Genesis 20
1 Now Abraham journeyed from there to the region of the Negev and settled between Kadesh and Shur. While he was staying in Gerar,
Un Ābrahāms no turienes aizgāja uz to zemi pret dienasvidus pusi un dzīvoja starp Kādeš un Šur un piemita Ģerarā.
2 Abraham said of his wife Sarah, “She is my sister.” So Abimelech king of Gerar had Sarah brought to him.
Un Ābrahāms sacīja no Sāras, savas sievas: tā ir mana māsa; tad Abimelehs, Ģeraras ķēniņš, sūtīja un paņēma Sāru.
3 One night, however, God came to Abimelech in a dream and told him, “You are as good as dead because of the woman you have taken, for she is a married woman.”
Bet Dievs nāca pie Abimeleha sapnī nakts laikā un uz to sacīja: redzi, tev jāmirst tās sievas dēļ, ko tu esi ņēmis, jo tā ir laulāta sieva.
4 Now Abimelech had not gone near her, so he replied, “Lord, would You destroy a nation even though it is innocent?
Bet Abimelehs viņu vēl nebija aizskāris; tad tas sacīja: Kungs, vai Tu arī taisnus ļaudis nonāvēsi?
5 Didn’t Abraham tell me, ‘She is my sister’? And she herself said, ‘He is my brother.’ I have done this in the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands.”
Vai viņš man nav sacījis: tā ir mana māsa? Un viņa pati arīdzan sacījusi: tas ir mans brālis. Es to esmu darījis vientiesīgu sirdi un šķīstām rokām.
6 Then God said to Abimelech in the dream, “Yes, I know that you did this with a clear conscience, and so I have kept you from sinning against Me. That is why I did not let you touch her.
Tad Dievs sapnī uz to sacīja: Es arīdzan zinu, ka to esi darījis savā sirds vientiesībā, un Es tevi arī esmu atturējis, ka tu pret Mani negrēko; tādēļ Es tev neesmu ļāvis viņu aizskart.
7 Now return the man’s wife, for he is a prophet; he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not restore her, be aware that you will surely die—you and all who belong to you.”
Un nu, atdodi tam vīram to sievu, jo tas ir pravietis, un lai viņš priekš tevis lūdz, tad tu dzīvosi; bet ja tu to neatdosi, tad zini, ka tu mirdams mirsi, un viss, kas tev pieder.
8 Early the next morning Abimelech got up and summoned all his servants; and when he described to them all that had happened, the men were terrified.
Un no rīta agri Abimelehs cēlās un aicināja visus savus kalpus un runāja visus šos vārdus priekš viņu ausīm, un tie vīri bijājās ļoti.
9 Then Abimelech called Abraham and asked, “What have you done to us? How have I sinned against you, that you have brought such tremendous guilt upon me and my kingdom? You have done things to me that should not be done.”
Un Abimelehs aicināja Ābrahāmu un uz to sacīja: kam tu mums to esi darījis, un ko es pret tevi esmu grēkojis, ka tu par mani un par manu valsti vedis tik lielus grēkus? Tu man tā esi darījis, kā nepieklājās darīt.
10 Abimelech also asked Abraham, “What prompted you to do such a thing?”
Un Abimelehs sacīja uz Ābrahāmu: ko tu esi nodomājis to darīdams?
11 Abraham replied, “I thought to myself, ‘Surely there is no fear of God in this place. They will kill me on account of my wife.’
Tad Ābrahāms sacīja: es domāju, tiešām Dieva bijāšanas nav šinī vietā, un tie mani nokaus manas sievas dēļ.
12 Besides, she really is my sister, the daughter of my father—though not the daughter of my mother—and she became my wife.
Un tā arī tiešām ir mana māsa, mana tēva meita, bet tik ne manas mātes meita; un tā ir tapusi mana sieva.
13 So when God had me journey from my father’s house, I said to Sarah, ‘This is how you can show your loyalty to me: Wherever we go, say of me, “He is my brother.”’”
Un pēc tam, kad Dievs man licis iziet no mana tēva nama, tad es uz to sacīju: lai šī ir tā žēlastība, ko tu pie manis darīsi: visur, kurp nāksim saki no manis: tas ir mans brālis.
14 So Abimelech brought sheep and cattle, menservants and maidservants, and he gave them to Abraham and restored his wife Sarah to him.
Tad Abimelehs ņēma avis un vēršus un kalpus un kalpones un deva tos Ābrahāmam un atdeva tam arī Sāru, viņa sievu.
15 And Abimelech said, “Look, my land is before you. Settle wherever you please.”
Un Abimelehs sacīja: redzi, mana zeme ir tavā priekšā; dzīvo, kur tavām acīm patīk.
16 And he said to Sarah, “See, I am giving your brother a thousand pieces of silver. It is your vindication before all who are with you; you are completely cleared.”
Un uz Sāru viņš sacīja: redzi, es tavam brālim esmu devis tūkstoš sudraba gabalus, un, redzi, lai tas tev ir par acu apsegu priekš visiem, kas pie tevis un visur, un tu esi taisnota.
17 Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech and his wife and his maidservants, so that they could again bear children—
Un Ābrahāms pielūdza Dievu, tad Dievs dziedināja Abimeleku un viņa sievu un viņa kalpones, ka tās dzemdēja.
18 for on account of Abraham’s wife Sarah, the LORD had completely closed all the wombs in Abimelech’s household.
Jo Tas Kungs Abimeleha namā bija cieti aizslēdzis visas mātes, Sāras, Ābrahāma sievas, dēļ.
