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,
U-Abhrahama wathutha kuleyondawo waya emangweni waseNegebi wayahlala phakathi kweKhadeshi leShuri. Okwesikhatshana wake wahlala eGerari,
2 egblɔ be ye nɔvinyɔnue nye Sara! Gerar fia Abimelek na wokplɔ Sara vɛ nɛ le eƒe fiasã me.
lapho u-Abhrahama athi khona ngomkakhe uSara, “Ngudadewethu.” Ngakho u-Abhimelekhi inkosi yaseGerari yathi uSara kalethwe, yazithathela.
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.”
Kodwa uNkulunkulu wafika ku-Abhimelekhi ephutsheni ebusuku wathi kuye, “Usufile wena ngenxa yomfazi omthetheyo; ngumfazi womnikazi.”
4 Ke Abimelek medɔ Sara gbɔ haɖe o, eya ta wògblɔ be, “Aƒetɔ, ɖe nàwu ame dzɔdzɔea?
Kodwa u-Abhimelekhi wayelokhu engakamthinti, ngakho wathi, “Thixo, uzasibhubhisa isizwe esimsulwa na?
5 Abraham gblɔ nam be, ‘Nɔvinye nyɔnue,’ eye nyɔnu la hã gblɔ nam be, ‘Ɛ̃, nɔvinye ŋutsue.’ Nyemedi kura be mawɔ nu vɔ̃ o.”
Katshongo kimi yini wathi, ‘Ngudadewethu,’ laye katshongo na wathi, ‘Ungumnewethu?’ Lokhu ngikwenze ngenhliziyo emsulwa langezandla ezimhlophe.”
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.
Ngalokho uNkulunkulu wasesithi kuye ephutsheni, “Yebo, ngiyakwazi ukuthi lokhu ukwenze ngenhliziyo emsulwa, yikho ngikuthintile ukuthi ungenzi isono kimi. Yikho ngingakuyekelanga wamthinta.
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.”
Manje mbuyisele umfazi womuntu, ngoba umuntu lowo ungumphrofethi, uzakukhulekela ukuthi uphile. Kodwa nxa ungambuyiseli, yazi ukuthi wena lakho konke okungokwakho kuzakufa.”
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.
Kusisa ngelanga elilandelayo ekuseni kakhulu, u-Abhimelekhi wabiza zonke izikhulu zakhe, kwathi esezitshelile konke okwenzakeleyo, zesaba kakhulu.
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.”
U-Abhimelekhi wasebiza u-Abhrahama wathi, “Ukwenzeleni lokhu kithi na? Ngikone ngani uze ulethe ukona okunje phezu kwami lombuso wami na? Wenze kimi izinto okungafanelanga zenziwe.”
10 Eye Abimelek bia Abraham be, “Nu ka ta nèwɔ nu sia ɖo?”
U-Abhimelekhi wabuza u-Abhrahama wathi, “Besiyini isizatho sakho sokwenza lokhu na?”
11 Abraham ɖo eŋu be, “Megblɔ na ɖokuinye be, ‘Eme kɔ ƒãa be Mawuvɔvɔ̃ aɖeke mele afi sia o, eye woawum ɖe srɔ̃nye ta.’
U-Abhrahama waphendula wathi, “Ngazitshela ngathi, ‘Ngempela kakukho ukumesaba uNkulunkulu kule indawo njalo bazangibulala ngenxa yomkami.’
12 Kpe ɖe esia ŋu la, nɔvinye nyɔnu tututue, fofonye vie, ke menye danye vie o, eye wònye srɔ̃nye hã.
Ngaphandle kwalokho, uvele ungudadewethu, indodakazi kababa kodwa engasuye kamama; waba ngumkami.
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.’”
Kwathi uNkulunkulu esengisusile emzini kababa ngathi kuSara, ‘Nansi indlela ongatshengisa ngayo uthando lwakho kimi: Noma ngaphi lapho esiya khona, ubokuthi ngami, “Ungumnewethu.”’”
14 Fia Abimelek tsɔ alẽwo, nyiwo kple dɔlaŋutsuwo kple dɔlanyɔnuwo na Abraham, eye wògbugbɔ srɔ̃a, Sara, nɛ.
U-Abhimelekhi waseletha izimvu lenkomo, lezisebenzi zesilisa lezesifazane wazipha u-Abhrahama, wabuyisela uSara umkakhe kuye.
15 Fia Abimelek gblɔ na Abraham be, “Lé ŋku ɖe nye fiaɖuƒe la ŋu, eye nàtia afi sia afi si nàdi be yeanɔ la.”
Njalo u-Abhimelekhi wathi, “Nanti ilizwe lami uyalibona; ungahlala lapho othanda khona.”
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.”
Wathi kuSara, “Umnewenu ngimupha amashekeli esiliva ayinkulungwane. Le iyinhlawulo yehlazo elenziwe kuwe phambi kwabantu bonke bakini; usugeziwe.”
17 Abraham do gbe ɖa be Mawu nayɔ dɔ Abimelek srɔ̃ kple eƒe dɔlanyɔnuwo ale be woate ŋu adzi vi azɔ,
U-Abhrahama wasekhuleka kuNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu wamsilisa u-Abhimelekhi, lomkakhe lezigqili zakhe zesifazane ukuthi babelabantwana njalo,
18 elabena Yehowa xe woƒe vidzidɔwo be yeahe to na Abimelek ɖe ale si wòxɔ Abraham srɔ̃ Sara la ta.
ngoba uThixo wayevale bonke abesifazane bendlu ka-Abhimelekhi inzalo ngenxa yomka-Abhrahama, uSara.
