1 Mojzes 20

1 Abraham je od tam odpotoval proti južni deželi in prebival med Kadešem in Šurom in začasno prebival v Gerárju.

Abraham journeyed from there toward the land of the Negev, and lived between Kadesh and Shur. He was a foreigner living 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 concerning Sarah his wife, “She is my sister.” So Abimelech king of Gerar sent for Sarah and took her.

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 came to Abimelech in a dream in the night, and said to him, “Behold, you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken, for she is a man's wife.”

4 Toda Abiméleh se ji ni približal in rekel je: » Gospod, hočeš ubiti tudi pravičen narod?

Now Abimelech had not come near her and he said, “Lord, would you kill even a righteous nation?

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.«

Did he not himself say to me, 'She is my sister?' Even 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 him in the dream, “Yes, I also know that in the integrity of your heart you did this, and I also kept you from sinning against me. Therefore I did not allow you to 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.«

Therefore, 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, know that you and all who are yours will surely 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.

Abimelech rose early in the morning and called all of his servants to himself. He told all these things to them, and the men were very afraid.

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 for 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 to me that which ought not to be done.”

10 Abiméleh je rekel Abrahamu: »Kaj si si domišljal, da si storil to stvar?«

Abimelech said to Abraham, “What prompted you to do this thing?”

11 Abraham je rekel: »Ker sem mislil: ›Zagotovo na tem kraju ni strahu Božjega in zaradi moje žene me bodo ubili.‹

Abraham said, “Because I thought, 'Surely there is no fear of God in this place, and they will kill me because 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 is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but 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.‹«

When God caused me to leave my father's house and travel from place to place, I said to her, 'You must show me this faithfulness as my wife: At every place where we go, say about me, “He is my brother.”'”

14 Abiméleh je vzel ovce, vole, sluge in postrežnice ter jih dal Abrahamu in mu vrnil njegovo ženo Saro.

Then Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and male and female slaves, and gave them to Abraham. Then he returned Sarah, Abraham's wife, to him.

15 Abiméleh je rekel: »Glej, moja dežela je pred teboj. Prebivaj, kjer ti ugaja.«

Abimelech said, “Look, my land is before you. Settle wherever it pleases you.”

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.

To Sarah he said, “Look, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver. It is to cover any offense against you in the eyes of all that are with you, and before everyone, you are completely made right.”

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, his wife, and his female slaves so that they were able to have children.

18 Kajti Gospod je zaradi Abrahamove žene Sare, trdno zaprl vse maternice Abimélehove hiše.

For Yahweh had caused all the women of the household of Abimelech to be completely infertile, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.
