Chakruok 20
1 Ibrahim nowuotho moa kanyo modhi e gwenge mag Negev kendo odak e kind Kadesh kod Shur. Nodak Gerar kuom kinde matin,
And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the land of the South, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur; and he sojourned in Gerar.
2 kendo kanyo ema Ibrahim nowachonegi niya, “Sara en nyaminwa.” Eka Abimelek ruodh Gerar nooro joote moomone Sara kendo nokawe kaka chiege.
And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
3 To Nyasaye nofwenyore ne Abimelek e lek gotieno kendo owachone niya, “Dine ber ka itho nikech dhako ma ikawono; en chi ngʼato.”
But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, because of the woman whom thou hast taken; for she is a man’s wife.
4 To ne oyudo Abimelek pok oriwore kode. Eka nowacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye bende dineg joma onge ketho?
Now Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay even a righteous nation?
5 Donge ne onyisa ni ma nyaminwa; kendo donge Sara ema nowachona ni ma owadwa? Asetimo ma giparo malongʼo kod lwedo maler.”
Said he not himself unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and the innocency of my hands have I done this.
6 Eka Nyasaye nowachone e lek niya, “Ee angʼeyo ni nitimo ma kod paro malongʼo omiyo aseriti mondo kik iketh e nyima. Mano ema nomiyo ok ayieni mondo iriwri kode.
And God said unto him in the dream, Yea, I know that in the integrity 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 Koro dwokne Ibrahim chiege, nimar en janabi, kendo obiro lamoni mi ok initho. To ka ok idwoke, to bed gadiera ni in gi jogi duto ubiro tho.”
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 Kinyne gokinyi mangʼich Abimelek noluongo jotichne duto kendo kane onyisogi gik moko duto mane osetimore, negibedo maluor ahinya.
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 Eka Abimelek noluongo Ibrahim ire mi openje niya, “Angʼo ma isetimonwani? Ere gima rach ma asetimoni ma omiyo isekelo richo maduongʼni kuoma kod pinyruodha? Isetimona gik moko ma ok onego tim ne ngʼato.”
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 Kendo Abimelek nopenjo Ibrahim niya, “En angʼo miparo momiyo itimo gini?”
And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?
11 Ibrahim nodwoke niya, “Ne awacho e chunya ni, ‘Adier luor mar Nyasaye onge ka, kendo gibiro nega nikech chiega.’
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 To bende, kuom adier en nyaminwa, ma nyar wuora, to minewa ema opogore; kendo ne akende obedo chiega.
And moreover she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife:
13 Kendo kane Nyasaye ochika mondo awuog e od wuora mondo awuoth e pinje mamoko, nawachone Sara ni, ‘Mae kaka inyalo nyisa ni ihera: Kamoro amora ma wadhiye wach niya, “An owadu.”’”
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 Eka Abimelek nokelo rombe gi dhok kod wasumbini mamon kod machwo kendo nomiyogi Ibrahim kendo Abimelek nodwokone Ibrahim Sara chiege.
And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and men-servants and women-servants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
15 Kendo Abimelek nowacho niya, “Pinya duto ni e lweti; dag kamoro amora ma ihero.”
And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.
16 Nonyiso Sara bende niya, “Asemiyo owadu shekel mar fedha maromo alufu achiel mondo obed ranyisi ne jou duto ni ionge gi ketho; nikech ok isetimo gimoro amora marach.”
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 in respect of all thou art righted.
17 Eka Ibrahim nolamo Nyasaye, kendo Nyasaye nochango Abimelek, chiege kod jotichne ma nyiri mondo omi ginywol nyithindo kendo,
And Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maid-servants; and they bare children.
18 nimar noyudo ka Jehova Nyasaye osedino ii mon man e od Abimelek nikech Sara chi Ibrahim.
For Jehovah had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham’s wife.
