1 Мојсијева 20
1 А Аврам отиде оданде на југ, и стани се између Кадиса и Сура; и живеше као дошљак у Герару.
And Abraam removed thence to the southern country, and lived between Cades and Sur, and sojourned in Gerara.
2 И говораше за жену своју Сару: Сестра ми је. А цар герарски Авимелех посла те узе Сару.
And Abraam said concerning Sarrha his wife, She is my sister, for he feared to say, She is my wife, lest at any time the men of the city should kill him for her sake. So Abimelech king of Gerara sent and took Sarrha.
3 Али дође Бог Авимелеху ноћу у сну, и рече му: Гле, погинућеш са жене коју си узео, јер има мужа.
And God came to Abimelech by night in sleep, and said, Behold, you die for the woman, whom you have taken, whereas she has lived with a husband.
4 А Авимелех не беше се ње дотакао, и зато рече: Господе, еда ли ћеш и праведан народ погубити?
But Abimelech had not touched her, and he said, Lord, will you destroy an ignorantly [sinning] and just nation?
5 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.
Said he not to me, She is my sister, and said she not to me, He is my brother? with a pure heart and in the righteousness of my hands have I done this.
6 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.
And God said to him in sleep, Yes, I knew that you did this with a pure heart, and I spared you, so that you should not sin against me, therefore I suffered you not to touch her.
7 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.
But now return the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and shall pray for you, and you shall live; but if you restore her not, know that you shall die and all your.
8 И ујутру рано уста Авимелех, и сазва све слуге своје, и каза им све ово да чују. И уплашише се људи веома.
And Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and he spoke all these words in their ears, and all the men feared exceedingly.
9 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.
And Abimelech called Abraam and said to him, What is this that you have done to us? Have we sinned against you, that you have brought upon me and upon my kingdom a great sin? You have done to me a deed, which no one ought to do.
10 И још рече Авимелех Авраму: Шта ти је било, те си то учинио?
And Abimelech said to Abraam, What have you seen in [me] that you have done this?
11 А Аврам одговори: Говорих: јамачно нема страха Божјег у овом месту, па ће ме убити ради жене моје.
And Abraam said, Why I said, Surely there is not the worship of God in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.
12 А управо и јесте ми сестра, кћи оца мог; али није кћи моје матере, па пође за ме.
For truly she is my sister by my father, but not by my mother, and she became my wife.
13 А кад ме Бог изведе из дома оца мог, ја јој рекох: Учини добро, и кажи за ме где год дођемо: Брат ми је.
And it came to pass when God brought me forth out of the house of my father, that I said to her, This righteousness you shall perform to me, in every place into which we may enter, say of me, He is my brother.
14 Тада Авимелех узе оваца и говеда и слуга и слушкиња, те даде Авраму, и врати му Сару жену његову.
And Abimelech took a thousand pieces of silver, and sheep, and calves, and servants, and maidservants, and gave them to Abraam, and he returned him Sarrha his wife.
15 И рече Авимелех Авраму: Ево, земља ти је моја отворена, живи слободно где ти је воља.
And Abimelech said to Abraam, Behold, my land is before you, dwell wherever it may please you.
16 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.
And to Sarrha he said, Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver, those shall be to you for the price of your countenance, and to all the women with you, and speak the truth in all things.
17 И Аврам се помоли Богу, и исцели Бог Авимелеха и жену његову и слушкиње његове, те рађаху.
And Abraam prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his women servants, and they bore children.
18 Јер Господ беше сасвим затворио сваку материцу у дому Авимелеховом ради Саре жене Аврамове.
Because the Lord had fast closed from without every womb in the house of Abimelech, because of Sarrha Abraam's wife.
