Aberahame le Abimeleke
1Aberahame a tswa gone a etela kwa lefatsheng le le kwa Borwa, a aga fa gare ga Kateše le Shure; a jaka mo Gerare. 2Aberahame a bua ka ga Sara, mosadi wa gagwe, a re: “Ke kgaitsadiake:” Abimeleke kgosi ya Gerare a roma a ya go tsaya Sara. 3Modimo wa tla mo go Abimeleke ka toro bosigo, wa mo raya wa re: “Bona, o moswi fela ka ntlha ya mosadi yo o mo tsereng; ka gobo e le mosadi wa monna o sele.”
4Jaana Abimeleke o ne a ise a mo atamele; a re: “Morena a o tlaa bolaya le morafe o o siameng? 5A le ene ka esi ga a nthaya a re: ‘Ke kgaitsadiake’? Le ene mosadi ka esi o rile: ‘Ke kgaitsadie.’ Ke dirile seo se ka pelo e e siameng fela, le ka diatla tse di phepa fela.”
6Modimo wa mo raya mo torong wa re: “Ee, ke a itse fa o dirile seo se ka pelo e e siameng fela, le gone le nna ka go kganela gore o se ka wa nteofela. Ke gone ka mo ke se kang ka go leseletsa go mo ama. 7Ke gone jaana, rebolela monna mosadi wa gagwe; gonne ene ke moperofite, o tlaa go rapelela, mme o tlaa tshela. Fa o sa mo rebole, o bo o itse fa ruri o tlaa swa, wena le botlhe ba e leng ba gago.”
8Abimeleke a phakela ka moso, a bitsa batlhanka botlhe ba gagwe, a bolela dilo tse mo ditsebeng tsa bone; banna ba boifa thata. 9Foo Abimeleke a bitsa Aberahame, a mo raya a re: “Ana o re diretse eng? Ke go leofetse mo go eng fa e bo ne ne jaana o tliseditse nna, le bogosi jwa me namane e tona ya boleo? O ntiretse ditiro tse di sa tshwanelang go dirwa.” 10Abimeleke a raya Aberahame a re: “O ne o ikaeletse eng fa o ne o dira jaana?”
11Aberahame a re: “Ke ka gonne ke ne ke gopotse gore ruri ga go na ope yo o boifang Modimo mo felong fano. Ka re, ba tlaa mpolaya ka ntlha ya mosadi wa me. 12Le mororo ruri ke kgaitsadiake, morwadia rre, mme e seng morwadia mme, mme a tla a nna mosadi wa me. 13E rile Modimo o nkgarakgatsha ke tswa ntlong ya ga rre, ka raya mosadi ka re: ‘Pelonomi ke e, e o tlaa e ntshupetsang; felong gongwe le gongwe kwa re tlaa fitlhang gone, o bolele ka ga me o re: Ke kgaitsadiake.’ ”
14Abimeleke a tsaya dinku le dikgomo, le batlhanka, le malata, a di naya Aberahame, a ba a mo rebolela Sara mosadi wa gagwe. 15Abimeleke a re: “Bona, lefatshe la me ke leo le fa pele ga gago; aga fela kwa o go ratang.” 16A raya Sara a re: “Bona, ke neile kgaitsadio dipapetla tsa selefera di le 1 000. Bona, ke sebipo sa matlho mo go botlhe ba o nang nabo; mme o siamisitswe fa pele ga batho botlhe.”
17Aberahame a rapela Modimo; Modimo wa fodisa Abimeleke, le mosadi wa gagwe, le malata a gagwe; ba bona bana. 18Gonne Jehofa o ne a tswaletse ruri dipopelo tsotlhe tsa ba ntlo ya ga Abimeleke, ka ntlha ya ga Sara, mosadi wa ga Aberahame.
