Genesis 20
1 And Abraham journeyed from there toward the south country, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.
Abraham teh hote hmuen koehoi akalah a cei teh, Kadesh kho hoi Shur kho rahak vah kho a sak teh Gerar kho dawk a roe.
2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
Abraham ni a yu Sarah hanelah ka tawncanu atipouh. Hahoi Gerar Siangpahrang Abimelek ni tami a patoun teh Sarah a la sak.
3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, on account of the woman whom thou hast taken; for she is a man’s wife.
Hatei, Cathut ni tangmin vah Abimelek koe a mang lahoi a tho teh, thai haw, na lae napui kecu dawk tami kadout patetlah doeh na o toe, bangkongtetpawiteh ahni teh ayâ yu doeh atipouh.
4 But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou also slay a righteous nation?
Hatei, Abimelek ni ipkhai hoeh rah. Hahoi ahni ni kalan e miphun hai na thei han maw
5 Said he not to me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this.
Ama ni roeroe kai koevah, ka tawncanu ati nahoehmaw. A yu ni hai ka thangroi doeh ati tayaw, lungthin thoung lahoi, ka kut kathoungcalah hoi hete hno ka sak e doeh telah atipouh.
6 And God said to him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore I allowed thee not to touch her.
Cathut ni a mang lah vah, ahman doeh, lungthin kathoungcalah hoi hete hno na sak e doeh tie ka panue. Hatdawkvah kai ni hai kai tak dawk hnokathout sak hane ka pasoung hoeh. Hat dawk doeh ahni na tek hanelah ka pasoung hoeh.
7 Now therefore restore to the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou shalt not restore her, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.
Hatdawkvah ayâ yu atu bout poe leih, bangkongtetpawiteh ahni teh profet doeh. Na ratoum pouh vaiteh na dam han. Hatei na poe hoehpawiteh, nang hoi na sannaw abuemlah, na due roeroe awh han atipouh.
8 Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were greatly afraid.
Hahoi Abimelek teh amom, a thaw, a sannaw pueng a kaw teh a thai e hnonaw pueng a dei pouh teh puenghoi a taki awh.
9 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him, What hast thou done to us? and how have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds to me that ought not to be done.
Abimelek ni Abraham a kaw teh, kai dawk bang hno maw na sak, nang koe bangmaw ka payon teh, kai hoi kaie uknaeram koe kahawihoehe hno na pha sak. Sak hoeh hane kawi kai dawk na sak vaw atipouh.
10 And Abimelech said to Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?
Abimelek ni Abraham koevah, Bang hno maw na hmu teh kai dawk hete hno na sak telah bout atipouh.
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 ni hie kho dawk e taminaw teh Cathut ka taket awmhoeh vaiteh, ka yu kecu dawk kai na thei awh han doeh telah ka pouk dawk doeh atipouh.
12 And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
Hothloilah ahni teh ka tawncanu katang doeh. Apa e canu doeh. Anu e canu nahoeh, hatei ka yu lahai ao.
13 And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father’s house, that I said to her, This is thy kindness which thou shalt show to me; at every place where we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.
Cathut ni apa im hoi na ceisak hane navah, na pha nah tangkuem koe ka thangroi doeh na ti pouh han telah ati dawk doeh atipouh.
14 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and male and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored to him Sarah his wife.
Abimelek ni tu hoi maitotannaw, sanpa hoi sannu naw a ceikhai teh Abraham a poe teh, a yu Sarah hai bout a poe.
15 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.
Abimelek ni, Khenhaw! ka ram teh na hmalah ao, na ngainae pueng koe awm loe atipouh.
16 And to Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes, to all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved.
Sarah koevah, na thangroi koe tangka 1,000 touh ka poe toe. Nang hoi na huikonaw pueng hanelah minhmai sak lah ka poe e doeh atipouh.
17 So Abraham prayed to God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bore children.
Hottelah Abraham ni Cathut koe a ratoum teh, Cathut ni Abimelek hoi a yu, a sannunaw a dam sak teh canaw hai bout a khe.
18 For the LORD had closed fast all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham’s wife.
Abraham e a yu Sarah kecu dawk BAWIPA ni Abimelek imthung abuemlah carôe sak.
