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.
А Аврам отиде оданде на југ, и стани се између Кадиса и Сура; и живеше као дошљак у Герару.
2 Abraham said about Sarah his wife, “She is my sister.” Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
И говораше за жену своју Сару: Сестра ми је. А цар герарски Авимелех посла те узе Сару.
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.”
Али дође Бог Авимелеху ноћу у сну, и рече му: Гле, погинућеш са жене коју си узео, јер има мужа.
4 Now Abimelech had not come near her. He said, “Lord, will you kill even a righteous nation?
А Авимелех не беше се ње дотакао, и зато рече: Господе, еда ли ћеш и праведан народ погубити?
5 Didn’t 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.”
Није ли ми сам казао: Сестра ми је? А и она сама каза: Брат ми је. Учинио сам у чистоти срца свог и у правди руку својих.
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 didn’t allow you to touch her.
Тада му рече Бог у сну: Знам да си учинио у чистоти срца свог, зато те сачувах да ми не сагрешиш, и не дадох да је се дотакнеш.
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 don’t restore her, know for sure that you will die, you, and all who are yours.”
А сада врати човеку жену његову, јер је пророк, и молиће се за те, те ћеш остати жив. Ако ли не вратиш, знај да ћеш умрети ти и сви твоји.
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 ујутру рано уста Авимелех, и сазва све слуге своје, и каза им све ово да чују. И уплашише се људи веома.
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!”
Тада Авимелех дозва Аврама и рече му: Шта си нам учинио? Шта ли сам ти згрешио, те навуче на ме и на царство моје толико зло? Учинио си ми шта не ваља чинити.
10 Abimelech said to Abraham, “What did you see, that you have done this thing?”
И још рече Авимелех Авраму: Шта ти је било, те си то учинио?
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.’
А Аврам одговори: Говорих: јамачно нема страха Божјег у овом месту, па ће ме убити ради жене моје.
12 Besides, she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
А управо и јесте ми сестра, кћи оца мог; али није кћи моје матере, па пође за ме.
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.”’”
А кад ме Бог изведе из дома оца мог, ја јој рекох: Учини добро, и кажи за ме где год дођемо: Брат ми је.
14 Abimelech took sheep and cattle, male servants and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored Sarah, his wife, to him.
Тада Авимелех узе оваца и говеда и слуга и слушкиња, те даде Авраму, и врати му Сару жену његову.
15 Abimelech said, “Behold, my land is before you. Dwell where it pleases you.”
И рече Авимелех Авраму: Ево, земља ти је моја отворена, живи слободно где ти је воља.
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.”
А Сари рече: Ево дао сам твом брату хиљаду сребрника; гле, он ти је очима покривало пред свима који буду с тобом; и то све да ти је за науку.
17 Abraham prayed to God. So God healed Abimelech, his wife, and his female servants, and they bore children.
И Аврам се помоли Богу, и исцели Бог Авимелеха и жену његову и слушкиње његове, те рађаху.
18 For the LORD had closed up tight all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham’s wife.
Јер Господ беше сасвим затворио сваку материцу у дому Авимелеховом ради Саре жене Аврамове.
