< Genesis 20 >

1 Abrahamu sì kó kúrò níbẹ̀ lọ sí ìhà gúúsù ó sì ń gbé ní agbede-méjì Kadeṣi àti Ṣuri; ó sì gbé ní ìlú Gerari fún ìgbà díẹ̀.
Now Abraham journeyed from there to the region of the Negev and settled between Kadesh and Shur. While he was staying in Gerar,
2 Abrahamu sì sọ ní ti Sara aya rẹ̀ níbẹ̀ pé, “Arábìnrin mi ni.” Abimeleki ọba Gerari sì ránṣẹ́ mú Sara wá sí ààfin rẹ̀.
Abraham said of his wife Sarah, “She is my sister.” So Abimelech king of Gerar had Sarah brought to him.
3 Ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run tọ Abimeleki wá ní ojú àlá lọ́jọ́ kan, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Kíyèsi, kò sí ohun tí o fi sàn ju òkú lọ, nítorí obìnrin tí ìwọ mú sọ́dọ̀ n nì, aya ẹni kan ní íṣe.”
One night, however, God came to Abimelech in a dream and told him, “You are as good as dead because of the woman you have taken, for she is a married woman.”
4 Ṣùgbọ́n Abimeleki kò tí ìbá obìnrin náà lòpọ̀, nítorí náà ó wí pé, “Olúwa ìwọ yóò run orílẹ̀-èdè aláìlẹ́bi bí?
Now Abimelech had not gone near her, so he replied, “Lord, would You destroy a nation even though it is innocent?
5 Ǹjẹ́ òun kò sọ fún mi pé, ‘Arábìnrin mi ni,’ obìnrin náà pẹ̀lú sì sọ pé, ‘Arákùnrin mí ni’? Ní òtítọ́ pẹ̀lú ọkàn mímọ́ àti ọwọ́ mímọ́, ni mo ṣe èyí.”
Didn’t Abraham tell me, ‘She is my sister’? And she herself said, ‘He is my brother.’ I have done this in the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands.”
6 Nígbà náà ni Ọlọ́run wí fún un nínú àlá náà pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, mo mọ̀ pé pẹ̀lú òtítọ́ inú ni ìwọ ṣe èyí, èyí ni mo fi pa ọ́ mọ́ tí ń kò jẹ́ kí o ṣẹ̀ sí mi. Ìdí nìyí tí n kò fi jẹ́ kí o ní ìbálòpọ̀ pẹ̀lú obìnrin náà.
Then God said to Abimelech in the dream, “Yes, I know that you did this with a clear conscience, and so I have kept you from sinning against Me. That is why I did not let you touch her.
7 Nísinsin yìí, dá aya ọkùnrin náà padà, nítorí pé wòlíì ni, yóò sì gbàdúrà fún ọ, ìwọ yóò sì yè. Ṣùgbọ́n bí ìwọ kò bá dá a padà, mọ̀ dájú pé ìwọ àti gbogbo ẹni tí í ṣe tìrẹ yóò kú.”
Now return the man’s wife, for he is a prophet; he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not restore her, be aware that you will surely die—you and all who belong to you.”
8 Ní òwúrọ̀ kùtùkùtù ọjọ́ kejì, Abimeleki pe gbogbo àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀. Nígbà tí ó sì sọ gbogbo ohun tí ó ṣẹlẹ̀ fún wọn, ẹ̀rù bà wọ́n gidigidi.
Early the next morning Abimelech got up and summoned all his servants; and when he described to them all that had happened, the men were terrified.
9 Nígbà náà ni Abimeleki pe Abrahamu ó sì wí fún un pé, “Èwo ni èyí tí ìwọ ṣe sí wa yìí? Ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wo ni mo ṣẹ̀ ọ́ tí ìwọ fi mú ìdálẹ́bi ńlá wá sí orí èmi àti ìjọba mi? Kò yẹ kí ìwọ hu irú ìwà yìí sí mi.”
Then Abimelech called Abraham and asked, “What have you done to us? How have I sinned against you, that you have brought such tremendous guilt upon me and my kingdom? You have done things to me that should not be done.”
10 Abimeleki sì bi Abrahamu pé, “Kín ló dé tí ìwọ fi ṣe èyí?”
Abimelech also asked Abraham, “What prompted you to do such a thing?”
11 Abrahamu sì dáhùn pé, “Mo ṣe èyí nítorí mo rò nínú ara mi pé, ẹ̀yin tí ẹ wà níhìn-ín, ẹ kò bẹ̀rù Ọlọ́run, pé, ẹ sì le pa mí nítorí aya mi.
Abraham replied, “I thought to myself, ‘Surely there is no fear of God in this place. They will kill me on account of my wife.’
12 Yàtọ̀ fún ìyẹn, òtítọ́ ni pé arábìnrin mi ni. Ọmọ baba kan ni wá, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé, a kì í ṣe ọmọ ìyá kan. Mo sì fẹ́ ẹ ní aya.
Besides, she really is my sister, the daughter of my father—though not the daughter of my mother—and she became my wife.
13 Nígbà tí Ọlọ́run sì mú mi rìn kiri kúrò ní ilé baba mi, mo wí fún un pé, ‘Èyí ni ọ̀nà tí ó lè gbà fihàn pé ó fẹ́ràn mi. Gbogbo ibi tí a bá dé máa sọ pé, “Arákùnrin rẹ ni mí.”’”
So when God had me journey from my father’s house, I said to Sarah, ‘This is how you can show your loyalty to me: Wherever we go, say of me, “He is my brother.”’”
14 Nígbà náà ni Abimeleki mú àgùntàn àti màlúù wá, àti ẹrúkùnrin àti ẹrúbìnrin, ó sì kó wọn fún Abrahamu, ó sì dá Sara aya rẹ̀ padà fún un.
So Abimelech brought sheep and cattle, menservants and maidservants, and he gave them to Abraham and restored his wife Sarah to him.
15 Abimeleki sì tún wí fún un pé, “Gbogbo ilẹ̀ mí nìyí níwájú rẹ, máa gbé ní ibikíbi tí o fẹ́ níbẹ̀.”
And Abimelech said, “Look, my land is before you. Settle wherever you please.”
16 Abimeleki sì wí fún Sara pé, “Mo fi ẹgbẹ̀rún owó ẹyọ fàdákà fún arákùnrin rẹ. Èyí ni owó ìtánràn ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi sí ọ níwájú gbogbo ẹni tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ àti pé, a dá ọ láre pátápátá.”
And he said to Sarah, “See, I am giving your brother a thousand pieces of silver. It is your vindication before all who are with you; you are completely cleared.”
17 Nígbà náà, Abrahamu gbàdúrà sí Ọlọ́run, Ọlọ́run sì wo Abimeleki àti aya rẹ̀ àti àwọn ẹrúbìnrin rẹ̀ sàn. Wọ́n sì tún ń bímọ,
Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech and his wife and his maidservants, so that they could again bear children—
18 nítorí Olúwa ti sé gbogbo ará ilé Abimeleki nínú nítorí Sara aya Abrahamu.
for on account of Abraham’s wife Sarah, the LORD had completely closed all the wombs in Abimelech’s household.
