1Abraham traveled from there toward the land of the South, and lived between Kadesh and Shur. He lived as a foreigner in Gerar.
1 Ibrahim tun noodin. A dira ka koy Negeb* laabu. A goro Kades da Sur game ra. A na yawtaray goray te Gerar laabo ra.
2Abraham said about Sarah his wife, “She is my sister.” Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
2 Ibrahim ne nga wando Saharatu ya nga wayme no. Kala Gerar koyo Abimelek donton ka Saharatu sambu.
3But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, “Behold, you are a dead man, because of the woman whom you have taken. For she is a man’s wife.”
3 Amma Irikoy kaa Abimelek do cin hindiri ra ka ne a se: «Guna, nin da buuko ga saba waybora kaŋ ni sambu din sabbay se, zama boro fo wande no.»
4Now Abimelech had not come near her. He said, “Lord, will you kill even a righteous nation?
4 Amma Abimelek mana jin ka maan a gaa bo. A ne: «Ya ay Koyo, ni ga kunda adilante wi?
5Didn’t he tell me, ‘She is my sister?’ She, even she herself, said, ‘He is my brother.’ In the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands have I done this.”
5 Manti bora bumbo no ka ne ay se nga wayme no? Waybora bumbo mo ne nga arme no. Ay bina taali-jaŋay da kambe hananyaŋ ra no ay na woodin te.»
6God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also withheld you from sinning against me. Therefore I didn’t allow you to touch her.
6 Irikoy mo ne a se hindiro ra: «Ay bay kaŋ ni bina taali-jaŋay ra no ni na woodin te. Ay mo, ay na ni ganji ni ma zunubi te ay se. Woodin se no ay mana naŋ ni ma maan a gaa.
7Now therefore, restore the man’s wife. For he is a prophet, and he will pray for you, and you will live. If you don’t restore her, know for sure that you will die, you, and all who are yours.”
7 Sohõ binde, kala ni ma bora wando ye a se, zama nga wo annabi* no. A ga adduwa te ni se mo, hala ni ma funa. Da mo ni man'a ye, ma bay kaŋ daahir ni ga bu, nin da boro kulu kaŋ ga ti ni wane.»
8Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ear. The men were very scared.
8 Abimelek mo tun za da hinay susuba ra. A na nga bannyey kulu ce k'i kabarandi. Alborey mo humburu gumo.
9Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him, “What have you done to us? How have I sinned against you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You have done deeds to me that ought not to be done!”
9 Saaya din Abimelek na Ibrahim ce. A ne a se: «Ifo no woone kaŋ ni te iri se? Man no ay na taali te ni se, kaŋ se ni ga zunubi bambata candi ka kande ay boŋ, in d'ay koytara kulu. Ni na goy te ay se kaŋ mana hagu i m'a dumi te.»
10Abimelech said to Abraham, “What did you see, that you have done this thing?”
10 Abimelek ne Ibrahim se koyne: «Ifo no ni di, kaŋ se ni na hayo te?»
11Abraham said, “Because I thought, ‘Surely the fear of God is not in this place. They will kill me for my wife’s sake.’
11 Ibrahim ne: «Zama ay goono ga sikka no hala daahir Irikoy humburkumay si no neewo, i m'ay wi mo ay wando sabbay se.
12Besides, she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
12 Da cimi, ay wayme no, zama ay baabo ize no, amma manti ay nya ize no. A ciya ay se wande mo.
13It happened, when God caused me to wander from my father’s house, that I said to her, ‘This is your kindness which you shall show to me. Everywhere that we go, say of me, “He is my brother.”’”
13 A ciya mo, waato kaŋ Irikoy ne ay ma fatta ay baabo windo ra ka koy bar-bare, kal ay ci ay wando se ka ne: ‹Gomni kaŋ ni ga cabe ay se neeya: nangu kulu kaŋ iri ga koy, ni ma ne ay ya ni arme no.› »
14Abimelech took sheep and cattle, male servants and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored Sarah, his wife, to him.
14 Kala Abimelek na feejiyaŋ da hawyaŋ sambu, da tamyaŋ mo, alboro nda wayboro, k'i no Ibrahim se. A n'a wando Saharatu mo yeti a se.
15Abimelech said, “Behold, my land is before you. Dwell where it pleases you.”
15 Abimelek ne: «A go, ay mayray laabo neeya ni jine. Ma goro naŋ kaŋ ni ga ba.»
16To Sarah he said, “Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver. Behold, it is for you a covering of the eyes to all that are with you. In front of all you are vindicated.”
16 A ne Saharatu mo se: «Ay na ni arme no nzarfu nooru ize zambar fo. A ga mo daabu boro kulu kaŋ go ni do se. Ni sinda taali mo boro kulu jine.»
17Abraham prayed to God. God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his female servants, and they bore children.
17 Kala Ibrahim na adduwa te Irikoy gaa. Irikoy mo na Abimelek no baani, nga nd'a wando d'a wahayey, i na izeyaŋ hay koyne.
18For Yahweh had closed up tight all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham’s wife.
18 Zama Rabbi na gundey kulu kaŋ ga hay daabu Abimelek windo ra Ibrahim wando Saharatu sabbay se.
