< Genesis 20 >

1 And he set out from there Abraham [the] land of towards the Negev and he dwelt between Kadesh and between Shur and he sojourned in Gerar.
Ugbu a, Ebraham sitere nʼebe ahụ bilie gaa na mpaghara Negev biri nʼebe dị nʼagbata Kadesh na Shua. Ọ nọrọ nʼobodo Gera nwa oge nta.
2 And he said Abraham concerning Sarah wife his [is] sister my she and he sent Abimelech [the] king of Gerar and he took Sarah.
Nʼebe ahụ, Ebraham kwuru maka Sera, nwunye ya, sị “Ọ bụ nwanne m nwanyị.” Abimelek, eze Gera, ziri ozi kpọrọ Sera.
3 And he came God to Abimelech in a dream the night and he said to him here you [are] about to die on the woman whom you have taken and she [is] married of a husband.
Ma Chineke bịakwutere Abimelek na nrọ nʼanyasị, sị ya, “Onye nwụrụ anwụ ka ị bụ, nʼihi nwanyị nke ị kpọọrọ, nwanyị a bụ onye nwere di.”
4 And Abimelech not he had drawn near to her and he said O Lord ¿ a nation also righteous will you kill.
Ma Abimelek abịabeghị Sera nso, ya mere o ji sị, “Onyenwe m, ị ga-ebibi mba aka ya dị ọcha?
5 ¿ Not he did he say to me [is] sister my she and she also she she said [is] brother my he in [the] integrity of heart my and in [the] innocence of hands my I have done this.
Ọ bụ na ya onwe ya agwaghị m sị, ‘ọ bụ nwanne m nwanyị,’ nke nwanyị nʼonwe ya, ekwuokwa sị, ‘Nwanne m nwoke ka ọ bụ?’ E ji m uche dị ọcha na aka dị ọcha mee ihe niile m mere.”
6 And he said to him God in a dream also I I know that in [the] integrity of heart your you did this and I have restrained also I you from sinning to me there-fore not I have permitted you to touch her.
Chineke zara ya sị, “Amaara m na i ji uche dị ọcha mee ihe i mere. Ọ bụ ya mere m ji gbochie gị imehie megide m. Ọ bụkwa ya mere m ji gbochie gị ịmetụ ya aka.
7 And therefore return [the] wife of the man for [is] a prophet he so he may pray for you and live and if not [are] you returning [her] know that certainly you will die you and all who [belong] to you.
Ugbu a, nyeghachi nwoke a nwunye ya. Nʼihi na ọ bụ onye amụma. Ọ ga-ekpere gị ekpere, ka ị ghara ịnwụ. Ma ọ bụrụ na i dughachịghị nwanyị a nye di ya, unu ga-anwụ, gị na ndị gị niile.”
8 And he rose early Abimelech in the morning and he summoned all servants his and he spoke all the words these in ears their and they were afraid the men exceedingly.
Ya mere, Abimelek biliri nʼisi ụtụtụ echi ya, kpọọ nzukọ nke ndịisi ozi ya niile, kọọrọ ha ihe mere. Ha tụrụ ụjọ nke ukwuu.
9 And he summoned Abimelech Abraham and he said to him what? have you done to us and what? have I sinned to you for you have brought on me and on kingdom my a sin great deeds which not they will be done you have done with me.
Emesịa, Abimelek kpọbatara Ebraham sị ya, “Gịnị bụ ihe a i mere anyị? Gịnị bụ ihe ọjọọ m mere i ji butere mụ na alaeze m ihe oke ikpe ọmụma dị otu a? Ihe a i mere m bụ ihe na-ekwesighị ekwesi.”
10 And he said Abimelech to Abraham what? did you see that you have done the thing this.
Abimelek jụrụ Ebraham sị, “Ọ bụ gịnị ka ị hụrụ i jiri mee omume dị otu a?”
11 And he said Abraham that I said certainly there not [is] [the] fear of God in the place this and they will kill me on [the] matter of wife my.
Ebraham zara ya, “Nʼihi na asịrị m nʼobi m, ‘Nʼezie, ịtụ egwu Chineke adịghị nʼebe a. Ha ga-egbu m nʼihi nwunye m.’
12 And also truly [is] sister my [the] daughter of father my she only not [the] daughter of mother my and she became of me a wife.
Ewezugakwa nke a, ọ bụ nwanna m nwanyị, nʼihi na otu nna mụrụ anyị, ma ọ bụghị otu nne, tupu ọ bụrụ nwunye m.
13 And it was just as they caused to wander me God from [the] household of father my and I said to her this [is] loyalty your which you will do with me to every place where we will go there towards say of me [is] brother my he.
Mgbe Chineke sitere nʼezinaụlọ nna m zipụ m ije ebe dị anya, agwara m ya sị, ‘Otu a ka ị ga-esi gosi na ị hụrụ m nʼanya, ebe ọbụla anyị gara, kwuo gbasara m, “Onye a bụ nwanne m.”’”
14 And he took Abimelech sheep and cattle and [male] servants and female servants and he gave [them] to Abraham and he restored to him Sarah wife his.
Mgbe ahụ, Abimelek dupụtara atụrụ, na ehi, na ndị ohu ndị ikom, na ndị ohu ndị inyom, nye Ebraham. Ọ kpọnyekwara ya Sera nwunye ya.
15 And he said Abimelech there! land my [is] before you in the [place] good in view your dwell.
Abimelek sịrị, “Lee nʼala m niile, birikwa nʼebe ọbụla masịrị gị.”
16 And to Sarah he said here! I give a thousand silver to brother your there! it for you [is] a covering of eyes to all who [are] with you and with everyone [you are] vindicated.
Mgbe ahụ, ọ sịrị Sera, “Ana m enye nwanne gị puku shekel ọlaọcha, ka ọ bụrụ ihe m ji kwụọ ụgwọ mmeso ọjọọ m mesoro gị. Ejikwa m ya na-egosi na ị bụ onye aka ya dị ọcha.”
17 And he prayed Abraham to God and he healed God Abimelech and wife his and female slaves his and they bore children.
Mgbe ahụ, Ebraham kpọkuru Chineke nʼekpere. Chineke gwọrọ Abimelek na nwunye ya, na ndị inyom ndị ohu ya niile, ka ha nwee ike ịmụta ụmụ ọzọ.
18 For certainly had shut up Yahweh behind every womb of [the] household of Abimelech on [the] matter of Sarah [the] wife of Abraham.
Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị mechiri akpanwa ndị inyom niile nọ nʼezinaụlọ Abimelek nʼihi Sera nwunye Ebraham.
