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

¹And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the land of the South, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur. And he sojourned 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 said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister. And Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

¹⁰And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, 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 said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place. And they will slay me for my wife's sake.

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

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

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 took sheep and oxen, and men-servants and women-servants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.

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

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

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 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.

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

¹⁷And Abraham prayed unto God. And God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maid-servants. And they bare children.

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

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