Genesis 20
1 Abraham left Mamre and moved southwest to the Negev desert and lived in a place named Gerar, between Kadesh and Shur.
Basa ma, Abraham lali mia Mamre, nisiꞌ rae Negeb seriꞌ ona, de leo sia kambo Kades no Sur taladꞌa na. Te nda dooꞌ sa ma, ana lali nisiꞌ kambo Gerar fai.
2 While he was there, he told people that Sarah was his sister, not his wife. Then King Abimelech of Gerar sent some of his men to Sarah, and they brought her to him to be his wife.
Nafadꞌe atahori sia naa nae, Sara naa, eni odꞌi na. Naa de, Abimelek, mane Gerar a, denu atahori nara reu roꞌe Sara, fo ro e nisiꞌ ume panggat na.
3 But God appeared to Abimelech in a dream during the night and said to him, “Listen to me! You are going to die because the woman you took is another man’s wife.”
Tetembaꞌ esa, Lamatualain natudꞌu Aon neu maneꞌ sia meit. Ana olaꞌ nae, “Ho mae mate, ia ena! Huu haꞌi mala atahori sao na.”
4 But Abimelech had not had sex [EUP] with her, so he said, “God, since the people of my nation and I am innocent; will you kill me?
Te Abimelek naselu nae, “Lamatualain! Au nda feꞌe kois inaꞌ naa sa. Au nda sala sa. Abraham mana nae, inaꞌ naa eni odꞌi na. Ma inaꞌ naa o nataa taꞌo naa boe. Naa de, au denu reu haꞌi e no rala meuꞌ. Dadꞌi Lamatualain afiꞌ fee salaꞌ neu au!”
5 He told me, ‘She is my sister,’ and she also said, ‘He is my brother.’ I did this with pure motives and I [SYN] have not done anything wrong yet.”
6 God said to him in another dream, “Yes, I know that your motives were pure. That is why I truly prevented you from sinning against me. I did not allow you to have sex [EUP] with her.
Lamatualain nataa nae, “Memaꞌ Au bubꞌuluꞌ rala ma ndos. Naa de, Au tao fo ho afiꞌ kois inaꞌ naa. Naa fo, ho nda tao salaꞌ neu Au saꞌ boe.
7 Now, return this man’s wife to her husband, because he is (a prophet/a man who receives messages from me). He will pray for you, and you will (remain alive/not die). But if you do not return her to him, you will certainly die, and all the members of your household will also certainly die.”
Ia naa, haitua baliꞌ inaꞌ naa neu sao na. Eni, Au mana ola-ola Ngga. De moꞌe fo ana hule-oꞌe fee nggo fo afiꞌ mate. Te mete ma ho nda fee baliꞌ inaꞌ naa sa, musunedꞌa malolole! Te ho mo basa atahori mara, mate a ia ena.”
8 Early the next morning, Abimelech summoned all his officials, and told them everything that had happened. When they heard that [MTY], his men were very afraid [that God would punish them].
Mbila fefetu ana naa, maneꞌ a noꞌe basa pagau nara, de dui meit na. Boe ma basa se ramatau.
9 Abimelech then summoned Abraham, and said to him, “You should not have done that to us [RHQ]! Did I do something wrong to you, with the result that you are causing me and the people in [MTY] my kingdom to be guilty of committing a great sin [RHQ]? You have done things to me that (should not be done/you should not have done)!”
Basa ma maneꞌ a noꞌe Abraham, de natane nae, “Au tao salaꞌ saa neu nggo, losa muꞌusususaꞌ au o manggarau nggara taꞌo ia? Ho afiꞌ tao dala deꞌulakaꞌ onaꞌ ia.
10 Abimelech asked Abraham, “What was your reason for doing this?”
Ho duꞌa saa, losa ho tao taꞌo ia?”
11 Abraham replied, “I said that because I thought, ‘They certainly do not respect God in this place. If they don’t respect God, they will not respect relationships with others. [If I say she is my sister, they will try to pay me a bride price] to get her. But if I say she is my wife, they will kill me to get her.’
Abraham nataa nae, “Ama maneꞌ! Au duꞌa basa hei nda mihine Lamatualain sa. De neꞌo ruma rae tao risa au, fo haꞌi rala sao ngga.
12 Besides, she really [can be considered] my sister, because she is the daughter of my father, although she is not the daughter of my mother. She is the daughter of another woman, and I married her.
Memaꞌ au olaꞌ tebꞌe, ae eni, au odꞌi ngga. Hai ruꞌa nggi amaꞌ esa, te esaꞌ ina na. Naa de, hai esa sao esa.
13 Later, when God told me to move away from my father’s household, I said to her, ‘This is the way you can show that you love me: Everywhere we go, say about me, “This is my brother.”’”
Dadꞌi leleꞌ Lamatualain denu hai misiꞌ mamana dodꞌooꞌ, au ufadꞌe sao ngga ae, ‘Mete ma hai mii sia bee-bꞌee, fo atahori ratane hai ruꞌa nggi neꞌebꞌue ma, mete ma ho sue au, naa mutaa mae hita odꞌi-aꞌa.’”
14 So Abimelech brought some sheep and cattle and male and female slaves and gave them to Abraham. And he returned his wife Sarah to him.
Basa ma, mane Abimelek fee baliꞌ Sara. Ana olaꞌ no e nae, “Ia naa, au bae aꞌa ma doi fulaꞌ rifon esa, fo dadꞌi bukti oi, au nda tao salaꞌ saa-saa o nggo saꞌ boe. Naa fo, basa atahori rahine boe!” Maneꞌ a o olaꞌ no Abraham nae, “Abraham! Au nusa ngga ia, nenesoiꞌ soa neu nggo. Mae muu leo sia bee o, neu.” Ana fee Abraham sapi ma hiek-lombo. Ana o fee ate inaꞌ ma touꞌ boe.
15 And Abimelech said to him, “Look! All my land is here in front of you. Live in whatever place you like!”
16 And he said to Sarah, “Look here, I am giving 1,000 pieces of silver to your brother. This is to insure that no one will [bring up this matter again and] say that I have done something wrong. [EUP, IDM]”
17 Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech’s wife and his slave girls so that they could become pregnant.
Fefeu na, LAMATUALAIN ena mamana anaꞌ mia basa inaꞌ mana sia Abimelek nusa na, huu ana rambas nala Abraham sao na. Ana fee baliꞌ Sara nisiꞌ sao na ma, Abraham hule-oꞌe, de Lamatualain soi baliꞌ inaꞌ ra mamana ana nara. De ara bisa bꞌonggi seluꞌ fai.
18 This was because Yahweh had caused it to be impossible for any of the women in Abimelech’s household to bear children, because Abimelech had taken Abraham’s wife Sarah.
