1 Mojzes 20
1 Abraham je od tam odpotoval proti južni deželi in prebival med Kadešem in Šurom in začasno prebival v Gerárju.
Now Abraham journeyed from there to the region of the Negev and settled between Kadesh and Shur. While he was staying in Gerar,
2 O Sari, svoji ženi, je Abraham rekel: »Ona je moja sestra.« In kralj Abiméleh iz Gerárja je poslal in vzel Saro.
Abraham said of his wife Sarah, “She is my sister.” So Abimelech king of Gerar had Sarah brought to him.
3 Toda Bog je ponoči v sanjah prišel k Abimélehu in mu rekel: »Glej, ti si samo mrtev človek zaradi ženske, ki si jo vzel, kajti ona je moževa žena.«
One night, however, God came to Abimelech in a dream and told him, “You are as good as dead because of the woman you have taken, for she is a married woman.”
4 Toda Abiméleh se ji ni približal in rekel je: » Gospod, hočeš ubiti tudi pravičen narod?
Now Abimelech had not gone near her, so he replied, “Lord, would You destroy a nation even though it is innocent?
5 Ali mi ni rekel: ›Ona je moja sestra?‹ In ona, celo ona sama je rekla: ›On je moj brat.‹ To sem storil v neokrnjenosti svojega srca in nedolžnosti svojih rok.«
Didn’t Abraham tell me, ‘She is my sister’? And she herself said, ‘He is my brother.’ I have done this in the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands.”
6 Bog mu je v sanjah rekel: »Da, vem, da si to storil v neokrnjenosti svojega srca, kajti tudi jaz sem te zadržal pred pregrešitvijo zoper mene, zato ti nisem dovolil, da se je dotakneš.
Then God said to Abimelech in the dream, “Yes, I know that you did this with a clear conscience, and so I have kept you from sinning against Me. That is why I did not let you touch her.
7 Zdaj torej vrni človeku njegovo ženo, kajti on je prerok in molil bo zate in boš živel. Če pa je ne povrneš, vedi, da boš zagotovo umrl, ti in vse, kar je tvojega.«
Now return the man’s wife, for he is a prophet; he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not restore her, be aware that you will surely die—you and all who belong to you.”
8 Zato je Abiméleh zgodaj zjutraj vstal in poklical vse svoje služabnike ter jim v njihova ušesa povedal vse te stvari in ljudje so bili boleče prestrašeni.
Early the next morning Abimelech got up and summoned all his servants; and when he described to them all that had happened, the men were terrified.
9 Potem je Abiméleh poklical Abrahama in mu rekel: »Kaj si nam storil? In kaj sem ti zagrešil, da si nadme in na moje kraljestvo privedel velik greh? Storil si mi dejanja, ki sploh ne bi smela biti storjena.«
Then Abimelech called Abraham and asked, “What have you done to us? How have I sinned against you, that you have brought such tremendous guilt upon me and my kingdom? You have done things to me that should not be done.”
10 Abiméleh je rekel Abrahamu: »Kaj si si domišljal, da si storil to stvar?«
Abimelech also asked Abraham, “What prompted you to do such a thing?”
11 Abraham je rekel: »Ker sem mislil: ›Zagotovo na tem kraju ni strahu Božjega in zaradi moje žene me bodo ubili.‹
Abraham replied, “I thought to myself, ‘Surely there is no fear of God in this place. They will kill me on account of my wife.’
12 Vendar je zares moja sestra; je hči mojega očeta, toda ne hči moje matere in postala je moja žena.
Besides, she really is my sister, the daughter of my father—though not the daughter of my mother—and she became my wife.
13 Pripetilo se je, ko me je Bog pripravil do tega, da se oddaljim od hiše svojega očeta, da sem ji rekel: ›To je tvoja prijaznost, ki mi jo boš izkazala: na vsakem kraju, kamor bova prišla, o meni reci: ›Moj brat je.‹«
So when God had me journey from my father’s house, I said to Sarah, ‘This is how you can show your loyalty to me: Wherever we go, say of me, “He is my brother.”’”
14 Abiméleh je vzel ovce, vole, sluge in postrežnice ter jih dal Abrahamu in mu vrnil njegovo ženo Saro.
So Abimelech brought sheep and cattle, menservants and maidservants, and he gave them to Abraham and restored his wife Sarah to him.
15 Abiméleh je rekel: »Glej, moja dežela je pred teboj. Prebivaj, kjer ti ugaja.«
And Abimelech said, “Look, my land is before you. Settle wherever you please.”
16 Sari pa je rekel: »Glej, tvojemu bratu sem dal tisoč koščkov srebra. Glej, on ti je pokrivalo tvojim očem, vsem, ki so s teboj in z vsemi drugimi.« Tako je bila opravičena.
And he said to Sarah, “See, I am giving your brother a thousand pieces of silver. It is your vindication before all who are with you; you are completely cleared.”
17 Tako je Abraham molil k Bogu in Bog je ozdravil Abiméleha, njegovo ženo in njegove dekle, in rodile so otroke.
Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech and his wife and his maidservants, so that they could again bear children—
18 Kajti Gospod je zaradi Abrahamove žene Sare, trdno zaprl vse maternice Abimélehove hiše.
for on account of Abraham’s wife Sarah, the LORD had completely closed all the wombs in Abimelech’s household.
