1 Мојсијева 20
1 А Аврам отиде оданде на југ, и стани се између Кадиса и Сура; и живеше као дошљак у Герару.
And Abraham departed thence towards the south country, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned at Gerar.
2 И говораше за жену своју Сару: Сестра ми је. А цар герарски Авимелех посла те узе Сару.
And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister. And Abimelech the king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.
3 Али дође Бог Авимелеху ноћу у сну, и рече му: Гле, погинућеш са жене коју си узео, јер има мужа.
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 А Авимелех не беше се ње дотакао, и зато рече: Господе, еда ли ћеш и праведан народ погубити?
But Abimelech had not come near her. And he said, Lord, wilt thou also kill a righteous nation?
5 Није ли ми сам казао: Сестра ми је? А и она сама каза: Брат ми је. Учинио сам у чистоти срца свог и у правди руку својих.
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 Тада му рече Бог у сну: Знам да си учинио у чистоти срца свог, зато те сачувах да ми не сагрешиш, и не дадох да је се дотакнеш.
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 А сада врати човеку жену његову, јер је пророк, и молиће се за те, те ћеш остати жив. Ако ли не вратиш, знај да ћеш умрети ти и сви твоји.
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 И ујутру рано уста Авимелех, и сазва све слуге своје, и каза им све ово да чују. И уплашише се људи веома.
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 Тада Авимелех дозва Аврама и рече му: Шта си нам учинио? Шта ли сам ти згрешио, те навуче на ме и на царство моје толико зло? Учинио си ми шта не ваља чинити.
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 И још рече Авимелех Авраму: Шта ти је било, те си то учинио?
And Abimelech said to Abraham, What hast thou seen that thou hast done this?
11 А Аврам одговори: Говорих: јамачно нема страха Божјег у овом месту, па ће ме убити ради жене моје.
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 А управо и јесте ми сестра, кћи оца мог; али није кћи моје матере, па пође за ме.
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 А кад ме Бог изведе из дома оца мог, ја јој рекох: Учини добро, и кажи за ме где год дођемо: Брат ми је.
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 Тада Авимелех узе оваца и говеда и слуга и слушкиња, те даде Авраму, и врати му Сару жену његову.
And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and bondmen and bondwomen, and gave [them] to Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
15 И рече Авимелех Авраму: Ево, земља ти је моја отворена, живи слободно где ти је воља.
And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it is good in thine eyes.
16 А Сари рече: Ево дао сам твом брату хиљаду сребрника; гле, он ти је очима покривало пред свима који буду с тобом; и то све да ти је за науку.
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 И Аврам се помоли Богу, и исцели Бог Авимелеха и жену његову и слушкиње његове, те рађаху.
And Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife and his handmaids, and they bore [children].
18 Јер Господ беше сасвим затворио сваку материцу у дому Авимелеховом ради Саре жене Аврамове.
For Jehovah had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
