| Watu wa mahali hapo wakamwuliza habari za mkewe. Akasema, Ni ndugu yangu huyu maana aliogopa kusema, Ni mke wangu, watu wa nchi wasije wakamwua kwa ajili ya Rebeka; kwa maana alikuwa mzuri wa uso. Mwanzo 26:7 |
The men of the place asked him about his wife. He said, "She is my sister," for he was afraid to say, "My wife," lest, he thought, the men of the place might kill me for Rebekah, because she was beautiful to look on. |
| Ikawa alipokuwa amekaa huko siku nyingi, Abimeleki, mfalme wa Wafilisti, akachungulia dirishani, akamwona Isaka anacheza-cheza na Rebeka mkewe. Mwanzo 26:8 |
It happened, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was caressing Rebekah, his wife. |
| Abimeleki akamwita Isaka, akasema, Yakini huyu ni mkeo, mbona ulisema, Ni ndugu yangu huyu? Isaka akamwambia, Kwa sababu nalisema, Nisife kwa ajili yake. Mwanzo 26:9 |
Abimelech called Isaac, and said, "Behold, surely she is your wife. Why did you say, 'She is my sister?'" Isaac said to him, "Because I said, 'Lest I die because of her.'" |

Isaac departed from there, encamped in the valley of Gerar, and lived there. |
| Isaka akarudi akavichimbua vile visima vya maji walivyovichimba siku za Ibrahimu babaye; maana wale Wafilisti walikuwa wamevifukia baada ya kufa kwake Ibrahimu; naye akaviita majina kufuata majina alivyoviita babaye. Mwanzo 26:18 |
Isaac dug again the wells of water, which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father. For the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham. He called their names after the names by which his father had called them. |

The herdsmen of Gerar argued with Isaac's herdsmen, saying, "The water is ours." He called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him. |
| Wakachimba kisima kingine, wakagombania na hicho tena. Akakiita jina lake Sitna. Mwanzo 26:21 |
They dug another well, and they argued over that, also. He called the name of it Sitnah. |
| Akaondoka huko akachimba kisima kingine, wala hicho hawakukigombania. Akakiita jina lake Rehobothi, akasema, Kwa kuwa sasa Bwana ametufanyia nafasi, nasi tutazidi katika nchi. Mwanzo 26:22 |
He left that place, and dug another well. They didn't argue over that one. He called it Rehoboth. He said, "For now Yahweh has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land." |
| Akapanda kutoka hapo mpaka Beer-sheba. Mwanzo 26:23 |

| Isaka akawauliza, Mbona mwanijia, nanyi mmenichukia, mkanifukuza kwenu? Mwanzo 26:27 |

| Wakasema, Hakika tuliona ya kwamba Bwana alikuwa pamoja nawe; nasi tukasema, Na tuapiane, sisi na wewe, na kufanya mapatano nawe Mwanzo 26:28 |
They said, "We saw plainly that Yahweh was with you. We said, 'Let there now be an oath between us, even between us and you, and let us make a covenant with you, |
| ya kuwa hutatutenda mabaya, iwapo sisi hatukukugusa wewe, wala hatukukutendea ila mema, tukakuacha uende zako kwa amani; nawe sasa u mbarikiwa wa Bwana. Mwanzo 26:29 |
that you will do us no harm, as we have not touched you, and as we have done to you nothing but good, and have sent you away in peace.' You are now the blessed of Yahweh." |

| Ikawa siku ileile, watumwa wa Isaka wakaja wakampasha habari za kile kisima walichokuwa wamekichimba, wakamwambia, Tumeona maji. Mwanzo 26:32 |
It happened the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and said to him, "We have found water." |
| Naye akakiita jina lake Shiba; kwa hiyo jina la mji huo ni Beer-sheba, hata leo. Mwanzo 26:33 |
He called it Shibah.{Shibah means "oath" or "seven."} Therefore the name of the city is Beersheba{Beersheba means "well of the oath" or "well of the seven"} to this day. |
