Genesis 20
1 And Abraham journeys from there toward the land of the south, and dwells between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourns in Gerar;
अब्राहाम त्यहाँबाट नेगेवको भूमितर्फ गए, र कादेश र शूरको बिचमा बसे । उनी गरारमा बसोबास गर्ने एक परदेशी थिए ।
2 and Abraham says concerning his wife Sarah, “She is my sister”; and Abimelech king of Gerar sends and takes Sarah.
अब्राहामले आफ्नी पत्नी साराको बारेमा यस्तो भनेका थिए, “यिनी मेरी बहिनी हुन् ।” यसैकारण गरारका राजा अबीमेलेकले सारालाई मानिसहरू पठाई आफूकहाँ ल्याए ।
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.”
तर परमप्रभु राती अबीमेलेकको सपनामा आउनुभयो, र तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “सुन्, तैँले आफ्नो साथमा ल्याएको स्त्रीको कारण तँ श्रापित भएको छस्, किनभने त्यो अरू कसैकी पत्नी हो ।”
4 And Abimelech has not drawn near to her, and he says, “Lord, do you also slay a righteous nation?
अबीमेलेक तिनको नजिक गएका थिएनन् र उनले भने, “परमप्रभु के तपाईंले धार्मिक जातिलाई पनि मार्नुहुन्छ र?
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.”
के त्यो आफैँले मलाई ‘यिनी मेरी बहिनी हुन्’ भनेर भनेको थिएन र? त्यस स्त्रीले पनि, ‘तिनी मेरा दाजु हुन्’ भनेर भनेकी थिई । मेरो हृदयको इमान्दारी र मेरा निर्दोष हातद्वारा मैले यो गेरको हुँ ।”
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;
त्यसपछि परमप्रभुले तिनलाई सपनामा भन्नुभयो, “हो, यो मलाई पनि थाहा छ, कि तैँले आफ्नो हृदयको इमान्दारीमा यो गरिस्, र मैले नै तँलाई मेरो विरूद्ध पाप गर्नबाट बचाएँ । यसैकारण मैले तँलाई त्यस स्त्रीलाई छुन दिइनँ ।
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.”
यसैकारण, त्यस मानिसकी पत्नीलाई फर्काइदे, किनभने त्यो एउटा अगमवक्ता हो । त्यसले तेरो निम्ति प्रार्थना गर्नेछ, र तँ बाँच्नेछस् । तर यदि तैँले त्यसलाई फर्काइनस् भने, यो थाहा गर्, कि तँ र तेरा सबै निश्चय नै मर्नेछन् ।”
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;
अबीमेलेक बिहानै उठे र आफ्ना सबै नोकरहरूलाई बोलाए । तिनले यी सबै कुरा ती मानिसहरूलाई बताए, र तिनीहरू धेरै डराए ।
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.”
त्यसपछि अबीमेलेकले अब्राहामलाई बोलाएर भने, “तिमीले यो हामीलाई के गर्यौ? मैले तिम्रो विरुद्धमा के पाप गरेको थिएँ जसको कारण तिमीले ममाथि र मेरो राज्यमाथि यति ठुलो पाप ल्यायौ? तिमीले मसित गर्न नहुने काम गर्यौ ।”
10 Abimelech also says to Abraham, “What have you seen that you have done this thing?”
अबीमेलेकले अब्राहामलाई भने, “के कुराले तिमीलाई यस्तो काम गर्न लगायो?”
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;
अब्राहामले भने, “किनभने यस ठाउँमा निश्चय नै परमप्रभुको कुनै भय छैन र तिनीहरूले मलाई मेरी पत्नीको कारणले मार्नेछन् भनी मैले विचार गरेँ ।
12 and also, she is truly my sister, daughter of my father, only not daughter of my mother, and she becomes my wife;
हुन त यिनी मेरो बुबाकी छोरी मेरी बहिनी हुन्, तर यिनी मेरी आमाकी छोरी होइनन्, र यिनी मेरी पत्नी भइन् ।
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.”
जब परमप्रभुले मलाई मेरो बुबाको घर त्यागेर एक ठाउँदेखि अर्को ठाउँ यात्रा गर्न लगाउनुभयो, मैले तिनलाई भनेँ, ‘तिमी मेरी पत्नी भएकी कारणले हामी जाने हरेक ठाउँमा, मेरो विषयमा “उनी मेरा दाजु हुन्” भन्ने बताएर तिमीले मेरो निम्ति विश्वसनीयता देखाउनू ।’”
14 And Abimelech takes sheep and oxen, and servants and handmaids, and gives to Abraham, and sends back his wife Sarah to him;
त्यसपछि अबीमेलेकले अब्राहामलाई भेडाहरू, गोरुहरू, र कमारा-कमारीहरू दिए । तिनले अब्राहामकी पत्नी सारालाई पनि उनीकहाँ फर्काइदिए ।
15 and Abimelech says, “Behold, my land [is] before you, where it is good in your eyes, dwell”;
अबीमेलेकले भने, “हेर, मेरो भूमि तिम्रै अगि छ । जहाँ तिमीलाई मनपर्छ त्यहीँ बस ।”
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.
सारालाई तिनले भने, “हेर, मैले तिम्रो दाजुलाई चाँदीका हजार सिक्काहरू दिएको छु । तिमीसँग भएका सबैका आँखामा तिम्रो विरुद्धमा भएका सबै दोष ढाक्न मैले यो गरेको हुँ, र सबैको अगि तिमीलाई पूर्ण रूपमा सही ठहराएको छु ।”
17 And Abraham prays to God, and God heals Abimelech and his wife, and his handmaids, and they bear:
त्यसपछि अब्राहामले परमप्रभुसँग प्रार्थना गरे, र उहाँले अबीमेलेक, तिनकी पत्नी, र तिनका कमारीहरूलाई निको पार्नुभयो र तिनीहरूले छोरीछोरी जन्माउन सके ।
18 for YHWH restraining had restrained every womb of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham’s wife.
किनभने अब्राहामकी पत्नी साराको कारण अबीमेलेकको घरानाका सबै स्त्रीलाई परमप्रभुले बाँझी बनाउनुभएको थियो ।
