Genesis 20
1 Abraham traveled from there toward the land of the Negev, and lived between Kadesh and Shur. He lived as a foreigner 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 Abraham said about Sarah his wife, "She is my sister." 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 of the night, and said to him, "Look, you are a dead man, because of the woman whom you have 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 Now Abimelech had not come near her. He said, "Lord, will you kill even 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 Did not he tell me, 'She is my sister?' She, even she herself, said, 'He is my brother.' In the integrity of my heart and the innocence 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 God said to him in the dream, "Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also withheld you from sinning against me. Therefore I did not allow you 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's wife. For he is a prophet, and he will pray for you, and you will live. If you do not restore her, know for sure that you will die, you, and all who are yours."
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 Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ear. The men were very scared.
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 to him, "What have you done to us? How have I sinned against you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You have done deeds to 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 Abimelech said to Abraham, "What were you thinking, to do this thing?"
亚比米勒又对亚伯拉罕说：“你见了什么才做这事呢？”
11 Abraham said, "Because I thought, 'Surely the fear of God is not in this place, so they will kill me because of my wife.'
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 Besides, she is indeed my sister, 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 It happened, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said to her, 'This is your kindness which you shall show to me. Everywhere that we go, 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 Abimelech took sheep and cattle, male servants and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored Sarah, his wife, to him.
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 Abimelech said, "Look, my land is before you. Dwell where it pleases you."
亚比米勒又说：“看哪，我的地都在你面前，你可以随意居住”；
16 To Sarah he said, "Look, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver. Look, it is to cover the offense against you before all who are with you. In front of all you are vindicated."
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 Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his female servants, and they bore 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 God had made every woman infertile in the household 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。
