Kenehi 20
1 Na ka turia atu e Aperahama i reira ki te whenua i te tonga, a ka noho ki waenganui o Karehe, o Huru, a ka noho ia ki Kerara, he noho manene.
HELE aku la o Aberahama mailaila aku ma ka aina kukuluhema, a noho hoi ia mawaena o Kadesa a o Sura, a ma Gerara kona noho malihini ana.
2 Na ko Hara, ko tana wahine, ka kiia e Aperahama, Ko toku tuahine ia: a ka tonoa mai e Apimereke kingi o Kerara, tangohia atu ana a Hara.
Olelo aku la o Aberahama no kana wahine no Sara, Oia no kuu kaikuwahine: a hoouna mai la o Abimeleka ke alii o Gerara, a lawe aku la ia Sara.
3 Na ka puta moemoea mai te Atua ki a Apimereke i te po, ka mea ki a ia, Nana, ka mate koe mo te wahine i tangohia nei i koe; he wahine hoki ia na te tane.
A hele mai la ke Akua io Abimeleka la ma ka moeuhane i ka po, i mai la ia ia, Aia hoi, he kanaka make oe, no ka wahine au i lawe iho nei, no ka mea, he wahine mea kane ia.
4 Kahore ano ia a Apimereke kia tata noa ki a ia; a ka mea ia, E te Ariki, ka whakamate ano ranei koe i te iwi tika?
Aka, aole i hoopili o Abimeleka ia ia: i aku la oia, E ka Haku, e pepehi mai no hoi oe i ka lahuikanaka hala ole?
5 Kahore ranei ia i mea mai ki ahau, Ko toku tuahine ia? me te wahine hoki, i mea mai ano ia, Ko toku tungane ia: he tapatahi toku ngakau, he harakore hoki oku ringa i mea ai ahau i tenei mea.
Aole anei ia i olelo mai ia'u, O ko'u kaikuwahine ia! a o ka wahine, oia ka i i mai, He kaikunane keia no'u: ma ka manao pono o kuu naau a me ka hala ole o kuu mau lima ka'u i hana aku ai i keia.
6 A ka korero moemoea mai te Atua ki a ia, Ae ra, i mohio tonu ahau he tapatahi tou ngakau i a koe i mea ai i tenei mea; i pupuri hoki ahau i a koe kei hara koe ki ahau; na reira koe te tukua ai e ahau kia pa ki a ia.
I mai la ke Akua ia ia ma ka moeuhane, Oiaio. ke ike nei au, ua hana aku oe i keia ma ka manao pono o kou naau; a ua hoopaa no hoi au ia oe, i ole oe e hana hewa mai ia'u: nolaila, aole au i ae aku ia oe e hoopa ia ia.
7 Na, whakahokia akuanei te wahine a tena tangata; no te mea hoki he poropiti ia, a mana e inoi mou, a ka ora koe: ki te kore e whakahokia e koe, kia mohio koe, ka tino mate koe, koutou ko nga mea katoa i a koe.
No ia mea hoi, e hoihoi aku na ua kanaka la i kana wahine; no ka mea, he kaula ia, a nana no e pule mai nou, i ola ai oe: a i ole oe e hoihoi mai ia ia, alaila e ike pono oe, he oiaio e make no oe, o oe a me ou poe a pau.
8 Na i te ata tu ka maranga a Apimereke, karangatia ana ana tangata katoa, a korerotia ana enei mea katoa ki o ratou taringa: a nui atu te wehi o aua tangata.
Ala ae la o Abimeleka i kakahiaka nui, houluulu ae la i kana poe kauwa a pau, a hai aku la i keia mau mea maloko o ko lakou mau pepeiao: a makau loa iho la na kanaka.
9 Na ka karanga a Apimereke ki a Aperahama, ka mea ki a ia, He mahi aha tenei au ki a matou? a he aha toku hara ki a koe, i takina mai ai e koe he hara nui ki ahau, ki toku kingitanga ano hoki? kua meinga e koe etahi mea ki ahau kahore nei i tika k ia mahia.
Alaila, kahea mai la o Abimeleka ia Aberahama, i mai la ia ia, Heaha kau i hana mai ai ia makou? Heaha hoi ko'u hala in oe, i hooili mai ai oe iluna iho o'u a o ko'u aupuni ka hewa nui? Ua hana mai oe ia'u i na mea pono ole ke hanaia.
10 A ka mea ano a Apimereke ki a Aperahama, I kite koe i te aha i meatia ai tenei mea e koe?
Ninau mai la o Abimeleka ia Aberahama, Heaha kau i ike mai ai, i hana iho ai oe i keia mea?
11 Na ka mea a Aperahama, I mahara hoki ahau, He pono, kahore te wehi o te Atua i tenei wahi; a ka patua ahau e ratou mo taku wahine.
I aku la o Aberahama, No ka mea, i iho la au ma kuu naau, He oiaio, aole ka makau i ke Akua ma keia wahi; a e pepehi mai auanei lakou ia'u no kuu wahine.
12 He pono ano ia he tuahine ia noku, ko te tamahine a toku papa, otiia ehara i te tamahine na toku whaea; a ka noho hei wahine maku:
He oiaio hoi, o ko'u kaikuwahine no ia, ke kaikamahine a kuu makuakane, aole nae ia ke kaikamahine a kuu makuwahine, a lilo mai la ia i wahine na'u.
13 A, i ta te Atua meatanga i ahau kia kopiko haere ake i te whare o toku papa, ka mea ahau ki a ia, Ko tou aroha tenei, hei whakaputa mau ki ahau: hei nga wahi katoa e tae ai taua, korero moku, Ko toku tungane ia.
A i ka manawa a ke Akua i hooanwana mai ai ia'u mai ka hale o ko'u makuakane mai, i aku la au ia ia nei, Eia kou lokomaikai au e hoike mai ai ia'u: i na wahi a pau e hiki aku ai kana, e olelo aku oe no'u, O ko'u kaikunane ia.
14 Na ka tikina e Apimereke he hipi, he kau, he pononga tane, he pononga wahine, a hoatu ana e ia ki a Aperahama, a whakahokia ana e ia a Hara, tana wahine, ki a ia.
Lawe ae la o Abimeleka i na hipa, me na bipikane, i na kauwakane a me na kauwawahine, a haawi mai la ia Aberahama, a hoihoi mai la oia ia Sara kana wahine nana.
15 A ka mea a Apimereke, Nana, kei tou aroaro toku whenua: nohoia e koe te wahi e pai ana ki tau titiro.
I mai la o Abimeleka, Aia hoi, imua ou ko'u aina, e noho ma kahi i makemake ai oe.
16 A ki a Hara i mea ia, Nana, kua hoatu e ahua ki tou tungane kotahi mano nga hiriwa: na, hei uhi tena mo ou kanohi ki nga tangata katoa i a koe; hei tohu hoki mo tou tika i katoa.
I mai la hoi oia ia Sara, Aia hoi, ua haawi iho nei au i na apana kala he tausani na kou kaikunane: aia hoi, he mea pale maka ia nou imua o ka poe a pau me oe, a me na mea a pau: pela oia i aoia mai ai.
17 Katahi ka inoi a Aperahama ki te Atua: na kua ora i te Atua a Apimereke, ratou ko tana wahine, ko ana pononga wahine; a ka whanau tamariki ratou.
Pule aku la o Aberahama i ke Akua: a hoola mai la ke Akua ia Abimeleka, me kana wahine a me kana poe kauwawahine; a hanaukeiki lakou.
18 Kua tutakina rawatia hoki e Ihowa nga kopu katoa o te whare o Apimereke, mo Hara, mo te wahine a Aperahama.
No ka mea, ua papaniia e Iehova na opu o na wahine a pau o ka hale o Abimeleka, no Sara ka wahine a Aberahama.
