< 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 God 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, Lord, 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 God 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 God [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 God 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 God: and God 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 the LORD 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。
