Genesis 20
1 And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.
亚伯拉罕从那里向南地迁去，寄居在加低斯和书珥中间的基拉耳。
2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
亚伯拉罕称他的妻撒拉为妹子，基拉耳王亚比米勒差人把撒拉取了去。
3 But Elohim came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife.
但夜间， 神来，在梦中对亚比米勒说：“你是个死人哪！因为你取了那女人来；她原是别人的妻子。”
4 But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, YHWH, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?
亚比米勒却还没有亲近撒拉；他说：“主啊，连有义的国，你也要毁灭吗？
5 Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this.
那人岂不是自己对我说‘她是我的妹子’吗？就是女人也自己说：‘他是我的哥哥。’我做这事是心正手洁的。”
6 And Elohim said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.
神在梦中对他说：“我知道你做这事是心中正直；我也拦阻了你，免得你得罪我，所以我不容你沾着她。
7 Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.
现在你把这人的妻子归还他；因为他是先知，他要为你祷告，使你存活。你若不归还他，你当知道，你和你所有的人都必要死。”
8 Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid.
亚比米勒清早起来，召了众臣仆来，将这些事都说给他们听，他们都甚惧怕。
9 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done.
亚比米勒召了亚伯拉罕来，对他说：“你怎么向我这样行呢？我在什么事上得罪了你，你竟使我和我国里的人陷在大罪里？你向我行不当行的事了！”
10 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?
亚比米勒又对亚伯拉罕说：“你见了什么才做这事呢？”
11 And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of Elohim is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake.
亚伯拉罕说：“我以为这地方的人总不惧怕 神，必为我妻子的缘故杀我。
12 And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
况且她也实在是我的妹子；她与我是同父异母，后来作了我的妻子。
13 And it came to pass, when Elohim caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said unto her, This is thy kindness which thou shalt shew unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.
当 神叫我离开父家、飘流在外的时候，我对她说：‘我们无论走到什么地方，你可以对人说：他是我的哥哥；这就是你待我的恩典了。’”
14 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
亚比米勒把牛、羊、仆婢赐给亚伯拉罕，又把他的妻子撒拉归还他。
15 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.
亚比米勒又说：“看哪，我的地都在你面前，你可以随意居住”；
16 And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved.
又对撒拉说：“我给你哥哥一千银子，作为你在合家人面前遮羞的，你就在众人面前没有不是了。”
17 So Abraham prayed unto Elohim: and Elohim healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.
亚伯拉罕祷告 神， 神就医好了亚比米勒和他的妻子，并他的众女仆，她们便能生育。
18 For YHWH had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
因耶和华为亚伯拉罕的妻子撒拉的缘故，已经使亚比米勒家中的妇人不能生育。
