Genesis 20
1 Abraham traveled towards the Negev, staying between Kadesh and Shur. After that he moved on to live in Gerar.
アブラハム彼處より徒りて南の地に至りカデシとシユルの間に居りゲラルに寄留り
2 During his time there, when Abraham told people about his wife Sarah, he said, “She's my sister.” So Abimelech, king of Gerar, sent for Sarah and took her to become one of his wives.
アブラハム其妻サラを我妹なりと言しかばゲラルの王アビメレク人を遣してサラを召入たり
3 But God appeared to Abimelech in a dream and told him, “Listen! You're going to die because the woman you've taken is already married—she has a husband.”
然るに神夜の夢にアビメレクに臨みて之に言たまひけるは汝は其召入たる婦人のために死るなるべし彼は夫ある者なればなり
4 Abimelech hadn't touched Sarah, and he asked, “Lord, do you kill good people?
アビメレク未だ彼に近づかざりしかば言ふ主よ汝は義き民をも殺したまふや
5 Didn't Abraham tell me himself, ‘She's my sister,’ and didn't Sarah also say, ‘He's my brother’? I did this in all innocence—my conscience is clear!”
彼は我に是はわが妹なりと言しにあらずや又婦も自彼はわが兄なりと言たり我全き心と潔き手をもて此をなせり
6 God told him in the dream, “Yes, I know you did this in all innocence, so I prevented you from sinning against me. That's why I didn't let you touch her.
神又夢に之に言たまひけるは然り我汝が全き心をもて之をなせるを知りたれば我も汝を阻めて罪を我に犯さしめざりき彼に觸るを容ざりしは是がためなり
7 Send the man's wife back to him. He's a prophet. He will pray for you, and you will live. But if you don't send her back to him, you should know for sure that you and all your family will die.”
然ば彼の妻を歸せ彼は預言者なれば汝のために祈り汝をして生命を保しめん汝若歸さずば汝と汝に屬する者皆必死るべきを知るべし
8 Abimelech got up early in the morning and called all his servants together. He explained everything that had happened, and they were all terrified.
是に於てアビメレク其朝夙に起て臣僕を悉く召し此事を皆語り聞せければ人々甚く懼れたり
9 Then Abimelech summoned Abraham and asked him “What have you done to us? How have I wronged you that you should treat me like this, bringing this terrible sin on me and my kingdom? You've done things to me that no one should ever do!”
斯てアビメレク、アブラハムを召て之に言けるは爾我等に何を爲すや我何の惡き事を爾になしたれば爾大なる罪を我とわが國に蒙らしめんとせしか爾爲すべからざる所爲を我に爲したり
10 Then Abimelech asked Abraham “What were you thinking when you did this?”
アビメレク又アブラハムに言けるは爾何を見て此事を爲たるや
11 “Well, I thought to myself, ‘Nobody respects God in this place. They'll kill me just to get my wife,’” Abraham replied.
アブラハム言けるは我此處はかならず神を畏れざるべければ吾妻のために人我を殺さんと思ひたるなり
12 “Anyway, she really is my sister, the daughter of my father but not my mother, and I married her.
又我は誠にわが妹なり彼はわが父の子にしてわが母の子にあらざるが遂に我妻となりたるなり
13 Since my God made me move far away from my family home, I told her, ‘If you really love me, then wherever you go with me you must tell people: He's my brother.’”
神我をして吾父の家を離れて周遊しめたまへる時に當りて我彼に爾我等が至る處にて我を爾の兄なりと言へ是は爾が我に施す恩なりと言たり
14 Then Abimelech gave Abraham gifts of sheep, cattle, and male and female slaves, and returned his wife Sarah to him.
アビメレク乃ち羊牛僕婢を將てアブラハムに與へ其妻サラ之に歸せり
15 Abimelech told him, “Look over my land. You can choose to live anywhere you like.”
而してアビメレク言けるは視よ我地は爾のまへにあり爾の好むところに住め
16 Abimelech also told Sarah, “Notice that I'm giving your brother a thousand pieces of silver. This is to compensate you for the wrong done to you in the eyes of everyone with you, and to make sure that your name is publicly cleared.”
又サラに言けるは視よ我爾の兄に銀千枚を與へたり是は爾および諸の人にありし事等につきて爾の目を蔽ふ者なり斯爾償贖を得たり
17 Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, his wife, and his female slaves, so that they could have children again.
是に於てアブラハム神に祈りければ神アビメレクと其妻および婢を醫したまひて彼等子を産むにいたる
18 For the Lord had made all the women unable to have children because Abraham's wife, Sarah, had been taken.
ヱホバさきにはアブラハムの妻サラの故をもてアビメレクの家の者の胎をことごとく閉たまへり
