< Farawa 20 >

1 Daga Mamre, Ibrahim ya kama hanya ya nufi wajajen Negeb, ya zauna a tsakanin Kadesh da Shur. Ya zauna a Gerar na ɗan lokaci,
And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the land of the South, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur; and he sojourned in Gerar.
2 a can ne Ibrahim ya ce game da matarsa Saratu, “Ita’yar’uwata ce.” Sai Abimelek sarkin Gerar ya aiko a kawo masa Saratu.
And Abraham said of Sarah his wife: 'She is my sister.' And Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
3 Amma wata rana da dad dare Allah ya zo wa Abimelek a cikin mafarki ya ce masa, “Kai da matacce ɗaya kuke, saboda matar da ka ɗauka. Ita matar aure ce.”
But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him: 'Behold, thou shalt die, because of the woman whom thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife.'
4 Abimelek dai bai riga ya kusace ta ba tukuna, saboda haka ya ce, “Ya Ubangiji za ka hallaka al’umma marar laifi?
Now Abimelech had not come near her; and he said: 'Lord, wilt Thou slay even a righteous nation?
5 Ba shi ne ya ce mini, ‘Ita’yar’uwata ba ce,’ ita ma ba tă ce, ‘Shi ɗan’uwana ba ne’? Na yi haka da kyakkyawan nufi da hannuwa masu tsabta.”
Said he not himself unto me: She is my sister? and she, even she herself said: He is my brother. In the simplicity of my heart and the innocency of my hands have I done this.'
6 Sai Allah ya ce masa a cikin mafarki “I, na san ka yi wannan da kyakkyawan nufi, saboda haka ne na kiyaye ka daga yin mini zunubi. Shi ya sa ban bar ka ka taɓa ta ba.
And God said unto him in the dream: 'Yea, I know that in the simplicity of thy heart thou hast done this, and I also withheld thee from sinning against Me. Therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.
7 Yanzu ka komar da matar mutumin, gama shi annabi ne, zai kuma yi maka addu’a, za ka kuwa rayu. In ba ka komar da ita ba fa, ka sani tabbatacce kai da dukan abin da yake naka za ku mutu.”
Now therefore restore the man's 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 Kashegari da sassafe, sai Abimelek ya tara dukan fadawansa, ya faɗa musu duk abin da ya faru, suka ji tsoro ƙwarai da gaske.
And 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 Sa’an nan Abimelek ya kira Ibrahim ciki ya ce, “Me ke nan ka yi mana? Ta wace hanya ce na yi maka laifi har da ka kawo irin wannan babban laifi a kaina da kuma masarautata? Ka yi mini abubuwan da bai kamata a yi ba.”
Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him: 'What hast thou done unto us? and wherein have I sinned against 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 Abimelek ya kuma ce wa Ibrahim, “Me ya sa ka yi wannan?”
And Abimelech said unto Abraham: 'What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?'
11 Ibrahim ya ce, “Na ce a raina, ‘Tabbatacce babu tsoron Allah a wannan wuri, za su kuwa kashe ni saboda matata.’
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 Ban da haka, tabbatacce ita’yar’uwata ce,’yar mahaifina, ko da yake ba daga uwata ba, ta kuma zama matata.
And moreover she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and so she became my wife.
13 Sa’ad da Allah ya sa na tashi daga gidan mahaifina na ce mata, ‘Wannan shi ne yadda za ki nuna mini ƙaunarki. Duk inda muka tafi, ki ce game da ni, “Shi ɗan’uwana ne.”’”
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 show unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me: He is my brother.'
14 Sai Abimelek ya kawo awaki da shanu da bayi maza da mata, ya ba wa Ibrahim, ya kuma komar da Saratu matarsa gare shi.
And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and men-servants and women-servants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
15 Abimelek ya kuma ce, “Ƙasata tana gabanka, ka zauna a duk inda kake so.”
And Abimelech said: 'Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.'
16 Ga Saratu kuwa ya ce, “Ina ba wa ɗan’uwanki shekel dubu na azurfa, shaida ce ta tabbatarwa a idanun dukan waɗanda suke tare da ke, da kuma a gaban kowa cewa ba ki da laifi.”
And unto Sarah he said: 'Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver; behold, it is for thee a covering of the eyes to all that are with thee; and before all men thou art righted.'
17 Sai Ibrahim ya yi addu’a ga Allah, Allah kuma ya warkar da Abimelek, da matarsa da bayinsa mata domin su haihu,
And Abraham prayed unto God; and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maid-servants; and they bore children.
18 gama Ubangiji ya rufe kowace mahaifa a gidan Abimelek saboda Saratu, matar Ibrahim.
For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
