Genesis 20
1 Abraham traveled from there toward the land of the Negev, and lived between Kadesh and Shur. He lived as a foreigner in Gerar.
Te phoeiah Abraham loh Negev kho la puen uh tih Kadesh neh Shur laklo ah kho a sak vaengkah Gerar ah bakuep.
2 Abraham said about Sarah his wife, "She is my sister." Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
Te vaengah Abraham loh a yuu Sarah te ka ngannu ni a ti dongah Gerar manghai Abimeleka tah tih Sarah tea loh.
3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, "Look, you are a dead man, because of the woman whom you have taken. For she is a man's wife."
Tedae Abimelek te khoyina mang ah Pathenloh a paan tih a taengah, “Rhukom tangtae hlang yuu tena rhawt dongah na duek coeng ne,” a ti nah.
4 Now Abimelech had not come near her. He said, "Lord, will you kill even a righteous nation?
Te dongah Abimelek loh anih te ben pawh. Tedae, “Boeipa namtom loh dueng cakhawna ngawn aya?
5 Did not he tell me, 'She is my sister?' She, even she herself, said, 'He is my brother.' In the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands have I done this."
Amah loh kai taengah, 'Anih ka ngannua ti tih he long khaw ka nganpa ni, ' a ti moenih a? Ka thinko thincaknah neh, ka kut cimcaihnah nen ni he khaw ka saii,” a ti nah.
6 God said to him in the dream, "Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also withheld you from sinning against me. Therefore I did not allow you to touch her.
Te dongah anih tea mang ah Pathen loh, “Ue hekah he nang loh thinko thincaknah nehna saii tila ka ming. Tedae anih taek sak ham nang kam paek pawt dongah kai taengah tholhkhui lamloh nang te kan tuem kan soem.
7 Now therefore, restore the man's wife. For he is a prophet, and he will pray for you, and you will live. If you do not restore her, know for sure that you will die, you, and all who are yours."
Tahaeah hlang yuute mael laeh. Anihte tonghma tih nang hama thangthui daengahnina hing eh. Na mael pawt atah na taengkah boeih neh namah khawna duek rhoe na duek ni tila ming laeh,” a ti nah.
8 Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ear. The men were very scared.
Te dongah Abimelekte mincang ah thoo tih a sal boeih tea khue. Te phoeiah hekah olka boeih he amih hna aha thui hatah hlang boeihloh a rhih uh.
9 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him, "What have you done to us? How have I sinned against you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You have done deeds to me that ought not to be done."
Abimelek loh Abraham tea khue tih, “Kaimih ham balaena saii, nang taengah metlam ka tholh tih kamah so neh ka ram ah tholh muep nan khuen. Kai taengahna saii bibi tea saii uh noek moenih,” a ti nah.
10 Abimelech said to Abraham, "What were you thinking, to do this thing?"
Te dongah Abimelek loh Abraham te, “Hekah dumlai hena saii vaengah balaena hmuh,” a ti nah.
11 Abraham said, "Because I thought, 'Surely the fear of God is not in this place, so they will kill me because of my wife.'
Tedae Abraham loh, “Hekah hmuen ah Pathen hinyahnah om pawt tih ka yuu kah olka ah kai n'ngawn uh ve ka ti dongah ni.
12 Besides, she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
Tedae anihte a pa canu ka ngannu rhep ni. A nu canu pawt dae ka yuu lam khaw om ngawn.
13 It happened, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said to her, 'This is your kindness which you shall show to me. Everywhere that we go, say of me, "He is my brother."'"
Te dongah a pa im lamkah Pathen loh kai kho m'hmang sak vaengah anih taengah, 'Nang kah sitlohnah he kai taengahna saii ham atah mekah hmuen boeih ah m'pha cakhaw, 'Anih he ka nganpa ni, 'ti ne tila kamah loh pahoi ka ti nah coeng,” a ti nah.
14 Abimelech took sheep and cattle, male servants and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored Sarah, his wife, to him.
Te vaengah Abimelek loh tu neh saelhung khaw, sal tongpa neh salnu khawa lohtih Abraham tea paek. A yuu Sarah te khaw amah taengaha mael.
15 Abimelech said, "Look, my land is before you. Dwell where it pleases you."
Te phoeiah Abimelek loh, “Na mikhmuh kah ka khohmuen aka om he namah mik ah then na ti bangla khosa ngawn ne,” a ti nah.
16 To Sarah he said, "Look, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver. Look, it is to cover the offense against you before all who are with you. In front of all you are vindicated."
Sarah taengah khaw, “Na nganpa taengah tangka thawngkhat nang ham hmaithennah ka paek coeng tih namah taengkah aka om boeih neh hlang boeih hmaiahna tang uh coeng he,” a ti nah.
17 Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his female servants, and they bore children.
Tedae Abrahamte Pathen taengah thangthui. Pathen loh Abimelek khaw, a yuu khaw, a salnu rhoek khaw a hoeih sak dongah ca a sak uh.
18 For God had made every woman infertile in the household of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.
Abraham yuu Sarah kah lai ah Abimelek im kah hlang bung boeihte BOEIPAloh a khaih rhoela a khaih pah.
