Suencuek 20
1 Te phoeiah Abraham loh Negev kho la puen uh tih Kadesh neh Shur laklo ah kho a sak vaengkah Gerar ah bakuep.
And Abraam removed thence to the southern country, and lived between Cades and Sur, and sojourned in Gerara.
2 Te vaengah Abraham loh a yuu Sarah te ka ngannu ni a ti dongah Gerar manghai Abimelek a tah tih Sarah te a loh.
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 Tedae Abimelek te khoyin a mang ah Pathen loh a paan tih a taengah, “Rhukom tangtae hlang yuu te na rhawt dongah na duek coeng ne,” a ti nah.
And God came to Abimelech by night in sleep, and said, Behold, you die for the woman, whom you have taken, whereas she has lived with a husband.
4 Te dongah Abimelek loh anih te ben pawh. Tedae, “Boeipa namtom loh dueng cakhaw na ngawn aya?
But Abimelech had not touched her, and he said, Lord, will you destroy an ignorantly [sinning] and just nation?
5 Amah loh kai taengah, 'Anih ka ngannu a ti tih he long khaw ka nganpa ni, ' a ti moenih a? Ka thinko thincaknah neh, ka kut cimcaihnah nen ni he khaw ka saii,” a ti nah.
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 Te dongah anih te a mang ah Pathen loh, “Ue hekah he nang loh thinko thincaknah neh na saii tila ka ming. Tedae anih taek sak ham nang kam paek pawt dongah kai taengah tholh khui lamloh nang te kan tuem kan soem.
And God said to him in sleep, Yes, I knew that you did this with a pure heart, and I spared you, so that you should not sin against me, therefore I suffered you not to touch her.
7 Tahae ah hlang yuu te mael laeh. Anih te tonghma tih nang ham a thangthui daengah ni na hing eh. Na mael pawt atah na taengkah boeih neh namah khaw na duek rhoe na duek ni tila ming laeh,” a ti nah.
But now return the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and shall pray for you, and you shall live; but if you restore her not, know that you shall die and all your.
8 Te dongah Abimelek te mincang ah thoo tih a sal boeih te a khue. Te phoeiah hekah olka boeih he amih hna ah a thui hatah hlang boeih loh a rhih uh.
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 Abimelek loh Abraham te a khue tih, “Kaimih ham balae na saii, nang taengah metlam ka tholh tih kamah so neh ka ram ah tholh muep nan khuen. Kai taengah na saii bibi te a saii uh noek moenih,” a ti nah.
And Abimelech called Abraam and said to him, What is this that you have done to us? Have we sinned against you, that you have brought upon me and upon my kingdom a great sin? You have done to me a deed, which no one ought to do.
10 Te dongah Abimelek loh Abraham te, “Hekah dumlai he na saii vaengah balae na hmuh,” a ti nah.
And Abimelech said to Abraam, What have you seen in [me] that you have done this?
11 Tedae Abraham loh, “Hekah hmuen ah Pathen hinyahnah om pawt tih ka yuu kah olka ah kai n'ngawn uh ve ka ti dongah ni.
And Abraam said, Why I said, Surely there is not the worship of God in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.
12 Tedae anih te a pa canu ka ngannu rhep ni. A nu canu pawt dae ka yuu lam khaw om ngawn.
For truly she is my sister by my father, but not by my mother, and she became my wife.
13 Te dongah a pa im lamkah Pathen loh kai kho m'hmang sak vaengah anih taengah, 'Nang kah sitlohnah he kai taengah na saii ham atah mekah hmuen boeih ah m'pha cakhaw, 'Anih he ka nganpa ni, 'ti ne tila kamah loh pahoi ka ti nah coeng,” a ti nah.
And it came to pass when God brought me forth out of the house of my father, that I said to her, This righteousness you shall perform to me, in every place into which we may enter, say of me, He is my brother.
14 Te vaengah Abimelek loh tu neh saelhung khaw, sal tongpa neh salnu khaw a loh tih Abraham te a paek. A yuu Sarah te khaw amah taengah a mael.
And Abimelech took a thousand pieces of silver, and sheep, and calves, and servants, and maidservants, and gave them to Abraam, and he returned him Sarrha his wife.
15 Te phoeiah Abimelek loh, “Na mikhmuh kah ka khohmuen aka om he namah mik ah then na ti bangla khosa ngawn ne,” a ti nah.
And Abimelech said to Abraam, Behold, my land is before you, dwell wherever it may please you.
16 Sarah taengah khaw, “Na nganpa taengah tangka thawngkhat nang ham hmaithennah ka paek coeng tih namah taengkah aka om boeih neh hlang boeih hmaiah na tang uh coeng he,” a ti nah.
And to Sarrha he said, Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver, those shall be to you for the price of your countenance, and to all the women with you, and speak the truth in all things.
17 Tedae Abraham te Pathen taengah thangthui. Pathen loh Abimelek khaw, a yuu khaw, a salnu rhoek khaw a hoeih sak dongah ca a sak uh.
And Abraam prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his women servants, and they bore children.
18 Abraham yuu Sarah kah lai ah Abimelek im kah hlang bung boeih te BOEIPA loh a khaih rhoela a khaih pah.
Because the Lord had fast closed from without every womb in the house of Abimelech, because of Sarrha Abraam's wife.
