< Kinohi 20 >

1 HELE aku la o Aberahama mailaila aku ma ka aina kukuluhema, a noho hoi ia mawaena o Kadesa a o Sura, a ma Gerara kona noho malihini ana.
And Abraham departed thence towards the south country, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned at Gerar.
2 Olelo aku la o Aberahama no kana wahine no Sara, Oia no kuu kaikuwahine: a hoouna mai la o Abimeleka ke alii o Gerara, a lawe aku la ia Sara.
And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister. And Abimelech the king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.
3 A hele mai la ke Akua io Abimeleka la ma ka moeuhane i ka po, i mai la ia ia, Aia hoi, he kanaka make oe, no ka wahine au i lawe iho nei, no ka mea, he wahine mea kane ia.
But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art [but] a dead man, because of the woman that thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife.
4 Aka, aole i hoopili o Abimeleka ia ia: i aku la oia, E ka Haku, e pepehi mai no hoi oe i ka lahuikanaka hala ole?
But Abimelech had not come near her. And he said, Lord, wilt thou also kill a righteous nation?
5 Aole anei ia i olelo mai ia'u, O ko'u kaikuwahine ia! a o ka wahine, oia ka i i mai, He kaikunane keia no'u: ma ka manao pono o kuu naau a me ka hala ole o kuu mau lima ka'u i hana aku ai i keia.
Did he not say to me, She is my sister? and she, even she said, He is my brother. In the integrity of my heart and in the innocency of my hands have I done this.
6 I mai la ke Akua ia ia ma ka moeuhane, Oiaio. ke ike nei au, ua hana aku oe i keia ma ka manao pono o kou naau; a ua hoopaa no hoi au ia oe, i ole oe e hana hewa mai ia'u: nolaila, aole au i ae aku ia oe e hoopa ia ia.
And God said to him in a dream, I also knew that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart, and I, too, have withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore have I not suffered thee to touch her.
7 No ia mea hoi, e hoihoi aku na ua kanaka la i kana wahine; no ka mea, he kaula ia, a nana no e pule mai nou, i ola ai oe: a i ole oe e hoihoi mai ia ia, alaila e ike pono oe, he oiaio e make no oe, o oe a me ou poe a pau.
And now, restore the man's wife; for he is a prophet, and will pray for thee, that thou mayest live. And if thou do not restore [her], know that thou shalt certainly die, thou and all that is thine.
8 Ala ae la o Abimeleka i kakahiaka nui, houluulu ae la i kana poe kauwa a pau, a hai aku la i keia mau mea maloko o ko lakou mau pepeiao: a makau loa iho la na kanaka.
And Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and spoke all these words in their ears; and the men were greatly afraid.
9 Alaila, kahea mai la o Abimeleka ia Aberahama, i mai la ia ia, Heaha kau i hana mai ai ia makou? Heaha hoi ko'u hala in oe, i hooili mai ai oe iluna iho o'u a o ko'u aupuni ka hewa nui? Ua hana mai oe ia'u i na mea pono ole ke hanaia.
And Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, What hast thou done to us? And in what have I sinned against thee, that thou hast brought on me, and on my kingdom, a great sin? Thou hast done to me deeds that ought not to be done.
10 Ninau mai la o Abimeleka ia Aberahama, Heaha kau i ike mai ai, i hana iho ai oe i keia mea?
And Abimelech said to Abraham, What hast thou seen that thou hast done this?
11 I aku la o Aberahama, No ka mea, i iho la au ma kuu naau, He oiaio, aole ka makau i ke Akua ma keia wahi; a e pepehi mai auanei lakou ia'u no kuu wahine.
And Abraham said, Because I said, Surely the fear of God is not in this place, and they will kill me for my wife's sake.
12 He oiaio hoi, o ko'u kaikuwahine no ia, ke kaikamahine a kuu makuakane, aole nae ia ke kaikamahine a kuu makuwahine, a lilo mai la ia i wahine na'u.
But she is also truly my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
13 A i ka manawa a ke Akua i hooanwana mai ai ia'u mai ka hale o ko'u makuakane mai, i aku la au ia ia nei, Eia kou lokomaikai au e hoike mai ai ia'u: i na wahi a pau e hiki aku ai kana, e olelo aku oe no'u, O ko'u kaikunane ia.
And it came to pass when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said to her, Let this be thy kindness which thou shalt shew to me: at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.
14 Lawe ae la o Abimeleka i na hipa, me na bipikane, i na kauwakane a me na kauwawahine, a haawi mai la ia Aberahama, a hoihoi mai la oia ia Sara kana wahine nana.
And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and bondmen and bondwomen, and gave [them] to Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
15 I mai la o Abimeleka, Aia hoi, imua ou ko'u aina, e noho ma kahi i makemake ai oe.
And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it is good in thine eyes.
16 I mai la hoi oia ia Sara, Aia hoi, ua haawi iho nei au i na apana kala he tausani na kou kaikunane: aia hoi, he mea pale maka ia nou imua o ka poe a pau me oe, a me na mea a pau: pela oia i aoia mai ai.
And to Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand [pieces] of silver; behold, let that be to thee a covering of the eyes, in respect of all that are with thee, and with all; and she was reproved.
17 Pule aku la o Aberahama i ke Akua: a hoola mai la ke Akua ia Abimeleka, me kana wahine a me kana poe kauwawahine; a hanaukeiki lakou.
And Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife and his handmaids, and they bore [children].
18 No ka mea, ua papaniia e Iehova na opu o na wahine a pau o ka hale o Abimeleka, no Sara ka wahine a Aberahama.
For Jehovah had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
