Genesis 20

1 And Abraham journeyed from thence towards the south country, and dwelt between Kadash and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.

A Avram otide odande na jug, i stani se izmeðu Kadisa i Sura; i življaše kao došljak u Geraru.

2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, she is my sister: And Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.

I govoraše za ženu svoju Saru: sestra mi je. A car Gerarski Avimeleh posla, te uze Saru.

3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou [art but] a dead man, on account of the woman whom thou hast taken: for she [is] a man's wife.

Ali doðe Bog Avimelehu noæu u snu, i reèe mu: gle, poginuæeš sa žene koju si uzeo, jer ima muža.

4 But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, LORD, wilt thou also slay a righteous nation?

A Avimeleh ne bješe se nje dotakao, i zato reèe: Gospode, eda li æeš i pravedan narod pogubiti?

5 Said he not to me, She [is] my sister? and she, even she herself said, He [is] my brother: in the integrity of my heart, and innocence of my hands have I done this.

Nije li mi sam kazao: sestra mi je? a i ona sama kaza: brat mi je. Uèinio sam u èistoti srca svojega i u pravdi ruku svojih.

6 And God said to him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore I suffered thee not to touch her.

Tada mu reèe Bog u snu: znam da si uèinio u èistoti srca svojega, zato te saèuvah da mi ne sagriješiš, i ne dadoh da je se dotakneš.

7 Now therefore restore to the man [his] wife, for he [is] a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou shalt not restore [her], know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou and all that [are] thine.

A sada vrati èovjeku ženu njegovu, jer je prorok, i moliæe se za te, te æeš ostati živ. Ako li ne vratiš, znaj da æeš umrijeti ti i svi tvoji.

8 Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were greatly afraid.

I ujutru rano usta Avimeleh, i sazva sve sluge svoje, i kaza im sve ovo da èuju. I uplašiše se ljudi veoma.

9 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him, What has thou done to us? and in what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds to me that ought not to be done.

Tada Avimeleh dozva Avrama i reèe mu: šta si nam uèinio? šta li sam ti zgriješio, te navuèe na me i na carstvo moje toliko zlo? Uèinio si mi što ne valja èiniti.

10 And Abimelech said to Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?

I još reèe Avimeleh Avramu: šta ti je bilo, te si to uèinio?

11 And Abraham said, Because I thought, surely the fear of God [is] not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake.

A Avram odgovori: veljah: jamaèno nema straha Božijega u ovom mjestu, pa æe me ubiti radi žene moje.

12 And yet indeed [she is] my sister: she [is] the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.

A upravo i jest mi sestra, kæi oca mojega; ali nije kæi moje matere, pa poðe za me.

13 And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said to her, This [is] thy kindness which thou shalt show to me; At every place whither we shall come, say of me, He [is] my brother.

A kad me Bog izvede iz doma oca mojega, ja joj rekoh: uèini dobro, i kaži za me gdje god doðemo: brat mi je.

14 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and men-servants, and women-servants, and gave [them] to Abraham, and restored to him Sarah his wife.

Tada Avimeleh uze ovaca i goveda i sluga i sluškinja, te dade Avramu, i vrati mu Saru ženu njegovu.

15 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land [is] before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.

I reèe Avimeleh Avramu: evo, zemlja ti je moja otvorena, živi slobodno gdje ti je volja.

16 And to Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand [pieces] of silver: behold, he [is] to thee a covering of the eyes, to all that [are] with thee, and with all [other]: thus she was reproved.

A Sari reèe: evo dao sam tvojemu bratu tisuæu srebrnika; gle, on ti je oèima pokrivalo pred svima koji budu s tobom; i to sve da ti je za nauku.

17 So Abraham prayed to God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maid-servants, and they bore [children].

I Avram se pomoli Bogu, i iscijeli Bog Avimeleha i ženu njegovu i sluškinje njegove, te raðahu.

18 For the LORD had made barren all the females of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.

Jer Gospod bješe sasvijem zatvorio svaku matericu u domu Avimelehovu radi Sare žene Avramove.
