¹Abraham traveled from there toward the land of the South, and lived between Kadesh and Shur. He lived as a foreigner in Gerar.

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

²Abraham said about Sarah his wife, “She is my sister.” 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, you are a dead man, because of the woman whom you have 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. He said, “Lord, will you kill even a righteous nation?

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

⁵Didn’t he tell me, ‘She is my sister?’ She, even she herself, said, ‘He is my brother.’ In the integrity of my heart and the innocence 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.'

⁶God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also withheld you from sinning against me. Therefore I didn’t allow you 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 will pray for you, and you will live. If you don’t restore her, know for sure that you will die, you, and all who are yours.”

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!'

⁸Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ear. The men were very scared.

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 to him, “What have you done to us? How have I sinned against you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You have done deeds to 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!'

¹⁰Abimelech said to Abraham, “What did you see, that you have done this thing?”

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

¹¹Abraham said, “Because I thought, ‘Surely the fear of God is not in this place. They will kill me for my wife’s sake.’

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

¹²Besides, 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.

¹³It happened, when God caused me to wander from my father’s house, that I said to her, ‘This is your kindness which you shall show to me. Everywhere that we go, 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.'

¹⁴Abimelech took sheep and cattle, male servants and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored Sarah, his wife, to him.

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

¹⁵Abimelech said, “Behold, my land is before you. Dwell where it pleases you.”

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

¹⁶To Sarah he said, “Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver. Behold, it is for you a covering of the eyes to all that are with you. In front of all you are vindicated.”

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.'

¹⁷Abraham prayed to God. God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his female servants, and they bore children.

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

¹⁸For Yahweh had closed up tight 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.
