Genesis 20
1 And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the land of the South, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur; and he sojourned in Gerar.
Abraham loe ohhaih ahmuen hoi aloih bang ah angpuen moe, Kadesh hoi Shur vangpui salakah khosak. Gerar vangpui ah doeh nawnetta thung oh.
2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
To naah Abraham mah a zu Sarah to, Ka tanuh ni, tiah thuih. To pongah Gerar vangpui siangpahrang Abimelek mah kami to patoeh moe, Sarah to laksak.
3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, because of the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man’s wife.
Toe qum amang ah Abimelek khaeah Sithaw angzoh pae moe, anih khaeah, Khenah, nongpata to na naeh pongah nang loe kadueh kami ah ni na oh boeh, anih loe kami maeto ih zu boeh ni, tiah a naa.
4 Now Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay even a righteous nation?
Toe Abimelek loe Sarah khaeah caeh ai vop; anih mah, Angraeng, katoeng acaeng to na hum han maw?
5 Said he not himself unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and the innocency of my hands have I done this.
Anih mah kai khaeah nongpata loe, Ka tanuh ni, tiah ang naa moe, nongpata mah doeh anih loe, Ka thangqoi ni, tiah thuih; kai loe hae hmuen hae poekciimhaih hoi kaciim ban hoiah ni ka sak, tiah a naa.
6 And God said unto him in the dream, Yea, I know that in the integrity of thy heart thou hast done this, and I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.
To naah Sithaw mah amang ah anih khaeah, Ue, poekciimhaih hoiah ni na sak tito ka panoek; to pongah ni ka koeh ai ih hmuen baktiah na zae haih han ai ah kang pakaa moe, anih to kang suisak ai.
7 Now therefore restore the man’s wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.
To pongah kami ih zu to paek let ah; anih loe tahmaa ah oh, anih mah nang hanah lawk na thui pae nahaeloe, hinghaih na hnu tih; toe anih ih zu to na paek let ai nahaeloe, nangmah hoi na caanawk boih, na dueh o tangtang tih, tiah panoek ah, tiah a naa.
8 And 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.
Abimelek loe khawnbang khawnthaw ah angthawk, a tamnanawk to kawk moe, nihcae khaeah amang ah hnuk ih hmuennawk to thuih pae boih, to naah nihcae loe paroeai zit o.
9 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and wherein have I sinned against thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done.
To pacoengah Abimelek mah Abraham to kawk moe, anih khaeah, Tipongah kaicae nuiah hae baktih hmuen hae na sak loe? Na nuiah tih sethaih maw ka sak moe, ka nui hoi ka prae thungah hae baktih kalen zaehaih to nang phaksak? Tikhoe sak koi ai hmuen to ka nuiah na sak loe? tiah a naa.
10 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?
Abimelek mah Abraham khaeah, Kawbang maw na poek moe, hae tiah na sak? tiah a naa.
11 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.
Abraham mah, Hae prae kaminawk loe Sithaw zithaih tawn o ai moe, ka zu pongah kai na hum o tih, tiah ka poek.
12 And moreover she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife:
To pacoengah anih loe ka tanuh ah doeh oh roe; kam pa ih canu ah oh, toe amno loe lah; anih to ka zu haih.
13 and it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father’s house, that I said unto her, This is thy kindness which thou shalt shew unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.
Kam pa imthung hoiah Sithaw mah ang proengsak naah, nongpata khaeah, Nam lunghaih kai khaeah amtuengsak hanah, na caehhaih ahmuen kruekah, kai loe, na thangqoi ni, tiah thui ah, tiah ka naa, tiah a thuih pae.
14 And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and menservants and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
To pacoengah Abimelek mah, tuu hoi maitawnawk, tamna nongpa hoi nongpatanawk to lak moe, a zu Sarah hoi nawnto Abraham khaeah paek let.
15 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.
Abimelek mah Abraham khaeah, Khenah, na hmaa ah kaom long loe kai ih boih ni; na koeh ih ahmuen ah khosah ah, tiah a naa.
16 And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, it is for thee a covering of the eyes to all that are with thee; and in respect of all thou art righted.
Anih mah Sarah khaeah, Khenah, Na thangqoi khaeah mikhmai sakhaih phoisa shekel sangto ka paek boeh; to phoisa loe na taengah kaom kaminawk boih hmaa ah kaciim ah na oh moe, zaehaih tidoeh na sah ai, tiah nihcae boih mah panoek han ih ni, tiah a naa.
17 And Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.
To pacoengah Abraham mah Sithaw khaeah lawkthuih pae, to naah Sithaw mah Abimelek, anih ih zu hoi a tamna nongpatanawk to ngantuisak; nihcae loe caa sak o.
18 For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham’s wife.
Abraham ih zu Sarah pongah, Angraeng mah Abimelek imthung takoh boih caa kaaksak.
