1 Mojzes 20
1 Abraham je od tam odpotoval proti južni deželi in prebival med Kadešem in Šurom in začasno prebival v Gerárju.
Abraham left Mamre and moved southwest to the Negev desert and lived in a place named Gerar, between Kadesh and Shur.
2 O Sari, svoji ženi, je Abraham rekel: »Ona je moja sestra.« In kralj Abiméleh iz Gerárja je poslal in vzel Saro.
While he was there, he told people that Sarah was his sister, not his wife. Then King Abimelech of Gerar sent some of his men to Sarah, and they brought her to him to be his wife.
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.«
But God appeared to Abimelech in a dream during the night and said to him, “Listen to me! You are going to die because the woman you took is another man’s wife.”
4 Toda Abiméleh se ji ni približal in rekel je: » Gospod, hočeš ubiti tudi pravičen narod?
But Abimelech had not had sex [EUP] with her, so he said, “God, since the people of my nation and I am innocent; will you kill me?
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.«
He told me, ‘She is my sister,’ and she also said, ‘He is my brother.’ I did this with pure motives and I [SYN] have not done anything wrong yet.”
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.
God said to him in another dream, “Yes, I know that your motives were pure. That is why I truly prevented you from sinning against me. I did not allow you to have sex [EUP] with 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 this man’s wife to her husband, because he is (a prophet/a man who receives messages from me). He will pray for you, and you will (remain alive/not die). But if you do not return her to him, you will certainly die, and all the members of your household will also certainly die.”
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 summoned all his officials, and told them everything that had happened. When they heard that [MTY], his men were very afraid [that God would punish them].
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.«
Abimelech then summoned Abraham, and said to him, “You should not have done that to us [RHQ]! Did I do something wrong to you, with the result that you are causing me and the people in [MTY] my kingdom to be guilty of committing a great sin [RHQ]? You have done things to me that (should not be done/you should not have done)!”
10 Abiméleh je rekel Abrahamu: »Kaj si si domišljal, da si storil to stvar?«
Abimelech asked Abraham, “What was your reason for doing this?”
11 Abraham je rekel: »Ker sem mislil: ›Zagotovo na tem kraju ni strahu Božjega in zaradi moje žene me bodo ubili.‹
Abraham replied, “I said that because I thought, ‘They certainly do not respect God in this place. If they don’t respect God, they will not respect relationships with others. [If I say she is my sister, they will try to pay me a bride price] to get her. But if I say she is my wife, they will kill me to get her.’
12 Vendar je zares moja sestra; je hči mojega očeta, toda ne hči moje matere in postala je moja žena.
Besides, she really [can be considered] my sister, because she is the daughter of my father, although she is not the daughter of my mother. She is the daughter of another woman, and I married her.
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.‹«
Later, when God told me to move away from my father’s household, I said to her, ‘This is the way you can show that you love me: Everywhere we go, say about me, “This 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 some sheep and cattle and male and female slaves and gave them to Abraham. And he returned his wife Sarah to him.
15 Abiméleh je rekel: »Glej, moja dežela je pred teboj. Prebivaj, kjer ti ugaja.«
And Abimelech said to him, “Look! All my land is here in front of you. Live in whatever place you like!”
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, “Look here, I am giving 1,000 pieces of silver to your brother. This is to insure that no one will [bring up this matter again and] say that I have done something wrong. [EUP, IDM]”
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’s wife and his slave girls so that they could become pregnant.
18 Kajti Gospod je zaradi Abrahamove žene Sare, trdno zaprl vse maternice Abimélehove hiše.
This was because Yahweh had caused it to be impossible for any of the women in Abimelech’s household to bear children, because Abimelech had taken Abraham’s wife Sarah.
