Genesis 20

¹¶ Na ka turia atu e Aperahama i reira ki te whenua i te tonga, a ka noho ki waenganui o Karehe, o Huru, a ka noho ia ki Kerara, he noho manene.

²Na ko Hara, ko tana wahine, ka kiia e Aperahama, Ko toku tuahine ia: a ka tonoa mai e Apimereke kingi o Kerara, tangohia atu ana a Hara.

³¶ Na ka puta moemoea mai te Atua ki a Apimereke i te po, ka mea ki a ia, Nana, ka mate koe mo te wahine i tangohia nei i koe; he wahine hoki ia na te tane.

⁴Kahore ano ia a Apimereke kia tata noa ki a ia; a ka mea ia, E te Ariki, ka whakamate ano ranei koe i te iwi tika?

⁵Kahore ranei ia i mea mai ki ahau, Ko toku tuahine ia? me te wahine hoki, i mea mai ano ia, Ko toku tungane ia: he tapatahi toku ngakau, he harakore hoki oku ringa i mea ai ahau i tenei mea.

⁶A ka korero moemoea mai te Atua ki a ia, Ae ra, i mohio tonu ahau he tapatahi tou ngakau i a koe i mea ai i tenei mea; i pupuri hoki ahau i a koe kei hara koe ki ahau; na reira koe te tukua ai e ahau kia pa ki a ia.

⁷Na, whakahokia akuanei te wahine a tena tangata; no te mea hoki he poropiti ia, a mana e inoi mou, a ka ora koe: ki te kore e whakahokia e koe, kia mohio koe, ka tino mate koe, koutou ko nga mea katoa i a koe.

⁸¶ Na i te ata tu ka maranga a Apimereke, karangatia ana ana tangata katoa, a korerotia ana enei mea katoa ki o ratou taringa: a nui atu te wehi o aua tangata.

⁹Na ka karanga a Apimereke ki a Aperahama, ka mea ki a ia, He mahi aha tenei au ki a matou? a he aha toku hara ki a koe, i takina mai ai e koe he hara nui ki ahau, ki toku kingitanga ano hoki? kua meinga e koe etahi mea ki ahau kahore nei i tika k ia mahia.

¹⁰A ka mea ano a Apimereke ki a Aperahama, I kite koe i te aha i meatia ai tenei mea e koe?

¹¹Na ka mea a Aperahama, I mahara hoki ahau, He pono, kahore te wehi o te Atua i tenei wahi; a ka patua ahau e ratou mo taku wahine.

¹²He pono ano ia he tuahine ia noku, ko te tamahine a toku papa, otiia ehara i te tamahine na toku whaea; a ka noho hei wahine maku:

¹³A, i ta te Atua meatanga i ahau kia kopiko haere ake i te whare o toku papa, ka mea ahau ki a ia, Ko tou aroha tenei, hei whakaputa mau ki ahau: hei nga wahi katoa e tae ai taua, korero moku, Ko toku tungane ia.

¹⁴¶ Na ka tikina e Apimereke he hipi, he kau, he pononga tane, he pononga wahine, a hoatu ana e ia ki a Aperahama, a whakahokia ana e ia a Hara, tana wahine, ki a ia.

¹⁵A ka mea a Apimereke, Nana, kei tou aroaro toku whenua: nohoia e koe te wahi e pai ana ki tau titiro.

¹⁶A ki a Hara i mea ia, Nana, kua hoatu e ahua ki tou tungane kotahi mano nga hiriwa: na, hei uhi tena mo ou kanohi ki nga tangata katoa i a koe; hei tohu hoki mo tou tika i katoa.

¹⁷Katahi ka inoi a Aperahama ki te Atua: na kua ora i te Atua a Apimereke, ratou ko tana wahine, ko ana pononga wahine; a ka whanau tamariki ratou.

¹⁸Kua tutakina rawatia hoki e Ihowa nga kopu katoa o te whare o Apimereke, mo Hara, mo te wahine a Aperahama.
