Gênesis 20
1 E partiu-se Abrahão d'ali para a terra do sul, e habitou entre Kades e Sur; e peregrinou em Gerar.
Abraham left Mamre and moved southwest to the Negev desert and lived in a place named Gerar, between Kadesh and Shur.
2 E havendo Abrahão dito de Sarah sua mulher; É minha irmã, enviou Abimelech, rei de Gerar, e tomou a Sarah.
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.
3 Deus porém veiu a Abimelech em sonhos de noite, e disse-lhe: Eis que morto és por causa da mulher que tomaste; porque ella está casada com marido.
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.”
4 Mas Abimelech ainda não se tinha chegado a ella; por isso disse: Senhor, matarás tambem uma nação justa?
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?
5 Não me disse elle mesmo: É minha irmã? e ella tambem disse: É meu irmão. Em sinceridade do coração e em pureza das minhas mãos tenho feito isto.
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.”
6 E disse-lhe Deus em sonhos: Bem sei eu que na sinceridade do teu coração fizeste isto; e tambem eu te tenho impedido de peccar contra mim; por isso te não permitti tocal-a;
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.
7 Agora pois restitue a mulher ao seu marido, porque propheta é, e rogará por ti, para que vivas; porém senão lh'a restituires, sabe que certamente morrerás, tu e tudo o que é teu.
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.”
8 E levantou-se Abimelech pela manhã de madrugada, chamou a todos os seus servos, e fallou todas estas palavras em seus ouvidos; e temeram muito aquelles varões.
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].
9 Então chamou Abimelech a Abrahão e disse-lhe: Que nos fizeste? e em que pequei contra ti, para trazeres sobre o meu reino tamanho peccado? Tu me fizeste aquillo que não deverias ter feito.
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)!”
10 Disse mais Abimelech a Abrahão: Que tens visto, para fazer tal coisa?
Abimelech asked Abraham, “What was your reason for doing this?”
11 E disse Abrahão: Porque eu dizia commigo: Certamente não ha temor de Deus n'este logar, e elles me matarão por amor da minha mulher.
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.’
12 E, na verdade, é ella tambem minha irmã, filha de meu pae, mas não filha da minha mãe; e veiu a ser minha mulher:
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.
13 E aconteceu que, fazendo-me Deus sair errante da casa de meu pae, eu lhe disse: Seja esta a graça que me farás em todo o logar aonde viermos: diz de mim: É meu irmão.
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.”’”
14 Então tomou Abimelech ovelhas e vaccas, e servos e servas, e os deu a Abrahão; e restituiu-lhe Sarah, sua mulher.
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.
15 E disse Abimelech: Eis que a minha terra está diante da tua face: habita onde bom fôr aos teus olhos.
And Abimelech said to him, “Look! All my land is here in front of you. Live in whatever place you like!”
16 E a Sarah disse: Vês que tenho dado ao teu irmão mil moedas de prata: eis que elle te seja por véu dos olhos para com todos os que comtigo estão, e até para com todos os outros; e estás advertida.
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]”
17 E orou Abrahão a Deus, e sarou Deus a Abimelech, e á sua mulher, e ás suas servas, de maneira que pariram;
Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech’s wife and his slave girls so that they could become pregnant.
18 Porque o Senhor havia fechado totalmente todas as madres da casa de Abimelech, por causa de Sarah, mulher de Abrahão.
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.
