Genesis 20

1 Abraham traveled towards the Negev, staying between Kadesh and Shur. After that he moved on to live 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 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.

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 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.”

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 Abimelech hadn't touched Sarah, and he asked, “Lord, do you kill good people?

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

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!”

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 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.

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 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.”

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 Abimelech got up early in the morning and called all his servants together. He explained everything that had happened, and they were all terrified.

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 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!”

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 Then Abimelech asked Abraham “What were you thinking when you did this?”

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

11 “Well, I thought to myself, ‘Nobody respects God in this place. They'll kill me just to get my wife,’” Abraham replied.

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 “Anyway, she really is my sister, the daughter of my father but not my mother, and I married her.

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 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.’”

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 Then Abimelech gave Abraham gifts of sheep, cattle, and male and female slaves, and 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 Abimelech told him, “Look over my land. You can choose to live anywhere you like.”

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

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.”

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 Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, his wife, and his female slaves, so that they could have children again.

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 made all the women unable to have children because Abraham's wife, Sarah, had been taken.

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.
