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.
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 Abraham said about Sarah his wife, "She is my sister." Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
Abraham ni a yu Sarah hanelah ka tawncanu atipouh. Hahoi Gerar Siangpahrang Abimelek ni tami a patoun teh Sarah a la sak.
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."
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 Now Abimelech had not come near her. He said, "Lord, will you kill even a righteous nation?
Hatei, Abimelek ni ipkhai hoeh rah. Hahoi ahni ni kalan e miphun hai na thei han maw
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."
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 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.
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 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."
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 Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ear. The men were very scared.
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 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 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 said to Abraham, "What were you thinking, to do this thing?"
Abimelek ni Abraham koevah, Bang hno maw na hmu teh kai dawk hete hno na sak telah bout atipouh.
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.'
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 Besides, she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
Hothloilah ahni teh ka tawncanu katang doeh. Apa e canu doeh. Anu e canu nahoeh, hatei ka yu lahai ao.
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."'"
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 Abimelech took sheep and cattle, male servants and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored Sarah, his wife, 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 Abimelech said, "Look, my land is before you. Dwell where it pleases you."
Abimelek ni, Khenhaw! ka ram teh na hmalah ao, na ngainae pueng koe awm loe atipouh.
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 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 Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his female servants, and they bore children.
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 God had made every woman infertile in the household of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.
Abraham e a yu Sarah kecu dawk BAWIPA ni Abimelek imthung abuemlah carôe sak.
