創世記 20
1 アブラハム彼處より徒りて南の地に至りカデシとシユルの間に居りゲラルに寄留り
And Abraam removed thence to the southern country, and lived between Cades and Sur, and sojourned in Gerara.
2 アブラハム其妻サラを我妹なりと言しかばゲラルの王アビメレク人を遣してサラを召入たり
And Abraam said concerning Sarrha his wife, She is my sister, for he feared to say, She is my wife, lest at any time the men of the city should kill him for her sake. So Abimelech king of Gerara sent and took Sarrha.
3 然るに神夜の夢にアビメレクに臨みて之に言たまひけるは汝は其召入たる婦人のために死るなるべし彼は夫ある者なればなり
And God came to Abimelech by night in sleep, and said, Behold, you die for the woman, whom you have taken, whereas she has lived with a husband.
4 アビメレク未だ彼に近づかざりしかば言ふ主よ汝は義き民をも殺したまふや
But Abimelech had not touched her, and he said, Lord, will you destroy an ignorantly [sinning] and just nation?
5 彼は我に是はわが妹なりと言しにあらずや又婦も自彼はわが兄なりと言たり我全き心と潔き手をもて此をなせり
Said he not to me, She is my sister, and said she not to me, He is my brother? with a pure heart and in the righteousness of my hands have I done this.
6 神又夢に之に言たまひけるは然り我汝が全き心をもて之をなせるを知りたれば我も汝を阻めて罪を我に犯さしめざりき彼に觸るを容ざりしは是がためなり
And God said to him in sleep, Yes, I knew that you did this with a pure heart, and I spared you, so that you should not sin against me, therefore I suffered you not to touch her.
7 然ば彼の妻を歸せ彼は預言者なれば汝のために祈り汝をして生命を保しめん汝若歸ずば汝と汝に屬する者皆必死るべきを知るべし
But now return the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and shall pray for you, and you shall live; but if you restore her not, know that you shall die and all your.
8 是に於てアビメレク其朝夙に起て臣僕を悉く召し此事を皆語り聞せければ人々甚く懼れたり
And Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and he spoke all these words in their ears, and all the men feared exceedingly.
9 斯てアビメレク、アブラハムを召て之に言けるは爾我等に何を爲すや我何の惡き事を爾になしたれば爾大なる罪を我とわが國に蒙らしめんとせしか爾爲べからざる所爲を我に爲したり
And Abimelech called Abraam and said to him, What is this that you have done to us? Have we sinned against you, that you have brought upon me and upon my kingdom a great sin? You have done to me a deed, which no one ought to do.
10 アビメレク又アブラハムに言けるは爾何を見て此事を爲たるや
And Abimelech said to Abraam, What have you seen in [me] that you have done this?
11 アブラハム言けるは我此處はかならず神を畏れざるべければ吾妻のために人我を殺さんと思ひたるなり
And Abraam said, Why I said, Surely there is not the worship of God in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.
12 又我は誠にわが妹なり彼はわが父の子にしてわが母の子にあらざるが遂に我妻となりたるなり
For truly she is my sister by my father, but not by my mother, and she became my wife.
13 神我をして吾父の家を離れて周遊しめたまへる時に當りて我彼に爾我等が至る處にて我を爾の兄なりと言へ是は爾が我に施す恩なりと言たり
And it came to pass when God brought me forth out of the house of my father, that I said to her, This righteousness you shall perform to me, in every place into which we may enter, say of me, He is my brother.
14 アビメレク乃ち羊牛僕婢を將てアブラハムに與へ其妻サラ之に歸せり
And Abimelech took a thousand pieces of silver, and sheep, and calves, and servants, and maidservants, and gave them to Abraam, and he returned him Sarrha his wife.
15 而してアビメレク言けるは視よ我地は爾のまへにあり爾の好むところに住め
And Abimelech said to Abraam, Behold, my land is before you, dwell wherever it may please you.
16 又サラに言けるは視よ我爾の兄に銀千枚を與へたり是は爾および諸の人にありし事等につきて爾の目を蔽ふ者なり斯爾償贖を得たり
And to Sarrha he said, Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver, those shall be to you for the price of your countenance, and to all the women with you, and speak the truth in all things.
17 是に於てアブラハム神に祈りければ神アビメレクと其妻および婢を醫したまひて彼等子を產むにいたる
And Abraam prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his women servants, and they bore children.
18 ヱホバさきにはアブラハムの妻サラの故をもてアビメレクの家の者の胎をことごとく閉たまへり
Because the Lord had fast closed from without every womb in the house of Abimelech, because of Sarrha Abraam's wife.
