Genesis 20
1 And Abraham journeys from there toward the land of the south, and dwells between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourns in Gerar;
Abraham teh hote hmuen koehoi akalah a cei teh, Kadesh kho hoi Shur kho rahak vah kho a sak teh Gerar kho dawk a roe.
2 and Abraham says concerning his wife Sarah, “She is my sister”; and Abimelech king of Gerar sends and takes Sarah.
Abraham ni a yu Sarah hanelah ka tawncanu atipouh. Hahoi Gerar Siangpahrang Abimelek ni tami a patoun teh Sarah a la sak.
3 And God comes to Abimelech in a dream of the night and says to him, “Behold, you [are] a dead man, because of the woman whom you have taken—and she married to a husband.”
Hatei, Cathut ni tangmin vah Abimelek koe a mang lahoi a tho teh, thai haw, na lae napui kecu dawk tami kadout patetlah doeh na o toe, bangkongtetpawiteh ahni teh ayâ yu doeh atipouh.
4 And Abimelech has not drawn near to her, and he says, “Lord, do you also slay a righteous nation?
Hatei, Abimelek ni ipkhai hoeh rah. Hahoi ahni ni kalan e miphun hai na thei han maw
5 Has he not himself said to me, She [is] my sister! And she, even she herself, said, He [is] my brother; in the integrity of my heart, and in the innocence of my hands, I have done this.”
Ama ni roeroe kai koevah, ka tawncanu ati nahoehmaw. A yu ni hai ka thangroi doeh ati tayaw, lungthin thoung lahoi, ka kut kathoungcalah hoi hete hno ka sak e doeh telah atipouh.
6 And God says to him in the dream, “Indeed, I have known that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I withhold you, even I, from sinning against Me, therefore I have not permitted you to come against her;
Cathut ni a mang lah vah, ahman doeh, lungthin kathoungcalah hoi hete hno na sak e doeh tie ka panue. Hatdawkvah kai ni hai kai tak dawk hnokathout sak hane ka pasoung hoeh. Hat dawk doeh ahni na tek hanelah ka pasoung hoeh.
7 and now send back the man’s wife, for he [is] inspired, and he prays for you, and you live; and if you do not send back, know that dying you die, you and all that you have.”
Hatdawkvah ayâ yu atu bout poe leih, bangkongtetpawiteh ahni teh profet doeh. Na ratoum pouh vaiteh na dam han. Hatei na poe hoehpawiteh, nang hoi na sannaw abuemlah, na due roeroe awh han atipouh.
8 And Abimelech rises early in the morning, and calls for all his servants, and speaks all these words in their ears; and the men fear exceedingly;
Hahoi Abimelek teh amom, a thaw, a sannaw pueng a kaw teh a thai e hnonaw pueng a dei pouh teh puenghoi a taki awh.
9 and Abimelech calls for Abraham and says to him, “What have you done to us? And what have I sinned against you, that you have brought on me, and on my kingdom, a great sin? Works which are not done you have done with me.”
Abimelek ni Abraham a kaw teh, kai dawk bang hno maw na sak, nang koe bangmaw ka payon teh, kai hoi kaie uknaeram koe kahawihoehe hno na pha sak. Sak hoeh hane kawi kai dawk na sak vaw atipouh.
10 Abimelech also says to Abraham, “What have you seen that you have done this thing?”
Abimelek ni Abraham koevah, Bang hno maw na hmu teh kai dawk hete hno na sak telah bout atipouh.
11 And Abraham says, “Because I said, Surely the fear of God is not in this place, and they have slain me for the sake of my wife;
Abraham ni hie kho dawk e taminaw teh Cathut ka taket awmhoeh vaiteh, ka yu kecu dawk kai na thei awh han doeh telah ka pouk dawk doeh atipouh.
12 and also, she is truly my sister, daughter of my father, only not daughter of my mother, and she becomes my wife;
Hothloilah ahni teh ka tawncanu katang doeh. Apa e canu doeh. Anu e canu nahoeh, hatei ka yu lahai ao.
13 and it comes to pass, when God has caused me to wander from my father’s house, that I say to her, This [is] your kindness which you do with me: at every place to where we come, say of me, He [is] my brother.”
Cathut ni apa im hoi na ceisak hane navah, na pha nah tangkuem koe ka thangroi doeh na ti pouh han telah ati dawk doeh atipouh.
14 And Abimelech takes sheep and oxen, and servants and handmaids, and gives to Abraham, and sends back his wife Sarah to him;
Abimelek ni tu hoi maitotannaw, sanpa hoi sannu naw a ceikhai teh Abraham a poe teh, a yu Sarah hai bout a poe.
15 and Abimelech says, “Behold, my land [is] before you, where it is good in your eyes, dwell”;
Abimelek ni, Khenhaw! ka ram teh na hmalah ao, na ngainae pueng koe awm loe atipouh.
16 and to Sarah he has said, “Behold, I have given one thousand pieces of silver to your brother; behold, it is to you a covering of eyes, to all who are with you”; and by all this she is reasoned with.
Sarah koevah, na thangroi koe tangka 1,000 touh ka poe toe. Nang hoi na huikonaw pueng hanelah minhmai sak lah ka poe e doeh atipouh.
17 And Abraham prays to God, and God heals Abimelech and his wife, and his handmaids, and they bear:
Hottelah Abraham ni Cathut koe a ratoum teh, Cathut ni Abimelek hoi a yu, a sannunaw a dam sak teh canaw hai bout a khe.
18 for YHWH restraining had restrained every womb of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham’s wife.
Abraham e a yu Sarah kecu dawk BAWIPA ni Abimelek imthung abuemlah carôe sak.
