Gênesis 20

1 Abraham traveled from there toward the land of the South, and lived between Kadesh and Shur. He lived as a foreigner in Gerar. 2 Abraham said about Sarah his wife, "She is my sister." Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah. 3 But 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."

4 Now Abimelech had not come near her. He said, "Lord, will you kill even a righteous nation? 5 Didn’t he tell me, ‘She is my sister’? She, even she herself, said, ‘He is my brother.’ I have done this in the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands."

6 God 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. 7 Now 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."

8 Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ear. The men were very scared. 9 Then 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!" 10 Abimelech said to Abraham, "What did you see, that you have done this thing?"

11 Abraham said, "Because I thought, ‘Surely the fear of God is not in this place. They will kill me for my wife’s sake.’ 12 Besides, she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife. 13 When God caused me to wander from my father’s house, 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."’"

14 Abimelech took sheep and cattle, male servants and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored Sarah, his wife, to him. 15 Abimelech said, "Behold, my land is before you. Dwell where it pleases you." 16 To 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."

17 Abraham prayed to God. So God healed Abimelech, his wife, and his female servants, and they bore children. 18 For Yahweh had closed up tight all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham’s wife.

Āperahama me Apīmereke

1 Nā, ka tūria atu e Āperahama i reira ki te whenua i te tonga, ā, ka noho ki waenganui o Karehe, o Huru, ā, ka noho ia ki Kerara, he noho manene. 2 Nā, ko Hara, ko tāna wahine, ka kīia e Āperahama, "Ko tōku tuahine ia." Ā, ka tonoa mai e Apīmereke kīngi o Kerara, tangohia atu ana a Hara.

3 Nā, ka puta moemoeā mai te Atua ki a Apīmereke i te pō, ka mea ki a ia, "Nanā, ka mate koe mō te wahine i tangohia nei e koe; he wahine hoki ia nā te tāne."

4 Kāhore anō ia a Apīmereke kia tata noa ki a ia, ā, ka mea ia, "E te Ariki, ka whakamate anō rānei koe i te iwi tika? 5 Kāhore rānei ia i mea mai ki ahau, ‘Ko tōku tuahine ia?’ Me te wahine hoki, i mea mai anō ia, ‘Ko tōku tungāne ia.’ He tapatahi tōku ngākau, he harakore hoki ōku ringa i mea ai ahau i tēnei mea."

6 Ā, ka kōrero moemoeā mai te Atua ki a ia, "Āe rā, i mōhio tonu ahau he tapatahi tōu ngākau i a koe i mea ai i tēnei mea; i pupuri hoki ahau i a koe kei hara koe ki ahau. Nā reira, koe tē tukua ai e ahau kia pā ki a ia. 7 Nā, whakahokia ākuanei te wahine a tēnā tangata; nō te mea hoki he poropiti ia, ā, māna e īnoi mōu, ā, ka ora koe. Ki te kore e whakahokia e koe, kia mōhio koe, ka tino mate koe, koutou ko ngā mea katoa i a koe."

8 Nā, i te atatū ka maranga a Apīmereke, karangatia ana āna tāngata katoa, ā, kōrerotia ana ēnei mea katoa ki ō rātou taringa. Ā, nui atu te wehi o aua tāngata. 9 Nā, ka karanga a Apīmereke ki a Āperahama, ka mea ki a ia, "He mahi aha tēnei āu ki a mātou? Ā, he aha tōku hara ki a koe, i tākina mai ai e koe he hara nui ki ahau, ki tōku kīngitanga anō hoki? Kua meinga e koe ētahi mea ki ahau kāhore nei i tika kia mahia." 10 Ā, ka mea anō a Apīmereke ki a Āperahama, "I kite koe i te aha i meatia ai tēnei mea e koe?"

11 Nā, ka mea a Āperahama, "I mahara hoki ahau, ‘He pono, kāhore te wehi o te Atua i tēnei wāhi; ā, ka patua ahau e rātou mō tāku wahine.’ 12 He pono anō ia he tuahine ia nōku, ko te tamāhine a tōku pāpā, otiia ehara i te tamāhine nā tōku whaea; ā, ka noho hei wahine māku. 13 Ā, i tā te Atua meatanga i ahau kia kōpiko haere ake i te whare o tōku pāpā, ka mea ahau ki a ia, ‘Ko tōu aroha tēnei, hei whakaputa māu ki ahau: hei ngā wāhi katoa e tae ai tāua, kōrero mōku, "Ko tōku tungāne ia." ’ "

14 Nā, ka tīkina e Apīmereke he hipi, he kau, he pononga tāne, he pononga wāhine, ā, hoatu ana e ia ki a Āperahama, ā, whakahokia ana e ia a Hara, tāna wahine, ki a ia. 15 Ā, ka mea a Apīmereke, "Nanā, kei tōu aroaro tōku whenua; nohoia e koe te wāhi e pai ana ki tāu titiro." 16 Ā, ki a Hara i mea ia, "Nanā, kua hoatu e ahau ki tōu tungāne kotahi mano ngā hiriwa; nā, hei uhi tēnā mō ōu kanohi ki ngā tāngata katoa i a koe; hei tohu hoki mō tōu tika i katoa."

17 Kātahi ka īnoi a Āperahama ki te Atua; nā, kua ora i te Atua a Apīmereke, rātou ko tāna wahine, ko āna pononga wāhine; ā, ka whānau tamariki rātou. 18 Kua tūtakina rawatia hoki e Ihowā ngā kōpū katoa o te whare o Apīmereke, mō Hara, mō te wahine a Āperahama.
