Genesis 20
1 Abraham traveled towards the Negev, staying between Kadesh and Shur. After that he moved on to live in Gerar.
Alò Abraham te vwayaje soti la vè peyi Negev la. Li te vin rete antre Kàdes ak Schur, e li te pase yon tan kon etranje nan Guérar.
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.
Abraham te di selon Sarah, madanm li: “Li se sè mwen”. Alò, Abimélec, wa nan Guérar a te vin pran Sarah.
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 Bondye te vini a Abimélec nan yon rèv nan nwit, e Li te di li: “Veye byen, ou se yon moun ki fin mouri akoz fanm ke ou te pran an, paske li marye.”
4 Abimelech hadn't touched Sarah, and he asked, “Lord, do you kill good people?
Alò, Abimélec pa t gen tan pwoche li, epi li te reponn: “Senyè, èske Ou va detwi yon nasyon, malgre li san fot?
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!”
Èske li menm, li pa t di mwen: ‘Li se sè mwen?’ Epi li menm, li te di: ‘Li se frè m.’ Nan entegrite kè m, ak inosans men m, mwen te fè sa.”
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.
Konsa, Bondye te di li nan rèv la: “Wi, Mwen konnen ke nan entegrite kè ou, ou te fè sa, e Mwen osi te anpeche ou pou ou pa t peche kont Mwen. Se pou sa Mwen pa t kite ou touche li.
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.”
Alò, pou sa, remèt madanm a nonm sa a. Paske se yon pwofèt ke li ye. Li va priye pou ou e ou va viv. Men si ou pa remèt li, konnen ke ou va anverite mouri, ou menm avèk tout moun sa yo ki pou ou yo.”
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.
Konsa, Abimélec te leve granmmaten. Li te rele tout sèvitè li yo, e te di tout bagay sa yo pou yo tande. Mesye sa yo te gen gwo laperèz.
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!”
Alò, Abimélec te rele Abraham. Li te di li: “Kisa ou te fè nou? Epi kijan mwen te peche kont ou ke ou te pote sou mwen ak wayòm mwen yon gran peche? Ou te fè m bagay ou pa ta janm dwe fè.”:
10 Then Abimelech asked Abraham “What were you thinking when you did this?”
Epi Abimélec te di a Abraham: “Sak rive ou ki fè ou fè bagay sa a?”
11 “Well, I thought to myself, ‘Nobody respects God in this place. They'll kill me just to get my wife,’” Abraham replied.
Abraham te di: “Paske, mwen te reflechi ke asireman, pa gen lakrent Bondye nan plas sa a, e yo va touye mwen akoz madanm mwen.
12 “Anyway, she really is my sister, the daughter of my father but not my mother, and I married her.
Anplis de sa, vrèman li se sè mwen, fi a papa m, men pa fi a manman m, e li te vin madanm mwen.
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.’”
Lè li te rive ke Bondye te fè m vwayaje pou kite kay papa m, mwen te di li: ‘Men yon gras ke ou va fè m: tout kote nou ale, di pa mwen menm: ‘Li se frè m.’’”
14 Then Abimelech gave Abraham gifts of sheep, cattle, and male and female slaves, and returned his wife Sarah to him.
Konsa, Abimélec te pran mouton avèk bèf avèk sèvitè li yo, mal ak femèl. Li te bay yo a Abraham, e li te remèt madanm li, Sarah bay li.
15 Abimelech told him, “Look over my land. You can choose to live anywhere you like.”
Abimélec te di: “Byen gade, peyi mwen an devan ou. Etabli ou kote ou pito.”
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.”
A Sarah, li te di: “Byen gade, mwen te bay frè ou mil pyès an ajan. Veye byen, li se revandikasyon ou devan zye tout moun ki avèk ou. E devan tout, ke ou egzonore.”
17 Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, his wife, and his female slaves, so that they could have children again.
Abraham te priye a Bondye, e Bondye te geri Abimélec avèk madanm li, avèk mennaj li yo, pou yo te vin fè pitit.
18 For the Lord had made all the women unable to have children because Abraham's wife, Sarah, had been taken.
Paske SENYÈ a te fèmen vant yo a tout kay Abimélec la akoz Sarah, madanm Abraham nan.
