Бытие 20
1 И пойде оттуду Авраам на землю полуденную и вселися между Кадисом и между Суром: и обита в Герарех.
And Abraam removed thence to the southern country, and lived between Cades and Sur, and sojourned in Gerara.
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 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 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.
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 Авимелех же не прикоснуся ей и рече: Господи, язык неведущий и праведен погубиши ли?
But Abimelech had not touched her, and he said, Lord, will you destroy an ignorantly [sinning] and just 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.
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 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 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 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.
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 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 he spoke all these words in their ears, and all the men feared exceedingly.
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 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 И рече Авимелех Аврааму: что умыслив, сотворил еси сие?
And Abimelech said to Abraam, What have you seen in [me] that you have done this?
11 Рече же Авраам: рекох бо: негли несть благочестия на месте сем: и убиют мя жены ради моея:
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 ибо истинно сестра ми есть по отцу, а не по матери: бысть же ми в жену:
For truly she is my sister by my father, but not by 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 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 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 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 И рече Авимелех Аврааму: се, земля моя пред тобою: идеже аще тебе угодно есть, вселися.
And Abimelech said to Abraam, Behold, my land is before you, dwell wherever it may please you.
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 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 Помолися же Авраам Богу, и исцели Бог Авимелеха и жену его и рабыни его, и начаша раждати:
And Abraam prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his women servants, and they bore children.
18 яко заключая заключи Господь от внеуду всяка ложесна в дому Авимелеха, Сарры ради жены Авраамли.
Because the Lord had fast closed from without every womb in the house of Abimelech, because of Sarrha Abraam's wife.
