Genesis 20
1 And Abraham brake up from thence, towards the land of the South, and fixed his dwelling between Kadesh and Shur, so he sojourned in Gerar.
А Аврам отиде оданде на југ, и стани се између Кадиса и Сура; и живеше као дошљак у Герару.
2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife: My, sister, is she, —So Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
И говораше за жену своју Сару: Сестра ми је. А цар герарски Авимелех посла те узе Сару.
3 Then God went in unto Abimelech, in a dream of the night, —and said to him, Behold thee dead! because of the woman whom thou hast taken, seeing that, she, is a married woman.
Али дође Бог Авимелеху ноћу у сну, и рече му: Гле, погинућеш са жене коју си узео, јер има мужа.
4 Now, Abimelech, had not come near unto her, —so he said, O My Lord! a nation even a righteous one, wilt thou slay?
А Авимелех не беше се ње дотакао, и зато рече: Господе, еда ли ћеш и праведан народ погубити?
5 Had not, he himself, said to me, My sister, is she? and even she herself, said, My brother, is he? In the integrity of my heart and in the pureness of my hand, have I done this!
Није ли ми сам казао: Сестра ми је? А и она сама каза: Брат ми је. Учинио сам у чистоти срца свог и у правди руку својих.
6 And God said unto him in a dream, I, also, knew, that in the integrity of thy heart, thou didst this, so then, even I myself, withheld thee from sinning against me, for this reason, have I not suffered thee to touch her.
Тада му рече Бог у сну: Знам да си учинио у чистоти срца свог, зато те сачувах да ми не сагрешиш, и не дадох да је се дотакнеш.
7 Now, therefore restore the man’s wife, for a prophet, is he, that he may pray for thee and live thou, —But if thou art not going to restore her, know, that thou shalt die, thou—and all that are thine.
А сада врати човеку жену његову, јер је пророк, и молиће се за те, те ћеш остати жив. Ако ли не вратиш, знај да ћеш умрети ти и сви твоји.
8 So Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and spake all these words in their ears, and the men feared greatly.
И ујутру рано уста Авимелех, и сазва све слуге своје, и каза им све ово да чују. И уплашише се људи веома.
9 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him, What hast thou done to us? and wherein had I sinned against thee, that thou shouldst have brought in over me and over my kingdom, a sin so great? Deeds, which should not be done, hast thou done with me.
Тада Авимелех дозва Аврама и рече му: Шта си нам учинио? Шта ли сам ти згрешио, те навуче на ме и на царство моје толико зло? Учинио си ми шта не ваља чинити.
10 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, —What hadst thou seen, that thou shouldst have done this thing?
И још рече Авимелех Авраму: Шта ти је било, те си то учинио?
11 And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely there is no fear of God, in this place, —therefore will they slay me for the sake of my wife.
А Аврам одговори: Говорих: јамачно нема страха Божјег у овом месту, па ће ме убити ради жене моје.
12 Moreover also, in truth, my sister daughter of my father, she is, only not daughter of my mother, —so she became my wife.
А управо и јесте ми сестра, кћи оца мог; али није кћи моје матере, па пође за ме.
13 And so it came to pass when the Gods caused me to wander from my father’s house, that I said to her, This, is thy lovingkindness, wherewith thou shalt deal with me, —Into whatsoever place we enter, say of me My brother, is he.
А кад ме Бог изведе из дома оца мог, ја јој рекох: Учини добро, и кажи за ме где год дођемо: Брат ми је.
14 Then took Abimelech sheep and oxen and men—servants and maid-servants, and gave to Abraham, —and restored to him Sarah his wife.
Тада Авимелех узе оваца и говеда и слуга и слушкиња, те даде Авраму, и врати му Сару жену његову.
15 And Abimelech, said, Lo! my land is before thee, —wherever it may seem good in thine eyes, dwell.
И рече Авимелех Авраму: Ево, земља ти је моја отворена, живи слободно где ти је воља.
16 And to Sarah, he said, Lo! I have given a thousand of silver unto thy brother: Lo! that is for thee as a covering of eyes, to all who are with thee, —And so in every way, hath right been done.
А Сари рече: Ево дао сам твом брату хиљаду сребрника; гле, он ти је очима покривало пред свима који буду с тобом; и то све да ти је за науку.
17 And Abraham prayed unto God, —and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maid-servants, so that they bare children,
И Аврам се помоли Богу, и исцели Бог Авимелеха и жену његову и слушкиње његове, те рађаху.
18 For Yahweh, had restrained from bearing, every female of the house of Abimelech, —because of Sarah, wife of Abraham.
Јер Господ беше сасвим затворио сваку материцу у дому Авимелеховом ради Саре жене Аврамове.
