Genesis 20
1 And Abraham journeyed from thence towards the south country, and dwelt between Kadash and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.
Ibulayimu bwe yava eyo n’atambula okwolekera Negevu, n’abeera wakati wa Kadesi ne Ssuuli; n’agenda mu Gerali.
2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, she is my sister: And Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.
Ibulayimu n’ayogera ku Saala mukazi we nti, “Mwannyinaze.” Abimereki kabaka we Gerali n’atumya n’atwala Saala.
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.
Naye Katonda n’ajja eri Abimereki mu kirooto ekiro n’amugamba nti, “Laba oli mufu, olw’omukazi gw’otutte kubanga muka musajja.”
4 But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, LORD, wilt thou also slay a righteous nation?
Naye Abimereki yali tanneebaka naye, n’alyoka agamba nti, “Onotta abantu abataliiko musango.
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 innocence of my hands have I done this.
Si yeyaŋŋamba nti, ‘Mwannyinaze?’ Era ne Saala n’aŋŋamba nti, ‘Mwannyina.’ Kino nkikoze mu mutima omutuukirivu n’emikono gyange tegiriiko musango.”
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 suffered thee not to touch her.
Awo Katonda n’ayogera naye mu kirooto nti, “Ddala mmanyi nti okoze kino mu mutima omutuukirivu, era nze nakukuuma oleme okwonoona gye ndi; ne nkuziyiza okumukwatako.
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.
Kale kaakano zzaayo mukazi w’omusajja, kubanga nnabbi, era anaakusabira, nawe on’oba mulamu. Naye bw’otomuzzeeyo, manya ng’ojja kufa, ggwe ne by’olina byonna.”
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.
Awo Abimereki n’agolokoka mu makya ennyo n’ayita abakungu be bonna n’abategeeza ebintu bino byonna; abasajja ne batya nnyo.
9 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him, What has thou done to us? and in what 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.
Awo Abimereki n’ayita Ibulayimu n’amugamba nti, “Otukoze ki? Era nsobi ki gye nkukoze, n’ondeetera nze n’obwakabaka bwange ekibi ekinene ekyenkana awo? By’onkoze tebisaana kukolebwa muntu.”
10 And Abimelech said to Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?
Era Abimereki n’agamba Ibulayimu nti, “Wali olowooza ki okukola ekintu kino?”
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.
Ibulayimu n’addamu nti, “Nakikola kubanga nalowooza nti mu kifo kino temuliimu kutya Katonda n’akamu, era balinzita olwa mukazi wange.
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.
Naze ebyo nga biri awo ddala mwannyinaze, muwala wa kitange, naye si muwala wa mmange; era yafuuka mukazi wange.
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 whither we shall come, say of me, He [is] my brother.
Katonda bwe yandeeta okuva mu nnyumba ya kitange, ne mugamba nti, ‘Eky’ekisa ky’oyinza okunkolera kye kino, buli kifo kye tutuukamu njogeraako nti ndi mwannyoko.’”
14 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and men-servants, and women-servants, and gave [them] to Abraham, and restored to him Sarah his wife.
Awo Abimereki n’atwala endiga n’ente, abaweereza abasajja n’abaweereza abakazi, n’abiwa Ibulayimu, n’amuddiza Saala mukyala we.
15 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land [is] before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.
Era Abimereki n’amugamba nti, “Laba ensi yange eri mu maaso go, beera w’oyagala.”
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.
N’agamba ne Saala nti, “Laba mpadde mwannyoko ebitundu bya ffeeza lukumi, okukumalako ensonyi mu maaso gaabo bonna abali naawe.”
17 So Abraham prayed to God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maid-servants, and they bore [children].
Awo Ibulayimu n’asabira Abimereki eri Katonda, ne Katonda n’awonya Abimereki era n’awonya ne mukazi we; n’abaweereza be abakazi ne balyoka bazaala abaana.
18 For the LORD had made barren all the females of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.
Kubanga Mukama yali aggalidde embuto z’ab’omu nnyumba y’Abimereki olwa Saala mukazi wa Ibulayimu.
