Genesis 20
1 And Abraham departed thence towards the south country, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned at Gerar.
Abrahaam achii kaʼee Negeebitti godaanee Qaadeshii fi Shuuri gidduu jiraate. Innis yeroodhaaf Geraaraa keessa ture.
2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister. And Abimelech the king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.
Achittis Abrahaam, “Isheen obboleettii koo ti” jedhee waaʼee niitii isaa, waaʼee Saaraa dubbate. Abiimelek mootiin Geraaraas nama itti ergee Saaraa fudhate.
3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art [but] a dead man, because of the woman that thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife.
Waaqni immoo halkan abjuudhaan Abiimelekitti dhufee, “Kunoo sababii dubartii sana fuudhatteef ati nama duʼee dha; isheen dhirsa qabdiitii” jedheen.
4 But Abimelech had not come near her. And he said, Lord, wilt thou also kill a righteous nation?
Abiimelek garuu isheetti hin dhiʼaanne ture; kanaafuu inni akkana jedhe; “Yaa Gooftaa ati saba qajeelaa balleessitaa?
5 Did he not say to me, She is my sister? and she, even she said, He is my brother. In the integrity of my heart and in the innocency of my hands have I done this.
Inni mataan isaa, ‘Isheen obboleettii koo ti’ naan hin jennee? Isheenis akkasuma, ‘Inni obboleessa koo ti’ hin jennee? Anis sammuu qulqulluu fi harka qulqulluudhaan waan kana hojjedhe.”
6 And God said to him in a dream, I also knew that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart, and I, too, have withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore have I not suffered thee to touch her.
Waaqni abjuu sana keessa akkana isaan jedhe; “Eeyyee! Ani akka ati sammuu qulqulluudhaan waan kana hojjette beeka; kanaafuu ani akka ati cubbuu natti hin hojjenneef si dhowween jira. Sababiin ani akka ati ishee bira geessu si hin dhiisiniifis kanuma.
7 And now, restore the man's wife; for he is a prophet, and will pray for thee, that thou mayest live. And if thou do not restore [her], know that thou shalt certainly die, thou and all that is thine.
Egaa amma niitii namichaa deebisiif; inni waan raajii taʼeef, Waaqa siif kadhata; atis ni jiraatta. Garuu yoo ishee deebisuu baatte, ati akka duutu, warri kan kee taʼan hundis akka duʼan dhugumaan beeki.”
8 And Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and spoke all these words in their ears; and the men were greatly afraid.
Abiimelek guyyaa itti aanu ganama obboroon kaʼee qondaaltota isaa hunda walitti waamee waan taʼe hunda isaanitti hime; isaanis akka malee sodaatan.
9 And Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, What hast thou done to us? And in what have I sinned against thee, that thou hast brought on me, and on my kingdom, a great sin? Thou hast done to me deeds that ought not to be done.
Abiimelekis Abrahaamin ofitti waamee akkana jedheen; “Ati maaliif akkana nu goote? Ani maal si goonaan ati cubbuu guddaa akkanaa anaa fi mootummaa kootti fidde? Ati waan namni hin hojjenne anatti hojjette.”
10 And Abimelech said to Abraham, What hast thou seen that thou hast done this?
Abiimelekis “Ati maaliif waan kana hojjette?” jedhee Abrahaamin gaafate.
11 And Abraham said, Because I said, Surely the fear of God is not in this place, and they will kill me for my wife's sake.
Abrahaam immoo akkana jedhee deebise; “Ani, ‘Biyya kana keessa dhugumaan Waaqa sodaachuun hin jiru; isaan sababii niitii kootiif jedhanii na ajjeesu’ jedheen yaadee ture.
12 But she is also truly my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
Taʼus isheen dhugumaan obboleettii koo ti; yoo haadha koo irraa dhalachuu baatte iyyuu isheen intaluma abbaa koo ti; isheenis niitii koo taate.
13 And it came to pass when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said to her, Let this be thy kindness which thou shalt shew to me: at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.
Anis yeroo Waaqni mana abbaa kootii na baase sana isheedhaan, ‘Haalli ati ittiin jaalala naaf qabdu mulʼiftu kanaa dha; lafa nu dhaqnu hundumaatti, “Inni obboleessa koo ti” jedhiitii waaʼee koo dubbadhun’ jedhe.”
14 And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and bondmen and bondwomen, and gave [them] to Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
Abiimelek ergasii hoolaa fi loon, garboota dhiiraa fi nadheenii fidee Abrahaamiif kenne; niitii isaa Saaraas ni deebiseef.
15 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it is good in thine eyes.
Abiimelekis, “Kunoo biyyi koo fuula kee dura jira; idduma feete jiraadhu” jedheen.
16 And to Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand [pieces] of silver; behold, let that be to thee a covering of the eyes, in respect of all that are with thee, and with all; and she was reproved.
Saaraadhaanis, “Kunoo ani meetii saqilii kuma tokko obboleessa keetiifin kenna. Kunis akka dhugaa qabaachuun kee fuula warra si wajjin jiranii duratti beekamuuf; ati guutumaan guutuutti dhugaa argatteerta” jedhe.
17 And Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife and his handmaids, and they bore [children].
Abrahaamis Waaqa kadhate; Waaqni immoo Abiimelek, niitii isaatii fi garboota isaa dubartoota fayyise; isaanis ijoollee godhatan.
18 For Jehovah had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
Waaqayyo sababii niitii Abrahaam sababii Saaraatiif jedhee gadameessa dubartoota mana Abiimelek jiraatanii hunda cufee tureetii.
