3 Pavuli paki, Chiuta wanguza kwaku Abimeleki mu malotu ndi usiku, ndipu wangumukambiya kuti: “Ufwengi chifukwa cha munthukazi yo wato,+ pakuti ngwakuyirwa ndipu ndi muwolu wamweni.”+
4 Kweni Abimeleki wenga wechendamukwaski Sara.* Mwaviyo wangukamba kuti: “Yehova, kumbi mubayengi mtundu wambula kunanga?*
5 Asi Abrahamu wangundikambiya kuti Sara ndi mzichi waki, ndipu Sara nayu asi wangundikambiya kuti Abrahamu ndi mzichi waki? Ndichichita ivi mtima wangu ungundisuska cha kweniso ndinguziŵa cha kuti ndinangisa.”*
6 Mu malotu ngo, Chiuta wauneneska wangukambiya Abimeleki kuti: “Ndiziŵa kuti uchichita ivi, mtima waku ungukususka cha, ndichu chifukwa chaki ndingukuzomereza cha kuti umukwaski pakuti ukamukwaskengi, watingi undinangiyengi.
7 Sonu muweze muwolu waki chifukwa ndi mchimi,+ ndipu waŵeyeriyengi mumalu mwaku yiwi+ kuti uleki kufwa. Kweni asani ulekengi kuweza munthukazi yo, ziŵa kuti ufwengi nadi, yiwi ndi ŵanthu ŵaku wosi.”
8 Abimeleki wanguyuka ndi mlenjilenji, wangudana ateŵeti ŵaki wosi ndi kuŵakambiya vinthu vosi venivi, ndipu anguchita mantha ukongwa.
9 Pavuli paki, Abimeleki wangudana Abrahamu ndi kumukambiya kuti: “Ntchinthu wuli cho watichitiya? Ndakunangiyanji kuti uchitiski ubudi ukulu viyo kuza paku ini ndi ufumu wangu. Vo wandichitiya vamampha cha.”
10 Ndipu Abimeleki wangulutirizga kukambiya Abrahamu kuti: “Ntchifukwa wuli unguchita ivi?”+
11 Abrahamu wangukamba kuti: “Chenga chifukwa chakuti mumtima mwangu ndinguŵanaŵana kuti, ‘Ŵanthu a kunu atopa Chiuta cha ndipu andibayengi chifukwa cha muwolu wangu.’+
12 Kweniso ndi mzichi wangu nadi, ndi mwana wa ada kweni tipambana ama, ndipu ndikumuto nthengwa.+
13 Sonu Chiuta wati wandituzgaku kunyumba kwa ada+ kuti ndisamengisamengi, ndingukambiya muwolu wangu kuti: ‘Kwekosi ko tikengi, ukandilongongi chanju chambula kumala mwakukambiya ŵanthu kuti, “Ndi mzichi wangu.”’”+
14 Sonu Abimeleki wangupereka mbereri, ng’ombi, ateŵeti anthulumi ndi ateŵeti anthukazi kwaku Abrahamu, ndipu wangumuweze muwolu waki Sara.
15 Abimeleki wangukambiya so Abrahamu kuti: “Charu chosi ichi ntchangu. Ungaja peposi po wakhumba.”
16 Ndipu wangukambiya Sara kuti: “Ndipereka ndalama 1,000 zasiliva ku mzichi waku.+ Ndalama zenizi ntchisimikizu* ku ŵanthu wo ŵe ndi yiwi kweniso ku munthu weyosi, kuti wachita chinthu chechosi cha chiheni ndipu ŵanthu akunyozengi cha.”
17 Sonu Abrahamu wangwamba kuŵeyere Chiuta wauneneska, ndipu Chiuta wanguchizga Abimeleki, muwolu waki ndi akapolu ŵaki asungwana, ndipu angwamba kubala ŵana,
18 pakuti Yehova wanguchitiska kuti anthukazi wosi munyumba yaku Abimeleki aje achumba* chifukwa chaku Sara, muwolu waku Abrahamu.+
