Genesis 20
1 And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.
Ibulayimu bwe yava eyo n’atambula okwolekera Negevu, n’abeera wakati wa Kadesi ne Ssuuli; n’agenda mu Gerali.
2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
Ibulayimu n’ayogera ku Saala mukazi we nti, “Mwannyinaze.” Abimereki kabaka we Gerali n’atumya n’atwala Saala.
3 But Elohim came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife.
Naye Katonda n’ajja eri Abimereki mu kirooto ekiro n’amugamba nti, “Laba oli mufu, olw’omukazi gw’otutte kubanga muka musajja.”
4 But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, YHWH, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?
Naye Abimereki yali tanneebaka naye, n’alyoka agamba nti, “Onotta abantu abataliiko musango.
5 Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this.
Si yeyaŋŋamba nti, ‘Mwannyinaze?’ Era ne Saala n’aŋŋamba nti, ‘Mwannyina.’ Kino nkikoze mu mutima omutuukirivu n’emikono gyange tegiriiko musango.”
6 And Elohim said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.
Awo Katonda n’ayogera naye mu kirooto nti, “Ddala mmanyi nti okoze kino mu mutima omutuukirivu, era nze nakukuuma oleme okwonoona gye ndi; ne nkuziyiza okumukwatako.
7 Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.
Kale kaakano zzaayo mukazi w’omusajja, kubanga nnabbi, era anaakusabira, nawe on’oba mulamu. Naye bw’otomuzzeeyo, manya ng’ojja kufa, ggwe ne by’olina byonna.”
8 Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid.
Awo Abimereki n’agolokoka mu makya ennyo n’ayita abakungu be bonna n’abategeeza ebintu bino byonna; abasajja ne batya nnyo.
9 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done.
Awo Abimereki n’ayita Ibulayimu n’amugamba nti, “Otukoze ki? Era nsobi ki gye nkukoze, n’ondeetera nze n’obwakabaka bwange ekibi ekinene ekyenkana awo? By’onkoze tebisaana kukolebwa muntu.”
10 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?
Era Abimereki n’agamba Ibulayimu nti, “Wali olowooza ki okukola ekintu kino?”
11 And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of Elohim is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake.
Ibulayimu n’addamu nti, “Nakikola kubanga nalowooza nti mu kifo kino temuliimu kutya Katonda n’akamu, era balinzita olwa mukazi wange.
12 And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
Naze ebyo nga biri awo ddala mwannyinaze, muwala wa kitange, naye si muwala wa mmange; era yafuuka mukazi wange.
13 And it came to pass, when Elohim caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said unto her, This is thy kindness which thou shalt shew unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.
Katonda bwe yandeeta okuva mu nnyumba ya kitange, ne mugamba nti, ‘Eky’ekisa ky’oyinza okunkolera kye kino, buli kifo kye tutuukamu njogeraako nti ndi mwannyoko.’”
14 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
Awo Abimereki n’atwala endiga n’ente, abaweereza abasajja n’abaweereza abakazi, n’abiwa Ibulayimu, n’amuddiza Saala mukyala we.
15 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.
Era Abimereki n’amugamba nti, “Laba ensi yange eri mu maaso go, beera w’oyagala.”
16 And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved.
N’agamba ne Saala nti, “Laba mpadde mwannyoko ebitundu bya ffeeza lukumi, okukumalako ensonyi mu maaso gaabo bonna abali naawe.”
17 So Abraham prayed unto Elohim: and Elohim healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.
Awo Ibulayimu n’asabira Abimereki eri Katonda, ne Katonda n’awonya Abimereki era n’awonya ne mukazi we; n’abaweereza be abakazi ne balyoka bazaala abaana.
18 For YHWH had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
Kubanga Mukama yali aggalidde embuto z’ab’omu nnyumba y’Abimereki olwa Saala mukazi wa Ibulayimu.
