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

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

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

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

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

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.`

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

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

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.

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.`

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.

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;

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.

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.`

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

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;

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.

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.`

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

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

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

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;

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

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

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.

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.`

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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