< Genesis 20 >

1 And Abraham journeyed from there toward the south country, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur and sojourned in Gerar.
Basa ma, Abraham lali mia Mamre, nisiꞌ rae Negeb seriꞌ ona, de leo sia kambo Kades no Sur taladꞌa na. Te nda dooꞌ sa ma, ana lali nisiꞌ kambo Gerar fai.
2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister; and Abimelech the king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.
Nafadꞌe atahori sia naa nae, Sara naa, eni odꞌi na. Naa de, Abimelek, mane Gerar a, denu atahori nara reu roꞌe Sara, fo ro e nisiꞌ ume panggat na.
3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou shalt die for the sake of the woman whom thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife.
Tetembaꞌ esa, Lamatualain natudꞌu Aon neu maneꞌ sia meit. Ana olaꞌ nae, “Ho mae mate, ia ena! Huu haꞌi mala atahori sao na.”
4 But Abimelech had not come near to her; and he said, Lord, wilt thou then slay also a righteous nation?
Te Abimelek naselu nae, “Lamatualain! Au nda feꞌe kois inaꞌ naa sa. Au nda sala sa. Abraham mana nae, inaꞌ naa eni odꞌi na. Ma inaꞌ naa o nataa taꞌo naa boe. Naa de, au denu reu haꞌi e no rala meuꞌ. Dadꞌi Lamatualain afiꞌ fee salaꞌ neu au!”
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 the innocency of my hands have I done this.
6 And God said unto him in the dream, Yea, I also well know that thou hast done this in the integrity of thy heart; therefore did I also withhold thee from sinning against me; for this cause I suffered thee not to touch her.
Lamatualain nataa nae, “Memaꞌ Au bubꞌuluꞌ rala ma ndos. Naa de, Au tao fo ho afiꞌ kois inaꞌ naa. Naa fo, ho nda tao salaꞌ neu Au saꞌ boe.
7 And now restore the man's wife, for he is a prophet, and he will pray for thee, that thou mayest live; and if thou restore her not, know thou, that thou shalt surety die, thou and all that are thine.
Ia naa, haitua baliꞌ inaꞌ naa neu sao na. Eni, Au mana ola-ola Ngga. De moꞌe fo ana hule-oꞌe fee nggo fo afiꞌ mate. Te mete ma ho nda fee baliꞌ inaꞌ naa sa, musunedꞌa malolole! Te ho mo basa atahori mara, mate a ia ena.”
8 And Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their hearing; and the men were greatly afraid.
Mbila fefetu ana naa, maneꞌ a noꞌe basa pagau nara, de dui meit na. Boe ma basa se ramatau.
9 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and in what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? deeds that ought not to be done thou hast done unto me.
Basa ma maneꞌ a noꞌe Abraham, de natane nae, “Au tao salaꞌ saa neu nggo, losa muꞌusususaꞌ au o manggarau nggara taꞌo ia? Ho afiꞌ tao dala deꞌulakaꞌ onaꞌ ia.
10 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou didst this thing?
Ho duꞌa saa, losa ho tao taꞌo ia?”
11 And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely there is no fear of God in this place, and they will slay me for the sake of my wife.
Abraham nataa nae, “Ama maneꞌ! Au duꞌa basa hei nda mihine Lamatualain sa. De neꞌo ruma rae tao risa au, fo haꞌi rala sao ngga.
12 And yet indeed she is my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
Memaꞌ au olaꞌ tebꞌe, ae eni, au odꞌi ngga. Hai ruꞌa nggi amaꞌ esa, te esaꞌ ina na. Naa de, hai esa sao esa.
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 show unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.
Dadꞌi leleꞌ Lamatualain denu hai misiꞌ mamana dodꞌooꞌ, au ufadꞌe sao ngga ae, ‘Mete ma hai mii sia bee-bꞌee, fo atahori ratane hai ruꞌa nggi neꞌebꞌue ma, mete ma ho sue au, naa mutaa mae hita odꞌi-aꞌa.’”
14 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and men-servants, and women-servants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored to him Sarah his wife.
Basa ma, mane Abimelek fee baliꞌ Sara. Ana olaꞌ no e nae, “Ia naa, au bae aꞌa ma doi fulaꞌ rifon esa, fo dadꞌi bukti oi, au nda tao salaꞌ saa-saa o nggo saꞌ boe. Naa fo, basa atahori rahine boe!” Maneꞌ a o olaꞌ no Abraham nae, “Abraham! Au nusa ngga ia, nenesoiꞌ soa neu nggo. Mae muu leo sia bee o, neu.” Ana fee Abraham sapi ma hiek-lombo. Ana o fee ate inaꞌ ma touꞌ boe.
15 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it is pleasing in thy eyes.
16 And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, this is to thee a covering of the eyes unto all that are with thee; and with all others thou canst thus justify thyself.
17 And Abraham prayed unto God; and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maid-servants, so that they could bear children.
Fefeu na, LAMATUALAIN ena mamana anaꞌ mia basa inaꞌ mana sia Abimelek nusa na, huu ana rambas nala Abraham sao na. Ana fee baliꞌ Sara nisiꞌ sao na ma, Abraham hule-oꞌe, de Lamatualain soi baliꞌ inaꞌ ra mamana ana nara. De ara bisa bꞌonggi seluꞌ fai.
18 For the Lord had fast closed up every womb of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.
