Genesis 20
1 And Abraham journeyed from there toward the south country, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.
Pea naʻe fononga ʻa ʻEpalahame mei ai, ki he fonua ʻi he feituʻu tonga, pea nofo ia ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Ketesi mo Sua, pea ʻāunofo ia ʻi Kela.
2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻEpalahame [ʻi heʻene lau ]ki hono uaifi ko Sela, “Ko hoku tuofefine ia:” pea fekauʻi ʻe ʻApimeleki, ko e tuʻi ʻo Kela, ʻo ne ʻave ʻa Sela.
3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, on account of the woman whom thou hast taken; for she is a man’s wife.
Ka naʻe hā mai ʻae ʻOtua kia ʻApimeleki ʻi he misi ʻi he pō, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Vakai ko e tangata mate koe, koeʻuhi ko e fefine kuo ke toʻo, he ko e uaifi ia ʻo ha tangata.”
4 But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou also slay a righteous nation?
Ka naʻe teʻeki ai ofi ʻa ʻApimeleki kiate ia: pea pehē ʻe ia, “E ʻEiki, te ke fakaʻauha foki ʻae puleʻanga māʻoniʻoni?
5 Said he not to me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this.
ʻIkai naʻa ne pehē mai kiate au, ‘Ko hoku tuofefine ia?’ Mo e fefine, naʻe pehē ʻe ia, ‘Ko hoku tuongaʻane ia;’ ʻi he totonu ʻa hoku loto, mo e māʻoniʻoni ʻa hoku nima kuo u fai ʻae meʻa ni.”
6 And God said to him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore I allowed thee not to touch her.
Pea pehē ʻe he ʻOtua kiate ia ʻi he misi, “ʻIo, ʻoku ou ʻilo naʻa ke fai ia ʻi he anga totonu, he naʻaku taʻofi koe foki ke ʻoua naʻa ke fai hala kiate au; ko ia naʻe ʻikai te u tuku koe ke ke ala kiate ia.
7 Now therefore restore to the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou shalt not restore her, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.
Pea ko eni, ke ke toe ʻatu ki he tangata hono uaifi; he ko e palōfita ia, pea te ne hūfia koe, pea te ke moʻui: pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke toe ʻatu ia, ke ke ʻilo ko e moʻoni te ke mate, ʻa koe mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻoʻou.”
8 Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were greatly afraid.
Ko ia naʻe tuʻu hengihengi hake ai ʻa ʻApimeleki, ʻo ne ui ʻene kau nofoʻanga kotoa pē, ʻo ne fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē; pea naʻa nau manavahē lahi.
9 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him, What hast thou done to us? and how have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds to me that ought not to be done.
Pea fekau ʻe ʻApimeleki ke haʻu ʻa ʻEpalahame, pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā eni kuo ke fai kiate kimautolu? Pea ko e hā ha kovi naʻaku fai kiate koe, ke ke ʻomi ai kiate au mo hoku puleʻanga ʻae hala lahi ni? Kuo ke fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa kiate au ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai lelei ke fai.”
10 And Abimelech said to Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?
Pea fehuʻi ʻe ʻApimeleki kia ʻEpalahame ʻo ne pehē, ‘Ko e hā ʻae meʻa naʻe hā kiate koe, koeʻuhi ke ke fai ai ʻae meʻa ni?’
11 And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife’s sake.
Pea talaange ʻe ʻEpalahame, “Naʻaku pehē ʻi hoku loto, Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he potu ni, ʻae manavahē ki he ʻOtua; pea te nau tāmateʻi au, koeʻuhi ko hoku uaifi.
12 And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
Ka ko e moʻoni pe ko hoku tuofefine ia: he ko e ʻofefine ia ʻo ʻeku tamai, ka ʻoku ʻikai ko e tama ʻa ʻeku faʻē ʻaʻaku pea naʻe hoko ia ko hoku uaifi.
13 And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father’s house, that I said to her, This is thy kindness which thou shalt show to me; at every place where we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.
Pea ʻi he fakahēʻi au ʻe he ʻOtua mei he fale ʻo ʻeku tamai, naʻaku pehē kiate ia, Ko hoʻo ʻofa eni, te ke fakahā kiate au; ʻi he potu kotoa pē te ta hoko ki ai, te ke fakahā au, ʻo pehē, Ko hoku tuongaʻane ia.”
14 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and male and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored to him Sarah his wife.
Pea toʻo ʻe ʻApimeleki ʻae fanga sipi, mo e fanga pulu, mo e kau tamaioʻeiki, mo e kau kaunanga ʻo ne foaki ʻakinautolu kia ʻEpalahame, mo ne toe atu kiate ia ʻa Sela ko hono uaifi.
15 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.
Pea pehēange ʻe ʻApimeleki, “Vakai, ʻoku ʻi ho ʻao hoku fonua kotoa pē; faʻiteliha ko e hā potu te ke nofo ki ai.”
16 And to Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes, to all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kia Sela, “Vakai, kuo u foaki ki ho tuongaʻane ʻae [konga ]siliva ʻe afe: vakai ʻoku ʻiate koe ia, ko e pūlou ki ho mata kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate koe mo e [kakai ]kotoa pē naʻe pehē ʻa hono valokia ia.”
17 So Abraham prayed to God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bore children.
Pea lotu ʻa ʻEpalahame ki he ʻOtua pea fakamoʻui ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa ʻApimeleki, mo hono uaifi, mo ʻene kau kaunanga; pea naʻa nau fanafanau.
18 For the LORD had closed fast all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham’s wife.
He ne kuo pupuni ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae manāva kotoa pē ʻi he fale ʻo ʻApimeleki, koeʻuhi ko Sela, ko e uaifi ʻo ʻEpalahame.
