Genesis 20
1 Afterward Abraham departed thence toward the South countrey and dwelled betweene Cadesh and Shur, and soiourned in Gerar.
Dia nifindra niala teo Abrahama nankany amin’ ny tany atsimo ka nitoetra teo anelanelan’ i Kadesy sy Sora ary nivahiny tao Gerara izy.
2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister. Then Abimelech King of Gerar sent and tooke Sarah.
Ary hoy ny filazan’ i Abrahama an’ i Saraha vadiny: Anabaviko izy; dia naniraka Abimeleka, mpanjakan’ i Gerara, nampaka an’ i Saraha.
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.
Fa Andriamanitra nankeo amin’ i Abimeleka, tamin’ ny nofy nony alina, ka nanao taminy hoe: Indro, fa ho faty ianao noho ny vehivavy izay nalainao, fa vadin’ olona izy.
4 (Notwithstanding Abimelech had not yet come neere her) And he said, Lord, wilt thou slay euen the righteous nation?
Fa Abimeleka anefa tsy mbola nanakaiky azy, ka hoy izy: Tompo ô, hovonoinao koa va izay firenena marina?
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.
Tsy ralehilahy va no nilaza tamiko hoe: Anabaviko izy? ary ravahivavy koa nanao hoe: Anadahiko izy; koa tamin’ ny fahatsoran’ ny foko sy ny fahadiovan’ ny tanako no nanaovako izany.
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.
Ary hoy Andriamanitra taminy tamin’ ny nofy: Eny ary, fantatro ihany fa tamin’ ny fahatsoran’ ny fonao no nanaovanao izany; ary Izaho kosa dia niaro anao mba tsy hanota amiko; koa izany no tsy namelako anao hanendry azy.
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.
Ary ankehitriny avereno ny vadin-dralehilahy, fa mpaminany izy ka hifona ho anao, dia ho velona ianao; fa raha tsy averinao izy, aoka ho fantatrao fa ho faty tokoa ianao, dia ianao mbamin’ izay rehetra mety ho anao.
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.
Dia nifoha maraina koa Abimeleka ka niantso ny mpanompony rehetra ary nanambara izany rehetra izany teo anatrehany; ka dia raiki-tahotra indrindra ny olona.
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.
Ary Abimeleka dia nampaka an’ i Abrahama ka nanao taminy hoe: Inona izao nataonao taminay izao? ary inona izao ratsy nataoko taminao izao no dia nahatonga heloka lehibe tamiko sy tamin’ ny fanjakako ianao? zavatra izay tsy tokony hatao no nataonao tamiko.
10 So Abimelech said vnto Abraham, What sawest thou that thou hast done this thing?
Ary hoy koa Abimeleka tamin’ i Abrahama: Inona no hitanao, no nanao izany zavatra izany ianao?
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.
Dia hoy Abrahama: Satria hoy izaho: Tsy misy fahatahorana an’ Andriamanitra tokoa amin’ ity tany ity, ka hovonoin’ ny olona aho noho ny amin’ ny vadiko.
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.
Nefa anabaviko ihany tokoa izy, satria zanakavavin’ ny raiko, fa tsy mba zanakavavin’ ny reniko; ka dia nanambady azy aho.
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.
Ary raha nampifindrafindra ahy hiala tamin’ ny tranon’ ny raiko Andriamanitra, dia hoy izaho tamin’ ny vadiko: Izao no soa hataonao amiko any amin’ izay tany rehetra halehantsika dia lazao aho hoe: Anadahiko izy.
14 Then tooke Abimelech sheepe and beeues, and men seruants, and women seruants, and gaue them vnto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
Ary Abimeleka naka ondry sy omby sy ankizilahy ary ankizivavy, ka nomeny an’ i Abrahama ireny; ary Saraha vadiny dia naveriny teo aminy.
15 And Abimelech saide, Beholde, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.
Ary hoy Abimeleka: Indro, eo anoloanao ny taniko; mitoera eo amin’ izay tianao.
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.
Ary hoy kosa izy tamin’ i Saraha: Indro, efa nomeko sekely volafotsy arivo ny anadahinao; indro, ho fanampena-maso aminao izany, dia amin’ izay rehetra momba anao: ka dia efa nahazo ny rariny ianao ny amin’ izany rehetra izany.
17 Then Abraham prayed vnto God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his women seruants: and they bare children.
Ary Abrahama dia nifona tamin’ Andriamanitra; ary Andriamanitra nahasitrana an’ i Abimeleka sy ny vadiny mbamin’ ny mpanompovaviny; dia niteraka izy ireo.
18 For the Lord had shut vp euery wombe of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abrahams wife.
Fa Jehovah efa nahamomba tokoa ny vehivavy rehetra tamin’ ny ankohonan’ i Abimeleka noho ny amin’ i Saraha, vadin’ i Abrahama.
