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.
Pea naʻe fononga ʻa ʻEpalahame mei ai, ki he fonua ʻi he feituʻu tonga, pea nofo ia ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Ketesi mo Sua, pea ʻāunofo ia ʻi Kela.
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻEpalahame [ʻi heʻene lau ]ki hono uaifi ko Sela, “Ko hoku tuofefine ia:” pea fekauʻi ʻe ʻApimeleki, ko e tuʻi ʻo Kela, ʻo ne ʻave ʻa Sela.
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.
Ka naʻe hā mai ʻae ʻOtua kia ʻApimeleki ʻi he misi ʻi he pō, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Vakai ko e tangata mate koe, koeʻuhi ko e fefine kuo ke toʻo, he ko e uaifi ia ʻo ha tangata.”
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?
Ka naʻe teʻeki ai ofi ʻa ʻApimeleki kiate ia: pea pehē ʻe ia, “E ʻEiki, te ke fakaʻauha foki ʻae puleʻanga māʻoniʻoni?
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.
ʻIkai naʻa ne pehē mai kiate au, ‘Ko hoku tuofefine ia?’ Mo e fefine, naʻe pehē ʻe ia, ‘Ko hoku tuongaʻane ia;’ ʻi he totonu ʻa hoku loto, mo e māʻoniʻoni ʻa hoku nima kuo u fai ʻae meʻa ni.”
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.
Pea pehē ʻe he ʻOtua kiate ia ʻi he misi, “ʻIo, ʻoku ou ʻilo naʻa ke fai ia ʻi he anga totonu, he naʻaku taʻofi koe foki ke ʻoua naʻa ke fai hala kiate au; ko ia naʻe ʻikai te u tuku koe ke ke ala kiate ia.
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.
Pea ko eni, ke ke toe ʻatu ki he tangata hono uaifi; he ko e palōfita ia, pea te ne hūfia koe, pea te ke moʻui: pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke toe ʻatu ia, ke ke ʻilo ko e moʻoni te ke mate, ʻa koe mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻoʻou.”
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.
Ko ia naʻe tuʻu hengihengi hake ai ʻa ʻApimeleki, ʻo ne ui ʻene kau nofoʻanga kotoa pē, ʻo ne fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē; pea naʻa nau manavahē lahi.
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.
Pea fekau ʻe ʻApimeleki ke haʻu ʻa ʻEpalahame, pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā eni kuo ke fai kiate kimautolu? Pea ko e hā ha kovi naʻaku fai kiate koe, ke ke ʻomi ai kiate au mo hoku puleʻanga ʻae hala lahi ni? Kuo ke fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa kiate au ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai lelei ke fai.”
10 Ninau mai la o Abimeleka ia Aberahama, Heaha kau i ike mai ai, i hana iho ai oe i keia mea?
Pea fehuʻi ʻe ʻApimeleki kia ʻEpalahame ʻo ne pehē, ‘Ko e hā ʻae meʻa naʻe hā kiate koe, koeʻuhi ke ke fai ai ʻae meʻa ni?’
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.
Pea talaange ʻe ʻEpalahame, “Naʻaku pehē ʻi hoku loto, Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he potu ni, ʻae manavahē ki he ʻOtua; pea te nau tāmateʻi au, koeʻuhi ko hoku uaifi.
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.
Ka ko e moʻoni pe ko hoku tuofefine ia: he ko e ʻofefine ia ʻo ʻeku tamai, ka ʻoku ʻikai ko e tama ʻa ʻeku faʻē ʻaʻaku pea naʻe hoko ia ko hoku uaifi.
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.
Pea ʻi he fakahēʻi au ʻe he ʻOtua mei he fale ʻo ʻeku tamai, naʻaku pehē kiate ia, Ko hoʻo ʻofa eni, te ke fakahā kiate au; ʻi he potu kotoa pē te ta hoko ki ai, te ke fakahā au, ʻo pehē, Ko hoku tuongaʻane ia.”
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.
Pea toʻo ʻe ʻApimeleki ʻae fanga sipi, mo e fanga pulu, mo e kau tamaioʻeiki, mo e kau kaunanga ʻo ne foaki ʻakinautolu kia ʻEpalahame, mo ne toe atu kiate ia ʻa Sela ko hono uaifi.
15 I mai la o Abimeleka, Aia hoi, imua ou ko'u aina, e noho ma kahi i makemake ai oe.
Pea pehēange ʻe ʻApimeleki, “Vakai, ʻoku ʻi ho ʻao hoku fonua kotoa pē; faʻiteliha ko e hā potu te ke nofo ki ai.”
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kia Sela, “Vakai, kuo u foaki ki ho tuongaʻane ʻae [konga ]siliva ʻe afe: vakai ʻoku ʻiate koe ia, ko e pūlou ki ho mata kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate koe mo e [kakai ]kotoa pē naʻe pehē ʻa hono valokia ia.”
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.
Pea lotu ʻa ʻEpalahame ki he ʻOtua pea fakamoʻui ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa ʻApimeleki, mo hono uaifi, mo ʻene kau kaunanga; pea naʻa nau fanafanau.
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.
He ne kuo pupuni ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae manāva kotoa pē ʻi he fale ʻo ʻApimeleki, koeʻuhi ko Sela, ko e uaifi ʻo ʻEpalahame.
