¹And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.

¹A Abrahám sa rušal odtiaľ do zeme na juhu a býval medzi Kádešom a medzi Šúrom a pohostínil v Geráre,

²And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.

²kde povedal Abrahám o Sáre, svojej žene: To je moja sestra. A Abimelech, kráľ Gerára, poslal svojich sluhov a vzal Sáru.

³But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife.

³Ale Bôh prišiel k Abimelechovi vo sne vnoci a riekol mu: Hľa, zomrieš pre ženu, ktorú si vzal, lebo má muža.

⁴But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, LORD, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?

⁴A Abimelech sa jej nepriblížil a povedal: Ó, Pane, či zabiješ aj spravedlivý národ?

⁵Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this.

⁵Či mi on sám nepovedal: Je moja sestra? A ona tiež vravela: To je môj brat. V prostote svojho srdca a v nevine svojich rúk som to urobil.

⁶And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.

⁶A Bôh mu riekol vo sne: I ja viem, že si to urobil v prostote svojho srdca, a preto som ťa i ja zdržal, aby si nezhrešil proti mne; pre tú príčinu som ti nedal, aby si sa jej dotknul.

⁷Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.

⁷A tak teraz vráť ženu toho muža, lebo je prorok, a bude sa modliť za teba a budeš žiť. Ale ak nevrátiš, vedz, že istotne zomrieš i ty i všetko, čo je tvoje.

⁸Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid.

⁸Vtedy vstal Abimelech skoro ráno a svolal všetkých svojich služobníkov a porozprával všetky tie slová pred nimi. A mužovia sa báli veľmi.

⁹Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done.

⁹Potom zavolal Abimelech Abraháma a povedal mu: Čo si nám to urobil? A čím som sa prehrešil proti tebe, že si uviedol na mňa a na moje kráľovstvo veľký hriech? Urobil si mi veci, jaké si mi nemal urobiť.

¹⁰And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?

¹⁰A ešte povedal Abimelech Abrahámovi: Čo si videl, že si urobil tú vec?

¹¹And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake.

¹¹A Abrahám riekol: Vskutku som povedal: Istotne nie je bázne Božej na tomto mieste, a tak ma tu zabijú pre moju ženu.

¹²And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.

¹²A je aj naozaj mojou sestrou, lebo je dcérou môjho otca, lenže nie je dcérou mojej matky a stala sa mojou ženou.

¹³And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said unto her, This is thy kindness which thou shalt show unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.

¹³A stalo sa, keď ma vyviedli Bohovia z domu môjho otca, aby som blúdil svetom, že som jej povedal: Toto bude tvoje milosrdenstvo, ktoré učiníš so mnou: na každom mieste, kam prijdeme, hovor o mne: To je môj brat.

¹⁴And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.

¹⁴Vtedy vzal Abimelech drobné stádo, ovce a kozy, a hovädá, sluhov a dievky a dal ich Abrahámovi, a tak mu vrátil Sáru, jeho ženu.

¹⁵And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.

¹⁵A ešte povedal Abimelech: Hľa, moja zem leží pred tebou, bývaj tam, kde sa ti ľúbi.

¹⁶And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved.

¹⁶A Sáre povedal: Hľa, dal som tvojmu bratovi tisíc striebra, a tedy hľa, to ti bude závojom očí pre všetkých, ktorí sú s tebou jako aj u všetkých. A bola pokarhaná.

¹⁷So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.

¹⁷A Abrahám sa modlil k Bohu, a Bôh uzdravil Abimelecha i jeho ženu i jeho dievky, a rodily.

¹⁸For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.

¹⁸Lebo Hospodin bol pevne zavrel každé lono domu Abimelechovho pre Sáru, ženu Abrahámovu.
