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,
A Avram otide odande na jug, i stani se izmeðu Kadisa i Sura; i življaše kao došljak u Geraru.
2 Abraham said of his wife Sarah, “She is my sister.” So Abimelech king of Gerar had Sarah brought to him.
I govoraše za ženu svoju Saru: sestra mi je. A car Gerarski Avimeleh posla, te uze Saru.
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.”
Ali doðe Bog Avimelehu noæu u snu, i reèe mu: gle, poginuæeš sa žene koju si uzeo, jer ima muža.
4 Now Abimelech had not gone near her, so he replied, “Lord, would You destroy a nation even though it is innocent?
A Avimeleh ne bješe se nje dotakao, i zato reèe: Gospode, eda li æeš i pravedan narod pogubiti?
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.”
Nije li mi sam kazao: sestra mi je? a i ona sama kaza: brat mi je. Uèinio sam u èistoti srca svojega i u pravdi ruku svojih.
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.
Tada mu reèe Bog u snu: znam da si uèinio u èistoti srca svojega, zato te saèuvah da mi ne sagriješiš, i ne dadoh da je se dotakneš.
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.”
A sada vrati èovjeku ženu njegovu, jer je prorok, i moliæe se za te, te æeš ostati živ. Ako li ne vratiš, znaj da æeš umrijeti ti i svi tvoji.
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.
I ujutru rano usta Avimeleh, i sazva sve sluge svoje, i kaza im sve ovo da èuju. I uplašiše se ljudi veoma.
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.”
Tada Avimeleh dozva Avrama i reèe mu: šta si nam uèinio? šta li sam ti zgriješio, te navuèe na me i na carstvo moje toliko zlo? Uèinio si mi što ne valja èiniti.
10 Abimelech also asked Abraham, “What prompted you to do such a thing?”
I još reèe Avimeleh Avramu: šta ti je bilo, te si to uèinio?
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.’
A Avram odgovori: veljah: jamaèno nema straha Božijega u ovom mjestu, pa æe me ubiti radi žene moje.
12 Besides, she really is my sister, the daughter of my father—though not the daughter of my mother—and she became my wife.
A upravo i jest mi sestra, kæi oca mojega; ali nije kæi moje matere, pa poðe za me.
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.”’”
A kad me Bog izvede iz doma oca mojega, ja joj rekoh: uèini dobro, i kaži za me gdje god doðemo: brat mi je.
14 So Abimelech brought sheep and cattle, menservants and maidservants, and he gave them to Abraham and restored his wife Sarah to him.
Tada Avimeleh uze ovaca i goveda i sluga i sluškinja, te dade Avramu, i vrati mu Saru ženu njegovu.
15 And Abimelech said, “Look, my land is before you. Settle wherever you please.”
I reèe Avimeleh Avramu: evo, zemlja ti je moja otvorena, živi slobodno gdje ti je volja.
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.”
A Sari reèe: evo dao sam tvojemu bratu tisuæu srebrnika; gle, on ti je oèima pokrivalo pred svima koji budu s tobom; i to sve da ti je za nauku.
17 Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech and his wife and his maidservants, so that they could again bear children—
I Avram se pomoli Bogu, i iscijeli Bog Avimeleha i ženu njegovu i sluškinje njegove, te raðahu.
18 for on account of Abraham’s wife Sarah, the LORD had completely closed all the wombs in Abimelech’s household.
Jer Gospod bješe sasvijem zatvorio svaku matericu u domu Avimelehovu radi Sare žene Avramove.
