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

¹Šel pa je Abraham odondod v južno pokrajino, da bi prebival med Kadesom in Surom; in bival je kot tujec v Gerarju.

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

²In Abraham je rekel za Saro, ženo svojo: Sestra je moja. In Abimelek, kralj gerarski, pošlje ter vzame Saro.

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.

³Ali pride Bog k Abimeleku v nočnih sanjah in mu reče: Glej, takoj umreš zaradi te žene, ki si jo vzel, ker je možu poročena.

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

⁴Abimelek pa se ji ni bil približal, zato reče: Gospod, ali bi pomoril tudi narod pravičen?

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.

⁵Ni li mi rekel sam: Sestra je moja? pa tudi ona je rekla: Brat je moj. V nedolžnosti srca svojega in v čistosti rok svojih sem storil to.

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.

⁶In mu reče Bog v sanjah: Saj jaz vem, da si storil to v nedolžnosti srca svojega, in tudi ubranil sem ti jaz, da nisi grešil zoper mene, zato ti nisem pustil dotekniti se je.

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.

⁷Zdaj torej vrni ženo onemu možu; prorok namreč je, in bo prosil zate, in živel boš; ako pa je ne vrneš, vedi, da vsekakor umreš, ti in vsi tvoji.

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.

⁸Zjutraj torej vstane Abimelek prav zgodaj, in ko je poklical vse hlapce svoje, jim pove vse te besede, da so slišali; in silno so se bali tisti možje.

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.

⁹Nato pokliče Abimelek Abrahama ter mu reče: Kaj si nam storil? Ali kaj sem grešil zoper tebe, da si pripravil nadme in nad kraljestvo moje veliko pregreho? Dela, katerih ni storiti, si storil zoper mene.

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

¹⁰Še reče Abimelek Abrahamu: Kaj se ti je zdelo, ko si storil to reč?

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.

¹¹Abraham pa reče: Ker sem dejal, da gotovo ni strahu Božjega v tem kraju, zato me bodo umorili zaradi žene moje.

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.

¹²Ali tudi v resnici je sestra moja, očeta mojega hči, a ne hči matere moje; in vzel sem si jo za ženo.

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.

¹³Bilo pa je, ko mi je velel Bog potovati iz hiše očeta mojega v daljavo, da sem ji rekel: Ta bodi prijaznost, ki mi jo izkazuj, v kateri kraj koli pridemo, da rečeš zame: Brat je moj.

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

¹⁴Tedaj vzame Abimelek ovce in goveda in hlapce in dekle, ter jih da Abrahamu in mu vrne Saro, ženo njegovo.

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

¹⁵In mu veli Abimelek: Glej, dežela moja ti je na voljo; kjerkoli se ti poljubi, bivaj!

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.

¹⁶Sari pa reče: Glej, dal sem tisoč srebrnikov bratu tvojemu, glej, to ti bodi v pregrinjalo oči pri vseh, ki so s teboj, in pred vsemi si opravičena.

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

¹⁷In Abraham je molil k Bogu, in Bog ozdravi Abimeleka in ženo njegovo in dekle njegove, da so rodile.Bil je namreč dočista zaprl GOSPOD vsako maternico v hiši Abimelekovi zaradi Sare, žene Abrahamove.

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

¹⁸Bil je namreč dočista zaprl GOSPOD vsako maternico v hiši Abimelekovi zaradi Sare, žene Abrahamove.
