Бытие 20
1 И пойде оттуду Авраам на землю полуденную и вселися между Кадисом и между Суром: и обита в Герарех.
And Abraham departed thence towards the south country, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned at Gerar.
2 Рече же Авраам о Сарре жене своей, яко сестра ми есть: убояся бо рещи, яко жена ми есть, да не когда убиют его мужие градстии ея ради. Посла же Авимелех царь Герарский и взя Сарру.
And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister. And Abimelech the king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.
3 И прииде Бог ко Авимелеху нощию во сне и рече ему: се, ты умираеши жены ради сея, юже поял еси: сия же есть сожителствующая мужу.
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 Авимелех же не прикоснуся ей и рече: Господи, язык неведущий и праведен погубиши ли?
But Abimelech had not come near her. And he said, Lord, wilt thou also kill a righteous nation?
5 Не сам ли ми рече: сестра ми есть? И сия ми рече: брат ми есть? Чистым сердцем и в правде рук сотворих сие.
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 Рече же ему Бог во сне: и Аз познах, яко чистым сердцем сотворил еси сие, и пощадех тя, да не согрешиши ко Мне: сего ради не попустих ти коснутися ея:
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 ныне же отдаждь жену мужу, яко пророк есть, и помолится о тебе, и жив будеши: аще же не отдаси, веждь, яко умреши ты и вся твоя.
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 воста рано Авимелех, и призва вся отроки своя, и глагола словеса сия вся во ушы их: убояшася же вси человецы зело.
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 И призва Авимелех Авраама и рече ему: что сие сотворил еси нам? Еда что согрешихом тебе, яко навел еси на мя и на царство мое грех велик? Дело, еже никтоже сотвори, сотворил еси мне.
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 рече Авимелех Аврааму: что умыслив, сотворил еси сие?
And Abimelech said to Abraham, What hast thou seen that thou hast done this?
11 Рече же Авраам: рекох бо: негли несть благочестия на месте сем: и убиют мя жены ради моея:
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 ибо истинно сестра ми есть по отцу, а не по матери: бысть же ми в жену:
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 и бысть егда изведе мя Бог от дому отца моего, и рех ей: правду сию сотвориши ми: во всяко место, идеже аще приидем, тамо рцы о мне, яко брат ми есть.
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 Взя же Авимелех тысящу дидрахм (сребра), и овцы, и телцы, и рабы, и рабыни, и даде Аврааму: и отдаде ему Сарру жену его.
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 Аврааму: се, земля моя пред тобою: идеже аще тебе угодно есть, вселися.
And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it is good in thine eyes.
16 Сарре же рече: се, дах тысящу дидрахм брату твоему: сия будут тебе в честь лица твоего, и всем, яже суть с тобою, и во всем истинствуй.
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 Помолися же Авраам Богу, и исцели Бог Авимелеха и жену его и рабыни его, и начаша раждати:
And Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife and his handmaids, and they bore [children].
18 яко заключая заключи Господь от внеуду всяка ложесна в дому Авимелеха, Сарры ради жены Авраамли.
For Jehovah had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
