UGenesisi 20
1 U-Abhrahama wathutha kuleyondawo waya emangweni waseNegebi wayahlala phakathi kweKhadeshi leShuri. Okwesikhatshana wake wahlala eGerari,
Basa ma, Abraham lali mia Mamre, nisiꞌ rae Negeb seriꞌ ona, de leo sia kambo Kades no Sur taladꞌa na. Te nda dooꞌ sa ma, ana lali nisiꞌ kambo Gerar fai.
2 lapho u-Abhrahama athi khona ngomkakhe uSara, “Ngudadewethu.” Ngakho u-Abhimelekhi inkosi yaseGerari yathi uSara kalethwe, yazithathela.
Nafadꞌe atahori sia naa nae, Sara naa, eni odꞌi na. Naa de, Abimelek, mane Gerar a, denu atahori nara reu roꞌe Sara, fo ro e nisiꞌ ume panggat na.
3 Kodwa uNkulunkulu wafika ku-Abhimelekhi ephutsheni ebusuku wathi kuye, “Usufile wena ngenxa yomfazi omthetheyo; ngumfazi womnikazi.”
Tetembaꞌ esa, Lamatualain natudꞌu Aon neu maneꞌ sia meit. Ana olaꞌ nae, “Ho mae mate, ia ena! Huu haꞌi mala atahori sao na.”
4 Kodwa u-Abhimelekhi wayelokhu engakamthinti, ngakho wathi, “Thixo, uzasibhubhisa isizwe esimsulwa na?
Te Abimelek naselu nae, “Lamatualain! Au nda feꞌe kois inaꞌ naa sa. Au nda sala sa. Abraham mana nae, inaꞌ naa eni odꞌi na. Ma inaꞌ naa o nataa taꞌo naa boe. Naa de, au denu reu haꞌi e no rala meuꞌ. Dadꞌi Lamatualain afiꞌ fee salaꞌ neu au!”
5 Katshongo kimi yini wathi, ‘Ngudadewethu,’ laye katshongo na wathi, ‘Ungumnewethu?’ Lokhu ngikwenze ngenhliziyo emsulwa langezandla ezimhlophe.”
6 Ngalokho uNkulunkulu wasesithi kuye ephutsheni, “Yebo, ngiyakwazi ukuthi lokhu ukwenze ngenhliziyo emsulwa, yikho ngikuthintile ukuthi ungenzi isono kimi. Yikho ngingakuyekelanga wamthinta.
Lamatualain nataa nae, “Memaꞌ Au bubꞌuluꞌ rala ma ndos. Naa de, Au tao fo ho afiꞌ kois inaꞌ naa. Naa fo, ho nda tao salaꞌ neu Au saꞌ boe.
7 Manje mbuyisele umfazi womuntu, ngoba umuntu lowo ungumphrofethi, uzakukhulekela ukuthi uphile. Kodwa nxa ungambuyiseli, yazi ukuthi wena lakho konke okungokwakho kuzakufa.”
Ia naa, haitua baliꞌ inaꞌ naa neu sao na. Eni, Au mana ola-ola Ngga. De moꞌe fo ana hule-oꞌe fee nggo fo afiꞌ mate. Te mete ma ho nda fee baliꞌ inaꞌ naa sa, musunedꞌa malolole! Te ho mo basa atahori mara, mate a ia ena.”
8 Kusisa ngelanga elilandelayo ekuseni kakhulu, u-Abhimelekhi wabiza zonke izikhulu zakhe, kwathi esezitshelile konke okwenzakeleyo, zesaba kakhulu.
Mbila fefetu ana naa, maneꞌ a noꞌe basa pagau nara, de dui meit na. Boe ma basa se ramatau.
9 U-Abhimelekhi wasebiza u-Abhrahama wathi, “Ukwenzeleni lokhu kithi na? Ngikone ngani uze ulethe ukona okunje phezu kwami lombuso wami na? Wenze kimi izinto okungafanelanga zenziwe.”
Basa ma maneꞌ a noꞌe Abraham, de natane nae, “Au tao salaꞌ saa neu nggo, losa muꞌusususaꞌ au o manggarau nggara taꞌo ia? Ho afiꞌ tao dala deꞌulakaꞌ onaꞌ ia.
10 U-Abhimelekhi wabuza u-Abhrahama wathi, “Besiyini isizatho sakho sokwenza lokhu na?”
Ho duꞌa saa, losa ho tao taꞌo ia?”
11 U-Abhrahama waphendula wathi, “Ngazitshela ngathi, ‘Ngempela kakukho ukumesaba uNkulunkulu kule indawo njalo bazangibulala ngenxa yomkami.’
Abraham nataa nae, “Ama maneꞌ! Au duꞌa basa hei nda mihine Lamatualain sa. De neꞌo ruma rae tao risa au, fo haꞌi rala sao ngga.
12 Ngaphandle kwalokho, uvele ungudadewethu, indodakazi kababa kodwa engasuye kamama; waba ngumkami.
Memaꞌ au olaꞌ tebꞌe, ae eni, au odꞌi ngga. Hai ruꞌa nggi amaꞌ esa, te esaꞌ ina na. Naa de, hai esa sao esa.
13 Kwathi uNkulunkulu esengisusile emzini kababa ngathi kuSara, ‘Nansi indlela ongatshengisa ngayo uthando lwakho kimi: Noma ngaphi lapho esiya khona, ubokuthi ngami, “Ungumnewethu.”’”
Dadꞌi leleꞌ Lamatualain denu hai misiꞌ mamana dodꞌooꞌ, au ufadꞌe sao ngga ae, ‘Mete ma hai mii sia bee-bꞌee, fo atahori ratane hai ruꞌa nggi neꞌebꞌue ma, mete ma ho sue au, naa mutaa mae hita odꞌi-aꞌa.’”
14 U-Abhimelekhi waseletha izimvu lenkomo, lezisebenzi zesilisa lezesifazane wazipha u-Abhrahama, wabuyisela uSara umkakhe kuye.
Basa ma, mane Abimelek fee baliꞌ Sara. Ana olaꞌ no e nae, “Ia naa, au bae aꞌa ma doi fulaꞌ rifon esa, fo dadꞌi bukti oi, au nda tao salaꞌ saa-saa o nggo saꞌ boe. Naa fo, basa atahori rahine boe!” Maneꞌ a o olaꞌ no Abraham nae, “Abraham! Au nusa ngga ia, nenesoiꞌ soa neu nggo. Mae muu leo sia bee o, neu.” Ana fee Abraham sapi ma hiek-lombo. Ana o fee ate inaꞌ ma touꞌ boe.
15 Njalo u-Abhimelekhi wathi, “Nanti ilizwe lami uyalibona; ungahlala lapho othanda khona.”
16 Wathi kuSara, “Umnewenu ngimupha amashekeli esiliva ayinkulungwane. Le iyinhlawulo yehlazo elenziwe kuwe phambi kwabantu bonke bakini; usugeziwe.”
17 U-Abhrahama wasekhuleka kuNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu wamsilisa u-Abhimelekhi, lomkakhe lezigqili zakhe zesifazane ukuthi babelabantwana njalo,
Fefeu na, LAMATUALAIN ena mamana anaꞌ mia basa inaꞌ mana sia Abimelek nusa na, huu ana rambas nala Abraham sao na. Ana fee baliꞌ Sara nisiꞌ sao na ma, Abraham hule-oꞌe, de Lamatualain soi baliꞌ inaꞌ ra mamana ana nara. De ara bisa bꞌonggi seluꞌ fai.
18 ngoba uThixo wayevale bonke abesifazane bendlu ka-Abhimelekhi inzalo ngenxa yomka-Abhrahama, uSara.
