Genesis 20
1 And Abraham journeyed from there toward the land of the South, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur. And he sojourned in Gerar.
Profectus inde Abraham in terram australem, habitavit inter Cades, et Sur: et peregrinatus est in Geraris.
2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister. And Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
Dixitque de Sara uxore suo, Soror mea est. Misit ergo Abimelech rex Geraræ, et tulit eam.
3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, Behold, thou are but a dead man, because of the woman whom thou have taken, for she is a man's wife.
Venit autem Deus ad Abimelech per somnium nocte, et ait illi: En morieris propter mulierem, quam tulisti: habet enim virum.
4 Now Abimelech had not come near her. And he said, Lord, will thou slay even a righteous nation?
Abimelech vero non tetigerat eam, et ait: Domine, num gentem ignorantem et iustam interficies?
5 Did he not himself say to me, She is my sister? And she, even she herself said, He is my brother. In the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands I have done this.
Nonne ipse dixit mihi: Soror mea est: et ipsa ait: Frater meus est? in simplictate cordis mei, et munditia manuum mearum feci hoc.
6 And God said to him in the dream, Yes, I know that in the integrity of thy heart thou have done this. And I also withheld thee from sinning against me. Therefore I did not allow thee to touch her.
Dixitque ad eum Deus: Et ego scio quod simplici corde feceris: et ideo custodivi te ne peccares in me, et non dimisi ut tangeres eam.
7 Now therefore restore the man's wife. For he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shall live. And if thou do not restore her, know thou that thou shall surely die, thou, and all that are thine.
Nunc ergo redde viro suo uxorem, quia propheta est: et orabit pro te, et vives: si autem nolueris reddere, scito quod morte morieris tu, et omnia quæ tua sunt.
8 And Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ear. And the men were exceedingly afraid.
Statimque de nocte consurgens Abimelech, vocavit omnes servos suos: et locutus est universa verba hæc in auribus eorum, timueruntque omnes viri valde.
9 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him, What have thou done to us? And in what have I sinned against thee, that thou have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? Thou have done deeds to me that ought not to be done.
Vocavit autem Abimelech etiam Abraham, et dixit ei: Quid fecisti nobis? quid peccavimus in te, quia induxisti super me et super regnum meum peccatum grande? quæ non debuisti facere, fecisti nobis.
10 And Abimelech said to Abraham, What did thou see, that thou have done this thing?
Rursumque expostulans, ait: Quid vidisti, ut hoc faceres?
11 And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.
Respondit Abraham: Cogitavi mecum, dicens: Forsitan non est timor Dei in loco isto: et interficient me propter uxorem meam:
12 And moreover she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother, and she became my wife.
alias autem et vere soror mea est, filia patris mei, et non filia matris meæ, et duxi eam in uxorem.
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 shall show to me. At every place where we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.
Postquam autem eduxit me Deus de domo patris mei, dixi ad eam: Hanc misericordiam facies mecum: In omni loco, ad quem ingrediemur, dices quod frater tuus sim.
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.
Tulit igitur Abimelech oves et boves, et servos et ancillas, et dedit Abraham: reddiditque illi Saram uxorem suam,
15 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee. Dwell where it pleases thee.
et ait: Terra coram vobis est, ubicumque tibi placuerit habita.
16 And to Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver. Behold, it is for thee a covering of the eyes to all who are with thee. And in regard to all thou are righted.
Saræ autem dixit: Ecce mille argenteos dedi fratri tuo, hoc erit tibi in velamen oculorum ad omnes qui tecum sunt, et quocumque perrexeris: mementoque te deprehensam.
17 And Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maid-servants. And they bore sons.
Orante autem Abraham, sanavit Deus Abimelech et uxorem, ancillasque eius, et pepererunt:
18 For Jehovah had closed up fast all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.
concluserat enim Dominus omnem vulvam domus Abimelech propter Saram uxorem Abrahæ.
