Kejadian 20
1 Abraham pindah dari Mamre ke bagian selatan tanah Kanaan, dan menetap di antara Kades dan Syur. Beberapa waktu kemudian, ketika ia tinggal di Gerar,
And Abraham departed thence towards the south country, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned at Gerar.
2 ia mengatakan bahwa Sara istrinya adalah adiknya. Karena itu Raja Abimelekh dari Gerar menyuruh utusannya membawa Sara kepadanya.
And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister. And Abimelech the king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.
3 Pada suatu malam Allah menampakkan diri kepada raja itu di dalam mimpi, dan berkata, "Engkau akan mati, karena telah kauambil wanita itu; sebab ia sudah bersuami."
But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art [but] a dead man, because of the woman that thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife.
4 Tetapi Abimelekh belum sampai menjamah Sara, maka kata raja itu, "Tuhan, saya tidak bersalah! Apakah Tuhan akan membinasakan saya dan bangsaku?
But Abimelech had not come near her. And he said, Lord, wilt thou also kill a righteous nation?
5 Abraham sendiri mengatakan bahwa wanita itu adiknya, dan wanita itu berkata demikian juga. Saya telah melakukan hal itu dengan hati nurani yang bersih, jadi aku tidak bersalah."
Did he not say to me, She is my sister? and she, even she said, He is my brother. In the integrity of my heart and in the innocency of my hands have I done this.
6 Maka Allah menjawab dalam mimpi itu, "Memang, Aku tahu bahwa engkau melakukannya dengan hati nurani yang bersih. Karena itu Aku telah mencegah engkau berbuat dosa terhadap Aku, dan tidak Kubiarkan engkau menjamah wanita itu.
And God said to him in a dream, I also knew that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart, and I, too, have withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore have I not suffered thee to touch her.
7 Tetapi sekarang, kembalikanlah dia kepada suaminya. Suaminya seorang nabi, dan ia akan berdoa untukmu supaya engkau tidak mati. Tetapi jika engkau tidak mengembalikannya, ingat, engkau dan seluruh rakyatmu akan mati!"
And now, restore the man's wife; for he is a prophet, and will pray for thee, that thou mayest live. And if thou do not restore [her], know that thou shalt certainly die, thou and all that is thine.
8 Keesokan harinya, pagi-pagi, Abimelekh memanggil semua pegawainya dan memberi tahu kepada mereka segala kejadian itu. Mereka menjadi sangat ketakutan.
And Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and spoke all these words in their ears; and the men were greatly afraid.
9 Setelah itu Abimelekh memanggil Abraham dan bertanya, "Apa yang telah engkau perbuat terhadap kami? Apa salahku terhadapmu, sehingga engkau mendatangkan musibah ini atas diriku dan kerajaanku? Sungguh tidak patut engkau berbuat seperti itu kepadaku.
And Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, What hast thou done to us? And in what have I sinned against thee, that thou hast brought on me, and on my kingdom, a great sin? Thou hast done to me deeds that ought not to be done.
10 Mengapa engkau berbuat begitu?"
And Abimelech said to Abraham, What hast thou seen that thou hast done this?
11 Abraham menjawab, "Pikir saya, di sini tak ada orang yang takut kepada Allah, sehingga saya akan dibunuh oleh orang yang menginginkan istri saya.
And Abraham said, Because I said, Surely the fear of God is not in this place, and they will kill me for my wife's sake.
12 Lagipula dia itu memang adik saya. Kami satu ayah, tetapi berlainan ibu, dan kemudian kami kawin.
But she is also truly my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
13 Maka ketika Allah menyuruh saya meninggalkan rumah ayah saya dan mengembara ke negeri-negeri asing, saya berkata kepada istri saya, 'Nyatakanlah kesetiaanmu kepada saya dengan mengatakan kepada setiap orang bahwa saya ini abangmu.'"
And it came to pass when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said to her, Let this be thy kindness which thou shalt shew to me: at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.
14 Setelah itu Abimelekh mengembalikan Sara kepada Abraham, dan pada waktu itu ia memberikan juga hamba-hamba, domba dan sapi.
And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and bondmen and bondwomen, and gave [them] to Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
15 Kata raja itu kepada Abraham, "Inilah seluruh negeriku; menetaplah di mana engkau suka."
And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it is good in thine eyes.
16 Lalu katanya kepada Sara, "Abangmu sudah kuberi seribu uang perak sebagai bukti kepada semua orang bahwa engkau benar-benar tidak bersalah."
And to Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand [pieces] of silver; behold, let that be to thee a covering of the eyes, in respect of all that are with thee, and with all; and she was reproved.
17 TUHAN telah membuat mandul semua wanita di istana Abimelekh karena kejadian dengan Sara, istri Abraham itu. Lalu Abraham berdoa kepada Allah, dan Allah menyembuhkan Abimelekh, istrinya dan hamba-hambanya perempuan, sehingga wanita-wanita itu dapat melahirkan lagi.
And Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife and his handmaids, and they bore [children].
For Jehovah had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
