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.
Na ka turia atu e Aperahama i reira ki te whenua i te tonga, a ka noho ki waenganui o Karehe, o Huru, a ka noho ia ki Kerara, he noho manene.
2 Abraham said about Sarah his wife, "She is my sister." Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
Na ko Hara, ko tana wahine, ka kiia e Aperahama, Ko toku tuahine ia: a ka tonoa mai e Apimereke kingi o Kerara, tangohia atu ana a Hara.
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."
Na ka puta moemoea mai te Atua ki a Apimereke i te po, ka mea ki a ia, Nana, ka mate koe mo te wahine i tangohia nei i koe; he wahine hoki ia na te tane.
4 Now Abimelech had not come near her. He said, "Lord, will you kill even a righteous nation?
Kahore ano ia a Apimereke kia tata noa ki a ia; a ka mea ia, E te Ariki, ka whakamate ano ranei koe i te iwi tika?
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."
Kahore ranei ia i mea mai ki ahau, Ko toku tuahine ia? me te wahine hoki, i mea mai ano ia, Ko toku tungane ia: he tapatahi toku ngakau, he harakore hoki oku ringa i mea ai ahau i tenei mea.
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.
A ka korero moemoea mai te Atua ki a ia, Ae ra, i mohio tonu ahau he tapatahi tou ngakau i a koe i mea ai i tenei mea; i pupuri hoki ahau i a koe kei hara koe ki ahau; na reira koe te tukua ai e ahau kia pa ki a ia.
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."
Na, whakahokia akuanei te wahine a tena tangata; no te mea hoki he poropiti ia, a mana e inoi mou, a ka ora koe: ki te kore e whakahokia e koe, kia mohio koe, ka tino mate koe, koutou ko nga mea katoa i a koe.
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.
Na i te ata tu ka maranga a Apimereke, karangatia ana ana tangata katoa, a korerotia ana enei mea katoa ki o ratou taringa: a nui atu te wehi o aua tangata.
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."
Na ka karanga a Apimereke ki a Aperahama, ka mea ki a ia, He mahi aha tenei au ki a matou? a he aha toku hara ki a koe, i takina mai ai e koe he hara nui ki ahau, ki toku kingitanga ano hoki? kua meinga e koe etahi mea ki ahau kahore nei i tika k ia mahia.
10 Abimelech said to Abraham, "What were you thinking, to do this thing?"
A ka mea ano a Apimereke ki a Aperahama, I kite koe i te aha i meatia ai tenei mea e koe?
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.'
Na ka mea a Aperahama, I mahara hoki ahau, He pono, kahore te wehi o te Atua i tenei wahi; a ka patua ahau e ratou mo taku wahine.
12 Besides, she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
He pono ano ia he tuahine ia noku, ko te tamahine a toku papa, otiia ehara i te tamahine na toku whaea; a ka noho hei wahine maku:
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."'"
A, i ta te Atua meatanga i ahau kia kopiko haere ake i te whare o toku papa, ka mea ahau ki a ia, Ko tou aroha tenei, hei whakaputa mau ki ahau: hei nga wahi katoa e tae ai taua, korero moku, Ko toku tungane ia.
14 Abimelech took sheep and cattle, male servants and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored Sarah, his wife, to him.
Na ka tikina e Apimereke he hipi, he kau, he pononga tane, he pononga wahine, a hoatu ana e ia ki a Aperahama, a whakahokia ana e ia a Hara, tana wahine, ki a ia.
15 Abimelech said, "Look, my land is before you. Dwell where it pleases you."
A ka mea a Apimereke, Nana, kei tou aroaro toku whenua: nohoia e koe te wahi e pai ana ki tau titiro.
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."
A ki a Hara i mea ia, Nana, kua hoatu e ahua ki tou tungane kotahi mano nga hiriwa: na, hei uhi tena mo ou kanohi ki nga tangata katoa i a koe; hei tohu hoki mo tou tika i katoa.
17 Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his female servants, and they bore children.
Katahi ka inoi a Aperahama ki te Atua: na kua ora i te Atua a Apimereke, ratou ko tana wahine, ko ana pononga wahine; a ka whanau tamariki ratou.
18 For God had made every woman infertile in the household of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.
Kua tutakina rawatia hoki e Ihowa nga kopu katoa o te whare o Apimereke, mo Hara, mo te wahine a Aperahama.
