Mose 1 20
1 Azɔ Abraham ʋu tso Negeb yi dziehe lɔƒo, eye wòyi ɖanɔ Kades kple Sur dome. Gbe ɖeka esi wòɖi tsa yi Gerar du me la,
And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.
2 egblɔ be ye nɔvinyɔnue nye Sara! Gerar fia Abimelek na wokplɔ Sara vɛ nɛ le eƒe fiasã me.
And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
3 Ke le zã ma me la, Mawu ɖe eɖokui fia Abimelek le drɔ̃e me hegblɔ nɛ be, “Èle kuku ge godoo, elabena nyɔnu si wokplɔ vɛ na wò la, ame srɔ̃e.”
But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man’s wife.
4 Ke Abimelek medɔ Sara gbɔ haɖe o, eya ta wògblɔ be, “Aƒetɔ, ɖe nàwu ame dzɔdzɔea?
But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?
5 Abraham gblɔ nam be, ‘Nɔvinye nyɔnue,’ eye nyɔnu la hã gblɔ nam be, ‘Ɛ̃, nɔvinye ŋutsue.’ Nyemedi kura be mawɔ nu vɔ̃ o.”
Said he not unto 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.
6 Mawu ɖo eŋu be, “Ɛ̃, menyae nenema, eya ta mekpɔ egbɔ be mèwɔ nu vɔ̃ ɖe ŋunye o. Esia tae nyemeɖe mɔ na wò be nàka asi eŋu o ɖo.
And God said unto 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 suffered I thee not to touch her.
7 Gbugbɔe ɖo ɖe srɔ̃a kaba! Srɔ̃a ado gbe ɖa ɖe tawò, elabena nyagblɔɖilae, ekema ànɔ agbe. Ke ne mèɖoe ɖe srɔ̃a o la, ekema nyae be mi kple aƒewòmetɔwo katã miaku.”
Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.
8 Fia Abimelek fɔ ŋdi kanya, yɔ eŋume veviwo katã ƒo ƒui, eye wòka nya la ta na wo. Vɔvɔ̃ ɖo ame sia ame le ƒuƒoƒea.
Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid.
9 Abimelek yɔ Abraham, eye wògblɔ be “Nu kae nye esi nèwɔ ɖe mía ŋu? Aleke gbegbe meda voe ɖe ŋuwò be nèna fɔɖiɖi gã sia va nye kple nye fiaɖuƒe dzi? Èwɔ nu si womewɔna o la ɖe ŋunye.”
Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done.
10 Eye Abimelek bia Abraham be, “Nu ka ta nèwɔ nu sia ɖo?”
And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?
11 Abraham ɖo eŋu be, “Megblɔ na ɖokuinye be, ‘Eme kɔ ƒãa be Mawuvɔvɔ̃ aɖeke mele afi sia o, eye woawum ɖe srɔ̃nye ta.’
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.
12 Kpe ɖe esia ŋu la, nɔvinye nyɔnu tututue, fofonye vie, ke menye danye vie o, eye wònye srɔ̃nye hã.
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.
13 Esi Mawu ɖo nam be maʋu le mía de la, megblɔ na srɔ̃nye be, ‘Afi sia afi si míaɖo la, ve nunye nàgblɔ be nɔvinye nyɔnue yenye.’”
And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father’s house, that I said unto her, This is thy kindness which thou shalt shew unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.
14 Fia Abimelek tsɔ alẽwo, nyiwo kple dɔlaŋutsuwo kple dɔlanyɔnuwo na Abraham, eye wògbugbɔ srɔ̃a, Sara, nɛ.
And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
15 Fia Abimelek gblɔ na Abraham be, “Lé ŋku ɖe nye fiaɖuƒe la ŋu, eye nàtia afi sia afi si nàdi be yeanɔ la.”
And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.
16 Emegbe la, etrɔ ɖe Sara ŋu gblɔ nɛ be, “Kpɔ ɖa, metsɔ klosalo akpe ɖeka na ‘nɔviwò ŋutsua’ be makpatae, eye maɖe ŋukpe ɖa le mo na wò le gbɔwòviwo katã ŋkume. Fifia dzɔdzɔenyenye va aƒe.”
And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved.
17 Abraham do gbe ɖa be Mawu nayɔ dɔ Abimelek srɔ̃ kple eƒe dɔlanyɔnuwo ale be woate ŋu adzi vi azɔ,
So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.
18 elabena Yehowa xe woƒe vidzidɔwo be yeahe to na Abimelek ɖe ale si wòxɔ Abraham srɔ̃ Sara la ta.
For Yhwh had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham’s wife.
