Genesis 20
1 Now Abraham journeyed from there to the region of the Negev and settled between Kadesh and Shur. While he was staying in Gerar,
Nañavelo boak’ao t’i Avrahame mb’an-tane atao Nègeve, le nitobe añivo’ i Kadèse naho i Sore vaho nañialo e Gerare ao,
2 Abraham said of his wife Sarah, “She is my sister.” So Abimelech king of Gerar had Sarah brought to him.
vaho hoe ty nanoe’ Avrahame i Sarà vali’e, Rahavaveko re. Aa le nampañitrike t’i Abimeleke mpanjaka’ i Gerare vaho rinambe’e t’i Sarà.
3 One night, however, God came to Abimelech in a dream and told him, “You are as good as dead because of the woman you have taken, for she is a married woman.”
Le niheo amy Abimelek’ ama’ nofy te haleñe t’i Andrianañahare nanao ty hoe ama’e. Inao! ondaty vetrake irehe, ty amy rakemba nalae’oy, amy t’ie vali’ ondaty.
4 Now Abimelech had not gone near her, so he replied, “Lord, would You destroy a nation even though it is innocent?
Ie amy zao tsy nañarine aze t’i Abimeleke; le hoe re, Ry Talè, ho vetrahe’o ka hao ty fifeheañe vantañe?
5 Didn’t Abraham tell me, ‘She is my sister’? And she herself said, ‘He is my brother.’ I have done this in the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands.”
Tsy ie hao ty nanao amako ty hoe, Rahavaveko re, vaho ie ka ty hoe Rahalahiko. Nanoeko an-katsòn-troke naho an-kahitin-tañako.
6 Then God said to Abimelech in the dream, “Yes, I know that you did this with a clear conscience, and so I have kept you from sinning against Me. That is why I did not let you touch her.
Aa le hoe t’i Andrianañahare ama’e ama’ nofy, Eka, apotako te nanoe’o an-kavantañan’ arofo; mbore kinalako irehe tsy handilara’o, le tsy nimeteko t’ie hitsapa aze.
7 Now return the man’s wife, for he is a prophet; he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not restore her, be aware that you will surely die—you and all who belong to you.”
Ie amy zao, ampolio am’ indatiy ty vali’e; mpitoky re, le hihalalia’e t’ie ho veloñe. Fe naho tsy hampoli’o, le mahafohina te toe havetrake, ihe naho o ao iabio.
8 Early the next morning Abimelech got up and summoned all his servants; and when he described to them all that had happened, the men were terrified.
Aa le nañaleñale t’i Abimeleke nikanjy ze hene mpitoro’e naho nitalilie’e an-dravembia’ iereo; vaho fonga nangebahebake o lahilahio.
9 Then Abimelech called Abraham and asked, “What have you done to us? How have I sinned against you, that you have brought such tremendous guilt upon me and my kingdom? You have done things to me that should not be done.”
Kinanji’ i Abimeleke t’i Avrahame le nanoa’e ty hoe, Inon-koahe ty nanoa’o ama’ay? Ino ty hakeoko ama’o te nendesa’o amako naho amo fehekoo ty tahiñe jabajaba toy? Toe tsy fanao o raha nanoa’ o ahikoo.
10 Abimelech also asked Abraham, “What prompted you to do such a thing?”
Hoe ka t’i Abimelek’ amy Avrahame, Ino ty nisafiri’o t’ie nanao o raha zao?
11 Abraham replied, “I thought to myself, ‘Surely there is no fear of God in this place. They will kill me on account of my wife.’
Hoe t’i Avrahame, Foto’e, nataoko tsy ho ami’ty toetse toy ty fañeveñañe aman’ Añahare vaho ho nañe-doza amako iereo ty amy valikoy.
12 Besides, she really is my sister, the daughter of my father—though not the daughter of my mother—and she became my wife.
Mbore toe rahavaveko re, anak’ ampelan-draeko fa tsy anan-dreneko, vaho nivalieko.
13 So when God had me journey from my father’s house, I said to Sarah, ‘This is how you can show your loyalty to me: Wherever we go, say of me, “He is my brother.”’”
Aa ie nampandifik’ ahy añ’ anjomban-draeko t’i Andrianañahare, le hoe ty nanoako, Inao ty hasoa hanoa’o ahy amy ze toetse ivotrahan-tika, te hatao’o ty amako: Rahalahiko re.
14 So Abimelech brought sheep and cattle, menservants and maidservants, and he gave them to Abraham and restored his wife Sarah to him.
Nangalak’ añondry naho añombe, naho ondevo-lahy naho ampela t’i Abimeleke vaho natolo’e amy Avrahame le nampoli’e ama’e t’i Sarà vali’e.
15 And Abimelech said, “Look, my land is before you. Settle wherever you please.”
Hoe t’i Abimeleke, Heheke, añatrefa’o o tanekoo; mimoneña amy ze satri’o.
16 And he said to Sarah, “See, I am giving your brother a thousand pieces of silver. It is your vindication before all who are with you; you are completely cleared.”
Hoe re amy Sarà, Ingo, te nimeako volafoty arivo ty rahalahi’o ho tako-maso amo hene mindre ama’oo; nahazo to re añatrefa ondaty iabio.
17 Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech and his wife and his maidservants, so that they could again bear children—
Nihalaly aman’ Añahare t’i Avrahame le nampijangañen’ Añahare t’i Abimeleke naho ty vali’e vaho ondevo ampela’eo, t’ie hahasamake,
18 for on account of Abraham’s wife Sarah, the LORD had completely closed all the wombs in Abimelech’s household.
amy te fonga nakite’ Iehovà heike ze hoviñe añ’anjomba’ i Abimeleke ty amy Sarà vali’ i Avrahame.
