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 Sarra uxore sua soror mea est misit ergo Abimelech rex Gerarae 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 noctis et ait ei 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 simplicitate 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 igitur redde uxorem viro suo quia propheta est et orabit pro te et vives si autem nolueris reddere scito quod morte morieris tu et omnia quae 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 haec 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 quae non debuisti facere fecisti nobis
10 And Abimelech said to Abraham, What did thou see, that thou have done this thing?
rursusque 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 meae et duxi eam 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 Sarram 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.
Sarrae 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 Deus omnem vulvam domus Abimelech propter Sarram uxorem Abraham
