Genesis 20
1 Afterward Abraham departed thence toward the South countrey and dwelled betweene Cadesh and Shur, and soiourned in Gerar.
Na rĩrĩ, Iburahĩmu nĩoimire kũu aarĩ, agĩthiĩ mwena wa Negevu, na agĩtũũra gatagatĩ ga Kadeshi na Shuri. Gwa kahinda nĩatũũrire Gerari
2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister. Then Abimelech King of Gerar sent and tooke Sarah.
na arĩ kũu Iburahĩmu oigaga atĩrĩ ha ũhoro wa mũtumia wake Sara, “Ũyũ nĩ mwarĩ wa baba.” Tondũ ũcio Abimeleku mũthamaki wa Gerari agĩtũmanĩra Sara na akĩmuoya.
3 But God came to Abimelech in a dreame by night, and said to him, Beholde, thou art but dead, because of the woman, which thou hast taken: for she is a mans wife.
No rĩrĩ, Ngai akiumĩrĩra Abimeleku ũtukũ na kĩroto, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee-rĩ, no ta ũkuĩte tondũ mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio woete nĩ mũtumia wene.”
4 (Notwithstanding Abimelech had not yet come neere her) And he said, Lord, wilt thou slay euen the righteous nation?
No Abimeleku ndaakoretwo akuhĩrĩirie Sara, nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, no wanange rũrĩrĩ rũtehĩtie?
5 Said not he vnto me, She is my sister? yea, and she her selfe said, He is my brother: with an vpright minde, and innocent handes haue I done this.
Githĩ ti we wanjĩĩrire, ‘Ũyũ nĩ mwarĩ wa baba?’ Na ningĩ o nake Sara githĩ ndoigire atĩrĩ, ‘Ũyũ nĩ mũrũ wa baba?’ Njĩkĩte ũndũ ũcio na ũrũngĩrĩru wa ngoro na moko matarĩ ũcuuke.”
6 And God saide vnto him by a dreame, I knowe that thou diddest this euen with an vpright minde, and I kept thee also that thou shouldest not sinne against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touche her.
Ningĩ Ngai akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ kĩroto-inĩ, “Ĩĩ, nĩnjũũĩ ũrekĩte ũguo na ũrũngĩrĩru wa ngoro, na nĩkĩo ndĩrakũgiririe ũnjĩhĩrie. Nĩkĩo itanareka ũmũhutie.
7 Now then deliuer the man his wife againe: for he is a Prophet, and he shall pray for thee that thou mayest liue: but if thou deliuer her not againe, be sure that thou shalt die the death, thou, and all that thou hast.
Rĩu-rĩ, cookeria mũndũ ũcio mũtumia wake, nĩgũkorwo nĩ mũnabii, nake nĩegũkũhooera, na nĩũgũtũũra muoyo. No waga kũmũcookia-rĩ, ũmenye ti-itherũ wee nĩũgũkua, na andũ aku othe nĩmegũkua.”
8 Then Abimelech rising vp early in ye morning, called all his seruants, and tolde all these things vnto them, and the men were sore afraid.
Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ rũciinĩ tene, Abimeleku agĩtũmanĩra anene ake othe, na aarĩkia kũmeera maũndũ marĩa mothe meekĩkĩte, andũ acio magĩĩtigĩra mũno.
9 Afterward Abimelech called Abraham, and said vnto him, What hast thou done vnto vs? and what haue I offeded thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdome this great sinne? thou hast done things vnto me that ought not to be done.
Abimeleku agĩcooka agĩĩta Iburahĩmu na akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ atĩa ũguo ũtwĩkĩte? Nĩ atĩa ngwĩhĩirie, nĩguo ũndeherere niĩ na ũthamaki wakwa ũũru mũnene ũguo? Ũnjĩkĩte maũndũ mataagĩrĩire gwĩkwo.”
10 So Abimelech said vnto Abraham, What sawest thou that thou hast done this thing?
Ningĩ Abimeleku akĩũria Iburahĩmu atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũmire wĩke ũguo?”
11 Then Abraham answered, Because I thought thus, Surely the feare of God is not in this place, and they will slay me for my wiues sake.
Iburahĩmu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndeĩrire atĩrĩ, ‘Kũndũ gũkũ andũ matiĩtigĩrĩte Ngai, na nĩmekũnjũraga nĩ ũndũ wa mũtumia wakwa.’
12 Yet in very deede she is my sister: for she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother, and she is my wife.
O na kũrĩ ũguo, ti-itherũ nĩ mwarĩ wa-baba, mũirĩtu wa baba; no tũtirĩ a nyina ũmwe, nĩkĩo aatuĩkire mũtumia wakwa.
13 Nowe when God caused me to wander out of my fathers house, I said then to her, This is thy kindnes that thou shalt shewe vnto me in all places where we come, Say thou of me, He is my brother.
Na rĩrĩa Ngai aandutire kuuma nyũmba-inĩ ya baba thiĩ ngorũũrage, ndeerire mũtumia wakwa atĩrĩ, ‘Ũũ nĩguo ũrĩnyonagia wendo waku: Kũrĩa guothe tũrĩthiiaga, uugage atĩrĩ ũhoro-inĩ ũnjĩgiĩ, “Ũyũ nĩ mũrũ wa baba.”’”
14 Then tooke Abimelech sheepe and beeues, and men seruants, and women seruants, and gaue them vnto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
Iburahĩmu aarĩkia kwaria, Abimeleku akĩruta ngʼondu na ngʼombe, na ngombo cia arũme na cia andũ-a-nja, na agĩcihe Iburahĩmu, na akĩmũcookeria Sara mũtumia wake.
15 And Abimelech saide, Beholde, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.
Ningĩ Abimeleku akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Bũrũri wakwa ũrĩ mbere yaku; tũũra harĩa hothe ũngĩenda.”
16 Likewise to Sarah he said, Beholde, I haue giuen thy brother a thousand pieces of siluer: behold, he is the vaile of thine eyes to all that are with thee, and to all others: and she was thus reproued.
Nake Abimeleku akĩĩra Sara atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũhe mũrũ-wa-thoguo cekeri 1,000 cia betha ituĩke cia kũrĩhĩria ihĩtia rĩrĩa ũhĩtĩirio mbere ya andũ aya othe mũrĩ nao; we ndũrĩ ũũru wĩkĩte.”
17 Then Abraham prayed vnto God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his women seruants: and they bare children.
Nake Iburahĩmu akĩhooya Ngai, nake Ngai akĩhonia Abimeleku, na mũtumia wake, na ngombo ciake cia airĩtu nĩguo mahote gũciara ciana rĩngĩ,
18 For the Lord had shut vp euery wombe of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abrahams wife.
nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩahingĩte nda cia andũ-a-nja othe a nyũmba ya Abimeleku, makaaga kũgĩa ciana, nĩ ũndũ wa Abimeleku kuoya Sara mũtumia wa Iburahĩmu.
