Genesis 20
1 Abraham advanced from there into the southern land, and he lived between Kadesh and Shur. And he sojourned 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 And he said about his wife Sarah: “She is my sister.” Therefore, Abimelech, the king of Gerar, sent for her and took her.
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 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.”
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 In truth, Abimelech had not touched her, and so he said: “Lord, would you put to death a people, ignorant and just?
Nzokande, Abimeleki apusanaki nanu te pembeni na ye. Agangaki: — Nkolo, okoboma penza ekolo ata soki esali na yango mabe te?
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.”
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 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.
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, 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.”
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 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.
Na tongo-tongo, Abimeleki alamukaki mpe abengisaki basali na ye nyonso. Tango ayebisaki bango makambo oyo ekomelaki ye, babangaki makasi.
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.”
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 And remonstrating him again, he said, “What did you see, so that you would do this?”
Abimeleki atunaki Abrayami: — Makanisi nini ozalaki na yango mpo ete osala boye?
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.
Abrayami azongisaki: — Namilobelaki: « Solo, bato ya esika oyo batosaka Nzambe ata moke te mpe bakoboma ngai mpo na mwasi na ngai.
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.
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 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.’”
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 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.
Boye Abimeleki azwaki bameme, bantaba, bangombe, basali ya mibali mpe ya basi, apesaki na Abrayami. Mpe azongiselaki ye mwasi na ye Sara.
15 And he said, “The land is in your sight. Dwell wherever it will please you.”
Abimeleki alobaki: « Mboka na ngai ezali liboso na yo, vanda na esika oyo olingi. »
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.”
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 Then when Abraham prayed, God healed Abimelech and his wife, and his handmaids, and they gave birth.
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 every womb of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, the wife of Abraham.
pamba te Yawe akangaki mabota kati na ndako mobimba ya Abimeleki likolo ya Sara, mwasi ya Abrayami.
