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.
And Abraham departed thence towarde the southcontre and dwelled betwene Cades and Sur ad sogeorned 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 sayde of Sara his wyfe that she was his sister. Than Abimelech kynge of Gerar sent and fett Sara awaye.
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.”
And God came to Abimelech by nyghte in a dreame and sayde to him: Se thou art but a deed man for the womas sake which thou hast taken awaye for she is a mans wyfe.
4 Ma Abimelek abịabeghị Sera nso, ya mere o ji sị, “Onyenwe m, ị ga-ebibi mba aka ya dị ọcha?
But Abimelech had not yet come nye her and therfore sayde: lorde wilt thou sley rightewes people?
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.”
sayde not he vnto me that she was hys sister? yee and sayde not she herself that he was hir brother? wyth a pure herte 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 sayde vnto him in a dreame. I wot it well that thou dydest it in the purenesse of thi herte. And therfore I kepte ye that thou shuldest not synne agenst me nether suffred I the to come nygh 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 therfore delyuer the ma his wyfe ageyne for he is a prophete. And let him praye for the that thou mayst lyue. But and yf thou delyuer her not agayne be sure that thou shalt dye the deth with 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.
Than Abimelech rose vp be tymes in the mornynge and called all his servauntes and tolde all these thinges in their eares and the men were sore a frayde.
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.”
And Abimelech called Abraham and sayde vnto him: What hast thou done vnto vs and what haue I offended the that thou shuldest brynge on me and on my kyngdome so greate a synne? thou hast done dedes 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?”
And Abimelech sayde morouer vnto Abraham: What sawest thou that moved the to do this thinge?
11 Ebraham zara ya, “Nʼihi na asịrị m nʼobi m, ‘Nʼezie, ịtụ egwu Chineke adịghị nʼebe a. Ha ga-egbu m nʼihi nwunye m.’
And Abraham Answered. I thought that peradveture the feare of God was not in this place and that they shulde sley me for my wyfes 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 dede she is my sister the doughter of my father but not of my mother: and became my wyfe.
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.”’”
And after God caused me to wandre out of my fathers house I sayde vnto her: This kyndnesse shalt thou shewe vnto me in all places where we come that thou saye of me how that I am thy 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.
Than toke Abimelech shepe and oxen menservauntes and wemenseruauntes and gaue them vnto Abraham and delyvered him Sara his wyfe agayne.
15 Abimelek sịrị, “Lee nʼala m niile, birikwa nʼebe ọbụla masịrị gị.”
And Abimelech sayde: beholde the lande lyeth be fore the dwell where it pleaseth ye best.
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.”
And vnto Sara he sayde: Se I haue geuen thy brother a thousande peeces of syluer beholde he shall be a couerynge to thyne eyes vnto all that ar with the and vnto all men and an excuse.
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.
And so Abraham prayde vnto God and God healed Abimeleh and his wyfe and hys maydens so that they bare.
18 Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị mechiri akpanwa ndị inyom niile nọ nʼezinaụlọ Abimelek nʼihi Sera nwunye Ebraham.
For the LORde had closed to all the matryces of the house of Abimelech because of Sara Abrahams wyfe.
