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.
Abraham advanced from there into the southern land, and he lived between Kadesh and Shur. And he sojourned in Gerar.
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 he said about his wife Sarah: “She is my sister.” Therefore, Abimelech, the king of Gerar, sent for her and took her.
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.”
Then God came to Abimelech through a dream in the night, and he said to him: “Lo, you shall die because of the woman that you have taken. For she has 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: ?
In truth, Abimelech had not touched her, and so he said: “Lord, would you put to death a people, ignorant and just?
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.”
Did he not say to me, ‘She is my sister,’ and did she not say, ‘He is my brother?’ In the sincerity of my heart and the purity of my hands, I have 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: “And I know that you have acted with a sincere heart. And therefore I kept you from sinning against me, and I did not release you 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.”
Now therefore, return his wife to the man, for he is a prophet. And he will pray for you, and you will live. But if you are not willing to return her, know this: you shall die a death, you and all that is yours.”
8 Hahabedafa, Abimelege da ea eagene ouligisu dunu huluane misa: ne sia: i. Amo hou huluane ilima olelelalu, ilia da bagadewane beda: i.
And immediately Abimelech, rising up in the night, called all his servants. And he spoke all these words in their hearing, and all the men were very afraid.
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.”
Then Abimelech called also for Abraham, and he said to him: “What have you done to us? How have we sinned against you, so that you would bring so great a sin upon me and upon my kingdom? You have done to us what you ought not to have done.”
10 Amola Abimelege da A: ibalaha: mema amane adole ba: i, “Adi baiga di da amo hou hamobela: ?”
And remonstrating him again, he said, “What did you see, so that you would do 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.’
Abraham responded: “I thought to myself, saying: Perhaps there is no fear of God in this place. And they will put me to death 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.
Yet, in another way, she is also truly my sister, the daughter of my father, and not the daughter of my mother, and I took her as a 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!’”
Then, after God led me out of my father’s house, I said to her: ‘You will show this mercy to me. In every place, to which we will travel, you will say that I am your 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.
Therefore, Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and men servants and women servants, and he gave them to Abraham. And he returned his wife Sarah to him.
15 Amola Abimelege da ema amane sia: i, “Na soge huluane ba: ma. Dia hanaiga amogai fima.”
And he said, “The land is in your sight. Dwell wherever it will please you.”
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.”
Then to Sarah he said: “Behold, I have given your brother one thousand silver coins. This will be for you as a veil for your eyes, to all who are with you and wherever you will travel. And so, remember that you were taken.”
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.
Then when Abraham prayed, God healed Abimelech and his wife, and his handmaids, and they gave birth.
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.
For the Lord had closed every womb of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, the wife of Abraham.
