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 south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and 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 by night, and said to him, Behold, thou [art but] a dead man, for the woman which 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?
But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also 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 unto me, She [is] my sister? and she, even she herself said, He [is] my brother: in the integrity of my heart and 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 a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for 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 [his] 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.
Therefore 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 what have I offended 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 yet indeed [she is] my sister; she [is] 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 shew 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 menservants, and womenservants, 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, he [is] to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that [are] with thee, and with all [other: ] thus she was reproved.
17 Eka Ibrahim nolamo Nyasaye, kendo Nyasaye nochango Abimelek, chiege kod jotichne ma nyiri mondo omi ginywol nyithindo kendo,
So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare [children].
18 nimar noyudo ka Jehova Nyasaye osedino ii mon man e od Abimelek nikech Sara chi Ibrahim.
For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham’s wife.
