Genesis 20
1 And Abraham journeys from there toward the land of the south, and dwells between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourns 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 says concerning his wife Sarah, “She is my sister”; and Abimelech king of Gerar sends and takes 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 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.”
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 And Abimelech has not drawn near to her, and he says, “Lord, do you also slay a righteous nation?
Nzokande, Abimeleki apusanaki nanu te pembeni na ye. Agangaki: — Nkolo, okoboma penza ekolo ata soki esali na yango mabe te?
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.”
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 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;
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 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.”
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 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;
Na tongo-tongo, Abimeleki alamukaki mpe abengisaki basali na ye nyonso. Tango ayebisaki bango makambo oyo ekomelaki ye, babangaki makasi.
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.”
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 Abimelech also says to Abraham, “What have you seen that you have done this thing?”
Abimeleki atunaki Abrayami: — Makanisi nini ozalaki na yango mpo ete osala boye?
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;
Abrayami azongisaki: — Namilobelaki: « Solo, bato ya esika oyo batosaka Nzambe ata moke te mpe bakoboma ngai mpo na mwasi na ngai.
12 and also, she is truly my sister, daughter of my father, only not daughter of my mother, and she becomes 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 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.”
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 takes sheep and oxen, and servants and handmaids, and gives to Abraham, and sends back his wife Sarah to him;
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 says, “Behold, my land [is] before you, where it is good in your eyes, dwell”;
Abimeleki alobaki: « Mboka na ngai ezali liboso na yo, vanda na esika oyo olingi. »
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.
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 And Abraham prays to God, and God heals Abimelech and his wife, and his handmaids, and they bear:
Abrayami abondelaki Nzambe, mpe Nzambe abikisaki Abimeleki, mwasi na ye, mpe basi bawumbu na ye. Na nzela wana, bazwaki lisusu bana;
18 for YHWH restraining had restrained every womb 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.
