< Genesis 20 >

1 Naglakbay si Abraham mula roon patungo sa lupain ng Negeb, at nanirahan sa pagitan ng Kadesh at Sur. Isa siyang dayuhan na naninirahan sa Gerar.
And Abraham journeyed from there toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.
2 Sinabi ni Abraham patungkol sa kanyang asawa na si Sarah, “Kapatid ko siya.” Kaya nagpadala si Abimelech hari ng Gerar, ng kanyang mga tauhan at kinuha nila si Sarah.
And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
3 Pero kinagabihan, pumunta ang Diyos kay Abimelech sa kanyang panaginip at sinabi sa kanya, “Masdan mo, ikaw ay mamamatay dahil sa babae na kinuha mo dahil siya ay asawa ng lalaki.”
But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, you are but a dead man, for the woman which you have taken; for she is a man’s wife.
4 Ngayon, hindi nilapitan ni Abimelech si Sarah at sinabi niya, “Panginoon, papatayin mo rin ba ang matuwid na bansa?
But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, LORD, will you slay also a righteous nation?
5 Hindi ba sinabi niya mismo sa akin, 'Kapatid ko siya?'Kahit si Sarah, sinabi niya rin mismo sa akin na, 'Kapatid ko siya.' Nagawa ko ito sa katapatan ng aking puso at kamusmusan ng aking mga kamay.”
Said he not to me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocence of my hands have I done this.
6 Pagkatapos, sinabi ng Diyos sa kanya sa panaginip, “Oo, alam ko na sa katapatan ng iyong puso na nagawa mo ito at hindi ko hinayaang magkasala ka sa akin. Kaya hindi ko hinayaang mahawakan mo siya.
And God said to him in a dream, Yes, I know that you did this in the integrity of your heart; for I also withheld you from sinning against me: therefore suffered I you not to touch her.
7 Kaya ibalik mo ang asawa ng lalaki, dahil siya ay isang propeta. Ipananalangin ka niya at mabubuhay ka. Pero kung hindi mo siya ibabalik, alam mo na ikaw at ang lahat ng nasa iyo ay tiyak na mamamatay.”
Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for you, and you shall live: and if you restore her not, know you that you shall surely die, you, and all that are yours.
8 Bumangon si Abimelech nang maaga at pinapunta ang lahat ng kanyang lingkod sa kanya. Sinabi niya ang lahat ng mga bagay na ito sa kanila, at matinding takot ang naramdaman ng kanyang mga lingkod.
Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid.
9 Pagkatapos, tinawag ni Abimelech si Abraham at sinabi sa kanya,” Ano itong ginawa mo sa amin? Paano ako nagkasala sa iyo, na nagdala ka sa akin at sa aking kaharian ng matinding kasalanan? Ginawa mo sa akin ang hindi dapat gawin.”
Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him, What have you done to us? and what have I offended you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? you have done deeds to me that should not to be done.
10 Sinabi ni Abimelech kay Abraham, “Ano ang nagtulak sa iyo na gawin mo ang bagay na ito?”
And Abimelech said to Abraham, What saw you, that you have done this thing?
11 Sumagot si Abraham, “Dahil naisip ko, 'Tiyak na walang kinatatakutan na Diyos ang mga tao sa lugar na ito at papatayin nila ako dahil sa aking asawa.'
And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife’s sake.
12 Bukod pa rito, tunay na siya ay kapatid ko, ang anak na babae ng aking ama, pero hindi anak ng aking ina; at siya ay aking naging asawa.
And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
13 Nang pinaalis ako ng Diyos sa bahay ng aking ama at naglakbay mula sa ibat-ibang lugar, sinabi ko kanya, 'Dapat mong ipakita ang katapatang ito sa akin bilang aking asawa: Sa bawat lugar na pupuntahan natin, sabihin mo na “'Kapatid ko siya.''''
And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father’s house, that I said to her, This is your kindness which you shall show to me; at every place where we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.
14 Pagkatapos, kumuha si Abimelech ng mga tupa at mga baka, mga aliping lalaki at mga babae at ibinigay ang mga ito kay Abraham. Pagkatapos, ibinalik niya sa kanya si Sarah na asawa ni Abraham.
And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
15 Sinabi ni Abimelech, “Tingnan mo, nasa harapan mo ang lupain ko. Manirahan ka kung saan mo naisin.
And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before you: dwell where it pleases you.
16 Kay Sarah sinabi niya. “Tingnan mo, binigyan ko ang iyong kapatid ng isang libong piraso ng pilak. Pantakip ito sa mga kamalian laban sa iyo sa mga mata ng lahat ng kasama mo, at sa harapan ng lahat, tuluyan kang ginawang matuwid.”
And to Sarah he said, Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to you a covering of the eyes, to all that are with you, and with all other: thus she was reproved.
17 Pagkatapos, nanalangin si Abraham sa Diyos at pinagaling ng Diyos si Abimelech, ang kanyang asawa, at kanyang mga babaeng alipin para sila ay tuluyan ng magkaroon ng anak.
So Abraham prayed to God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bore children.
18 Dahil hinayaan ni Yahweh na ganap na hindi magkaanak ang lahat ng mga babae sa sambayanan ni Abimelech, dahil kay Sarah, na asawa ni Abraham.
For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham’s wife.
