< Genesis 20 >

1 Abraham traveled from there toward the land of the South, and lived between Kadesh and Shur. He lived as a foreigner in Gerar.
И пойде оттуду Авраам на землю полуденную и вселися между Кадисом и между Суром: и обита в Герарех.
2 Abraham said about Sarah his wife, “She is my sister.” Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
Рече же Авраам о Сарре жене своей, яко сестра ми есть: убояся бо рещи, яко жена ми есть, да не когда убиют его мужие градстии ея ради. Посла же Авимелех царь Герарский и взя Сарру.
3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, “Behold, you are a dead man, because of the woman whom you have taken; for she is a man’s wife.”
И прииде Бог ко Авимелеху нощию во сне и рече ему: се, ты умираеши жены ради сея, юже поял еси: сия же есть сожителствующая мужу.
4 Now Abimelech had not come near her. He said, “Lord, will you kill even a righteous nation?
Авимелех же не прикоснуся ей и рече: Господи, язык неведущий и праведен погубиши ли?
5 Did not he tell me, ‘She is my sister’? She, even she herself, said, ‘He is my brother.’ I have done this in the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands.”
Не сам ли ми рече: сестра ми есть? И сия ми рече: брат ми есть? Чистым сердцем и в правде рук сотворих сие.
6 God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also withheld you from sinning against me. Therefore I did not allow you to touch her.
Рече же ему Бог во сне: и Аз познах, яко чистым сердцем сотворил еси сие, и пощадех тя, да не согрешиши ко Мне: сего ради не попустих ти коснутися ея:
7 Now therefore, restore the man’s wife. For he is a prophet, and he will pray for you, and you will live. If you do not restore her, know for sure that you will die, you, and all who are yours.”
ныне же отдаждь жену мужу, яко пророк есть, и помолится о тебе, и жив будеши: аще же не отдаси, веждь, яко умреши ты и вся твоя.
8 Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ear. The men were very scared.
И воста рано Авимелех, и призва вся отроки своя, и глагола словеса сия вся во ушы их: убояшася же вси человецы зело.
9 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him, “What have you done to us? How have I sinned against you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You have done deeds to me that ought not to be done!”
И призва Авимелех Авраама и рече ему: что сие сотворил еси нам? Еда что согрешихом тебе, яко навел еси на мя и на царство мое грех велик? Дело, еже никтоже сотвори, сотворил еси мне.
10 Abimelech said to Abraham, “What did you see, that you have done this thing?”
И рече Авимелех Аврааму: что умыслив, сотворил еси сие?
11 Abraham said, “Because I thought, ‘Surely the fear of God is not in this place. They will kill me for my wife’s sake.’
Рече же Авраам: рекох бо: негли несть благочестия на месте сем: и убиют мя жены ради моея:
12 Besides, she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
ибо истинно сестра ми есть по отцу, а не по матери: бысть же ми в жену:
13 When God caused me to wander from my father’s house, I said to her, ‘This is your kindness which you shall show to me. Everywhere that we go, say of me, “He is my brother.”’”
и бысть егда изведе мя Бог от дому отца моего, и рех ей: правду сию сотвориши ми: во всяко место, идеже аще приидем, тамо рцы о мне, яко брат ми есть.
14 Abimelech took sheep and cattle, male servants and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored Sarah, his wife, to him.
Взя же Авимелех тысящу дидрахм (сребра), и овцы, и телцы, и рабы, и рабыни, и даде Аврааму: и отдаде ему Сарру жену его.
15 Abimelech said, “Behold, my land is before you. Dwell where it pleases you.”
И рече Авимелех Аврааму: се, земля моя пред тобою: идеже аще тебе угодно есть, вселися.
16 To Sarah he said, “Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver. Behold, it is for you a covering of the eyes to all that are with you. In front of all you are vindicated.”
Сарре же рече: се, дах тысящу дидрахм брату твоему: сия будут тебе в честь лица твоего, и всем, яже суть с тобою, и во всем истинствуй.
17 Abraham prayed to God. So God healed Abimelech, his wife, and his female servants, and they bore children.
Помолися же Авраам Богу, и исцели Бог Авимелеха и жену его и рабыни его, и начаша раждати:
18 For the LORD had closed up tight all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham’s wife.
яко заключая заключи Господь от внеуду всяка ложесна в дому Авимелеха, Сарры ради жены Авраамли.
