Genesis 20

1 Abraham advanced from there into the southern land, and he lived between Kadesh and Shur. And he sojourned in Gerar.

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.

2 And he said about his wife Sarah: “She is my sister.” Therefore, Abimelech, the king of Gerar, sent for her and took her.

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.

3 Then God came to Abimelech through a dream in the night, and he said to him: “Lo, you shall die because of the woman that you have taken. For she has a husband.”

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.”

4 In truth, Abimelech had not touched her, and so he said: “Lord, would you put to death a people, ignorant and just?

Ngayon, hindi nilapitan ni Abimelech si Sarah at sinabi niya, “Panginoon, papatayin mo rin ba ang matuwid na bansa?

5 Did he not say to me, ‘She is my sister,’ and did she not say, ‘He is my brother?’ In the sincerity of my heart and the purity of my hands, I have done this.”

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.”

6 And God said to him: “And I know that you have acted with a sincere heart. And therefore I kept you from sinning against me, and I did not release you to touch her.

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.

7 Now therefore, return his wife to the man, for he is a prophet. And he will pray for you, and you will live. But if you are not willing to return her, know this: you shall die a death, you and all that is yours.”

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.”

8 And immediately Abimelech, rising up in the night, called all his servants. And he spoke all these words in their hearing, and all the men were very afraid.

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.

9 Then Abimelech called also for Abraham, and he said to him: “What have you done to us? How have we sinned against you, so that you would bring so great a sin upon me and upon my kingdom? You have done to us what you ought not to have done.”

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.”

10 And remonstrating him again, he said, “What did you see, so that you would do this?”

Sinabi ni Abimelech kay Abraham, “Ano ang nagtulak sa iyo na gawin mo ang bagay na ito?”

11 Abraham responded: “I thought to myself, saying: Perhaps there is no fear of God in this place. And they will put me to death because of my wife.

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.'

12 Yet, in another way, she is also truly my sister, the daughter of my father, and not the daughter of my mother, and I took her as a wife.

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.

13 Then, after God led me out of my father’s house, I said to her: ‘You will show this mercy to me. In every place, to which we will travel, you will say that I am your brother.’”

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.''''

14 Therefore, Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and men servants and women servants, and he gave them to Abraham. And he returned his wife Sarah to him.

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.

15 And he said, “The land is in your sight. Dwell wherever it will please you.”

Sinabi ni Abimelech, “Tingnan mo, nasa harapan mo ang lupain ko. Manirahan ka kung saan mo naisin.

16 Then to Sarah he said: “Behold, I have given your brother one thousand silver coins. This will be for you as a veil for your eyes, to all who are with you and wherever you will travel. And so, remember that you were taken.”

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.”

17 Then when Abraham prayed, God healed Abimelech and his wife, and his handmaids, and they gave birth.

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.

18 For the Lord had closed every womb of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, the wife of Abraham.

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.
