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

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

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

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

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.”

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

⁴Now Abimelech had not come near her. He said, “Lord, will you kill even a righteous nation?

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

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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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

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

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!”

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.”’”

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.

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

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

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

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

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.”

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.

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

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

¹⁸For Yahweh had closed up tight all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham’s wife.

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