Бытие 20
1 И пойде оттуду Авраам на землю полуденную и вселися между Кадисом и между Суром: и обита в Герарех.
Abraham traveled from there toward the land of the Negev, and lived between Kadesh and Shur. He lived as a foreigner in 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.
Abraham said about Sarah his wife, "She is my sister." Abimelech 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 of the night, and said to him, "Look, you are a dead man, because of the woman whom you have taken. For she is a man's wife."
4 Авимелех же не прикоснуся ей и рече: Господи, язык неведущий и праведен погубиши ли?
Now Abimelech had not come near her. He said, "Lord, will you kill even 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 not he tell me, 'She is my sister?' She, even she herself, said, 'He is my brother.' In the integrity of my heart and the innocence 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:
God said to him in the dream, "Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also withheld you from sinning against me. Therefore I did not allow you 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.
Now therefore, restore the man's wife. For he is a prophet, and he will pray for you, and you will live. If you do not restore her, know for sure that you will die, you, and all who are yours."
8 И воста рано Авимелех, и призва вся отроки своя, и глагола словеса сия вся во ушы их: убояшася же вси человецы зело.
Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ear. The men were very scared.
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.
Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him, "What have you done to us? How have I sinned against you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You have done deeds to me that ought not to be done."
10 И рече Авимелех Аврааму: что умыслив, сотворил еси сие?
Abimelech said to Abraham, "What were you thinking, to do this thing?"
11 Рече же Авраам: рекох бо: негли несть благочестия на месте сем: и убиют мя жены ради моея:
Abraham said, "Because I thought, 'Surely the fear of God is not in this place, so 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:
Besides, she is indeed 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.
It happened, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said to her, 'This is your kindness which you shall show to me. Everywhere that we go, 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.
Abimelech took sheep and cattle, male servants and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored Sarah, his wife, to him.
15 И рече Авимелех Аврааму: се, земля моя пред тобою: идеже аще тебе угодно есть, вселися.
Abimelech said, "Look, my land is before you. Dwell where it pleases 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.
To Sarah he said, "Look, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver. Look, it is to cover the offense against you before all who are with you. In front of all you are vindicated."
17 Помолися же Авраам Богу, и исцели Бог Авимелеха и жену его и рабыни его, и начаша раждати:
Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his female servants, and they bore children.
18 яко заключая заключи Господь от внеуду всяка ложесна в дому Авимелеха, Сарры ради жены Авраамли.
For God had made every woman infertile in the household of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.
