Mui 20
1 A: ibalaha: me da Ma: melei soge yolesili, Ga: ina: ne soge ga (south) la: idiga asi. E da diasu aduna amo Ga: idesie amola Sie amoga dogoa moilai bai bagade ea dio amo Gila esalu.
And Abraam removed thence to the southern country, and dwelt between Cades and Sur, and sojourned in Gerara.
2 Amoga, A:ibalaha: me da ea uda Sela amo da ea dalusi sia: i. Amalalu, Gila hina bagade dunu amo Abimelege da Sela ema misa: ne sia: i. E da ea diasuga esaloma: ne lai.
And Abraam said concerning Sarrha his wife, She is my sister, for he feared to say, She is my wife, lest at any time the men of the city should kill him for her sake. So Abimelech king of Gerara sent and took Sarrha.
3 Be Gode da simasia ganodini Abimelegema amane sia: i, “Di da bogoi dunu defele. Bai amo uda di da lai, amo da dunu eno idua.”
And God came to Abimelech by night in sleep, and said, Behold, thou diest for the woman, whom thou hast taken, whereas she has lived with a husband.
4 Be Abimelege da Sela amoma hame doaga: i galu. Amaiba: le, e amane sia: i, “Hina Gode! Di da fi amo wadela: le hame hamoi amo wadela: ma: bela: ?
But Abimelech had not touched her, and he said, Lord, wilt thou destroy an ignorantly [sinning] and just nation?
5 A: ibalaha: me da nama amane sia: i, ‘E da na dalusi,’ amola uda da nama amane sia: i, ‘E da na ola’. Na da amo sia: da dafawane dawa: beba: le, wadela: le hame hamoi.”
Said he not to me, She is my sister, and said she not to me, He is my brother? with a pure heart and in the righteousness of my hands have I done this.
6 Amalalu, Gode da amo simasia ganodini ema amane sia: i, “Dafawane! Na dawa: Di da asigi dawa: su dodofei dagoi amoga hamoi. Amaiba: le, Na da dia wadela: i hamomu logo damui dagoi. Bai di da e mae digili ba: ma: ne, Na da amo logo ga: i.
And God said to him in sleep, Yea, I knew that thou didst this with a pure heart, and I spared thee, so that thou shouldest not sin against me, therefore I suffered thee not to touch her.
7 Be wali amo dunu ea uda ema bu ima. E da balofede dunu amola e da di fidima: ne sia: ne gadomu. Amasea, di da hame bogole esalumu. Be ema bu hame iasea, di amola dia fi huluane da bogogia: mu, amo noga: le dawa: ma.”
But now return the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live; but if thou restore her not, know that thou shalt die and all thine.
8 Hahabedafa, Abimelege da ea eagene ouligisu dunu huluane misa: ne sia: i. Amo hou huluane ilima olelelalu, ilia da bagadewane beda: i.
And Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and he spoke all these words in their ears, and all the men feared exceedingly.
9 Amalalu, Abimelege da A: ibalaha: me misa: ne sia: i. E da ema amane sia: i, “Di da ninima adi hamobela: ? Dia hou hamoiba: le, na amola na fi da se bagade nabi. Na da dima adi wadela: i hou hamobela: ? Di da ninima hou hamoi da defea hame.”
And Abimelech called Abraam and said to him, What is this that thou hast done to us? Have we sinned against thee, that thou hast brought upon me and upon my kingdom a great sin? Thou hast done to me a deed, which no one ought to do.
10 Amola Abimelege da A: ibalaha: mema amane adole ba: i, “Adi baiga di da amo hou hamobela: ?”
And Abimelech said to Abraam, What hast thou seen in [me] that thou hast done this?
11 A: ibalaha: me da bu adole i, “Na da na dogo ganodini amane sia: i, ‘Amo soge ganodini, dunu fi da Godema hame beda: sa. Ilia da na uda ba: sea, na fane legemu.’
And Abraam said, Why I said, Surely there is not the worship of God in this place, and they will slay me because of my wife.
12 Amola, amo uda da dafawane na dalusi. E da na ada ea mano be eme ea mano hame. Amola amo na da lai dagoi.
For truly she is my sister by my father, but not by my mother, and she became my wife.
13 Amola Gode da nama nada ea fi amo fisili ga masa: ne sia: noba, na da Selama amane sia: i, ‘Di da dia nama asigi hou agoane olelema. Soge huluane ani ahoasea, na hou agoane olelema; E da na ola!’”
And it came to pass when God brought me forth out of the house of my father, that I said to her, This righteousness thou shalt perform to me, in every place into which we may enter, say of me, He is my brother.
14 Amalalu, Abimelege da sibi, bulamagau, udigili hawa: hamosu dunu amola udigili hawa: hamosu uda, amo oule misini, A:ibalaha: mema i. Amola ea uda Sela amo ema bu i.
And Abimelech took a thousand pieces of silver, and sheep, and calves, and servants, and maid-servants, and gave them to Abraam, and he returned him Sarrha his wife.
15 Amola Abimelege da ema amane sia: i, “Na soge huluane ba: ma. Dia hanaiga amogai fima.”
And Abimelech said to Abraam, Behold, my land is before thee, dwell wheresoever it may please thee.
16 E da Selama amane sia: i, “Na da dia olama silifa muni 1000 amo iaha. Amo da dunu huluane ilima di da wadela: i hame hamoi amo olelema: ne. Dunu huluane da di da wadela: i hame hamoi amo dawa: mu.”
And to Sarrha he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver, those shall be to thee for the price of thy countenance, and to all the women with thee, and speak the truth in all things.
17 Amalalu, A:ibalaha: me da Godema sia: ne gadoi. Amola Gode da Abimelege, ea uda amola ea udigili hawa: hamosu a: fini huluane uhinisi dagoi. Amalalu, ilia da mano eno bu lamu hou dawa: i.
And Abraam prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his women servants, and they bore children.
18 Bai Hina Gode da A: ibalaha: me idua Selama asigiba: le, Abimelege ea fi uda ilia mano lamu logo amo huluane ga: si dagoi. Be wali bu doasi.
Because the Lord had fast closed from without every womb in the house of Abimelech, because of Sarrha Abraam's wife.
