Genesis 20
1 And he set out from there Abraham [the] land of towards the Negev and he dwelt between Kadesh and between Shur and he sojourned in Gerar.
Derpaa brød Abraham op derfra til Sydlandet og slog sig ned mellem Kadesj og Sjur og boede som fremmed i Gerar.
2 And he said Abraham concerning Sarah wife his [is] sister my she and he sent Abimelech [the] king of Gerar and he took Sarah.
Da nu Abraham sagde om sin Hustru Sara, at hun var hans Søster, sendte Kong Abimelek af Gerar Bud og lod Sara hente til sig.
3 And he came God to Abimelech in a dream the night and he said to him here you [are] about to die on the woman whom you have taken and she [is] married of a husband.
Men Gud kom til Abimelek i en Drøm om Natten og sagde til ham: »Se, du skal dø for den Kvindes Skyld, som du har taget, thi hun er en anden Mands Hustru!«
4 And Abimelech not he had drawn near to her and he said O Lord ¿ a nation also righteous will you kill.
Abimelek var imidlertid ikke kommet hende nær; og han sagde: »Herre, vil du virkelig slaa retfærdige Folk ihjel?
5 ¿ Not he did he say to me [is] sister my she and she also she she said [is] brother my he in [the] integrity of heart my and in [the] innocence of hands my I have done this.
Har han ikke sagt mig, at hun er hans Søster? Og hun selv har ogsaa sagt, at han er hendes Broder; i mit Hjertes Troskyldighed og med rene Hænder har jeg gjort dette.«
6 And he said to him God in a dream also I I know that in [the] integrity of heart your you did this and I have restrained also I you from sinning to me there-fore not I have permitted you to touch her.
Da sagde Gud til ham i Drømmen: »Jeg ved, at du har gjort det i dit Hjertes Troskyldighed, og jeg har ogsaa hindret dig i at synde imod mig; derfor tilstedte jeg dig ikke at røre hende.
7 And therefore return [the] wife of the man for [is] a prophet he so he may pray for you and live and if not [are] you returning [her] know that certainly you will die you and all who [belong] to you.
Men send nu Mandens Hustru tilbage, thi han er en Profet, saa han kan gaa i Forbøn for dig, og du kan blive i Live; men sender du hende ikke tilbage, saa vid, at du og alle dine er dødsens!«
8 And he rose early Abimelech in the morning and he summoned all servants his and he spoke all the words these in ears their and they were afraid the men exceedingly.
Tidligt næste Morgen lod Abimelek alle sine Tjenere kalde og fortalte dem det hele, og Mændene blev saare forfærdede.
9 And he summoned Abimelech Abraham and he said to him what? have you done to us and what? have I sinned to you for you have brought on me and on kingdom my a sin great deeds which not they will be done you have done with me.
Men Abimelek lod Abraham kalde og sagde til ham: »Hvad har du dog gjort imod os? Og hvad har jeg forbrudt imod dig, at du bragte denne store Synd over mig og mit Rige? Du har gjort imod mig, hvad man ikke bør gøre!«
10 And he said Abimelech to Abraham what? did you see that you have done the thing this.
Og Abimelek sagde til Abraham: »Hvad bragte dig til at handle saaledes?«
11 And he said Abraham that I said certainly there not [is] [the] fear of God in the place this and they will kill me on [the] matter of wife my.
Abraham svarede: »Jo, jeg tænkte: Her er sikkert ingen Gudsfrygt paa dette Sted, saa de vil slaa mig ihjel for min Hustrus Skyld.
12 And also truly [is] sister my [the] daughter of father my she only not [the] daughter of mother my and she became of me a wife.
Desuden er hun virkelig min Søster, min Faders Datter, kun ikke min Moders; men hun blev min Hustru.
13 And it was just as they caused to wander me God from [the] household of father my and I said to her this [is] loyalty your which you will do with me to every place where we will go there towards say of me [is] brother my he.
Og da nu Gud lod mig flakke om fjernt fra min Faders Hus, sagde jeg til hende: Den Godhed maa du vise mig, at du overalt, hvor vi kommer hen, siger, at jeg er din Broder.«
14 And he took Abimelech sheep and cattle and [male] servants and female servants and he gave [them] to Abraham and he restored to him Sarah wife his.
Derpaa tog Abimelek Smaakvæg og Hornkvæg, Trælle og Trælkvinder og gav Abraham dem og sendte hans Hustru Sara tilbage til ham;
15 And he said Abimelech there! land my [is] before you in the [place] good in view your dwell.
og Abimelek sagde til ham: »Se, mit Land ligger aabent for dig; slaa dig ned, hvor du lyster!«
16 And to Sarah he said here! I give a thousand silver to brother your there! it for you [is] a covering of eyes to all who [are] with you and with everyone [you are] vindicated.
Men til Sara sagde han: »Jeg har givet din Broder 1000 Sekel Sølv, det skal være dig Godtgørelse for alt, hvad der er tilstødt dig. Hermed har du faaet fuld Oprejsning.«
17 And he prayed Abraham to God and he healed God Abimelech and wife his and female slaves his and they bore children.
Men Abraham gik i Forbøn hos Gud, og Gud helbredte Abimelek og hans Hustru og Medhustruer, saa at de atter fik Børn.
18 For certainly had shut up Yahweh behind every womb of [the] household of Abimelech on [the] matter of Sarah [the] wife of Abraham.
HERREN havde nemlig lukket for ethvert Moderliv i Abimeleks Hus for Abrahams Hustru Saras Skyld.
