Genesis 20
1 Abraham left Mamre and moved southwest to the Negev desert and lived in a place named Gerar, between Kadesh and Shur.
Hiche akon chun Abraham chu Negev gam langa akichon in Kadesh le Shur kikah a phat chomkhat ana cheng in, chuin Gerar lang gei in aga cheng in ahi.
2 While he was there, he told people that Sarah was his sister, not his wife. Then King Abimelech of Gerar sent some of his men to Sarah, and they brought her to him to be his wife.
Abraham'in a inneipi Sarah chu “Ka sopinu ahi,” tin ana phong don in ahile Gerar lengpa Abimelech chun mi asol'in Sarah chu aga pui sah tai.
3 But God appeared to Abimelech in a dream during the night and said to him, “Listen to me! You are going to die because the woman you took is another man’s wife.”
Hinlah hiche jan chun Pathen in Abimelech amang in aki musah in hitin aseipeh'e, “Nangma hi athisa nahi ahi tai, ajeh chu numei na kipui hi aji nei numei ahi bouve!”
4 But Abimelech had not had sex [EUP] with her, so he said, “God, since the people of my nation and I am innocent; will you kill me?
Ahin Abimelech chun amanu (Sarah), chu akitimatpi loulai ahi, hijeh chun Abimelech in “Pakai nangin hiche imacha hechenlou nam hi na suhmang mong ding hitam?
5 He told me, ‘She is my sister,’ and she also said, ‘He is my brother.’ I did this with pure motives and I [SYN] have not done anything wrong yet.”
Hitia chu Abraham tah in jong ka sopinu ahi tia eina houlimpi hilou ham? Chule amanun jong ka sopipa ahi atia,” hijeh achu keiman ka lungthim a jong themmo na beihel a chule ka khut teni jong atheng ahi bouve ati.
6 God said to him in another dream, “Yes, I know that your motives were pure. That is why I truly prevented you from sinning against me. I did not allow you to have sex [EUP] with her.
Hijeh chun Pathen in amang in adonbut in, “Ahinai, keiman nangma hetthem louna ho chu ka henai. hiche ho jeh achu nangma keima douna a chonset a konna kasuh khen a chule hiche ho jeh a chu numeinu to kaki timat sah lou ahi.
7 Now, return this man’s wife to her husband, because he is (a prophet/a man who receives messages from me). He will pray for you, and you will (remain alive/not die). But if you do not return her to him, you will certainly die, and all the members of your household will also certainly die.”
Tun numeinu chu a inneipu komma soltan, amapa a inneipun taona naman peh ding ahi, ajeh chu ama themgao ahi, chuteng nangma nadam kit ding ahi tai. Ahin nahet ding khat chu a inneipi nanung peh doh louleh nangma chule na mite nathi gam diu ahi.
8 Early the next morning, Abimelech summoned all his officials, and told them everything that had happened. When they heard that [MTY], his men were very afraid [that God would punish them].
Hijeh chun Abimelech jong jingkah matah in a kithu doh in chuin asoh ho jouse gang tah in akou khom tan, chuin Abimelech in thusoh jouse chu asohte ho lah achun aseiyin tijat na adim tauve.
9 Abimelech then summoned Abraham, and said to him, “You should not have done that to us [RHQ]! Did I do something wrong to you, with the result that you are causing me and the people in [MTY] my kingdom to be guilty of committing a great sin [RHQ]? You have done things to me that (should not be done/you should not have done)!”
Hichun Abimelech in Abraham chu akou vin ajah'a “Ipibol a hiti pia hi nei hung bol'u hitam? Itobang a nang douna a kana chonset hitam, hitia keile ka leng gam chunga chonset nasatah hi nahin pohlut ham? bol louhel ding thil nangman neibol khum ahi tai,” ati.
10 Abimelech asked Abraham, “What was your reason for doing this?”
Chuin Abimelech in Abraham komma aseiye, “Nang in ipi nabol na ham?”
11 Abraham replied, “I said that because I thought, ‘They certainly do not respect God in this place. If they don’t respect God, they will not respect relationships with others. [If I say she is my sister, they will try to pay me a bride price] to get her. But if I say she is my wife, they will kill me to get her.’
Abraham'in adonbut in, “Hiche munhi Pathen ginglou mihem tamna mun ahi tin kagel in, ka loinu chu ka sopinu ahi kiti leh ama nu jeh a chu eitha lou diu ham kati ahi.”
12 Besides, she really [can be considered] my sister, because she is the daughter of my father, although she is not the daughter of my mother. She is the daughter of another woman, and I married her.
Adihtah asei dinga ka sopinu jong ahi nai, kapa eihing lhonpa khat ahin kanu lhon vang achom chom ahi. keiman kaji din kaki pui tai.
13 Later, when God told me to move away from my father’s household, I said to her, ‘This is the way you can show that you love me: Everywhere we go, say about me, “This is my brother.”’”
Pathen in eina kou doh chun kapa insung kanada lhah chun mun khat a patna mun chom a kana vale lhon lai chun kana seiye, thil ngaichat kaneiye katin, hoilang hi jongle iche le naho gamsunga na sopipa tin miho lah a neiphon doh ding ahi tin kana seipeh e.”
14 So Abimelech brought some sheep and cattle and male and female slaves and gave them to Abraham. And he returned his wife Sarah to him.
Hichun Abimelech in akelcha ho le kelngoi hon ho chule abong hon chule numei pasal asoh ho chu Abraham apetai. Abimelech in a inneipi Sarah jong chu anungsol peh kit tai.
15 And Abimelech said to him, “Look! All my land is here in front of you. Live in whatever place you like!”
Hichun Abimelech in adonbut in, “Dah'in lang vetem in kagam sung nang in nadei pen na mun a na chen thei ahiye.”
16 And he said to Sarah, “Look here, I am giving 1,000 pieces of silver to your brother. This is to insure that no one will [bring up this matter again and] say that I have done something wrong. [EUP, IDM]”
Abimelech in Sarah jah'a aseiye, “Ven keiman na sopipa dangka sang khat kapen, hiche sum hi na koma um chengse mitmu a asuh khel kihet them to na dinga kapeh ahi, chule japi angsunga nangma boina nanei tapoi,” ati.
17 Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech’s wife and his slave girls so that they could become pregnant.
Hichun Abraham'in Pathen kom a taona amang in Pathen in Abimelech asu dam tan, chule a inneipi le asoh numei ho jouse naobu jouse jong cha aneithei na diuvin aki hong gam tai.
18 This was because Yahweh had caused it to be impossible for any of the women in Abimelech’s household to bear children, because Abimelech had taken Abraham’s wife Sarah.
Ajeh chu Abraham jinu Sarah jeh a Pakaiyin Abimelech insunga numei naobu jouse ana kha tan peh ahiye.
