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 Abraham journeyed from thence toward the land of the South, and dwelt 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 Abraham said of Sarah his wife: 'She is my sister.' And Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.

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.”

But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him: 'Behold, thou shalt die, because of the woman whom thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife.'

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: ?

Now Abimelech had not come near her; and he said: 'Lord, wilt Thou slay even a righteous 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 himself unto me: She is my sister? and she, even she herself said: He is my brother. In the simplicity of my heart and the innocency 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 unto him in the dream: 'Yea, I know that in the simplicity of thy heart thou hast done this, and I also withheld thee from sinning against Me. Therefore suffered I 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.”

Now therefore restore the man's wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live; and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are 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 told all these things in their ears; and the men were sore 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 Abraham, and said unto him: 'What hast thou done unto us? and wherein have I sinned against thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done.'

10 Amola Abimelege da A: ibalaha: mema amane adole ba: i, “Adi baiga di da amo hou hamobela: ?”

And Abimelech said unto Abraham: 'What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?'

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 Abraham said: 'Because I thought: Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake.

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.

And moreover she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and so 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 caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said unto her: This is thy kindness which thou shalt show unto me; at every place whither we shall come, 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 sheep and oxen, and men-servants and women-servants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.

15 Amola Abimelege da ema amane sia: i, “Na soge huluane ba: ma. Dia hanaiga amogai fima.”

And Abimelech said: 'Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth 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 unto Sarah he said: 'Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver; behold, it is for thee a covering of the eyes to all that are with thee; and before all men thou art righted.'

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 Abraham prayed unto God; and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maid-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.

For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
