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

¹And Abraham departed thence towards the south country, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned at 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 the 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 by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art [but] a dead man, because of the woman that thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife.

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

⁴But Abimelech had not come near her. And he said, Lord, wilt thou also kill 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.

⁵Did he not say to me, She is my sister? and she, even she said, He is my brother. In the integrity of my heart and in 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 to him in a dream, I also knew that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart, and I, too, have withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore have I not suffered thee 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.

⁷And now, restore the man's wife; for he is a prophet, and will pray for thee, that thou mayest live. And if thou do not restore [her], know that thou shalt certainly die, thou and all that is 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 spoke all these words in their ears; and the men were greatly 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.

⁹And Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, What hast thou done to us? And in what have I sinned against thee, that thou hast brought on me, and on my kingdom, a great sin? Thou hast done to me deeds that ought not to be done.

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

¹⁰And Abimelech said to Abraham, What hast thou seen that thou hast done this?

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 said, Surely the fear of God is not in this place, and they will kill 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.

¹²But she is also truly 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 to her, Let this be thy kindness which thou shalt shew to 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 bondmen and bondwomen, and gave [them] to 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 is good in thine eyes.

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 said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand [pieces] of silver; behold, let that be to thee a covering of the eyes, in respect of all that are with thee, and with all; and she was reproved.

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

¹⁷And Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife and his handmaids, and they bore [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.
