Genesis 20
1 Abraham left Mamre and moved southwest to the Negev desert and lived in a place named Gerar, between Kadesh and Shur.
Και εκίνησεν εκείθεν ο Αβραάμ εις την γην την προς μεσημβρίαν, και κατώκησε μεταξύ Κάδης και Σούρ· και παρώκησεν εν Γεράροις.
2 While he was there, he told people that Sarah was his sister, not his wife. Then King Abimelech of Gerar sent some of his men to Sarah, and they brought her to him to be his wife.
Και είπεν ο Αβραάμ περί Σάρρας της γυναικός αυτού, Αδελφή μου είναι. Έστειλε δε Αβιμέλεχ ο βασιλεύς των Γεράρων, και έλαβε την Σάρραν.
3 But God appeared to Abimelech in a dream during the night and said to him, “Listen to me! You are going to die because the woman you took is another man’s wife.”
Και ήλθεν ο Θεός προς τον Αβιμέλεχ κατ' όναρ την νύκτα, και είπε προς αυτόν, Ιδού, συ αποθνήσκεις εξ αιτίας της γυναικός, την οποίαν έλαβες· διότι είναι νενυμφευμένη με άνδρα.
4 But Abimelech had not had sex [EUP] with her, so he said, “God, since the people of my nation and I am innocent; will you kill me?
Ο δε Αβιμέλεχ δεν είχε πλησιάσει εις αυτήν· και είπε, Κύριε, ήθελες φονεύσει έθνος έτι και δίκαιον;
5 He told me, ‘She is my sister,’ and she also said, ‘He is my brother.’ I did this with pure motives and I [SYN] have not done anything wrong yet.”
δεν μοι είπεν αυτός, Αδελφή μου είναι; και αυτή πάλιν, αυτή είπεν, Αδελφός μου είναι. Εν ευθύτητι της καρδίας μου και εν καθαρότητι των χειρών μου έπραξα τούτο.
6 God said to him in another dream, “Yes, I know that your motives were pure. That is why I truly prevented you from sinning against me. I did not allow you to have sex [EUP] with her.
Είπε δε προς αυτόν ο Θεός κατ' όναρ, Και εγώ εγνώρισα ότι εν ευθύτητι της καρδίας σου έπραξας τούτο· όθεν και εγώ σε εμπόδισα από του να αμαρτήσης εις εμέ· διά τούτο δεν σε αφήκα να εγγίσης αυτήν·
7 Now, return this man’s wife to her husband, because he is (a prophet/a man who receives messages from me). He will pray for you, and you will (remain alive/not die). But if you do not return her to him, you will certainly die, and all the members of your household will also certainly die.”
τώρα λοιπόν απόδος την γυναίκα προς τον άνθρωπον, διότι είναι προφήτης· και θέλει προσευχηθή υπέρ σου και θέλεις ζήσει· αλλ' εάν δεν αποδώσης αυτήν, έξευρε ότι εξάπαντος θέλεις αποθάνει, συ και πάντα όσα έχεις.
8 Early the next morning, Abimelech summoned all his officials, and told them everything that had happened. When they heard that [MTY], his men were very afraid [that God would punish them].
Σηκωθείς δε ο Αβιμέλεχ ενωρίς το πρωΐ, εκάλεσε πάντας τους δούλους αυτού, και ελάλησε πάντας τους λόγους τούτους εις επήκοον αυτών· και εφοβήθησαν οι άνθρωποι σφόδρα.
9 Abimelech then summoned Abraham, and said to him, “You should not have done that to us [RHQ]! Did I do something wrong to you, with the result that you are causing me and the people in [MTY] my kingdom to be guilty of committing a great sin [RHQ]? You have done things to me that (should not be done/you should not have done)!”
Και εκάλεσεν ο Αβιμέλεχ τον Αβραάμ και είπε προς αυτόν, Τι έπραξας εις ημάς; και τι αμάρτημα έπραξα εις σε, ώστε επέφερες επ' εμέ και επί το βασίλειόν μου, αμαρτίαν μεγάλην; έπραξας εις εμέ πράγμα, το οποίον δεν έπρεπε να πραχθή.
10 Abimelech asked Abraham, “What was your reason for doing this?”
Και είπεν ο Αβιμέλεχ προς τον Αβραάμ, Τι είδες, ώστε να πράξης το πράγμα τούτο;
11 Abraham replied, “I said that because I thought, ‘They certainly do not respect God in this place. If they don’t respect God, they will not respect relationships with others. [If I say she is my sister, they will try to pay me a bride price] to get her. But if I say she is my wife, they will kill me to get her.’
Και είπεν ο Αβραάμ, Επειδή εγώ είπον, Βέβαια δεν είναι φόβος Θεού εν τω τόπω τούτω και θέλουσι με φονεύσει διά την γυναίκα μου·
12 Besides, she really [can be considered] my sister, because she is the daughter of my father, although she is not the daughter of my mother. She is the daughter of another woman, and I married her.
και όμως αληθώς αδελφή μου είναι, θυγάτηρ του πατρός μου, αλλ' ουχί θυγάτηρ της μητρός μου· και έγεινε γυνή μου.
13 Later, when God told me to move away from my father’s household, I said to her, ‘This is the way you can show that you love me: Everywhere we go, say about me, “This is my brother.”’”
και ότε με έκαμεν ο Θεός να εξέλθω εκ του οίκου του πατρός μου, είπον προς αυτήν, Ταύτην την χάριν θέλεις κάμει εις εμέ· εις πάντα τόπον όπου αν υπάγωμεν, λέγε περί εμού, Ούτος είναι αδελφός μου.
14 So Abimelech brought some sheep and cattle and male and female slaves and gave them to Abraham. And he returned his wife Sarah to him.
Και έλαβεν ο Αβιμέλεχ πρόβατα και βόας και δούλους και δούλας, και έδωκεν εις τον Αβραάμ, και απέδωκεν εις αυτόν Σάρραν την γυναίκα αυτού.
15 And Abimelech said to him, “Look! All my land is here in front of you. Live in whatever place you like!”
και είπεν ο Αβιμέλεχ, Ιδού, η γη μου έμπροσθέν σου. κατοίκησον όπου σοι αρέσκει.
16 And he said to Sarah, “Look here, I am giving 1,000 pieces of silver to your brother. This is to insure that no one will [bring up this matter again and] say that I have done something wrong. [EUP, IDM]”
Και προς την Σάρραν είπεν, Ιδού, έδωκα χίλια αργύρια εις τον αδελφόν σου· ιδού, αυτός είναι εις σε σκέπη των οφθαλμών προς πάντας τους μετά σου και προς πάντας τους άλλους. Ούτως αύτη επεπλήχθη.
17 Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech’s wife and his slave girls so that they could become pregnant.
Προσηυχήθη δε ο Αβραάμ προς τον Θεόν· και εθεράπευσεν ο Θεός τον Αβιμέλεχ και την γυναίκα αυτού και τας θεραπαίνας αυτού, και ετεκνοποίησαν.
18 This was because Yahweh had caused it to be impossible for any of the women in Abimelech’s household to bear children, because Abimelech had taken Abraham’s wife Sarah.
διότι ο Κύριος είχε κλείσει διόλου πάσαν μήτραν εν τη οικία του Αβιμέλεχ, εξ αιτίας Σάρρας της γυναικός του Αβραάμ.
