< 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,
Abraham travelled from there towards the land of the South, and lived between Kadesh and Shur. He lived as a foreigner 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.
Abraham said about Sarah his wife, “She is my sister.” 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, you are a dead man, because of the woman whom you have 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. He said, “Lord, will you kill 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.”
Didn’t he tell me, ‘She is my sister’? She, even she herself, said, ‘He is my brother.’ I have done this in the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands.”
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.
God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also withheld you from sinning against me. Therefore I didn’t allow you 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 will pray for you, and you will live. If you don’t restore her, know for sure that you will die, you, and all who are yours.”
8 Kashegari da sassafe, sai Abimelek ya tara dukan fadawansa, ya faɗa musu duk abin da ya faru, suka ji tsoro ƙwarai da gaske.
Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ear. The men were very scared.
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 to him, “What have you done to us? How have I sinned against you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You have done deeds to me that ought not to be done!”
10 Abimelek ya kuma ce wa Ibrahim, “Me ya sa ka yi wannan?”
Abimelech said to Abraham, “What did you see, that you have 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.’
Abraham said, “Because I thought, ‘Surely the fear of God is not in this place. They will kill 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.
Besides, she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and 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.”’”
When God caused me to wander from my father’s house, I said to her, ‘This is your kindness which you shall show to me. Everywhere that we go, 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.
Abimelech took sheep and cattle, male servants and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored Sarah, his wife, to him.
15 Abimelek ya kuma ce, “Ƙasata tana gabanka, ka zauna a duk inda kake so.”
Abimelech said, “Behold, my land is before you. Dwell where it pleases you.”
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.”
To Sarah he said, “Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver. Behold, it is for you a covering of the eyes to all that are with you. In front of all you are vindicated.”
17 Sai Ibrahim ya yi addu’a ga Allah, Allah kuma ya warkar da Abimelek, da matarsa da bayinsa mata domin su haihu,
Abraham prayed to God. So God healed Abimelech, his wife, and his female servants, and they bore children.
18 gama Ubangiji ya rufe kowace mahaifa a gidan Abimelek saboda Saratu, matar Ibrahim.
For the LORD had closed up tight all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham’s wife.
