Genesis 20
1 And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.
Abrayami alongwaki na mboka wana mpo na kokende na etuka ya Negevi mpe avandaki na mboka oyo ezalaki kati ya Kadeshi mpe Shuri; sima na tango moke, akendeki kovanda na Gerari.
2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
Abrayami azalaki koloba kuna na tina na Sara, mwasi na ye: « Azali ndeko na ngai ya mwasi! » Yango wana Abimeleki, mokonzi ya Gerari, atindaki bato mpo na koluka Sara mpe akamataki ye na makasi.
3 But God 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.
Kasi na butu, Nzambe ayaki epai ya Abimeleki kati na ndoto mpe alobaki na ye: « Okokufa mpo na mwasi oyo osili kozwa, pamba te azali mwasi ya libala. »
4 But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?
Nzokande, Abimeleki apusanaki nanu te pembeni na ye. Agangaki: — Nkolo, okoboma penza ekolo ata soki esali na yango mabe te?
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.
Ezali mobali na ye moko nde alobaki: « Azali ndeko na ngai ya mwasi; » mpe ye moko andimaki: « Azali ndeko na ngai ya mobali. » Nasali yango na motema sembo mpe na maboko ezanga mbindo.
6 And God 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.
Nzambe alobaki na ye na ndoto: — Solo, nayebi ete osali yango na motema sembo. Yango wana nabatelaki yo mpo ete osala lisumu te epai na Ngai, mpe natikaki te ete osimba ye.
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.
Sik’oyo, zongisa mwasi yango epai ya mobali na ye mpo ete azali mosakoli. Akobondela mpo na yo mpe okokufa te. Soki ozongisi ye te, yeba ete okokufa, yo mpe bato na yo nyonso.
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.
Na tongo-tongo, Abimeleki alamukaki mpe abengisaki basali na ye nyonso. Tango ayebisaki bango makambo oyo ekomelaki ye, babangaki makasi.
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.
Abimeleki abengaki Abrayami mpe alobaki na ye: — Likambo nini osali biso, lisumu nini nasali yo mpo ete omemisa ngai mpe mokili na ngai ngambo ya monene boye? Osali ngai makambo oyo ekoki kosalema te.
10 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?
Abimeleki atunaki Abrayami: — Makanisi nini ozalaki na yango mpo ete osala boye?
11 And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife’s sake.
Abrayami azongisaki: — Namilobelaki: « Solo, bato ya esika oyo batosaka Nzambe ata moke te mpe bakoboma ngai mpo na mwasi na ngai.
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.
Lisusu, azali ya solo ndeko na ngai ya mwasi, mwana ya tata na ngai; kasi azali mwana ya mama na ngai te. Nzokande akoma mwasi na ngai. »
13 And it came to pass, when God 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.
Tango Nzambe alongolaki ngai na ndako ya tata na ngai mpo na kokende bipai na bipai, nayebisaki mwasi na ngai: « Tala bolamu oyo okosalela ngai: Bisika nyonso oyo tokokende, okolobaka na tina na ngai: ‹ Azali ndeko na ngai. › »
14 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
Boye Abimeleki azwaki bameme, bantaba, bangombe, basali ya mibali mpe ya basi, apesaki na Abrayami. Mpe azongiselaki ye mwasi na ye Sara.
15 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.
Abimeleki alobaki: « Mboka na ngai ezali liboso na yo, vanda na esika oyo olingi. »
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.
Abalukaki mpe alobaki lisusu epai na Sara: « Tala, napesi mbongo ya bibende, nkoto moko, epai ya ndeko na yo ya mobali. Ezali mpo na kozipa mabe oyo basali yo mpe bato nyonso oyo bazali elongo na yo; boye okomi sembo na nyonso. »
17 So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.
Abrayami abondelaki Nzambe, mpe Nzambe abikisaki Abimeleki, mwasi na ye, mpe basi bawumbu na ye. Na nzela wana, bazwaki lisusu bana;
18 For Yhwh had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham’s wife.
pamba te Yawe akangaki mabota kati na ndako mobimba ya Abimeleki likolo ya Sara, mwasi ya Abrayami.
