¹And Abraham journeyeth from thence toward the land of the south, and dwelleth between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourneth in Gerar;

¹Ja Aabraham siirdus sealt Lõunamaale ning asus elama Kaadesi ja Suuri vahele; ta elas Geraris võõrana.

²and Abraham saith concerning Sarah his wife, `She is my sister;` and Abimelech king of Gerar sendeth and taketh Sarah.

²Ja Aabraham ütles oma naise Saara kohta: 'Ta on minu õde.' Siis Gerari kuningas Abimelek läkitas järele ja võttis Saara.

³And God cometh in unto Abimelech in a dream of the night, and saith to him, `Lo, thou [art] a dead man, because of the woman whom thou hast taken — and she married to a husband.`

³Aga Jumal tuli Abimeleki juurde öösel unes ja ütles temale: 'Vaata, sa pead surema naise pärast, kelle sa enesele võtsid, sest ta on abielunaine!'

⁴And Abimelech hath not drawn near unto her, and he saith, `Lord, also a righteous nation dost thou slay?

⁴Abimelek aga ei olnud temasse puutunud ja vastas: 'Issand, kas tahad surmata ka õiget rahvast?

⁵hath not he himself said to me, She [is] my sister! and she, even she herself, said, He [is] my brother; in the integrity of my heart, and in the innocency of my hands, I have done this.`

⁵Eks ta öelnud mulle: Ta on minu õde? Ja tema ütles ka ise: Ta on mu vend. Ma tegin seda vaga südame ja süütute kätega.'

⁶And God saith unto him in the dream, `Yea, I — I have known that in the integrity of thy heart thou hast done this, and I withhold thee, even I, from sinning against Me, therefore I have not suffered thee to come against her;

⁶Siis ütles Jumal temale unes: 'Minagi tean, et sa tegid seda vaga südamega ja ma hoidsin sind ka minu vastu pattu tegemast: sellepärast ma ei lasknud sind temasse puutuda.

⁷and now send back the man`s wife, for he [is] inspired, and he doth pray for thee, and live thou; and if thou do not send back, know that dying thou dost die, thou, and all that thou hast.`

⁷Ja nüüd anna mehele naine tagasi, sest ta on prohvet ja ta palvetab sinu pärast, et sa jääksid elama. Aga kui sa tagasi ei anna, siis tea, et sina ja kõik, kes sul on, peate surema!'

⁸And Abimelech riseth early in the morning, and calleth for all his servants, and speaketh all these words in their ears; and the men fear exceedingly;

⁸Ja Abimelek tõusis hommikul vara, kutsus kõik oma sulased ning rääkis kõik need sõnad nende kuuldes; ja mehed kartsid väga.

⁹and Abimelech calleth for Abraham, and saith to him, `What hast thou done to us? and what have I sinned against thee, that thou hast brought upon me, and upon my kingdom, a great sin? works which are not done thou hast done with me.`

⁹Siis Abimelek kutsus Aabrahami ja ütles temale: 'Mis sa meile tegid! Millega ma sinu vastu pattu tegin, et sa tõid suure süü minu ja mu kuningriigi peale? Sa oled minuga teinud sündmatuid tegusid!'

¹⁰Abimelech also saith unto Abraham, `What hast thou seen that thou hast done this thing?`

¹⁰Ja Abimelek küsis Aabrahamilt: 'Mida sa mõtlesid seda asja tehes?'

¹¹And Abraham saith, `Because I said, `Surely the fear of God is not in this place, and they have slain me for the sake of my wife;

¹¹Ja Aabraham vastas: 'Mina mõtlesin ainult, et selles paigas ei ole jumalakartust ja mind tapetakse mu naise pärast.

¹²and also, truly she is my sister, daughter of my father, only not daughter of my mother, and she becometh my wife;

¹²Ja tema ongi tõepoolest mu õde: mu isa tütar, kuigi mitte mu ema tütar; seetõttu ta sai mu naiseks.

¹³and it cometh to pass, when God hath caused me to wander from my father`s house, that I say to her, This [is] thy kindness which thou dost with me: at every place whither we come, say of me, He [is] my brother.`

¹³Aga kui Jumal saatis mind isamajast rändama, ütlesin ma temale: Osuta mulle seda armastust, et sa kõigis paigus, kuhu tuleme, minu kohta ütled: Ta on mu vend.'

¹⁴And Abimelech taketh sheep and oxen, and servants and handmaids, and giveth to Abraham, and sendeth back to him Sarah his wife;

¹⁴Siis Abimelek võttis lambaid, kitsi ja veiseid, sulaseid ja teenijaid ja andis Aabrahamile; ja ta andis temale tagasi Saara, ta naise.

¹⁵and Abimelech saith, `Lo, my land [is] before thee, where it is good in thine eyes, dwell;`

¹⁵Ja Abimelek ütles: 'Vaata, mu maa on lahti sinu ees, ela, kus sulle meeldib!'

¹⁶and to Sarah he hath said, `Lo, I have given a thousand silverlings to thy brother; lo, it is to thee a covering of eyes, to all who are with thee;` and by all this she is reasoned with.

¹⁶Ja Saarale ta ütles: 'Näe, ma annan su vennale tuhat hõbetükki. Vaata, see olgu sulle hüvituseks kõigi ees, kes su juures on. Sa oled kõiges õigeks osutunud.'

¹⁷And Abraham prayeth unto God, and God healeth Abimelech and his wife, and his handmaids, and they bear:

¹⁷Ja Aabraham palus Jumalat ja Jumal tegi terveks Abimeleki, ta naise ja ta teenijad, nõnda et nad said lapsi,

¹⁸for Jehovah restraining had restrained every womb of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham`s wife.

¹⁸sest Issand oli sulgenud kõvasti kõik emaihud Abimeleki kojas Saara, Aabrahami naise pärast.
