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 traveled from there toward the land of the South, and lived between Kadesh and Shur. He lived as a foreigner 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.
Abraham said about Sarah his wife, “She is my sister.” 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, you are a dead man, because of the woman whom you have 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. He said, “Lord, will you kill 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.”
Didn’t he tell me, ‘She is my sister’? She, even she herself, said, ‘He is my brother.’ I have done this in the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands.”
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.
God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also withheld you from sinning against me. Therefore I didn’t allow 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, restore the man’s wife. For he is a prophet, and he will pray for you, and you will live. If you don’t restore her, know for sure that you will die, you, and all who are yours.”
8 Hahabedafa, Abimelege da ea eagene ouligisu dunu huluane misa: ne sia: i. Amo hou huluane ilima olelelalu, ilia da bagadewane beda: i.
Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ear. The men were very scared.
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 to him, “What have you done to us? How have I sinned against you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You have done deeds to 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: ?”
Abimelech said to Abraham, “What did you see, that you have 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.’
Abraham said, “Because I thought, ‘Surely the fear of God is not in this place. They will kill 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.
Besides, she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of 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!’”
When God caused me to wander from my father’s house, I said to her, ‘This is your kindness which you shall show to me. Everywhere that we go, 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.
Abimelech took sheep and cattle, male servants and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored Sarah, his wife, to him.
15 Amola Abimelege da ema amane sia: i, “Na soge huluane ba: ma. Dia hanaiga amogai fima.”
Abimelech said, “Behold, my land is before you. Dwell where it pleases 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.”
To Sarah he said, “Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver. Behold, it is for you a covering of the eyes to all that are with you. In front of all you are vindicated.”
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.
Abraham prayed to God. So God healed Abimelech, his wife, and his female 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 closed up tight all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham’s wife.
