Sara aombolwa mʼmanja mwa Abhimeleki (1-18)
20 Buluka penepo, Abhrahamu athukusa nsasa wace kweneko+ mbaenda ku dziko ya Nejebhu, mbakhala pakati pa Kadhesi+ na Suri.+ Pikakhala iye* ku Jerari,+
2 Abhrahamu alonga pontho thangwi ya Sara nkazace: “Iye ndi mʼbale wanga.”+ Natenepa Abhimeleki mambo wa ku Jerari atuma atumiki ace toera abwerese Sara.+
3 Buluka penepo, Mulungu aonekera kuna Abhimeleki mu ndoto namasiku, mbampanga: “Mwandimomwene iwe unafa thangwi ya nkazi adakwata+ iwe, thangwi iye ndi nkazi wa mwanaciro.”+
4 Mbwenye Abhimeleki akhadzati kugona naye.* Natenepa iye alonga: “Yahova, munaphadi mbumba yakusowa mulando?*
5 Kodi Abhrahamu nee andipanga kuti ‘iye ndi mʼbale wanga,’ pontho Sara nee andipanga kuti iye ‘ndi mʼbale wanga’? Ndacita pyenepi na ntima wadidi,* pontho nee ndikhapidziwa kuti ndikucita pinthu pyakuipa.”
6 Penepo Mulungu wandimomwene ampanga mu ndoto: “Ndisadziwa kuti wacita pyenepi na ntima wadidi, na thangwi ineyi ine ndakupingiza toera ukhonde kundidawira, pontho nee ndakutawirisa kuti ugone naye.*
7 Cincino pereka nkazi unoyu kuna mamunace. Mamuna unoyu ndi mprofeta,+ pontho iye anadzacita phembero yakudembetera thangwi ya iwe,+ natenepa unapitiriza kukhala mʼmaso. Mbwenye ungakhonda kumpereka, dziwa kuti mwandimomwene iwe na anthu onsene a panyumba pako munadzafa.”
8 Mangwana mwace namacibese, Abhimeleki alamuka, acemera atumiki ace onsene mbaapanga mphangwa zenezi zonsene, natenepa iwo agopa kakamwe.
9 Buluka penepo, Abhimeleki acemera Abhrahamu mbampanga: “Ninji pidaticitira iwe? Ndakudawiranji toera undibweresere mulando ukulu ninga unoyu kuna ine na umambo wanga? Pidandicitira iwe si pyadidi tayu.”
10 Abhimeleki abvundza Abhrahamu: “Makamaka ukhafunanji pidacita iwe pinthu pyenepi?”+
11 Abhrahamu atawira: “Ine ndacita pyenepi thangwi ndanyerezera kuti: ‘Mwandimomwene anthu a kuno nkhabe kugopa Mulungu, natenepa iwo anandipha thangwi ya nkazanga.’+
12 Kusiyapo pyenepi, mwandimomwene iye ndi mʼbale wanga, mwana wa pai wanga, mbwenye nee ndi mwana wa mai wanga; pontho iye adzakhala nkazanga.+
13 Natenepa, pidandipanga Mulungu toera kubuluka panyumba ya pai wanga+ toera kukhala mu mbuto zakusiyana-siyana, ine ndampanga: ‘Cita ipi toera upangize ufuni wandimomwene kuna ine: Konsene kwene kunafuna kuenda ife, longa kuti: “Iye ndi mʼbale wanga.”’”+
14 Buluka penepo, Abhimeleki akwata mabira, ngʼombe, atumiki amuna na akazi mbapereka kuna Abhrahamu, pontho amʼbwezera Sara nkazace.
15 Abhimeleki ampangambo: “Dziko yanga yonsene iri pamaso pako. Unakwanisa kukhala kule kunafuna iwe.”
16 Iye apangambo Sara: “Ndiri kupereka kuna mʼbale wako+ kobiri 1.000 za parata. Kobiri ineyi ndi toera kupangiza kuna anthu ali na iwe na kuna anthu onsene kuti nee wacita cinthu cakuipa, pontho kuti nee wapasika manyadzo.”
17 Abhrahamu acita phembero yakudembetera kuna Mulungu wandimomwene, penepo Mulungu awangisa Abhimeleki, nkazace na anyabasa ace akazi, iwo mbatoma kubala ana;
18 thangwi Yahova akhadapingiza akazi onsene a panyumba ya Abhimeleki toera akhonde kubala ana thangwi ya Sara, nkazi+ wa Abhrahamu.
