Jenesis 20
1 Ugbu a, Ebraham sitere nʼebe ahụ bilie gaa na mpaghara Negev biri nʼebe dị nʼagbata Kadesh na Shua. Ọ nọrọ nʼobodo Gera nwa oge nta.
Afterward Abraham departed thence toward the South countrey and dwelled betweene Cadesh and Shur, and soiourned in Gerar.
2 Nʼebe ahụ, Ebraham kwuru maka Sera, nwunye ya, sị “Ọ bụ nwanne m nwanyị.” Abimelek, eze Gera, ziri ozi kpọrọ Sera.
And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister. Then Abimelech King of Gerar sent and tooke Sarah.
3 Ma Chineke bịakwutere Abimelek na nrọ nʼanyasị, sị ya, “Onye nwụrụ anwụ ka ị bụ, nʼihi nwanyị nke ị kpọọrọ, nwanyị a bụ onye nwere di.”
But God came to Abimelech in a dreame by night, and said to him, Beholde, thou art but dead, because of the woman, which thou hast taken: for she is a mans wife.
4 Ma Abimelek abịabeghị Sera nso, ya mere o ji sị, “Onyenwe m, ị ga-ebibi mba aka ya dị ọcha?
(Notwithstanding Abimelech had not yet come neere her) And he said, Lord, wilt thou slay euen the righteous nation?
5 Ọ bụ na ya onwe ya agwaghị m sị, ‘ọ bụ nwanne m nwanyị,’ nke nwanyị nʼonwe ya, ekwuokwa sị, ‘Nwanne m nwoke ka ọ bụ?’ E ji m uche dị ọcha na aka dị ọcha mee ihe niile m mere.”
Said not he vnto me, She is my sister? yea, and she her selfe said, He is my brother: with an vpright minde, and innocent handes haue I done this.
6 Chineke zara ya sị, “Amaara m na i ji uche dị ọcha mee ihe i mere. Ọ bụ ya mere m ji gbochie gị imehie megide m. Ọ bụkwa ya mere m ji gbochie gị ịmetụ ya aka.
And God saide vnto him by a dreame, I knowe that thou diddest this euen with an vpright minde, and I kept thee also that thou shouldest not sinne against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touche her.
7 Ugbu a, nyeghachi nwoke a nwunye ya. Nʼihi na ọ bụ onye amụma. Ọ ga-ekpere gị ekpere, ka ị ghara ịnwụ. Ma ọ bụrụ na i dughachịghị nwanyị a nye di ya, unu ga-anwụ, gị na ndị gị niile.”
Now then deliuer the man his wife againe: for he is a Prophet, and he shall pray for thee that thou mayest liue: but if thou deliuer her not againe, be sure that thou shalt die the death, thou, and all that thou hast.
8 Ya mere, Abimelek biliri nʼisi ụtụtụ echi ya, kpọọ nzukọ nke ndịisi ozi ya niile, kọọrọ ha ihe mere. Ha tụrụ ụjọ nke ukwuu.
Then Abimelech rising vp early in ye morning, called all his seruants, and tolde all these things vnto them, and the men were sore afraid.
9 Emesịa, Abimelek kpọbatara Ebraham sị ya, “Gịnị bụ ihe a i mere anyị? Gịnị bụ ihe ọjọọ m mere i ji butere mụ na alaeze m ihe oke ikpe ọmụma dị otu a? Ihe a i mere m bụ ihe na-ekwesighị ekwesi.”
Afterward Abimelech called Abraham, and said vnto him, What hast thou done vnto vs? and what haue I offeded thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdome this great sinne? thou hast done things vnto me that ought not to be done.
10 Abimelek jụrụ Ebraham sị, “Ọ bụ gịnị ka ị hụrụ i jiri mee omume dị otu a?”
So Abimelech said vnto Abraham, What sawest thou that thou hast done this thing?
11 Ebraham zara ya, “Nʼihi na asịrị m nʼobi m, ‘Nʼezie, ịtụ egwu Chineke adịghị nʼebe a. Ha ga-egbu m nʼihi nwunye m.’
Then Abraham answered, Because I thought thus, Surely the feare of God is not in this place, and they will slay me for my wiues sake.
12 Ewezugakwa nke a, ọ bụ nwanna m nwanyị, nʼihi na otu nna mụrụ anyị, ma ọ bụghị otu nne, tupu ọ bụrụ nwunye m.
Yet in very deede she is my sister: for she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother, and she is my wife.
13 Mgbe Chineke sitere nʼezinaụlọ nna m zipụ m ije ebe dị anya, agwara m ya sị, ‘Otu a ka ị ga-esi gosi na ị hụrụ m nʼanya, ebe ọbụla anyị gara, kwuo gbasara m, “Onye a bụ nwanne m.”’”
Nowe when God caused me to wander out of my fathers house, I said then to her, This is thy kindnes that thou shalt shewe vnto me in all places where we come, Say thou of me, He is my brother.
14 Mgbe ahụ, Abimelek dupụtara atụrụ, na ehi, na ndị ohu ndị ikom, na ndị ohu ndị inyom, nye Ebraham. Ọ kpọnyekwara ya Sera nwunye ya.
Then tooke Abimelech sheepe and beeues, and men seruants, and women seruants, and gaue them vnto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
15 Abimelek sịrị, “Lee nʼala m niile, birikwa nʼebe ọbụla masịrị gị.”
And Abimelech saide, Beholde, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.
16 Mgbe ahụ, ọ sịrị Sera, “Ana m enye nwanne gị puku shekel ọlaọcha, ka ọ bụrụ ihe m ji kwụọ ụgwọ mmeso ọjọọ m mesoro gị. Ejikwa m ya na-egosi na ị bụ onye aka ya dị ọcha.”
Likewise to Sarah he said, Beholde, I haue giuen thy brother a thousand pieces of siluer: behold, he is the vaile of thine eyes to all that are with thee, and to all others: and she was thus reproued.
17 Mgbe ahụ, Ebraham kpọkuru Chineke nʼekpere. Chineke gwọrọ Abimelek na nwunye ya, na ndị inyom ndị ohu ya niile, ka ha nwee ike ịmụta ụmụ ọzọ.
Then Abraham prayed vnto God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his women seruants: and they bare children.
18 Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị mechiri akpanwa ndị inyom niile nọ nʼezinaụlọ Abimelek nʼihi Sera nwunye Ebraham.
For the Lord had shut vp euery wombe of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abrahams wife.
