1Te phoeiah Abraham loh Negev kho la puen uh tih Kadesh neh Shur laklo ah kho a sak vaengkah Gerar ah bakuep.
1And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the land of the South, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur; and he sojourned in Gerar.
2Te vaengah Abraham loh a yuu Sarah te ka ngannu ni a ti dongah Gerar manghai Abimelek a tah tih Sarah te a loh.
2And Abraham said of Sarah his wife: 'She is my sister.' And Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
3Tedae Abimelek te khoyin a mang ah Pathen loh a paan tih a taengah, “Rhukom tangtae hlang yuu te na rhawt dongah na duek coeng ne,” a ti nah.
3But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him: 'Behold, thou shalt die, because of the woman whom thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife.'
4Te dongah Abimelek loh anih te ben pawh. Tedae, “Boeipa namtom loh dueng cakhaw na ngawn aya?
4Now Abimelech had not come near her; and he said: 'Lord, wilt Thou slay even a righteous nation?
5Amah loh kai taengah, 'Anih ka ngannu a ti tih he long khaw ka nganpa ni, ' a ti moenih a? Ka thinko thincaknah neh, ka kut cimcaihnah nen ni he khaw ka saii,” a ti nah.
5Said he not himself unto me: She is my sister? and she, even she herself said: He is my brother. In the simplicity of my heart and the innocency of my hands have I done this.'
6Te dongah anih te a mang ah Pathen loh, “Ue hekah he nang loh thinko thincaknah neh na saii tila ka ming. Tedae anih taek sak ham nang kam paek pawt dongah kai taengah tholh khui lamloh nang te kan tuem kan soem.
6And God said unto him in the dream: 'Yea, I know that in the simplicity of thy heart thou hast done this, and I also withheld thee from sinning against Me. Therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.
7Tahae ah hlang yuu te mael laeh. Anih te tonghma tih nang ham a thangthui daengah ni na hing eh. Na mael pawt atah na taengkah boeih neh namah khaw na duek rhoe na duek ni tila ming laeh,” a ti nah.
7Now 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.'
8Te dongah Abimelek te mincang ah thoo tih a sal boeih te a khue. Te phoeiah hekah olka boeih he amih hna ah a thui hatah hlang boeih loh a rhih uh.
8And 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.
9Abimelek loh Abraham te a khue tih, “Kaimih ham balae na saii, nang taengah metlam ka tholh tih kamah so neh ka ram ah tholh muep nan khuen. Kai taengah na saii bibi te a saii uh noek moenih,” a ti nah.
9Then 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.'
10Te dongah Abimelek loh Abraham te, “Hekah dumlai he na saii vaengah balae na hmuh,” a ti nah.
10And Abimelech said unto Abraham: 'What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?'
11Tedae Abraham loh, “Hekah hmuen ah Pathen hinyahnah om pawt tih ka yuu kah olka ah kai n'ngawn uh ve ka ti dongah ni.
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.
12Tedae anih te a pa canu ka ngannu rhep ni. A nu canu pawt dae ka yuu lam khaw om ngawn.
12And moreover she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and so she became my wife.
13Te dongah a pa im lamkah Pathen loh kai kho m'hmang sak vaengah anih taengah, 'Nang kah sitlohnah he kai taengah na saii ham atah mekah hmuen boeih ah m'pha cakhaw, 'Anih he ka nganpa ni, 'ti ne tila kamah loh pahoi ka ti nah coeng,” a ti nah.
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.'
14Te vaengah Abimelek loh tu neh saelhung khaw, sal tongpa neh salnu khaw a loh tih Abraham te a paek. A yuu Sarah te khaw amah taengah a mael.
14And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and men-servants and women-servants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
15Te phoeiah Abimelek loh, “Na mikhmuh kah ka khohmuen aka om he namah mik ah then na ti bangla khosa ngawn ne,” a ti nah.
15And Abimelech said: 'Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.'
16Sarah taengah khaw, “Na nganpa taengah tangka thawngkhat nang ham hmaithennah ka paek coeng tih namah taengkah aka om boeih neh hlang boeih hmaiah na tang uh coeng he,” a ti nah.
16And 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 before all men thou art righted.'
17Tedae Abraham te Pathen taengah thangthui. Pathen loh Abimelek khaw, a yuu khaw, a salnu rhoek khaw a hoeih sak dongah ca a sak uh.
17And Abraham prayed unto God; and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maid-servants; and they bore children.
18Abraham yuu Sarah kah lai ah Abimelek im kah hlang bung boeih te BOEIPA loh a khaih rhoela a khaih pah.
18For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
