ZAJP
Ablaham kasegela kulawa Mamle kachola muisi ya Negebu na kukala hagatigati ya isi za Kadeshi na Shuli. Abaho kasegela kachola kukala mdiwambo da Gelali mkipigiti kidodo,
BSB
BSB:
Now Abraham journeyed from there to the region of the Negev and settled between Kadesh and Shur. While he was staying in Gerar,
2
ZAJP
hanhu haja Ablaham kuyamulongile Sala mtwanzi wake, “Ino iyo lumbu jangu.” Abaho Abimeleki mndewa wa Gelali kamsola Sala na kumtenda kuwa mtwanzi wake.
BSB
BSB:
Abraham said of his wife Sarah, “She is my sister.” So Abimelech king of Gerar had Sarah brought to him.
3
ZAJP
Ila ikilo imwe Mulungu kamulawilila Abimeleki muinzozi, kamulongela, “Kodanganhika sama ya imtwanzi yuumsolile, kwavija kumsola mtwanzi wa munhu.”
BSB
BSB:
One night, however, God came to Abimelech in a dream and told him, “You are as good as dead because of the woman you have taken, for she is a married woman.”
4
ZAJP
Abimeleki hamkwenhukile ija imtwanzi, avo kalonga, “Mndewa, kolonda kuwabananga wanhu walibule uzenzeleganye?
BSB
BSB:
Now Abimelech had not gone near her, so he replied, “Lord, would You destroy a nation even though it is innocent?
5
ZAJP
Ablaham mwenyego kalonga kamba heyo kakala lumbu jake, na imtwanzi kalonga vivija. Nitenda vino na nia inogile, na sitendile mbuli ihile.”
BSB
BSB:
Didn’t Abraham tell me, ‘She is my sister’? And she herself said, ‘He is my brother.’ I have done this in the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands.”
6
ZAJP
Abaho Mulungu kamulongela muinzozi, “Ona, nivitanga kamba kutenda vino na nia inogile, avo nikwimiliza giladi sambiunitende vilozo. Kino kicho kilamso kamba sikulekile umkwase.
BSB
BSB:
Then God said to Abimelech in the dream, “Yes, I know that you did this with a clear conscience, and so I have kept you from sinning against Me. That is why I did not let you touch her.
7
ZAJP
M'bweze mtwanzi wa munhu, kwavija mbigalo wake muhokozi, na heyo kokutambikila na gweye kowa mgima. Ila kamba hum'bwezile, uvitange kamba gweye na wanhu zako wose modanganhika.”
BSB
BSB:
Now return the man’s wife, for he is a prophet; he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not restore her, be aware that you will surely die—you and all who belong to you.”
8
ZAJP
Imitondo ng'hani ya zua diyagwe, Abimeleki kawakema wakulu zake wose na kuwalongela gaja galawilile, na hewo wadumba ng'hani.
BSB
BSB:
Early the next morning Abimelech got up and summoned all his servants; and when he described to them all that had happened, the men were terrified.
9
ZAJP
Abaho Abimeleki kamkema Ablaham, kamulongela, “Kututendela choni? Mbuli yaki ihile inikutendile mbaka kugala nhaguso ng'hulu kumwangu nie na muundewa wangu? Kunitendela vinhu havilondigwe kutendeka.
BSB
BSB:
Then Abimelech called Abraham and asked, “What have you done to us? How have I sinned against you, that you have brought such tremendous guilt upon me and my kingdom? You have done things to me that should not be done.”
10
ZAJP
Habali utendile gano?”
BSB
BSB:
Abimelech also asked Abraham, “What prompted you to do such a thing?”
11
ZAJP
Ablaham kamwidika, kamulongela, “Nitenda vino kwavija nigelegeza kamba wanhu wa isi ino wabule kidumbo cha Mulungu, avo wodaha kung'homa sama ya mtwanzi wangu.
BSB
BSB:
Abraham replied, “I thought to myself, ‘Surely there is no fear of God in this place. They will kill me on account of my wife.’
12
ZAJP
Kweli heyo lumbu jangu, kwavija tweye twa wana wa tata imwe, ila kila munhu kana mamaake. Na nie nimsola heyo yawe mtwanzi wangu.
BSB
BSB:
Besides, she really is my sister, the daughter of my father—though not the daughter of my mother—and she became my wife.
13
ZAJP
Mulungu viyanikemile kulawa mng'anda ya tataangu, nimulongela mtwanzi wangu, ‘Kamba uhaninogela nie, kila hanhu hatuchola, mulongele kila munhu kamba nie iyo lumbu jako.’ ”
BSB
BSB:
So when God had me journey from my father’s house, I said to Sarah, ‘This is how you can show your loyalty to me: Wherever we go, say of me, “He is my brother.”’”
14
ZAJP
Abaho Abimeleki kasola ng'hondolo na ng'ombe, na nyakadala wakitwanzi na wakimbigalo kamgwelela Ablaham, na kum'bwezela Sala mtwanzi wake.
BSB
BSB:
So Abimelech brought sheep and cattle, menservants and maidservants, and he gave them to Abraham and restored his wife Sarah to him.
15
ZAJP
Abimeleki kamulongela Ablaham, “Isi ino yose yangu nie, kala hanhu hohose haulonda.”
BSB
BSB:
And Abimelech said, “Look, my land is before you. Settle wherever you please.”
16
ZAJP
Abaho kamulongela Sala, “Nimgwelela lumbu jako vidanga alufu imwe va feza haulongozi wa wanhu wose wali hamoja na gweye, giladi kugubika mbuli zihile zinikutendele, na kila munhu kovitanga kamba hutendile mbuli ihile.”
BSB
BSB:
And he said to Sarah, “See, I am giving your brother a thousand pieces of silver. It is your vindication before all who are with you; you are completely cleared.”
17
ZAJP
Abaho Ablaham katambika ha Mulungu. Mulungu kamuhonya Abimeleki na mtwanzi wake na nyakadala zake wa kitwanzi giladi wadahe kupata wana kabili.
BSB
BSB:
Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech and his wife and his maidservants, so that they could again bear children—
18
ZAJP
Kwavija MNDEWA kakala yazifungile inda za wanhu wose wali mng'anda ya Abimeleki sama ya Sala, mtwanzi wa Ablaham.
BSB
BSB:
for on account of Abraham’s wife Sarah, the LORD had completely closed all the wombs in Abimelech’s household.
