Genesis 20
1 Abraham loe ohhaih ahmuen hoi aloih bang ah angpuen moe, Kadesh hoi Shur vangpui salakah khosak. Gerar vangpui ah doeh nawnetta thung oh.
And Abraham went on his way from there to the land of the South, and was living between Kadesh and Shur, in Gerar.
2 To naah Abraham mah a zu Sarah to, Ka tanuh ni, tiah thuih. To pongah Gerar vangpui siangpahrang Abimelek mah kami to patoeh moe, Sarah to laksak.
And Abraham said of Sarah, his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech, king of Gerar, sent and took Sarah.
3 Toe qum amang ah Abimelek khaeah Sithaw angzoh pae moe, anih khaeah, Khenah, nongpata to na naeh pongah nang loe kadueh kami ah ni na oh boeh, anih loe kami maeto ih zu boeh ni, tiah a naa.
But God came to Abimelech in a dream in the night, and said to him, Truly you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken; for she is a man's wife.
4 Toe Abimelek loe Sarah khaeah caeh ai vop; anih mah, Angraeng, katoeng acaeng to na hum han maw?
Now Abimelech had not come near her; and he said, Lord, will you put to death an upright nation?
5 Anih mah kai khaeah nongpata loe, Ka tanuh ni, tiah ang naa moe, nongpata mah doeh anih loe, Ka thangqoi ni, tiah thuih; kai loe hae hmuen hae poekciimhaih hoi kaciim ban hoiah ni ka sak, tiah a naa.
Did he not say to me himself, She is my sister? and she herself said, He is my brother: with an upright heart and clean hands have I done this.
6 To naah Sithaw mah amang ah anih khaeah, Ue, poekciimhaih hoiah ni na sak tito ka panoek; to pongah ni ka koeh ai ih hmuen baktiah na zae haih han ai ah kang pakaa moe, anih to kang suisak ai.
And God said to him in the dream, I see that you have done this with an upright heart, and I have kept you from sinning against me: for this reason I did not let you come near her.
7 To pongah kami ih zu to paek let ah; anih loe tahmaa ah oh, anih mah nang hanah lawk na thui pae nahaeloe, hinghaih na hnu tih; toe anih ih zu to na paek let ai nahaeloe, nangmah hoi na caanawk boih, na dueh o tangtang tih, tiah panoek ah, tiah a naa.
So now, give the man back his wife, for he is a prophet, and let him say a prayer for you, so your life may be safe: but if you do not give her back, be certain that death will come to you and all your house.
8 Abimelek loe khawnbang khawnthaw ah angthawk, a tamnanawk to kawk moe, nihcae khaeah amang ah hnuk ih hmuennawk to thuih pae boih, to naah nihcae loe paroeai zit o.
So Abimelech got up early in the morning and sent for all his servants and gave them word of these things, and they were full of fear.
9 To pacoengah Abimelek mah Abraham to kawk moe, anih khaeah, Tipongah kaicae nuiah hae baktih hmuen hae na sak loe? Na nuiah tih sethaih maw ka sak moe, ka nui hoi ka prae thungah hae baktih kalen zaehaih to nang phaksak? Tikhoe sak koi ai hmuen to ka nuiah na sak loe? tiah a naa.
Then Abimelech sent for Abraham, and said, What have you done to us? what wrong have I done you that you have put on me and on my kingdom so great a sin? You have done to me things which are not to be done.
10 Abimelek mah Abraham khaeah, Kawbang maw na poek moe, hae tiah na sak? tiah a naa.
And Abimelech said to Abraham, Why did you do this thing?
11 Abraham mah, Hae prae kaminawk loe Sithaw zithaih tawn o ai moe, ka zu pongah kai na hum o tih, tiah ka poek.
And Abraham said, Because it seemed to me that there was no fear of God in this place, and that they might put me to death because of my wife.
12 To pacoengah anih loe ka tanuh ah doeh oh roe; kam pa ih canu ah oh, toe amno loe lah; anih to ka zu haih.
And, in fact, she is my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife:
13 Kam pa imthung hoiah Sithaw mah ang proengsak naah, nongpata khaeah, Nam lunghaih kai khaeah amtuengsak hanah, na caehhaih ahmuen kruekah, kai loe, na thangqoi ni, tiah thui ah, tiah ka naa, tiah a thuih pae.
And when God sent me wandering from my father's house, I said to her, Let this be the sign of your love for me; wherever we go, say of me, He is my brother.
14 To pacoengah Abimelek mah, tuu hoi maitawnawk, tamna nongpa hoi nongpatanawk to lak moe, a zu Sarah hoi nawnto Abraham khaeah paek let.
Then Abimelech gave to Abraham sheep and oxen and men-servants and women-servants, and gave him back his wife Sarah.
15 Abimelek mah Abraham khaeah, Khenah, na hmaa ah kaom long loe kai ih boih ni; na koeh ih ahmuen ah khosah ah, tiah a naa.
And Abimelech said, See, all my land is before you; take whatever place seems good to you.
16 Anih mah Sarah khaeah, Khenah, Na thangqoi khaeah mikhmai sakhaih phoisa shekel sangto ka paek boeh; to phoisa loe na taengah kaom kaminawk boih hmaa ah kaciim ah na oh moe, zaehaih tidoeh na sah ai, tiah nihcae boih mah panoek han ih ni, tiah a naa.
And he said to Sarah, See, I have given to your brother a thousand bits of silver so that your wrong may be put right; now your honour is clear in the eyes of all.
17 To pacoengah Abraham mah Sithaw khaeah lawkthuih pae, to naah Sithaw mah Abimelek, anih ih zu hoi a tamna nongpatanawk to ngantuisak; nihcae loe caa sak o.
Then Abraham made prayer to God, and God made Abimelech well again, and his wife and his women-servants, so that they had children.
18 Abraham ih zu Sarah pongah, Angraeng mah Abimelek imthung takoh boih caa kaaksak.
For the Lord had kept all the women of the house of Abimelech from having children, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.
