Genesis 20
1 And Abraam removed thence to the southern country, and lived between Cades and Sur, and sojourned in Gerara.
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 Abraam said concerning Sarrha his wife, She is my sister, for he feared to say, She is my wife, lest at any time the men of the city should kill him for her sake. So Abimelech king of Gerara sent and took Sarrha.
ia mengatakan bahwa Sara istrinya adalah adiknya. Karena itu Raja Abimelekh dari Gerar menyuruh utusannya membawa Sara kepadanya.
3 And God came to Abimelech by night in sleep, and said, Behold, you die for the woman, whom you have taken, whereas she has lived with a husband.
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 touched her, and he said, Lord, will you destroy an ignorantly [sinning] and just 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 to me, She is my sister, and said she not to me, He is my brother? with a pure heart and in the righteousness 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 to him in sleep, Yes, I knew that you did this with a pure heart, and I spared you, so that you should not sin against me, therefore I suffered 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 But now return the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and shall pray for you, and you shall live; but if you restore her not, know that you shall die and all your.
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 And Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and he spoke all these words in their ears, and all the men feared exceedingly.
Keesokan harinya, pagi-pagi, Abimelekh memanggil semua pegawainya dan memberi tahu kepada mereka segala kejadian itu. Mereka menjadi sangat ketakutan.
9 And Abimelech called Abraam and said to him, What is this that you have done to us? Have we sinned against you, that you have brought upon me and upon my kingdom a great sin? You have done to me a deed, which no one ought to do.
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 to Abraam, What have you seen in [me] that you have done this?
Mengapa engkau berbuat begitu?"
11 And Abraam said, Why I said, Surely there is not the worship of God in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.
Abraham menjawab, "Pikir saya, di sini tak ada orang yang takut kepada Allah, sehingga saya akan dibunuh oleh orang yang menginginkan istri saya.
12 For truly she is my sister by my father, but not by 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 brought me forth out of the house of my father, that I said to her, This righteousness you shall perform to me, in every place into which we may enter, 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 a thousand pieces of silver, and sheep, and calves, and servants, and maidservants, and gave them to Abraam, and he returned him Sarrha 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 to Abraam, Behold, my land is before you, dwell wherever it may please you.
Kata raja itu kepada Abraham, "Inilah seluruh negeriku; menetaplah di mana engkau suka."
16 And to Sarrha he said, Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver, those shall be to you for the price of your countenance, and to all the women with you, and speak the truth in all things.
Lalu katanya kepada Sara, "Abangmu sudah kuberi seribu uang perak sebagai bukti kepada semua orang bahwa engkau benar-benar tidak bersalah."
17 And Abraam prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his women servants, and they bore 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 Because the Lord had fast closed from without every womb in the house of Abimelech, because of Sarrha Abraam's wife.
