Genesis 20
1 Abraham removed from thence to the south country, and dwelt between Cades and Sur, and sojourned in Gerara.
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 And he said of Sara his wife: She is my sister. So Abimelech the king of Gerara sent, and took her.
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 And God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and he said to him: Lo thou shalt die for the woman thou hast taken: for she hath a husband.
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 touched her, and he said: Lord, wilt thou slay a nation, that is ignorant and just?
Ie amy zao tsy nañarine aze t’i Abimeleke; le hoe re, Ry Talè, ho vetrahe’o ka hao ty fifeheañe vantañe?
5 Did not he say to me: She is my sister: and she say, He is my brother? in the simplicity of my heart, and cleanness of my hands have I done this.
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 And God said to him: And I know that thou didst it with a sincere heart: and therefore I withheld thee from sinning against me, and I suffered thee not to 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 therefore restore the man his wife, for he is a prophet: and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: but if thou wilt not restore her, know that thou shalt surely die, thou and all that are thine.
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 And Abimelech forthwith rising up in the night, called all his servants: and spoke all these words in their hearing, and all the men were exceedingly afraid.
Aa le nañaleñale t’i Abimeleke nikanjy ze hene mpitoro’e naho nitalilie’e an-dravembia’ iereo; vaho fonga nangebahebake o lahilahio.
9 And Abimelech called also for Abraham, and said to him: What hast thou done to us? what have we offended thee in, that thou hast brought upon me and upon my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done to us what thou oughtest not to do.
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 And again he expostulated with him, and said, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this?
Hoe ka t’i Abimelek’ amy Avrahame, Ino ty nisafiri’o t’ie nanao o raha zao?
11 Abraham answered: I thought with myself, saying: Perhaps there is not the fear of God in this place: and they will kill me for the sake 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 Howbeit, otherwise also she is truly my sister, the daughter of my father, and not the daughter of my mother, and I took her to wife.
Mbore toe rahavaveko re, anak’ ampelan-draeko fa tsy anan-dreneko, vaho nivalieko.
13 And after God brought me out of my father’s house, I said to her: Thou shalt do me this kindness: In every place, to which we shall come, thou shalt say that I am thy 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 And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and servants and handmaids, and gave to Abraham: and restored to him Sara, his wife.
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 said: The land is before you, dwell wheresoever it shall please thee.
Hoe t’i Abimeleke, Heheke, añatrefa’o o tanekoo; mimoneña amy ze satri’o.
16 And to Sara he said: Behold I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: this shall serve thee for a covering of thy eyes to all that are with thee, and whithersoever thou shalt go: and remember thou wast taken.
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 And when Abraham prayed, God healed Abimelech and his wife, and his handmaids, and they bore 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 the Lord had closed up every womb of the house of Abimelech on account of Sara, Abraham’s wife.
amy te fonga nakite’ Iehovà heike ze hoviñe añ’anjomba’ i Abimeleke ty amy Sarà vali’ i Avrahame.
