Postanak 20

1 A Avram otide odande na jug, i stani se izmeðu Kadisa i Sura; i življaše kao došljak u Geraru.

Afterward Abraham departed thence toward the South countrey and dwelled betweene Cadesh and Shur, and soiourned in Gerar.

2 I govoraše za ženu svoju Saru: sestra mi je. A car Gerarski Avimeleh posla, te uze Saru.

And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister. Then Abimelech King of Gerar sent and tooke Sarah.

3 Ali doðe Bog Avimelehu noæu u snu, i reèe mu: gle, poginuæeš sa žene koju si uzeo, jer ima muža.

But God came to Abimelech in a dreame by night, and said to him, Beholde, thou art but dead, because of the woman, which thou hast taken: for she is a mans wife.

4 A Avimeleh ne bješe se nje dotakao, i zato reèe: Gospode, eda li æeš i pravedan narod pogubiti?

(Notwithstanding Abimelech had not yet come neere her) And he said, Lord, wilt thou slay euen the righteous nation?

5 Nije li mi sam kazao: sestra mi je? a i ona sama kaza: brat mi je. Uèinio sam u èistoti srca svojega i u pravdi ruku svojih.

Said not he vnto me, She is my sister? yea, and she her selfe said, He is my brother: with an vpright minde, and innocent handes haue I done this.

6 Tada mu reèe Bog u snu: znam da si uèinio u èistoti srca svojega, zato te saèuvah da mi ne sagriješiš, i ne dadoh da je se dotakneš.

And God saide vnto him by a dreame, I knowe that thou diddest this euen with an vpright minde, and I kept thee also that thou shouldest not sinne against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touche her.

7 A sada vrati èovjeku ženu njegovu, jer je prorok, i moliæe se za te, te æeš ostati živ. Ako li ne vratiš, znaj da æeš umrijeti ti i svi tvoji.

Now then deliuer the man his wife againe: for he is a Prophet, and he shall pray for thee that thou mayest liue: but if thou deliuer her not againe, be sure that thou shalt die the death, thou, and all that thou hast.

8 I ujutru rano usta Avimeleh, i sazva sve sluge svoje, i kaza im sve ovo da èuju. I uplašiše se ljudi veoma.

Then Abimelech rising vp early in ye morning, called all his seruants, and tolde all these things vnto them, and the men were sore afraid.

9 Tada Avimeleh dozva Avrama i reèe mu: šta si nam uèinio? šta li sam ti zgriješio, te navuèe na me i na carstvo moje toliko zlo? Uèinio si mi što ne valja èiniti.

Afterward Abimelech called Abraham, and said vnto him, What hast thou done vnto vs? and what haue I offeded thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdome this great sinne? thou hast done things vnto me that ought not to be done.

10 I još reèe Avimeleh Avramu: šta ti je bilo, te si to uèinio?

So Abimelech said vnto Abraham, What sawest thou that thou hast done this thing?

11 A Avram odgovori: veljah: jamaèno nema straha Božijega u ovom mjestu, pa æe me ubiti radi žene moje.

Then Abraham answered, Because I thought thus, Surely the feare of God is not in this place, and they will slay me for my wiues sake.

12 A upravo i jest mi sestra, kæi oca mojega; ali nije kæi moje matere, pa poðe za me.

Yet in very deede she is my sister: for she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother, and she is my wife.

13 A kad me Bog izvede iz doma oca mojega, ja joj rekoh: uèini dobro, i kaži za me gdje god doðemo: brat mi je.

Nowe when God caused me to wander out of my fathers house, I said then to her, This is thy kindnes that thou shalt shewe vnto me in all places where we come, Say thou of me, He is my brother.

14 Tada Avimeleh uze ovaca i goveda i sluga i sluškinja, te dade Avramu, i vrati mu Saru ženu njegovu.

Then tooke Abimelech sheepe and beeues, and men seruants, and women seruants, and gaue them vnto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.

15 I reèe Avimeleh Avramu: evo, zemlja ti je moja otvorena, živi slobodno gdje ti je volja.

And Abimelech saide, Beholde, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.

16 A Sari reèe: evo dao sam tvojemu bratu tisuæu srebrnika; gle, on ti je oèima pokrivalo pred svima koji budu s tobom; i to sve da ti je za nauku.

Likewise to Sarah he said, Beholde, I haue giuen thy brother a thousand pieces of siluer: behold, he is the vaile of thine eyes to all that are with thee, and to all others: and she was thus reproued.

17 I Avram se pomoli Bogu, i iscijeli Bog Avimeleha i ženu njegovu i sluškinje njegove, te raðahu.

Then Abraham prayed vnto God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his women seruants: and they bare children.

18 Jer Gospod bješe sasvijem zatvorio svaku matericu u domu Avimelehovu radi Sare žene Avramove.

For the Lord had shut vp euery wombe of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abrahams wife.
