Genesis 20
1 Abraham traveled from there toward the land of the South, and lived between Kadesh and Shur. He lived as a foreigner in Gerar.
Abrayami alongwaki na mboka wana mpo na kokende na etuka ya Negevi mpe avandaki na mboka oyo ezalaki kati ya Kadeshi mpe Shuri; sima na tango moke, akendeki kovanda na Gerari.
2 Abraham said about Sarah his wife, “She is my sister.” Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
Abrayami azalaki koloba kuna na tina na Sara, mwasi na ye: « Azali ndeko na ngai ya mwasi! » Yango wana Abimeleki, mokonzi ya Gerari, atindaki bato mpo na koluka Sara mpe akamataki ye na makasi.
3 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.”
Kasi na butu, Nzambe ayaki epai ya Abimeleki kati na ndoto mpe alobaki na ye: « Okokufa mpo na mwasi oyo osili kozwa, pamba te azali mwasi ya libala. »
4 Now Abimelech had not come near her. He said, “Lord, will you kill even a righteous nation?
Nzokande, Abimeleki apusanaki nanu te pembeni na ye. Agangaki: — Nkolo, okoboma penza ekolo ata soki esali na yango mabe te?
5 Did not 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.”
Ezali mobali na ye moko nde alobaki: « Azali ndeko na ngai ya mwasi; » mpe ye moko andimaki: « Azali ndeko na ngai ya mobali. » Nasali yango na motema sembo mpe na maboko ezanga mbindo.
6 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 did not allow you to touch her.
Nzambe alobaki na ye na ndoto: — Solo, nayebi ete osali yango na motema sembo. Yango wana nabatelaki yo mpo ete osala lisumu te epai na Ngai, mpe natikaki te ete osimba ye.
7 Now therefore, restore the man’s wife. For he is a prophet, and he will pray for you, and you will live. If you do not restore her, know for sure that you will die, you, and all who are yours.”
Sik’oyo, zongisa mwasi yango epai ya mobali na ye mpo ete azali mosakoli. Akobondela mpo na yo mpe okokufa te. Soki ozongisi ye te, yeba ete okokufa, yo mpe bato na yo nyonso.
8 Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ear. The men were very scared.
Na tongo-tongo, Abimeleki alamukaki mpe abengisaki basali na ye nyonso. Tango ayebisaki bango makambo oyo ekomelaki ye, babangaki makasi.
9 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!”
Abimeleki abengaki Abrayami mpe alobaki na ye: — Likambo nini osali biso, lisumu nini nasali yo mpo ete omemisa ngai mpe mokili na ngai ngambo ya monene boye? Osali ngai makambo oyo ekoki kosalema te.
10 Abimelech said to Abraham, “What did you see, that you have done this thing?”
Abimeleki atunaki Abrayami: — Makanisi nini ozalaki na yango mpo ete osala boye?
11 Abraham said, “Because I thought, ‘Surely the fear of God is not in this place. They will kill me for my wife’s sake.’
Abrayami azongisaki: — Namilobelaki: « Solo, bato ya esika oyo batosaka Nzambe ata moke te mpe bakoboma ngai mpo na mwasi na ngai.
12 Besides, she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
Lisusu, azali ya solo ndeko na ngai ya mwasi, mwana ya tata na ngai; kasi azali mwana ya mama na ngai te. Nzokande akoma mwasi na ngai. »
13 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.”’”
Tango Nzambe alongolaki ngai na ndako ya tata na ngai mpo na kokende bipai na bipai, nayebisaki mwasi na ngai: « Tala bolamu oyo okosalela ngai: Bisika nyonso oyo tokokende, okolobaka na tina na ngai: ‹ Azali ndeko na ngai. › »
14 Abimelech took sheep and cattle, male servants and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored Sarah, his wife, to him.
Boye Abimeleki azwaki bameme, bantaba, bangombe, basali ya mibali mpe ya basi, apesaki na Abrayami. Mpe azongiselaki ye mwasi na ye Sara.
15 Abimelech said, “Behold, my land is before you. Dwell where it pleases you.”
Abimeleki alobaki: « Mboka na ngai ezali liboso na yo, vanda na esika oyo olingi. »
16 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.”
Abalukaki mpe alobaki lisusu epai na Sara: « Tala, napesi mbongo ya bibende, nkoto moko, epai ya ndeko na yo ya mobali. Ezali mpo na kozipa mabe oyo basali yo mpe bato nyonso oyo bazali elongo na yo; boye okomi sembo na nyonso. »
17 Abraham prayed to God. So God healed Abimelech, his wife, and his female servants, and they bore children.
Abrayami abondelaki Nzambe, mpe Nzambe abikisaki Abimeleki, mwasi na ye, mpe basi bawumbu na ye. Na nzela wana, bazwaki lisusu bana;
18 For the LORD had closed up tight all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham’s wife.
pamba te Yawe akangaki mabota kati na ndako mobimba ya Abimeleki likolo ya Sara, mwasi ya Abrayami.
