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.
Abraram kite Manmre, li pati, li ale Negèv, li rete ant Kadès ak Chour kote li moute kay li. Pandan tout tan li t'ap viv nan peyi Gera a,
2 Abraham said about Sarah his wife, "She is my sister." Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
li t'ap di se sè li Sara te ye. Se konsa, Abimelèk, wa peyi Gera a, fè yo mennen Sara ba li.
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."
Men pandan lannwit, Abimelèk fè yon rèv, li wè Bondye parèt devan li. Bondye di l'. Gade non, monchè. Ou pral mouri tande, paske Sara se yon madan marye.
4 Now Abimelech had not come near her. He said, "Lord, will you kill even a righteous nation?
Men, Abimelèk pa t' gen tan kouche avè Sara. Li di. Mèt, èske w'ap kite yon pèp inonsan peri?
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."
Se Abraram ki di m' se sè li Sara ye. Sara pou tèt pa l' di m' se frè li Abraram ye. Mwen fè sa m' fè a san ankenn move lide. Mwen konnen mwen pa fè anyen ki mal.
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.
Bondye reponn li nan rèv la. Wi. Mwen konnen ou fè sa ou fè a san ankenn move lide dèyè tèt ou. Se poutèt sa mwen pa kite ou fè peche sa a kont mwen. Mwen pa kite ou fè madanm lan anyen.
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."
Men sa pou ou fè: renmèt nonm lan madanm li. Se yon pwofèt Bondye li ye. La lapriyè pou ou pou ou pa mouri. Men, si ou pa renmèt li, mwen tout di ou nou pral mouri, ou menm ansanm ak tout fanmi ou.
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.
Nan maten, bonè bonè, Abimelèk rele tout domestik li yo, li rakonte yo tout bagay. Yo tout yo te pè anpil.
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."
Lèfini, Abimelèk rele Abraram, li di l'. Kisa ou fè nou konsa? Kisa m' fè ou pou ou ta lakòz yon gwo malè konsa tonbe sou mwen ak sou peyi a? Sa ou fè nou la a, se bagay moun pa gen dwa fè.
10 Abimelech said to Abraham, "What were you thinking, to do this thing?"
Abimelèk di Abraram ankò. Poukisa ou fè sa ou fè a?
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.'
Abraram reponn li. Mwen te di nan kè m' pa gen moun ki gen krentif pou Bondye bò isit la. Mwen tè kwè yo ta ka touye m' poutèt madanm mwen.
12 Besides, she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
Men, se vre wi, se sè m' li ye. Nou menm papa, men nou pa menm manman. Epi se madanm mwen li ye tou.
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."'"
Se konsa, lè Bondye fè m' kite lakay papa m' pou m' al nan peyi etranje yo, mwen di Sara: m'ap mande ou pou rann mwen yon sèvis? Si ou renmen m' vre, tanpri, kote ou pase, se pou di se frè ou mwen ye.
14 Abimelech took sheep and cattle, male servants and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored Sarah, his wife, to him.
Lè sa a, Abimelèk renmèt Sara bay Abraram. Anmenmtan li ba li mouton, bèf ak domestik, fanm kou gason, pou sèvi l'.
15 Abimelech said, "Look, my land is before you. Dwell where it pleases you."
Li di Abraram. Gade! tout peyi m' lan devan ou. Rete kote ki fè ou plezi.
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."
Epi li di Sara. Mwen bay frè ou la mil (1.000) pyès lajan. Se pou sa ka fè moun ki la avè ou yo bliye sak te rive ou. Konsa, tout moun va konnen ou pa t' fè anyen ki mal.
17 Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his female servants, and they bore children.
Abraram lapriyè pou Abimelèk, epi Bondye geri li. Bondye geri madanm li tout ansanm ak medam k'ap travay lakay li pou yo kapab fè pitit ankò.
18 For God had made every woman infertile in the household of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.
Poutèt sa ki te rive Sara, madanm Abraram lan, Seyè a te fè tout fanm lakay Abimelèk pa t' kapab fè pitit.
