¹And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the land of the South, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur. And he sojourned in Gerar.

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

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

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

³But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, because of the woman whom thou hast taken. For she is a man's wife.

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

⁴Now Abimelech had not come near her. And he said, Lord, wilt thou slay even a righteous nation?

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

⁵Said he not himself unto me, She is my sister? And she, even she herself said, He is my brother. In the integrity of my heart and the innocency of my hands have I 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 said unto him in the dream, Yea, I know that in the integrity of thy heart thou has done this, and I also withheld thee from sinning against me. Therefore suffered I thee not to touch 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.

⁷Now therefore restore the man's 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.

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 rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ear. And the men were sore afraid.

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

⁹Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? And wherein have I sinned against 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.

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!'

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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 took sheep and oxen, and men-servants and women-servants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored 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 said, Behold, my land is before thee. Dwell where it pleaseth thee.

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

¹⁶And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver. Behold, it is for thee a covering of the eyes to all that are with thee. And in respect of all thou art righted.

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 prayed unto God. And God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maid-servants. And they bare children.

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

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

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