< 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.
profectus inde Abraham in terram australem habitavit inter Cades et Sur et peregrinatus est in Geraris
2 Abraham said about Sarah his wife, "She is my sister." Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
dixitque de Sarra uxore sua soror mea est misit ergo Abimelech rex Gerarae et tulit eam
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."
venit autem Deus ad Abimelech per somnium noctis et ait ei en morieris propter mulierem quam tulisti habet enim virum
4 Now Abimelech had not come near her. He said, "Lord, will you kill even a righteous nation?
Abimelech vero non tetigerat eam et ait Domine num gentem ignorantem et iustam interficies
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."
nonne ipse dixit mihi soror mea est et ipsa ait frater meus est in simplicitate cordis mei et munditia manuum mearum feci hoc
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.
dixitque ad eum Deus et ego scio quod simplici corde feceris et ideo custodivi te ne peccares in me et non dimisi ut tangeres eam
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."
nunc igitur redde uxorem viro suo quia propheta est et orabit pro te et vives si autem nolueris reddere scito quod morte morieris tu et omnia quae tua sunt
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.
statimque de nocte consurgens Abimelech vocavit omnes servos suos et locutus est universa verba haec in auribus eorum timueruntque omnes viri valde
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."
vocavit autem Abimelech etiam Abraham et dixit ei quid fecisti nobis quid peccavimus in te quia induxisti super me et super regnum meum peccatum grande quae non debuisti facere fecisti nobis
10 Abimelech said to Abraham, "What were you thinking, to do this thing?"
rursusque expostulans ait quid vidisti ut hoc faceres
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.'
respondit Abraham cogitavi mecum dicens forsitan non est timor Dei in loco isto et interficient me propter uxorem meam
12 Besides, she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
alias autem et vere soror mea est filia patris mei et non filia matris meae et duxi eam uxorem
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."'"
postquam autem eduxit me Deus de domo patris mei dixi ad eam hanc misericordiam facies mecum in omni loco ad quem ingrediemur dices quod frater tuus sim
14 Abimelech took sheep and cattle, male servants and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored Sarah, his wife, to him.
tulit igitur Abimelech oves et boves et servos et ancillas et dedit Abraham reddiditque illi Sarram uxorem suam
15 Abimelech said, "Look, my land is before you. Dwell where it pleases you."
et ait terra coram vobis est ubicumque tibi placuerit habita
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."
Sarrae autem dixit ecce mille argenteos dedi fratri tuo hoc erit tibi in velamen oculorum ad omnes qui tecum sunt et quocumque perrexeris mementoque te deprehensam
17 Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his female servants, and they bore children.
orante autem Abraham sanavit Deus Abimelech et uxorem ancillasque eius et pepererunt
18 For God had made every woman infertile in the household of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.
concluserat enim Deus omnem vulvam domus Abimelech propter Sarram uxorem Abraham
