Olubereberye 20

1 Ibulayimu bwe yava eyo n’atambula okwolekera Negevu, n’abeera wakati wa Kadesi ne Ssuuli; n’agenda mu Gerali.

Pea naʻe fononga ʻa ʻEpalahame mei ai, ki he fonua ʻi he feituʻu tonga, pea nofo ia ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Ketesi mo Sua, pea ʻāunofo ia ʻi Kela.

2 Ibulayimu n’ayogera ku Saala mukazi we nti, “Mwannyinaze.” Abimereki kabaka we Gerali n’atumya n’atwala Saala.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻEpalahame [ʻi heʻene lau ]ki hono uaifi ko Sela, “Ko hoku tuofefine ia:” pea fekauʻi ʻe ʻApimeleki, ko e tuʻi ʻo Kela, ʻo ne ʻave ʻa Sela.

3 Naye Katonda n’ajja eri Abimereki mu kirooto ekiro n’amugamba nti, “Laba oli mufu, olw’omukazi gw’otutte kubanga muka musajja.”

Ka naʻe hā mai ʻae ʻOtua kia ʻApimeleki ʻi he misi ʻi he pō, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Vakai ko e tangata mate koe, koeʻuhi ko e fefine kuo ke toʻo, he ko e uaifi ia ʻo ha tangata.”

4 Naye Abimereki yali tanneebaka naye, n’alyoka agamba nti, “Onotta abantu abataliiko musango.

Ka naʻe teʻeki ai ofi ʻa ʻApimeleki kiate ia: pea pehē ʻe ia, “E ʻEiki, te ke fakaʻauha foki ʻae puleʻanga māʻoniʻoni?

5 Si yeyaŋŋamba nti, ‘Mwannyinaze?’ Era ne Saala n’aŋŋamba nti, ‘Mwannyina.’ Kino nkikoze mu mutima omutuukirivu n’emikono gyange tegiriiko musango.”

‌ʻIkai naʻa ne pehē mai kiate au, ‘Ko hoku tuofefine ia?’ Mo e fefine, naʻe pehē ʻe ia, ‘Ko hoku tuongaʻane ia;’ ʻi he totonu ʻa hoku loto, mo e māʻoniʻoni ʻa hoku nima kuo u fai ʻae meʻa ni.”

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.

Pea pehē ʻe he ʻOtua kiate ia ʻi he misi, “ʻIo, ʻoku ou ʻilo naʻa ke fai ia ʻi he anga totonu, he naʻaku taʻofi koe foki ke ʻoua naʻa ke fai hala kiate au; ko ia naʻe ʻikai te u tuku koe ke ke ala kiate ia.

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.”

Pea ko eni, ke ke toe ʻatu ki he tangata hono uaifi; he ko e palōfita ia, pea te ne hūfia koe, pea te ke moʻui: pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke toe ʻatu ia, ke ke ʻilo ko e moʻoni te ke mate, ʻa koe mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻoʻou.”

8 Awo Abimereki n’agolokoka mu makya ennyo n’ayita abakungu be bonna n’abategeeza ebintu bino byonna; abasajja ne batya nnyo.

Ko ia naʻe tuʻu hengihengi hake ai ʻa ʻApimeleki, ʻo ne ui ʻene kau nofoʻanga kotoa pē, ʻo ne fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē; pea naʻa nau manavahē lahi.

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.”

Pea fekau ʻe ʻApimeleki ke haʻu ʻa ʻEpalahame, pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā eni kuo ke fai kiate kimautolu? Pea ko e hā ha kovi naʻaku fai kiate koe, ke ke ʻomi ai kiate au mo hoku puleʻanga ʻae hala lahi ni? Kuo ke fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa kiate au ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai lelei ke fai.”

10 Era Abimereki n’agamba Ibulayimu nti, “Wali olowooza ki okukola ekintu kino?”

Pea fehuʻi ʻe ʻApimeleki kia ʻEpalahame ʻo ne pehē, ‘Ko e hā ʻae meʻa naʻe hā kiate koe, koeʻuhi ke ke fai ai ʻae meʻa ni?’

11 Ibulayimu n’addamu nti, “Nakikola kubanga nalowooza nti mu kifo kino temuliimu kutya Katonda n’akamu, era balinzita olwa mukazi wange.

Pea talaange ʻe ʻEpalahame, “Naʻaku pehē ʻi hoku loto, Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he potu ni, ʻae manavahē ki he ʻOtua; pea te nau tāmateʻi au, koeʻuhi ko hoku uaifi.

12 Naze ebyo nga biri awo ddala mwannyinaze, muwala wa kitange, naye si muwala wa mmange; era yafuuka mukazi wange.

Ka ko e moʻoni pe ko hoku tuofefine ia: he ko e ʻofefine ia ʻo ʻeku tamai, ka ʻoku ʻikai ko e tama ʻa ʻeku faʻē ʻaʻaku pea naʻe hoko ia ko hoku uaifi.

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.’”

Pea ʻi he fakahēʻi au ʻe he ʻOtua mei he fale ʻo ʻeku tamai, naʻaku pehē kiate ia, Ko hoʻo ʻofa eni, te ke fakahā kiate au; ʻi he potu kotoa pē te ta hoko ki ai, te ke fakahā au, ʻo pehē, Ko hoku tuongaʻane ia.”

14 Awo Abimereki n’atwala endiga n’ente, abaweereza abasajja n’abaweereza abakazi, n’abiwa Ibulayimu, n’amuddiza Saala mukyala we.

Pea toʻo ʻe ʻApimeleki ʻae fanga sipi, mo e fanga pulu, mo e kau tamaioʻeiki, mo e kau kaunanga ʻo ne foaki ʻakinautolu kia ʻEpalahame, mo ne toe atu kiate ia ʻa Sela ko hono uaifi.

15 Era Abimereki n’amugamba nti, “Laba ensi yange eri mu maaso go, beera w’oyagala.”

Pea pehēange ʻe ʻApimeleki, “Vakai, ʻoku ʻi ho ʻao hoku fonua kotoa pē; faʻiteliha ko e hā potu te ke nofo ki ai.”

16 N’agamba ne Saala nti, “Laba mpadde mwannyoko ebitundu bya ffeeza lukumi, okukumalako ensonyi mu maaso gaabo bonna abali naawe.”

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kia Sela, “Vakai, kuo u foaki ki ho tuongaʻane ʻae [konga ]siliva ʻe afe: vakai ʻoku ʻiate koe ia, ko e pūlou ki ho mata kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate koe mo e [kakai ]kotoa pē naʻe pehē ʻa hono valokia ia.”

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.

Pea lotu ʻa ʻEpalahame ki he ʻOtua pea fakamoʻui ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa ʻApimeleki, mo hono uaifi, mo ʻene kau kaunanga; pea naʻa nau fanafanau.

18 Kubanga Mukama yali aggalidde embuto z’ab’omu nnyumba y’Abimereki olwa Saala mukazi wa Ibulayimu.

He ne kuo pupuni ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae manāva kotoa pē ʻi he fale ʻo ʻApimeleki, koeʻuhi ko Sela, ko e uaifi ʻo ʻEpalahame.
