UGenesisi 20
1 UAbrahama wasesuka lapho waya elizweni leningizimu, wahlala phakathi kweKadeshi leShuri wahlala njengowezizwe eGerari.
Ugbu a, Ebraham sitere nʼebe ahụ bilie gaa na mpaghara Negev biri nʼebe dị nʼagbata Kadesh na Shua. Ọ nọrọ nʼobodo Gera nwa oge nta.
2 UAbrahama wasesithi ngoSara umkakhe: Ungudadewethu. UAbhimeleki inkosi yeGerari wathuma-ke, wathatha uSara.
Nʼebe ahụ, Ebraham kwuru maka Sera, nwunye ya, sị “Ọ bụ nwanne m nwanyị.” Abimelek, eze Gera, ziri ozi kpọrọ Sera.
3 Kodwa uNkulunkulu weza kuAbhimeleki ephutsheni ebusuku, wathi kuye: Khangela, ufile ngenxa yowesifazana omthetheyo, ngoba uganile endodeni.
Ma Chineke bịakwutere Abimelek na nrọ nʼanyasị, sị ya, “Onye nwụrụ anwụ ka ị bụ, nʼihi nwanyị nke ị kpọọrọ, nwanyị a bụ onye nwere di.”
4 Kodwa uAbhimeleki wayengasondelanga kuye. Ngakho wathi: Nkosi, uzabhubhisa lesizwe esilungileyo yini?
Ma Abimelek abịabeghị Sera nso, ya mere o ji sị, “Onyenwe m, ị ga-ebibi mba aka ya dị ọcha?
5 Kayisuye yini othe kimi: Ungudadewethu? Laye uqobo wasesithi: Ungumnewethu. Ngobuqotho benhliziyo yami langobuhlophe bezandla zami ngikwenzile lokhu.
Ọ bụ na ya onwe ya agwaghị m sị, ‘ọ bụ nwanne m nwanyị,’ nke nwanyị nʼonwe ya, ekwuokwa sị, ‘Nwanne m nwoke ka ọ bụ?’ E ji m uche dị ọcha na aka dị ọcha mee ihe niile m mere.”
6 UNkulunkulu wasesithi kuye ephutsheni: Lami sengazile ukuthi ngobuqotho benhliziyo yakho ukwenzile lokhu; lami futhi ngikuvimbele ukuze ungoni kimi; ngenxa yalokhu kangikuvumelanga ukuthi umthinte.
Chineke zara ya sị, “Amaara m na i ji uche dị ọcha mee ihe i mere. Ọ bụ ya mere m ji gbochie gị imehie megide m. Ọ bụkwa ya mere m ji gbochie gị ịmetụ ya aka.
7 Ngakho-ke buyisela umfazi wendoda, ngoba ingumprofethi; njalo izakukhulekela ukuze uphile; kodwa uba ungambuyiseli, yazi ukuthi isibili uzakufa wena labo bonke abangabakho.
Ugbu a, nyeghachi nwoke a nwunye ya. Nʼihi na ọ bụ onye amụma. Ọ ga-ekpere gị ekpere, ka ị ghara ịnwụ. Ma ọ bụrụ na i dughachịghị nwanyị a nye di ya, unu ga-anwụ, gị na ndị gị niile.”
8 UAbhimeleki wasevuka ekuseni kakhulu, wabiza zonke inceku zakhe, wakhuluma wonke la amazwi endlebeni zazo; njalo amadoda esaba kakhulu.
Ya mere, Abimelek biliri nʼisi ụtụtụ echi ya, kpọọ nzukọ nke ndịisi ozi ya niile, kọọrọ ha ihe mere. Ha tụrụ ụjọ nke ukwuu.
9 UAbhimeleki wasembiza uAbrahama, wathi kuye: Wenzeni kithi? Ngoneni kuwe ukuthi ungilethele mina lombuso wami isono esikhulu? Wenze kimi izenzo ezingafanelanga ukwenziwa.
Emesịa, Abimelek kpọbatara Ebraham sị ya, “Gịnị bụ ihe a i mere anyị? Gịnị bụ ihe ọjọọ m mere i ji butere mụ na alaeze m ihe oke ikpe ọmụma dị otu a? Ihe a i mere m bụ ihe na-ekwesighị ekwesi.”
10 UAbhimeleki wasesithi kuAbrahama: Uboneni, uze wenze into le?
Abimelek jụrụ Ebraham sị, “Ọ bụ gịnị ka ị hụrụ i jiri mee omume dị otu a?”
11 UAbrahama wasesithi: Ngoba ngacabanga ukuthi: Isibili ukwesaba uNkulunkulu kakukho kulindawo; njalo bazangibulala ngenxa yomkami.
Ebraham zara ya, “Nʼihi na asịrị m nʼobi m, ‘Nʼezie, ịtụ egwu Chineke adịghị nʼebe a. Ha ga-egbu m nʼihi nwunye m.’
12 Kanti-ke isibili ungudadewethu, uyindodakazi kababa, kodwa kasiyo indodakazi kamama; wasesiba ngumkami.
Ewezugakwa nke a, ọ bụ nwanna m nwanyị, nʼihi na otu nna mụrụ anyị, ma ọ bụghị otu nne, tupu ọ bụrụ nwunye m.
13 Kwasekusithi mhla uNkulunkulu engizulisa ngisuka endlini kababa ngasengisithi kuye: Lo ngumusa ozawenza kimi, kuzo zonke indawo esizafika kuzo, uthi ngami: Ungumnewethu.
Mgbe Chineke sitere nʼezinaụlọ nna m zipụ m ije ebe dị anya, agwara m ya sị, ‘Otu a ka ị ga-esi gosi na ị hụrụ m nʼanya, ebe ọbụla anyị gara, kwuo gbasara m, “Onye a bụ nwanne m.”’”
14 UAbhimeleki wasethatha izimvu lezinkomo lezinceku lezincekukazi, wapha uAbrahama, wambuyisela uSara umkakhe.
Mgbe ahụ, Abimelek dupụtara atụrụ, na ehi, na ndị ohu ndị ikom, na ndị ohu ndị inyom, nye Ebraham. Ọ kpọnyekwara ya Sera nwunye ya.
15 UAbhimeleki wasesithi: Khangela, ilizwe lami liphambi kwakho; hlala lapho okuhle khona emehlweni akho.
Abimelek sịrị, “Lee nʼala m niile, birikwa nʼebe ọbụla masịrị gị.”
16 LakuSara wathi: Khangela, ngimnikile umnewenu inhlamvu zesiliva eziyinkulungwane; khangela, uyisisibekelo samehlo kuwe, kuye wonke olawe, labo bonke, njalo ukhuziwe.
Mgbe ahụ, ọ sịrị Sera, “Ana m enye nwanne gị puku shekel ọlaọcha, ka ọ bụrụ ihe m ji kwụọ ụgwọ mmeso ọjọọ m mesoro gị. Ejikwa m ya na-egosi na ị bụ onye aka ya dị ọcha.”
17 UAbrahama wasekhuleka kuNkulunkulu; uNkulunkulu wasemsilisa uAbhimeleki lomkakhe lencekukazi zakhe, ukuze bazale.
Mgbe ahụ, Ebraham kpọkuru Chineke nʼekpere. Chineke gwọrọ Abimelek na nwunye ya, na ndị inyom ndị ohu ya niile, ka ha nwee ike ịmụta ụmụ ọzọ.
18 Ngoba iNkosi yayizivalile ngokupheleleyo izizalo zonke zabendlu kaAbhimeleki ngenxa kaSara umkaAbrahama.
Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị mechiri akpanwa ndị inyom niile nọ nʼezinaụlọ Abimelek nʼihi Sera nwunye Ebraham.
