Olubereberye 20
1 Ibulayimu bwe yava eyo n’atambula okwolekera Negevu, n’abeera wakati wa Kadesi ne Ssuuli; n’agenda mu Gerali.
And Abraham departed thence towarde the southcontre and dwelled betwene Cades and Sur ad sogeorned in Gerar.
2 Ibulayimu n’ayogera ku Saala mukazi we nti, “Mwannyinaze.” Abimereki kabaka we Gerali n’atumya n’atwala Saala.
And Abraham sayde of Sara his wyfe that she was his sister. Than Abimelech kynge of Gerar sent and fett Sara awaye.
3 Naye Katonda n’ajja eri Abimereki mu kirooto ekiro n’amugamba nti, “Laba oli mufu, olw’omukazi gw’otutte kubanga muka musajja.”
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 Naye Abimereki yali tanneebaka naye, n’alyoka agamba nti, “Onotta abantu abataliiko musango.
But Abimelech had not yet come nye her and therfore sayde: lorde wilt thou sley rightewes people?
5 Si yeyaŋŋamba nti, ‘Mwannyinaze?’ Era ne Saala n’aŋŋamba nti, ‘Mwannyina.’ Kino nkikoze mu mutima omutuukirivu n’emikono gyange tegiriiko musango.”
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 Awo Katonda n’ayogera naye mu kirooto nti, “Ddala mmanyi nti okoze kino mu mutima omutuukirivu, era nze nakukuuma oleme okwonoona gye ndi; ne nkuziyiza okumukwatako.
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 Kale kaakano zzaayo mukazi w’omusajja, kubanga nnabbi, era anaakusabira, nawe on’oba mulamu. Naye bw’otomuzzeeyo, manya ng’ojja kufa, ggwe ne by’olina byonna.”
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 Awo Abimereki n’agolokoka mu makya ennyo n’ayita abakungu be bonna n’abategeeza ebintu bino byonna; abasajja ne batya nnyo.
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 Awo Abimereki n’ayita Ibulayimu n’amugamba nti, “Otukoze ki? Era nsobi ki gye nkukoze, n’ondeetera nze n’obwakabaka bwange ekibi ekinene ekyenkana awo? By’onkoze tebisaana kukolebwa muntu.”
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 Era Abimereki n’agamba Ibulayimu nti, “Wali olowooza ki okukola ekintu kino?”
And Abimelech sayde morouer vnto Abraham: What sawest thou that moved the to do this thinge?
11 Ibulayimu n’addamu nti, “Nakikola kubanga nalowooza nti mu kifo kino temuliimu kutya Katonda n’akamu, era balinzita olwa mukazi wange.
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 Naze ebyo nga biri awo ddala mwannyinaze, muwala wa kitange, naye si muwala wa mmange; era yafuuka mukazi wange.
yet in very dede she is my sister the doughter of my father but not of my mother: and became my wyfe.
13 Katonda bwe yandeeta okuva mu nnyumba ya kitange, ne mugamba nti, ‘Eky’ekisa ky’oyinza okunkolera kye kino, buli kifo kye tutuukamu njogeraako nti ndi mwannyoko.’”
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 Awo Abimereki n’atwala endiga n’ente, abaweereza abasajja n’abaweereza abakazi, n’abiwa Ibulayimu, n’amuddiza Saala mukyala we.
Than toke Abimelech shepe and oxen menservauntes and wemenseruauntes and gaue them vnto Abraham and delyvered him Sara his wyfe agayne.
15 Era Abimereki n’amugamba nti, “Laba ensi yange eri mu maaso go, beera w’oyagala.”
And Abimelech sayde: beholde the lande lyeth be fore the dwell where it pleaseth ye best.
16 N’agamba ne Saala nti, “Laba mpadde mwannyoko ebitundu bya ffeeza lukumi, okukumalako ensonyi mu maaso gaabo bonna abali naawe.”
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 Awo Ibulayimu n’asabira Abimereki eri Katonda, ne Katonda n’awonya Abimereki era n’awonya ne mukazi we; n’abaweereza be abakazi ne balyoka bazaala abaana.
And so Abraham prayde vnto God and God healed Abimeleh and his wyfe and hys maydens so that they bare.
18 Kubanga Mukama yali aggalidde embuto z’ab’omu nnyumba y’Abimereki olwa Saala mukazi wa Ibulayimu.
For the LORde had closed to all the matryces of the house of Abimelech because of Sara Abrahams wyfe.
