Mwanzo 20
1 Abraham akasafiri kutoka pale hadi nchi ya Negebu, na akakaa kati ya Kadeshi na Shuri. Akawa mgeni akiishi Gerari.
And he set out from there Abraham [the] land of towards the Negev and he dwelt between Kadesh and between Shur and he sojourned in Gerar.
2 Abraham akasema kususu mkewe Sara, “ni dada yangu.” Kwa hiyo Abimeleki mfalme wa Gerari akatuma watu wake kumchukua Sara.
And he said Abraham concerning Sarah wife his [is] sister my she and he sent Abimelech [the] king of Gerar and he took Sarah.
3 Lakini Mungu akamtokea Abimeleki usiku katika ndoto, akamwambia, “Tazama, wewe ni mfu kutokana na mwanamke uliye mchukua, kwa kuwa ni mke wa mtu.”
And he came God to Abimelech in a dream the night and he said to him here you [are] about to die on the woman whom you have taken and she [is] married of a husband.
4 Basi Abimeleki alikuwa bado hajamkaribia hivyo akasema, “Bwana, Je utaua hata taifa lenye haki?
And Abimelech not he had drawn near to her and he said O Lord ¿ a nation also righteous will you kill.
5 Je si yeye mwenyewe aliye niambia, 'Sara ni dada yangu?' Hata Sara mwenyewe alisema, 'ni kaka yangu.' Nimefanya hili katika uadilifu wa moyo wangu na katika mikono isiyo na hatia.”
¿ Not he did he say to me [is] sister my she and she also she she said [is] brother my he in [the] integrity of heart my and in [the] innocence of hands my I have done this.
6 Kisha Mungu akasema naye katika ndoto, “Kweli, ninajua pia kwamba umefanya hili katika uadilifu wa moyo wako, na pia nilikuzuia usitende dhambi dhidi yangu mimi. Ndiyo maana sikuruhusu umshike.
And he said to him God in a dream also I I know that in [the] integrity of heart your you did this and I have restrained also I you from sinning to me there-fore not I have permitted you to touch her.
7 Kwa hiyo, mrudishe huyo mke wa mtu, kwa kuwa ni nabii. Atakuombea, na utaishi. Lakini usipo mrudisha, ujuwe kwamba wewe pamoja na wote walio wa kwako mtakufa hakika.
And therefore return [the] wife of the man for [is] a prophet he so he may pray for you and live and if not [are] you returning [her] know that certainly you will die you and all who [belong] to you.
8 Abimeleki akaamka asubuhi na mapema akawaita watumishi wake wote waje kwake. Akawasimulia mambo haya yote, na watu wale wakaogopa sana.
And he rose early Abimelech in the morning and he summoned all servants his and he spoke all the words these in ears their and they were afraid the men exceedingly.
9 Kisha Abimeleki akamwita Abraham na kumwambia, “Umetufanyia jambo gani? Ni kwa jinsi gani nimekutenda dhambi kwamba umeniletea mimi na ufalme wangu dhambi hii kubwa? Umenifanyia mimi jambo ambalo halipaswi kufanywa.”
And he summoned Abimelech Abraham and he said to him what? have you done to us and what? have I sinned to you for you have brought on me and on kingdom my a sin great deeds which not they will be done you have done with me.
10 Abimeleki akamwambia Abraham, “Nini kilikushawishi wewe kutenda jambo hili?”
And he said Abimelech to Abraham what? did you see that you have done the thing this.
11 Abraham akasema, “Ni kwasababu nilifikiri hakika hakuna hofu ya Mungu katika sehemu hii, na kwamba wataniua kwa ajili ya mke wangu.'
And he said Abraham that I said certainly there not [is] [the] fear of God in the place this and they will kill me on [the] matter of wife my.
12 Licha ya kwamba kweli ni dada yangu, binti wa baba yangu, ingawa si binti wa mama yangu; na ndiye alifanyika kuwa mke wangu.
And also truly [is] sister my [the] daughter of father my she only not [the] daughter of mother my and she became of me a wife.
13 Wakati Mungu aliponiondoa katika nyumba ya baba yangu na kusafiri kutoka mahali kwenda mahali pengine, nilimwambia mke wangu, kwa kila sehemu tutakayo kwenda, unioneshe uaminifu wako kama mke wangu: Kila mahali tutakapo kwenda, useme juu yangu kuwa, “Ni kaka yangu.”'''
And it was just as they caused to wander me God from [the] household of father my and I said to her this [is] loyalty your which you will do with me to every place where we will go there towards say of me [is] brother my he.
14 Ndipo Abimeleki akatwaa kondoo, maksai, watumwa wa kiume na wa kike akampatia Abraham. Basi Abimeleki akamrudisha Sara, mke wa Abraham.
And he took Abimelech sheep and cattle and [male] servants and female servants and he gave [them] to Abraham and he restored to him Sarah wife his.
15 Abimeleki akasema, Tazama, Nchi yangu i mbele yako. Kaa mahali utakapopendezewa.”
And he said Abimelech there! land my [is] before you in the [place] good in view your dwell.
16 Na kwa Sara akasema, Tazama, nimempatia kaka yako vipande elfu vya fedha. Navyo ni kwa ajili ya kufunika kosa lolote dhidi yako machoni pa wote walio pamoja na wewe, na mbele ya kila mtu ambaye umemfanya kuwa na haki.”
And to Sarah he said here! I give a thousand silver to brother your there! it for you [is] a covering of eyes to all who [are] with you and with everyone [you are] vindicated.
17 Kisha Abraham akaomba kwa Mungu, Na Mungu akamponya Abimeleki, mkewe, na watumwa wake wa kike kiasi kwamba wakaweza kupata watoto.
And he prayed Abraham to God and he healed God Abimelech and wife his and female slaves his and they bore children.
18 Kwa kuwa Yahwe alikuwa amewafanya wanawake wote wa nyumaba ya Abimeleki kuwa tasa kabisa, kwa sababu ya Sara, mke wa Abraham.
For certainly had shut up Yahweh behind every womb of [the] household of Abimelech on [the] matter of Sarah [the] wife of Abraham.
