Genesis 20

1 And Abraam removed thence to the southern country, and lived between Cades and Sur, and sojourned in Gerara.

A Avram otide odande na jug, i stani se izmeðu Kadisa i Sura; i življaše kao došljak u Geraru.

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.

I govoraše za ženu svoju Saru: sestra mi je. A car Gerarski Avimeleh posla, te uze Saru.

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.

Ali doðe Bog Avimelehu noæu u snu, i reèe mu: gle, poginuæeš sa žene koju si uzeo, jer ima muža.

4 But Abimelech had not touched her, and he said, Lord, will you destroy an ignorantly [sinning] and just nation?

A Avimeleh ne bješe se nje dotakao, i zato reèe: Gospode, eda li æeš i pravedan narod pogubiti?

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.

Nije li mi sam kazao: sestra mi je? a i ona sama kaza: brat mi je. Uèinio sam u èistoti srca svojega i u pravdi ruku svojih.

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.

Tada mu reèe Bog u snu: znam da si uèinio u èistoti srca svojega, zato te saèuvah da mi ne sagriješiš, i ne dadoh da je se dotakneš.

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.

A sada vrati èovjeku ženu njegovu, jer je prorok, i moliæe se za te, te æeš ostati živ. Ako li ne vratiš, znaj da æeš umrijeti ti i svi tvoji.

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.

I ujutru rano usta Avimeleh, i sazva sve sluge svoje, i kaza im sve ovo da èuju. I uplašiše se ljudi veoma.

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.

Tada Avimeleh dozva Avrama i reèe mu: šta si nam uèinio? šta li sam ti zgriješio, te navuèe na me i na carstvo moje toliko zlo? Uèinio si mi što ne valja èiniti.

10 And Abimelech said to Abraam, What have you seen in [me] that you have done this?

I još reèe Avimeleh Avramu: šta ti je bilo, te si to uèinio?

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.

A Avram odgovori: veljah: jamaèno nema straha Božijega u ovom mjestu, pa æe me ubiti radi žene moje.

12 For truly she is my sister by my father, but not by my mother, and she became my wife.

A upravo i jest mi sestra, kæi oca mojega; ali nije kæi moje matere, pa poðe za me.

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.

A kad me Bog izvede iz doma oca mojega, ja joj rekoh: uèini dobro, i kaži za me gdje god doðemo: brat mi je.

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.

Tada Avimeleh uze ovaca i goveda i sluga i sluškinja, te dade Avramu, i vrati mu Saru ženu njegovu.

15 And Abimelech said to Abraam, Behold, my land is before you, dwell wherever it may please you.

I reèe Avimeleh Avramu: evo, zemlja ti je moja otvorena, živi slobodno gdje ti je volja.

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.

A Sari reèe: evo dao sam tvojemu bratu tisuæu srebrnika; gle, on ti je oèima pokrivalo pred svima koji budu s tobom; i to sve da ti je za nauku.

17 And Abraam prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his women servants, and they bore children.

I Avram se pomoli Bogu, i iscijeli Bog Avimeleha i ženu njegovu i sluškinje njegove, te raðahu.

18 Because the Lord had fast closed from without every womb in the house of Abimelech, because of Sarrha Abraam's wife.

Jer Gospod bješe sasvijem zatvorio svaku matericu u domu Avimelehovu radi Sare žene Avramove.
