< 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.
Dia nifindra niala teo Abrahama nankany amin’ ny tany atsimo ka nitoetra teo anelanelan’ i Kadesy sy Sora ary nivahiny tao Gerara izy.
2 Abraham said about Sarah his wife, "She is my sister." Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
Ary hoy ny filazan’ i Abrahama an’ i Saraha vadiny: Anabaviko izy; dia naniraka Abimeleka, mpanjakan’ i Gerara, nampaka an’ i Saraha.
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."
Fa Andriamanitra nankeo amin’ i Abimeleka, tamin’ ny nofy nony alina, ka nanao taminy hoe: Indro, fa ho faty ianao noho ny vehivavy izay nalainao, fa vadin’ olona izy.
4 Now Abimelech had not come near her. He said, "Lord, will you kill even a righteous nation?
Fa Abimeleka anefa tsy mbola nanakaiky azy, ka hoy izy: Tompo ô, hovonoinao koa va izay firenena marina?
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."
Tsy ralehilahy va no nilaza tamiko hoe: Anabaviko izy? ary ravahivavy koa nanao hoe: Anadahiko izy; koa tamin’ ny fahatsoran’ ny foko sy ny fahadiovan’ ny tanako no nanaovako izany.
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.
Ary hoy Andriamanitra taminy tamin’ ny nofy: Eny ary, fantatro ihany fa tamin’ ny fahatsoran’ ny fonao no nanaovanao izany; ary Izaho kosa dia niaro anao mba tsy hanota amiko; koa izany no tsy namelako anao hanendry azy.
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."
Ary ankehitriny avereno ny vadin-dralehilahy, fa mpaminany izy ka hifona ho anao, dia ho velona ianao; fa raha tsy averinao izy, aoka ho fantatrao fa ho faty tokoa ianao, dia ianao mbamin’ izay rehetra mety ho anao.
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.
Dia nifoha maraina koa Abimeleka ka niantso ny mpanompony rehetra ary nanambara izany rehetra izany teo anatrehany; ka dia raiki-tahotra indrindra ny olona.
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."
Ary Abimeleka dia nampaka an’ i Abrahama ka nanao taminy hoe: Inona izao nataonao taminay izao? ary inona izao ratsy nataoko taminao izao no dia nahatonga heloka lehibe tamiko sy tamin’ ny fanjakako ianao? zavatra izay tsy tokony hatao no nataonao tamiko.
10 Abimelech said to Abraham, "What were you thinking, to do this thing?"
Ary hoy koa Abimeleka tamin’ i Abrahama: Inona no hitanao, no nanao izany zavatra izany ianao?
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.'
Dia hoy Abrahama: Satria hoy izaho: Tsy misy fahatahorana an’ Andriamanitra tokoa amin’ ity tany ity, ka hovonoin’ ny olona aho noho ny amin’ ny vadiko.
12 Besides, she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
Nefa anabaviko ihany tokoa izy, satria zanakavavin’ ny raiko, fa tsy mba zanakavavin’ ny reniko; ka dia nanambady azy aho.
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."'"
Ary raha nampifindrafindra ahy hiala tamin’ ny tranon’ ny raiko Andriamanitra, dia hoy izaho tamin’ ny vadiko: Izao no soa hataonao amiko any amin’ izay tany rehetra halehantsika dia lazao aho hoe: Anadahiko izy.
14 Abimelech took sheep and cattle, male servants and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored Sarah, his wife, to him.
Ary Abimeleka naka ondry sy omby sy ankizilahy ary ankizivavy, ka nomeny an’ i Abrahama ireny; ary Saraha vadiny dia naveriny teo aminy.
15 Abimelech said, "Look, my land is before you. Dwell where it pleases you."
Ary hoy Abimeleka: Indro, eo anoloanao ny taniko; mitoera eo amin’ izay tianao.
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."
Ary hoy kosa izy tamin’ i Saraha: Indro, efa nomeko sekely volafotsy arivo ny anadahinao; indro, ho fanampena-maso aminao izany, dia amin’ izay rehetra momba anao: ka dia efa nahazo ny rariny ianao ny amin’ izany rehetra izany.
17 Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his female servants, and they bore children.
Ary Abrahama dia nifona tamin’ Andriamanitra; ary Andriamanitra nahasitrana an’ i Abimeleka sy ny vadiny mbamin’ ny mpanompovaviny; dia niteraka izy ireo.
18 For God had made every woman infertile in the household of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.
Fa Jehovah efa nahamomba tokoa ny vehivavy rehetra tamin’ ny ankohonan’ i Abimeleka noho ny amin’ i Saraha, vadin’ i Abrahama.
