< Genesis 20 >

1 Abraham el som liki acn Mamre nu ke sie ipin acn eir in Canaan, ac muta inmasrlon acn Kadesh ac Shur. Tok, ke el muta in acn Gerar,
And Abraham went on his way from there to the land of the South, and was living between Kadesh and Shur, in Gerar.
2 el fahk mu Sarah, mutan kial, el ma loul. Ke ma inge Tokosra Abimelech lun acn Gerar el sap utuku Sarah nu yorol.
And Abraham said of Sarah, his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech, king of Gerar, sent and took Sarah.
3 Sie fong ah, God El sikyang nu sel Abimelech in sie mweme ac fahk, “Kom ac misa, mweyen kom eisla mutan se inge. El payuk tari.”
But God came to Abimelech in a dream in the night, and said to him, Truly you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken; for she is a man's wife.
4 Tusruktu Abimelech el soenna kalukyang nu yurin mutan sac, na el fahk, “Leum God, wangin mwetik! Ya kom ac kunausyula ac mwet luk?
Now Abimelech had not come near her; and he said, Lord, will you put to death an upright nation?
5 Abraham el sifacna fahk mu tamtael se lal pa mutan sac, ac Sarah el fahk oapana. Nga oru ma inge ke nunak nasnas, ac wangin kih luk.”
Did he not say to me himself, She is my sister? and she herself said, He is my brother: with an upright heart and clean hands have I done this.
6 God El topkol in mweme sac, “Aok, nga etu lah kom oru ke nunak na nasnas lom. Ouinge nga tuh karingin kom liki in orekma koluk lainyu, ac tia lela kom in kalukyang nu yorol.
And God said to him in the dream, I see that you have done this with an upright heart, and I have kept you from sinning against me: for this reason I did not let you come near her.
7 Tusruktu inge, kom folokonang mutan sac nu sin mukul tumal. El mwet palu se, ac el ac fah pre keim tuh kom in tia misa. A kom fin tia folokunulang, nga fahk kom in etu lah kom ac misa — kom ac mwet lom nukewa.”
So now, give the man back his wife, for he is a prophet, and let him say a prayer for you, so your life may be safe: but if you do not give her back, be certain that death will come to you and all your house.
8 Toang na in lotu tok ah, Abimelech el pangoneni mwet fulat lal nukewa ac fahkang nu selos ma sikyak uh, ac elos arulana tuninfongla ke sangeng.
So Abimelech got up early in the morning and sent for all his servants and gave them word of these things, and they were full of fear.
9 Na Abimelech el solalma Abraham ac siyuk sel, “Mea kom oru nu sesr uh? Mea koluk nga orala nu sum pwanang kom use mwe lokoalok se inge nu fuk ac nu fin tokosrai luk? Tiana wo kutena mwet in oru lumah se ma kom oru nu sik inge.
Then Abimelech sent for Abraham, and said, What have you done to us? what wrong have I done you that you have put on me and on my kingdom so great a sin? You have done to me things which are not to be done.
10 Efu ku kom oru ouinge?”
And Abimelech said to Abraham, Why did you do this thing?
11 Abraham el topuk, “Nga tuh tiana nunku mu ac oasr mwet yenu su etu in sunakin God, pwanang nga tuh sangeng mu elos ac uniyuwi ac eisla mutan kiuk uh.
And Abraham said, Because it seemed to me that there was no fear of God in this place, and that they might put me to death because of my wife.
12 Pwayena lah el ma wiuk. Acn se nutin papa tumuk ah pa el, tusruktu tia nutin nina kiuk ah, ac nga payukyak sel.
And, in fact, she is my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife:
13 Ouinge ke God El supweyula liki papa tumuk ah nu in facl saya inge, nga tuh fahk nu sel Sarah, ‘Kom ku in akkalemye inse pwaye lom nu sik ke kom fahk nu sin mwet nukewa lah nga tamulel lom.’”
And when God sent me wandering from my father's house, I said to her, Let this be the sign of your love for me; wherever we go, say of me, He is my brother.
14 Na Abimelech el folokunulang Sarah nu sel Abraham, ac in pacl sac pacna el sang sheep ac cow natul, ac mwet kulansap lal.
Then Abimelech gave to Abraham sheep and oxen and men-servants and women-servants, and gave him back his wife Sarah.
15 El fahk nu sel Abraham, “Facl se inge nufon ma luk. Mutana yen kom lungse muta we.”
And Abimelech said, See, all my land is before you; take whatever place seems good to you.
16 El fahk nu sel Sarah, “Nga asang nu sin tamulel lom sie tausin ipin silver in akpwayei nu sin mwet lom nukewa lah kom suwosna. Elos nukewa fah etu lah wangin tafongla lom.”
And he said to Sarah, See, I have given to your brother a thousand bits of silver so that your wrong may be put right; now your honour is clear in the eyes of all.
17 Na Abraham el pre nu sin God, ac God El akkeyalla Abimelech ac oayapa mutan kial ac mutan kulansap lal nukewa, tuh elos in ku in isus,
Then Abraham made prayer to God, and God made Abimelech well again, and his wife and his women-servants, so that they had children.
18 mweyen LEUM GOD El tuh kaliya wet lun mutan nukewa in lohm sel Abimelech ke sripal Sarah, mutan kial Abraham.
For the Lord had kept all the women of the house of Abimelech from having children, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.
