Genesisy 20
1 Dia nifindra niala teo Abrahama nankany amin’ ny tany atsimo ka nitoetra teo anelanelan’ i Kadesy sy Sora ary nivahiny tao Gerara izy.
Abraham journeyed from there toward the land of the Negev, and lived between Kadesh and Shur. He was a foreigner living in Gerar.
2 Ary hoy ny filazan’ i Abrahama an’ i Saraha vadiny: Anabaviko izy; dia naniraka Abimeleka, mpanjakan’ i Gerara, nampaka an’ i Saraha.
Abraham said concerning Sarah his wife, “She is my sister.” So Abimelech king of Gerar sent for Sarah and took her.
3 Fa Andriamanitra nankeo amin’ i Abimeleka, tamin’ ny nofy nony alina, ka nanao taminy hoe: Indro, fa ho faty ianao noho ny vehivavy izay nalainao, fa vadin’ olona izy.
But God came to Abimelech in a dream in 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 Fa Abimeleka anefa tsy mbola nanakaiky azy, ka hoy izy: Tompo ô, hovonoinao koa va izay firenena marina?
Now Abimelech had not come near her and he said, “Lord, would you kill even a righteous nation?
5 Tsy ralehilahy va no nilaza tamiko hoe: Anabaviko izy? ary ravahivavy koa nanao hoe: Anadahiko izy; koa tamin’ ny fahatsoran’ ny foko sy ny fahadiovan’ ny tanako no nanaovako izany.
Did he not himself say to me, 'She is my sister?' 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 Ary hoy Andriamanitra taminy tamin’ ny nofy: Eny ary, fantatro ihany fa tamin’ ny fahatsoran’ ny fonao no nanaovanao izany; ary Izaho kosa dia niaro anao mba tsy hanota amiko; koa izany no tsy namelako anao hanendry azy.
Then God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I also know that in the integrity of your heart you did this, and I also kept you from sinning against me. Therefore I did not allow you to touch her.
7 Ary ankehitriny avereno ny vadin-dralehilahy, fa mpaminany izy ka hifona ho anao, dia ho velona ianao; fa raha tsy averinao izy, aoka ho fantatrao fa ho faty tokoa ianao, dia ianao mbamin’ izay rehetra mety ho anao.
Therefore, return the man's wife, for he is a prophet. He will pray for you, and you will live. But if you do not restore her, know that you and all who are yours will surely die.”
8 Dia nifoha maraina koa Abimeleka ka niantso ny mpanompony rehetra ary nanambara izany rehetra izany teo anatrehany; ka dia raiki-tahotra indrindra ny olona.
Abimelech rose early in the morning and called all of his servants to himself. He told all these things to them, and the men were very afraid.
9 Ary Abimeleka dia nampaka an’ i Abrahama ka nanao taminy hoe: Inona izao nataonao taminay izao? ary inona izao ratsy nataoko taminao izao no dia nahatonga heloka lehibe tamiko sy tamin’ ny fanjakako ianao? zavatra izay tsy tokony hatao no nataonao tamiko.
Then Abimelech called for 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 to me that which ought not to be done.”
10 Ary hoy koa Abimeleka tamin’ i Abrahama: Inona no hitanao, no nanao izany zavatra izany ianao?
Abimelech said to Abraham, “What prompted you to do this thing?”
11 Dia hoy Abrahama: Satria hoy izaho: Tsy misy fahatahorana an’ Andriamanitra tokoa amin’ ity tany ity, ka hovonoin’ ny olona aho noho ny amin’ ny vadiko.
Abraham said, “Because I thought, 'Surely there is no fear of God in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.'
12 Nefa anabaviko ihany tokoa izy, satria zanakavavin’ ny raiko, fa tsy mba zanakavavin’ ny reniko; ka dia nanambady azy aho.
Besides, she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
13 Ary raha nampifindrafindra ahy hiala tamin’ ny tranon’ ny raiko Andriamanitra, dia hoy izaho tamin’ ny vadiko: Izao no soa hataonao amiko any amin’ izay tany rehetra halehantsika dia lazao aho hoe: Anadahiko izy.
When God caused me to leave my father's house and travel from place to place, I said to her, 'You must show me this faithfulness as my wife: At every place where we go, say about me, “He is my brother.”'”
14 Ary Abimeleka naka ondry sy omby sy ankizilahy ary ankizivavy, ka nomeny an’ i Abrahama ireny; ary Saraha vadiny dia naveriny teo aminy.
Then Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and male and female slaves, and gave them to Abraham. Then he returned Sarah, Abraham's wife, to him.
15 Ary hoy Abimeleka: Indro, eo anoloanao ny taniko; mitoera eo amin’ izay tianao.
Abimelech said, “Look, my land is before you. Settle wherever it pleases you.”
16 Ary hoy kosa izy tamin’ i Saraha: Indro, efa nomeko sekely volafotsy arivo ny anadahinao; indro, ho fanampena-maso aminao izany, dia amin’ izay rehetra momba anao: ka dia efa nahazo ny rariny ianao ny amin’ izany rehetra izany.
To Sarah he said, “Look, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver. It is to cover any offense against you in the eyes of all that are with you, and before everyone, you are completely made right.”
17 Ary Abrahama dia nifona tamin’ Andriamanitra; ary Andriamanitra nahasitrana an’ i Abimeleka sy ny vadiny mbamin’ ny mpanompovaviny; dia niteraka izy ireo.
Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, his wife, and his female slaves so that they were able to have children.
18 Fa Jehovah efa nahamomba tokoa ny vehivavy rehetra tamin’ ny ankohonan’ i Abimeleka noho ny amin’ i Saraha, vadin’ i Abrahama.
For Yahweh had caused all the women of the household of Abimelech to be completely infertile, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.
