Genesis 20
1 And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.
Abraham pindah dari Mamre ke bagian selatan tanah Kanaan, dan menetap di antara Kades dan Syur. Beberapa waktu kemudian, ketika ia tinggal di Gerar,
2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
ia mengatakan bahwa Sara istrinya adalah adiknya. Karena itu Raja Abimelekh dari Gerar menyuruh utusannya membawa Sara kepadanya.
3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, you are but a dead man, for the woman which you have taken; for she is a man's wife.
Pada suatu malam Allah menampakkan diri kepada raja itu di dalam mimpi, dan berkata, "Engkau akan mati, karena telah kauambil wanita itu; sebab ia sudah bersuami."
4 But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, LORD, will you slay also a righteous nation?
Tetapi Abimelekh belum sampai menjamah Sara, maka kata raja itu, "Tuhan, saya tidak bersalah! Apakah Tuhan akan membinasakan saya dan bangsaku?
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 innocence of my hands have I done this.
Abraham sendiri mengatakan bahwa wanita itu adiknya, dan wanita itu berkata demikian juga. Saya telah melakukan hal itu dengan hati nurani yang bersih, jadi aku tidak bersalah."
6 And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that you did this in the integrity of your heart; for I also withheld you from sinning against me: therefore suffered I you not to touch her.
Maka Allah menjawab dalam mimpi itu, "Memang, Aku tahu bahwa engkau melakukannya dengan hati nurani yang bersih. Karena itu Aku telah mencegah engkau berbuat dosa terhadap Aku, dan tidak Kubiarkan engkau menjamah wanita itu.
7 Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for you, and you shall live: and if you restore her not, know you that you shall surely die, you, and all that are yours.
Tetapi sekarang, kembalikanlah dia kepada suaminya. Suaminya seorang nabi, dan ia akan berdoa untukmu supaya engkau tidak mati. Tetapi jika engkau tidak mengembalikannya, ingat, engkau dan seluruh rakyatmu akan mati!"
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.
Keesokan harinya, pagi-pagi, Abimelekh memanggil semua pegawainya dan memberi tahu kepada mereka segala kejadian itu. Mereka menjadi sangat ketakutan.
9 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What have you done unto us? and what have I offended you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? you have done deeds unto me that ought not to be done.
Setelah itu Abimelekh memanggil Abraham dan bertanya, "Apa yang telah engkau perbuat terhadap kami? Apa salahku terhadapmu, sehingga engkau mendatangkan musibah ini atas diriku dan kerajaanku? Sungguh tidak patut engkau berbuat seperti itu kepadaku.
10 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What saw you, that you have done this thing?
Mengapa engkau berbuat begitu?"
11 And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake.
Abraham menjawab, "Pikir saya, di sini tak ada orang yang takut kepada Allah, sehingga saya akan dibunuh oleh orang yang menginginkan istri saya.
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.
Lagipula dia itu memang adik saya. Kami satu ayah, tetapi berlainan ibu, dan kemudian kami kawin.
13 And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said unto her, This is your kindness which you shall show unto me; at every place where we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.
Maka ketika Allah menyuruh saya meninggalkan rumah ayah saya dan mengembara ke negeri-negeri asing, saya berkata kepada istri saya, 'Nyatakanlah kesetiaanmu kepada saya dengan mengatakan kepada setiap orang bahwa saya ini abangmu.'"
14 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and male servants, and female servants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
Setelah itu Abimelekh mengembalikan Sara kepada Abraham, dan pada waktu itu ia memberikan juga hamba-hamba, domba dan sapi.
15 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before you: dwell where it pleases you.
Kata raja itu kepada Abraham, "Inilah seluruh negeriku; menetaplah di mana engkau suka."
16 And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to you a covering of the eyes, unto all that are with you, and with all other: thus she was reproved.
Lalu katanya kepada Sara, "Abangmu sudah kuberi seribu uang perak sebagai bukti kepada semua orang bahwa engkau benar-benar tidak bersalah."
17 So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.
TUHAN telah membuat mandul semua wanita di istana Abimelekh karena kejadian dengan Sara, istri Abraham itu. Lalu Abraham berdoa kepada Allah, dan Allah menyembuhkan Abimelekh, istrinya dan hamba-hambanya perempuan, sehingga wanita-wanita itu dapat melahirkan lagi.
18 For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
