¹And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.

¹Laj Abraham queßel saß li naßajej li queßcuan cuiß ut queßcôeb saß li naßajej Neguev. Queßcana saß jun li naßajej li cuan saß xyânk li cuib chi tenamit Cades ut Shur. Ut mokon chic queßel saß li naßajej aßan. Queßcôeb saß li tenamit Gerar. Ut aran queßcana.

²And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.

²Nak ac cuanqueb aran, laj Abraham quixye: —Lix Sara mâcuaß cuixakil. Aßan cuanab, chan. Lix reyeb li tenamit Gerar, aßan laj Abimelec. Li rey aßan quixtakla xcßambal lix Sara chokß rixakil.

³But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife.

³Chiru li kßojyîn aßan li Dios quiâtinac riqßuin laj Abimelec saß lix matcß ut quixye re: —Anakcuan lâat tatcâmk xban nak li ixk xacßam âcuiqßuin cuan xbêlom, chan li Dios re.

⁴But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, LORD, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?

⁴Laj Abimelec toj mâjiß nacuan riqßuin lix Sara. Laj Abimelec quixye re li Dios: —At Kâcuaß, ¿ma nacacßoxla xcamsinquil li toj mâjiß naxbânu li mâc?

⁵Said he not unto 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.

⁵Laj Abraham cuan re. Aßan xyehoc cue nak lix Sara, aßan ranab. Joßcan ajcuiß lix Sara quixye cue nak laj Abraham, aßan ras. Mâcuaß lâin cuan cue nak xinbânu li naßleb aßin. Moco xinnau ta nak rixakil laj Abraham, chan laj Abimelec.

⁶And God said unto 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 suffered I thee not to touch her.

⁶Ut li Kâcuaß Dios quixye re saß lix matcß: —Yâl. Lâin ninnau nak moco lâat ta cuan âcue. Xban nak ninnau aßin, joßcan nak incßaß xatinqßue chi cuânc riqßuin lix Sara. Joßcan nak incßaß xatmâcob chicuu.

⁷Now therefore restore the man his 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.

⁷Ut anakcuan tâkßaxtesi li ixk aßin riqßuin lix bêlom. Laj Abraham aßan jun li profeta li nayehoc re li cuâtin ut aßan tâtijok châcuix re nak incßaß tatcâmk. Abanan cui incßaß nacakßaxtesi li ixk aßin, lâat tatcâmk, joß eb ajcuiß lâ comon, chan li Dios.

⁸Therefore 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.

⁸Joß cuulajak chic laj Abimelec quicuacli toj ekßela. Quixbokeb chixjunileb lix môs ut quixserakßi reheb li cßaßru quiril saß lix matcß. Ut eb aßan cßajoß nak queßxucuac chi rabinquil li âtin aßan.

⁹Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and what have I offended 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.

⁹Ut laj Abimelec quixbok laj Abraham ut quixye re: —Cßoxla cßaßru xabânu cue. ¿Cßaßru inmâc châcuu nak xaqßue li raylal aßin saß inbên joß ajcuiß saß xbêneb lin tenamit? Incßaß us xabânu cue.

¹⁰And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?

¹⁰¿Cßaßut nak xabânu li naßleb aßin? chan laj Abimelec.

¹¹And 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.

¹¹Laj Abraham quichakßoc ut quixye re: —Lâin xincßoxla nak incßaß nequepâb li Kâcuaß Dios saß li tenamit aßin. Cuan saß inchßôl nak mâre tinêcamsi xban li cuixakil.

¹²And 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.

¹²Yâl li cßaßru xinye âcue nak lix Sara cuîtzßin. Junaj li kayucuaß ut li kanaß jalaneb. Joßcan nak quinsumla riqßuin.

¹³And 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 show unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.

¹³Li Dios quiyehoc cue nak tincanab rochoch lin yucuaß ut tinxic saß jalan naßajej. Lâin quinye re li cuixakil nak yalak bar tonumekß aßan tixye nak lâin li ras, chan laj Abraham.

¹⁴And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.

¹⁴Tojoßnak laj Abimelec quixkßaxtesi lix Sara saß rukß laj Abraham. Ut quixqßue nabal lix quetômk. Quixqßue ajcuiß lix môs cuînk ut lix môs ixk.

¹⁵And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.

¹⁵Laj Abimelec quixye re laj Abraham: —Il li naßajej aßan. Chixjunil li chßochß aßan cue lâin. Tâsicß li bar cuan tâcuulak châcuu ut aran tatcuânk, chan.

¹⁶And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved.

¹⁶Ut laj Abimelec quixye re lix Sara: —Qßue retal. Lâin xinqßue jun mil tumin plata re lâ cuas. Xinbânu aßin re nak li cuanqueb saß lâ cuochoch teßxqßue retal nak saß xyâlal xatinkßaxtesi riqßuin lâ bêlom, ut re ajcuiß nak chixjunileb teßxqßue retal nak mâcßaß âmâc, chan laj Abimelec re.

¹⁷So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.

¹⁷Xban li cßaßru quicßulman riqßuin lix Sara, li Kâcuaß Dios quixtakla jun li yajel saß xbêneb chixjunileb li cuanqueb saß rochoch laj Abimelec re nak eb aßan incßaß teßcuânk xcocßaleb.Laj Abraham quitijoc chiru li Dios chirixeb. Li Dios quirabi ut quixqßuirtesiheb chixjunileb li cuanqueb saß rochoch laj Abimelec re nak teßcuânk xcocßaleb ut quixqßuirtesiheb ajcuiß lix môseb.

¹⁸For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.

¹⁸Laj Abraham quitijoc chiru li Dios chirixeb. Li Dios quirabi ut quixqßuirtesiheb chixjunileb li cuanqueb saß rochoch laj Abimelec re nak teßcuânk xcocßaleb ut quixqßuirtesiheb ajcuiß lix môseb.
