< Genesis 20 >

1 Abraham traveled towards the Negev, staying between Kadesh and Shur. After that he moved on to live in Gerar.
HELE aku la o Aberahama mailaila aku ma ka aina kukuluhema, a noho hoi ia mawaena o Kadesa a o Sura, a ma Gerara kona noho malihini ana.
2 During his time there, when Abraham told people about his wife Sarah, he said, “She's my sister.” So Abimelech, king of Gerar, sent for Sarah and took her to become one of his wives.
Olelo aku la o Aberahama no kana wahine no Sara, Oia no kuu kaikuwahine: a hoouna mai la o Abimeleka ke alii o Gerara, a lawe aku la ia Sara.
3 But God appeared to Abimelech in a dream and told him, “Listen! You're going to die because the woman you've taken is already married—she has a husband.”
A hele mai la ke Akua io Abimeleka la ma ka moeuhane i ka po, i mai la ia ia, Aia hoi, he kanaka make oe, no ka wahine au i lawe iho nei, no ka mea, he wahine mea kane ia.
4 Abimelech hadn't touched Sarah, and he asked, “Lord, do you kill good people?
Aka, aole i hoopili o Abimeleka ia ia: i aku la oia, E ka Haku, e pepehi mai no hoi oe i ka lahuikanaka hala ole?
5 Didn't Abraham tell me himself, ‘She's my sister,’ and didn't Sarah also say, ‘He's my brother’? I did this in all innocence—my conscience is clear!”
Aole anei ia i olelo mai ia'u, O ko'u kaikuwahine ia! a o ka wahine, oia ka i i mai, He kaikunane keia no'u: ma ka manao pono o kuu naau a me ka hala ole o kuu mau lima ka'u i hana aku ai i keia.
6 God told him in the dream, “Yes, I know you did this in all innocence, so I prevented you from sinning against me. That's why I didn't let you touch her.
I mai la ke Akua ia ia ma ka moeuhane, Oiaio. ke ike nei au, ua hana aku oe i keia ma ka manao pono o kou naau; a ua hoopaa no hoi au ia oe, i ole oe e hana hewa mai ia'u: nolaila, aole au i ae aku ia oe e hoopa ia ia.
7 Send the man's wife back to him. He's a prophet. He will pray for you, and you will live. But if you don't send her back to him, you should know for sure that you and all your family will die.”
No ia mea hoi, e hoihoi aku na ua kanaka la i kana wahine; no ka mea, he kaula ia, a nana no e pule mai nou, i ola ai oe: a i ole oe e hoihoi mai ia ia, alaila e ike pono oe, he oiaio e make no oe, o oe a me ou poe a pau.
8 Abimelech got up early in the morning and called all his servants together. He explained everything that had happened, and they were all terrified.
Ala ae la o Abimeleka i kakahiaka nui, houluulu ae la i kana poe kauwa a pau, a hai aku la i keia mau mea maloko o ko lakou mau pepeiao: a makau loa iho la na kanaka.
9 Then Abimelech summoned Abraham and asked him “What have you done to us? How have I wronged you that you should treat me like this, bringing this terrible sin on me and my kingdom? You've done things to me that no one should ever do!”
Alaila, kahea mai la o Abimeleka ia Aberahama, i mai la ia ia, Heaha kau i hana mai ai ia makou? Heaha hoi ko'u hala in oe, i hooili mai ai oe iluna iho o'u a o ko'u aupuni ka hewa nui? Ua hana mai oe ia'u i na mea pono ole ke hanaia.
10 Then Abimelech asked Abraham “What were you thinking when you did this?”
Ninau mai la o Abimeleka ia Aberahama, Heaha kau i ike mai ai, i hana iho ai oe i keia mea?
11 “Well, I thought to myself, ‘Nobody respects God in this place. They'll kill me just to get my wife,’” Abraham replied.
I aku la o Aberahama, No ka mea, i iho la au ma kuu naau, He oiaio, aole ka makau i ke Akua ma keia wahi; a e pepehi mai auanei lakou ia'u no kuu wahine.
12 “Anyway, she really is my sister, the daughter of my father but not my mother, and I married her.
He oiaio hoi, o ko'u kaikuwahine no ia, ke kaikamahine a kuu makuakane, aole nae ia ke kaikamahine a kuu makuwahine, a lilo mai la ia i wahine na'u.
13 Since my God made me move far away from my family home, I told her, ‘If you really love me, then wherever you go with me you must tell people: He's my brother.’”
A i ka manawa a ke Akua i hooanwana mai ai ia'u mai ka hale o ko'u makuakane mai, i aku la au ia ia nei, Eia kou lokomaikai au e hoike mai ai ia'u: i na wahi a pau e hiki aku ai kana, e olelo aku oe no'u, O ko'u kaikunane ia.
14 Then Abimelech gave Abraham gifts of sheep, cattle, and male and female slaves, and returned his wife Sarah to him.
Lawe ae la o Abimeleka i na hipa, me na bipikane, i na kauwakane a me na kauwawahine, a haawi mai la ia Aberahama, a hoihoi mai la oia ia Sara kana wahine nana.
15 Abimelech told him, “Look over my land. You can choose to live anywhere you like.”
I mai la o Abimeleka, Aia hoi, imua ou ko'u aina, e noho ma kahi i makemake ai oe.
16 Abimelech also told Sarah, “Notice that I'm giving your brother a thousand pieces of silver. This is to compensate you for the wrong done to you in the eyes of everyone with you, and to make sure that your name is publicly cleared.”
I mai la hoi oia ia Sara, Aia hoi, ua haawi iho nei au i na apana kala he tausani na kou kaikunane: aia hoi, he mea pale maka ia nou imua o ka poe a pau me oe, a me na mea a pau: pela oia i aoia mai ai.
17 Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, his wife, and his female slaves, so that they could have children again.
Pule aku la o Aberahama i ke Akua: a hoola mai la ke Akua ia Abimeleka, me kana wahine a me kana poe kauwawahine; a hanaukeiki lakou.
18 For the Lord had made all the women unable to have children because Abraham's wife, Sarah, had been taken.
No ka mea, ua papaniia e Iehova na opu o na wahine a pau o ka hale o Abimeleka, no Sara ka wahine a Aberahama.
