Genesis 20
1 And Abraham journeys from there toward the land of the south, and dwells between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourns in Gerar;
Abraham je od tam odpotoval proti južni deželi in prebival med Kadešem in Šurom in začasno prebival v Gerárju.
2 and Abraham says concerning his wife Sarah, “She is my sister”; and Abimelech king of Gerar sends and takes Sarah.
O Sari, svoji ženi, je Abraham rekel: »Ona je moja sestra.« In kralj Abiméleh iz Gerárja je poslal in vzel Saro.
3 And God comes to Abimelech in a dream of the night and says to him, “Behold, you [are] a dead man, because of the woman whom you have taken—and she married to a husband.”
Toda Bog je ponoči v sanjah prišel k Abimélehu in mu rekel: »Glej, ti si samo mrtev človek zaradi ženske, ki si jo vzel, kajti ona je moževa žena.«
4 And Abimelech has not drawn near to her, and he says, “Lord, do you also slay a righteous nation?
Toda Abiméleh se ji ni približal in rekel je: » Gospod, hočeš ubiti tudi pravičen narod?
5 Has he not himself said to me, She [is] my sister! And she, even she herself, said, He [is] my brother; in the integrity of my heart, and in the innocence of my hands, I have done this.”
Ali mi ni rekel: ›Ona je moja sestra?‹ In ona, celo ona sama je rekla: ›On je moj brat.‹ To sem storil v neokrnjenosti svojega srca in nedolžnosti svojih rok.«
6 And God says to him in the dream, “Indeed, I have known that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I withhold you, even I, from sinning against Me, therefore I have not permitted you to come against her;
Bog mu je v sanjah rekel: »Da, vem, da si to storil v neokrnjenosti svojega srca, kajti tudi jaz sem te zadržal pred pregrešitvijo zoper mene, zato ti nisem dovolil, da se je dotakneš.
7 and now send back the man’s wife, for he [is] inspired, and he prays for you, and you live; and if you do not send back, know that dying you die, you and all that you have.”
Zdaj torej vrni človeku njegovo ženo, kajti on je prerok in molil bo zate in boš živel. Če pa je ne povrneš, vedi, da boš zagotovo umrl, ti in vse, kar je tvojega.«
8 And Abimelech rises early in the morning, and calls for all his servants, and speaks all these words in their ears; and the men fear exceedingly;
Zato je Abiméleh zgodaj zjutraj vstal in poklical vse svoje služabnike ter jim v njihova ušesa povedal vse te stvari in ljudje so bili boleče prestrašeni.
9 and Abimelech calls for Abraham and says to him, “What have you done to us? And what have I sinned against you, that you have brought on me, and on my kingdom, a great sin? Works which are not done you have done with me.”
Potem je Abiméleh poklical Abrahama in mu rekel: »Kaj si nam storil? In kaj sem ti zagrešil, da si nadme in na moje kraljestvo privedel velik greh? Storil si mi dejanja, ki sploh ne bi smela biti storjena.«
10 Abimelech also says to Abraham, “What have you seen that you have done this thing?”
Abiméleh je rekel Abrahamu: »Kaj si si domišljal, da si storil to stvar?«
11 And Abraham says, “Because I said, Surely the fear of God is not in this place, and they have slain me for the sake of my wife;
Abraham je rekel: »Ker sem mislil: ›Zagotovo na tem kraju ni strahu Božjega in zaradi moje žene me bodo ubili.‹
12 and also, she is truly my sister, daughter of my father, only not daughter of my mother, and she becomes my wife;
Vendar je zares moja sestra; je hči mojega očeta, toda ne hči moje matere in postala je moja žena.
13 and it comes to pass, when God has caused me to wander from my father’s house, that I say to her, This [is] your kindness which you do with me: at every place to where we come, say of me, He [is] my brother.”
Pripetilo se je, ko me je Bog pripravil do tega, da se oddaljim od hiše svojega očeta, da sem ji rekel: ›To je tvoja prijaznost, ki mi jo boš izkazala: na vsakem kraju, kamor bova prišla, o meni reci: ›Moj brat je.‹«
14 And Abimelech takes sheep and oxen, and servants and handmaids, and gives to Abraham, and sends back his wife Sarah to him;
Abiméleh je vzel ovce, vole, sluge in postrežnice ter jih dal Abrahamu in mu vrnil njegovo ženo Saro.
15 and Abimelech says, “Behold, my land [is] before you, where it is good in your eyes, dwell”;
Abiméleh je rekel: »Glej, moja dežela je pred teboj. Prebivaj, kjer ti ugaja.«
16 and to Sarah he has said, “Behold, I have given one thousand pieces of silver to your brother; behold, it is to you a covering of eyes, to all who are with you”; and by all this she is reasoned with.
Sari pa je rekel: »Glej, tvojemu bratu sem dal tisoč koščkov srebra. Glej, on ti je pokrivalo tvojim očem, vsem, ki so s teboj in z vsemi drugimi.« Tako je bila opravičena.
17 And Abraham prays to God, and God heals Abimelech and his wife, and his handmaids, and they bear:
Tako je Abraham molil k Bogu in Bog je ozdravil Abiméleha, njegovo ženo in njegove dekle, in rodile so otroke.
18 for YHWH restraining had restrained every womb of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham’s wife.
Kajti Gospod je zaradi Abrahamove žene Sare, trdno zaprl vse maternice Abimélehove hiše.
