Genesis 20
1 Abraham traveled towards the Negev, staying between Kadesh and Shur. After that he moved on to live in Gerar.
Abraram kite Manmre, li pati, li ale Negèv, li rete ant Kadès ak Chour kote li moute kay li. Pandan tout tan li t'ap viv nan peyi Gera a,
2 During his time there, when Abraham told people about his wife Sarah, he said, “She's my sister.” So Abimelech, king of Gerar, sent for Sarah and took her to become one of his wives.
li t'ap di se sè li Sara te ye. Se konsa, Abimelèk, wa peyi Gera a, fè yo mennen Sara ba li.
3 But God appeared to Abimelech in a dream and told him, “Listen! You're going to die because the woman you've taken is already married—she has a husband.”
Men pandan lannwit, Abimelèk fè yon rèv, li wè Bondye parèt devan li. Bondye di l'. Gade non, monchè. Ou pral mouri tande, paske Sara se yon madan marye.
4 Abimelech hadn't touched Sarah, and he asked, “Lord, do you kill good people?
Men, Abimelèk pa t' gen tan kouche avè Sara. Li di. Mèt, èske w'ap kite yon pèp inonsan peri?
5 Didn't Abraham tell me himself, ‘She's my sister,’ and didn't Sarah also say, ‘He's my brother’? I did this in all innocence—my conscience is clear!”
Se Abraram ki di m' se sè li Sara ye. Sara pou tèt pa l' di m' se frè li Abraram ye. Mwen fè sa m' fè a san ankenn move lide. Mwen konnen mwen pa fè anyen ki mal.
6 God told him in the dream, “Yes, I know you did this in all innocence, so I prevented you from sinning against me. That's why I didn't let you touch her.
Bondye reponn li nan rèv la. Wi. Mwen konnen ou fè sa ou fè a san ankenn move lide dèyè tèt ou. Se poutèt sa mwen pa kite ou fè peche sa a kont mwen. Mwen pa kite ou fè madanm lan anyen.
7 Send the man's wife back to him. He's a prophet. He will pray for you, and you will live. But if you don't send her back to him, you should know for sure that you and all your family will die.”
Men sa pou ou fè: renmèt nonm lan madanm li. Se yon pwofèt Bondye li ye. La lapriyè pou ou pou ou pa mouri. Men, si ou pa renmèt li, mwen tout di ou nou pral mouri, ou menm ansanm ak tout fanmi ou.
8 Abimelech got up early in the morning and called all his servants together. He explained everything that had happened, and they were all terrified.
Nan maten, bonè bonè, Abimelèk rele tout domestik li yo, li rakonte yo tout bagay. Yo tout yo te pè anpil.
9 Then Abimelech summoned Abraham and asked him “What have you done to us? How have I wronged you that you should treat me like this, bringing this terrible sin on me and my kingdom? You've done things to me that no one should ever do!”
Lèfini, Abimelèk rele Abraram, li di l'. Kisa ou fè nou konsa? Kisa m' fè ou pou ou ta lakòz yon gwo malè konsa tonbe sou mwen ak sou peyi a? Sa ou fè nou la a, se bagay moun pa gen dwa fè.
10 Then Abimelech asked Abraham “What were you thinking when you did this?”
Abimelèk di Abraram ankò. Poukisa ou fè sa ou fè a?
11 “Well, I thought to myself, ‘Nobody respects God in this place. They'll kill me just to get my wife,’” Abraham replied.
Abraram reponn li. Mwen te di nan kè m' pa gen moun ki gen krentif pou Bondye bò isit la. Mwen tè kwè yo ta ka touye m' poutèt madanm mwen.
12 “Anyway, she really is my sister, the daughter of my father but not my mother, and I married her.
Men, se vre wi, se sè m' li ye. Nou menm papa, men nou pa menm manman. Epi se madanm mwen li ye tou.
13 Since my God made me move far away from my family home, I told her, ‘If you really love me, then wherever you go with me you must tell people: He's my brother.’”
Se konsa, lè Bondye fè m' kite lakay papa m' pou m' al nan peyi etranje yo, mwen di Sara: m'ap mande ou pou rann mwen yon sèvis? Si ou renmen m' vre, tanpri, kote ou pase, se pou di se frè ou mwen ye.
14 Then Abimelech gave Abraham gifts of sheep, cattle, and male and female slaves, and returned his wife Sarah to him.
Lè sa a, Abimelèk renmèt Sara bay Abraram. Anmenmtan li ba li mouton, bèf ak domestik, fanm kou gason, pou sèvi l'.
15 Abimelech told him, “Look over my land. You can choose to live anywhere you like.”
Li di Abraram. Gade! tout peyi m' lan devan ou. Rete kote ki fè ou plezi.
16 Abimelech also told Sarah, “Notice that I'm giving your brother a thousand pieces of silver. This is to compensate you for the wrong done to you in the eyes of everyone with you, and to make sure that your name is publicly cleared.”
Epi li di Sara. Mwen bay frè ou la mil (1.000) pyès lajan. Se pou sa ka fè moun ki la avè ou yo bliye sak te rive ou. Konsa, tout moun va konnen ou pa t' fè anyen ki mal.
17 Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, his wife, and his female slaves, so that they could have children again.
Abraram lapriyè pou Abimelèk, epi Bondye geri li. Bondye geri madanm li tout ansanm ak medam k'ap travay lakay li pou yo kapab fè pitit ankò.
18 For the Lord had made all the women unable to have children because Abraham's wife, Sarah, had been taken.
Poutèt sa ki te rive Sara, madanm Abraram lan, Seyè a te fè tout fanm lakay Abimelèk pa t' kapab fè pitit.
