< 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,
Abraham travelled from there towards the land of the South, and lived between Kadesh and Shur. He lived as a foreigner 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.
Abraham said about Sarah his wife, “She is my sister.” 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 of the night, and said to him, “Behold, 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. He said, “Lord, will you kill even a righteous 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.”
Didn’t he tell me, ‘She is my sister’? She, even she herself, said, ‘He is my brother.’ I have done this in the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands.”
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.
God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also withheld you from sinning against me. Therefore I didn’t allow you to touch 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.”
Now therefore, restore the man’s wife. For he is a prophet, and he will pray for you, and you will live. If you don’t restore her, know for sure that you will die, you, and all who are yours.”
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.
Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ear. The men were very scared.
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 called Abraham, and said to him, “What have you done to us? How have I sinned against you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You have done deeds to me that ought not to be done!”
10 Efu ku kom oru ouinge?”
Abimelech said to Abraham, “What did you see, that you have done 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.
Abraham said, “Because I thought, ‘Surely the fear of God is not in this place. They will kill me for my wife’s sake.’
12 Pwayena lah el ma wiuk. Acn se nutin papa tumuk ah pa el, tusruktu tia nutin nina kiuk ah, ac nga payukyak sel.
Besides, she is indeed 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.’”
When God caused me to wander from my father’s house, I said to her, ‘This is your kindness which you shall show to me. Everywhere that 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.
Abimelech took sheep and cattle, male servants and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored Sarah, his wife, to him.
15 El fahk nu sel Abraham, “Facl se inge nufon ma luk. Mutana yen kom lungse muta we.”
Abimelech said, “Behold, my land is before you. Dwell where it pleases 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.”
To Sarah he said, “Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver. Behold, it is for you a covering of the eyes to all that are with you. In front of all you are vindicated.”
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,
Abraham prayed to God. So God healed Abimelech, his wife, and his female servants, and they bore 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 closed up tight all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham’s wife.
