< Genesis 20 >

1 Abraham advanced from there into the southern land, and he lived between Kadesh and Shur. And he sojourned in Gerar.
HELE aku la o Aberahama mailaila aku ma ka aina kukuluhema, a noho hoi ia mawaena o Kadesa a o Sura, a ma Gerara kona noho malihini ana.
2 And he said about his wife Sarah: “She is my sister.” Therefore, Abimelech, the king of Gerar, sent for her and took her.
Olelo aku la o Aberahama no kana wahine no Sara, Oia no kuu kaikuwahine: a hoouna mai la o Abimeleka ke alii o Gerara, a lawe aku la ia Sara.
3 Then God came to Abimelech through a dream in the night, and he said to him: “Lo, you shall die because of the woman that you have taken. For she has a husband.”
A hele mai la ke Akua io Abimeleka la ma ka moeuhane i ka po, i mai la ia ia, Aia hoi, he kanaka make oe, no ka wahine au i lawe iho nei, no ka mea, he wahine mea kane ia.
4 In truth, Abimelech had not touched her, and so he said: “Lord, would you put to death a people, ignorant and just?
Aka, aole i hoopili o Abimeleka ia ia: i aku la oia, E ka Haku, e pepehi mai no hoi oe i ka lahuikanaka hala ole?
5 Did he not say to me, ‘She is my sister,’ and did she not say, ‘He is my brother?’ In the sincerity of my heart and the purity of my hands, I have done this.”
Aole anei ia i olelo mai ia'u, O ko'u kaikuwahine ia! a o ka wahine, oia ka i i mai, He kaikunane keia no'u: ma ka manao pono o kuu naau a me ka hala ole o kuu mau lima ka'u i hana aku ai i keia.
6 And God said to him: “And I know that you have acted with a sincere heart. And therefore I kept you from sinning against me, and I did not release you to touch her.
I mai la ke Akua ia ia ma ka moeuhane, Oiaio. ke ike nei au, ua hana aku oe i keia ma ka manao pono o kou naau; a ua hoopaa no hoi au ia oe, i ole oe e hana hewa mai ia'u: nolaila, aole au i ae aku ia oe e hoopa ia ia.
7 Now therefore, return his wife to the man, for he is a prophet. And he will pray for you, and you will live. But if you are not willing to return her, know this: you shall die a death, you and all that is yours.”
No ia mea hoi, e hoihoi aku na ua kanaka la i kana wahine; no ka mea, he kaula ia, a nana no e pule mai nou, i ola ai oe: a i ole oe e hoihoi mai ia ia, alaila e ike pono oe, he oiaio e make no oe, o oe a me ou poe a pau.
8 And immediately Abimelech, rising up in the night, called all his servants. And he spoke all these words in their hearing, and all the men were very afraid.
Ala ae la o Abimeleka i kakahiaka nui, houluulu ae la i kana poe kauwa a pau, a hai aku la i keia mau mea maloko o ko lakou mau pepeiao: a makau loa iho la na kanaka.
9 Then Abimelech called also for Abraham, and he said to him: “What have you done to us? How have we sinned against you, so that you would bring so great a sin upon me and upon my kingdom? You have done to us what you ought not to have done.”
Alaila, kahea mai la o Abimeleka ia Aberahama, i mai la ia ia, Heaha kau i hana mai ai ia makou? Heaha hoi ko'u hala in oe, i hooili mai ai oe iluna iho o'u a o ko'u aupuni ka hewa nui? Ua hana mai oe ia'u i na mea pono ole ke hanaia.
10 And remonstrating him again, he said, “What did you see, so that you would do this?”
Ninau mai la o Abimeleka ia Aberahama, Heaha kau i ike mai ai, i hana iho ai oe i keia mea?
11 Abraham responded: “I thought to myself, saying: Perhaps there is no fear of God in this place. And they will put me to death because of my wife.
I aku la o Aberahama, No ka mea, i iho la au ma kuu naau, He oiaio, aole ka makau i ke Akua ma keia wahi; a e pepehi mai auanei lakou ia'u no kuu wahine.
12 Yet, in another way, she is also truly my sister, the daughter of my father, and not the daughter of my mother, and I took her as a wife.
He oiaio hoi, o ko'u kaikuwahine no ia, ke kaikamahine a kuu makuakane, aole nae ia ke kaikamahine a kuu makuwahine, a lilo mai la ia i wahine na'u.
13 Then, after God led me out of my father’s house, I said to her: ‘You will show this mercy to me. In every place, to which we will travel, you will say that I am your brother.’”
A i ka manawa a ke Akua i hooanwana mai ai ia'u mai ka hale o ko'u makuakane mai, i aku la au ia ia nei, Eia kou lokomaikai au e hoike mai ai ia'u: i na wahi a pau e hiki aku ai kana, e olelo aku oe no'u, O ko'u kaikunane ia.
14 Therefore, Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and men servants and women servants, and he gave them to Abraham. And he returned his wife Sarah to him.
Lawe ae la o Abimeleka i na hipa, me na bipikane, i na kauwakane a me na kauwawahine, a haawi mai la ia Aberahama, a hoihoi mai la oia ia Sara kana wahine nana.
15 And he said, “The land is in your sight. Dwell wherever it will please you.”
I mai la o Abimeleka, Aia hoi, imua ou ko'u aina, e noho ma kahi i makemake ai oe.
16 Then to Sarah he said: “Behold, I have given your brother one thousand silver coins. This will be for you as a veil for your eyes, to all who are with you and wherever you will travel. And so, remember that you were taken.”
I mai la hoi oia ia Sara, Aia hoi, ua haawi iho nei au i na apana kala he tausani na kou kaikunane: aia hoi, he mea pale maka ia nou imua o ka poe a pau me oe, a me na mea a pau: pela oia i aoia mai ai.
17 Then when Abraham prayed, God healed Abimelech and his wife, and his handmaids, and they gave birth.
Pule aku la o Aberahama i ke Akua: a hoola mai la ke Akua ia Abimeleka, me kana wahine a me kana poe kauwawahine; a hanaukeiki lakou.
18 For the Lord had closed every womb of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, the wife of Abraham.
No ka mea, ua papaniia e Iehova na opu o na wahine a pau o ka hale o Abimeleka, no Sara ka wahine a Aberahama.
