Genesis 20
1 And Abraham went on his way from there to the land of the South, and was living between Kadesh and Shur, in Gerar.
अब्राहाम त्यहाँबाट नेगेवको भूमितर्फ गए, र कादेश र शूरको बिचमा बसे । उनी गरारमा बसोबास गर्ने एक परदेशी थिए ।
2 And Abraham said of Sarah, his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech, king of Gerar, sent and took Sarah.
अब्राहामले आफ्नी पत्नी साराको बारेमा यस्तो भनेका थिए, “यिनी मेरी बहिनी हुन् ।” यसैकारण गरारका राजा अबीमेलेकले सारालाई मानिसहरू पठाई आफूकहाँ ल्याए ।
3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream in the night, and said to him, Truly you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken; for she is a man's wife.
तर परमप्रभु राती अबीमेलेकको सपनामा आउनुभयो, र तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “सुन्, तैँले आफ्नो साथमा ल्याएको स्त्रीको कारण तँ श्रापित भएको छस्, किनभने त्यो अरू कसैकी पत्नी हो ।”
4 Now Abimelech had not come near her; and he said, Lord, will you put to death an upright nation?
अबीमेलेक तिनको नजिक गएका थिएनन् र उनले भने, “परमप्रभु के तपाईंले धार्मिक जातिलाई पनि मार्नुहुन्छ र?
5 Did he not say to me himself, She is my sister? and she herself said, He is my brother: with an upright heart and clean hands have I done this.
के त्यो आफैँले मलाई ‘यिनी मेरी बहिनी हुन्’ भनेर भनेको थिएन र? त्यस स्त्रीले पनि, ‘तिनी मेरा दाजु हुन्’ भनेर भनेकी थिई । मेरो हृदयको इमान्दारी र मेरा निर्दोष हातद्वारा मैले यो गेरको हुँ ।”
6 And God said to him in the dream, I see that you have done this with an upright heart, and I have kept you from sinning against me: for this reason I did not let you come near her.
त्यसपछि परमप्रभुले तिनलाई सपनामा भन्नुभयो, “हो, यो मलाई पनि थाहा छ, कि तैँले आफ्नो हृदयको इमान्दारीमा यो गरिस्, र मैले नै तँलाई मेरो विरूद्ध पाप गर्नबाट बचाएँ । यसैकारण मैले तँलाई त्यस स्त्रीलाई छुन दिइनँ ।
7 So now, give the man back his wife, for he is a prophet, and let him say a prayer for you, so your life may be safe: but if you do not give her back, be certain that death will come to you and all your house.
यसैकारण, त्यस मानिसकी पत्नीलाई फर्काइदे, किनभने त्यो एउटा अगमवक्ता हो । त्यसले तेरो निम्ति प्रार्थना गर्नेछ, र तँ बाँच्नेछस् । तर यदि तैँले त्यसलाई फर्काइनस् भने, यो थाहा गर्, कि तँ र तेरा सबै निश्चय नै मर्नेछन् ।”
8 So Abimelech got up early in the morning and sent for all his servants and gave them word of these things, and they were full of fear.
अबीमेलेक बिहानै उठे र आफ्ना सबै नोकरहरूलाई बोलाए । तिनले यी सबै कुरा ती मानिसहरूलाई बताए, र तिनीहरू धेरै डराए ।
9 Then Abimelech sent for Abraham, and said, What have you done to us? what wrong have I done you that you have put on me and on my kingdom so great a sin? You have done to me things which are not to be done.
त्यसपछि अबीमेलेकले अब्राहामलाई बोलाएर भने, “तिमीले यो हामीलाई के गर्यौ? मैले तिम्रो विरुद्धमा के पाप गरेको थिएँ जसको कारण तिमीले ममाथि र मेरो राज्यमाथि यति ठुलो पाप ल्यायौ? तिमीले मसित गर्न नहुने काम गर्यौ ।”
10 And Abimelech said to Abraham, Why did you do this thing?
अबीमेलेकले अब्राहामलाई भने, “के कुराले तिमीलाई यस्तो काम गर्न लगायो?”
11 And Abraham said, Because it seemed to me that there was no fear of God in this place, and that they might put me to death because of my wife.
अब्राहामले भने, “किनभने यस ठाउँमा निश्चय नै परमप्रभुको कुनै भय छैन र तिनीहरूले मलाई मेरी पत्नीको कारणले मार्नेछन् भनी मैले विचार गरेँ ।
12 And, in fact, she is my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife:
हुन त यिनी मेरो बुबाकी छोरी मेरी बहिनी हुन्, तर यिनी मेरी आमाकी छोरी होइनन्, र यिनी मेरी पत्नी भइन् ।
13 And when God sent me wandering from my father's house, I said to her, Let this be the sign of your love for me; wherever we go, say of me, He is my brother.
जब परमप्रभुले मलाई मेरो बुबाको घर त्यागेर एक ठाउँदेखि अर्को ठाउँ यात्रा गर्न लगाउनुभयो, मैले तिनलाई भनेँ, ‘तिमी मेरी पत्नी भएकी कारणले हामी जाने हरेक ठाउँमा, मेरो विषयमा “उनी मेरा दाजु हुन्” भन्ने बताएर तिमीले मेरो निम्ति विश्वसनीयता देखाउनू ।’”
14 Then Abimelech gave to Abraham sheep and oxen and men-servants and women-servants, and gave him back his wife Sarah.
त्यसपछि अबीमेलेकले अब्राहामलाई भेडाहरू, गोरुहरू, र कमारा-कमारीहरू दिए । तिनले अब्राहामकी पत्नी सारालाई पनि उनीकहाँ फर्काइदिए ।
15 And Abimelech said, See, all my land is before you; take whatever place seems good to you.
अबीमेलेकले भने, “हेर, मेरो भूमि तिम्रै अगि छ । जहाँ तिमीलाई मनपर्छ त्यहीँ बस ।”
16 And he said to Sarah, See, I have given to your brother a thousand bits of silver so that your wrong may be put right; now your honour is clear in the eyes of all.
सारालाई तिनले भने, “हेर, मैले तिम्रो दाजुलाई चाँदीका हजार सिक्काहरू दिएको छु । तिमीसँग भएका सबैका आँखामा तिम्रो विरुद्धमा भएका सबै दोष ढाक्न मैले यो गरेको हुँ, र सबैको अगि तिमीलाई पूर्ण रूपमा सही ठहराएको छु ।”
17 Then Abraham made prayer to God, and God made Abimelech well again, and his wife and his women-servants, so that they had children.
त्यसपछि अब्राहामले परमप्रभुसँग प्रार्थना गरे, र उहाँले अबीमेलेक, तिनकी पत्नी, र तिनका कमारीहरूलाई निको पार्नुभयो र तिनीहरूले छोरीछोरी जन्माउन सके ।
18 For the Lord had kept all the women of the house of Abimelech from having children, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.
किनभने अब्राहामकी पत्नी साराको कारण अबीमेलेकको घरानाका सबै स्त्रीलाई परमप्रभुले बाँझी बनाउनुभएको थियो ।
