創世記

第20章

1 亞伯拉罕徙於南方,旅於其臘,其地在迦鐵書耳間。

2 亞伯拉罕稱其妻撒拉爲妹,故其臘王亞庇米力召之入宮。

3 一夕上帝見夢諭亞庇米力曰:爾取此婦,當死,蓋人之妻也。

4 庇米力未玷婦身,故曰:爲義之民,主豈滅之乎?

5 彼非稱婦爲妹,婦稱夫爲兄乎,我之爲此,心本純良,手無污衊。

6 上帝曰:我知爾爲此,心本純良,故我阻爾,使爾不玷婦身,以干罪戾。

7 今以婦歸其夫,彼乃先知,可代爾祈,全爾生命,不然,爾與眷聚必死。

8 亞庇米力夙興,召僕衆,告以斯事,衆僕聞之,懼甚。

9 亞庇米力呼亞伯拉罕曰:爾果何爲,我曷嘗獲罪爾,乃陷我於重罪,爰及人民,爾之相待,甚非所宜。

10 又曰:爾至此何所見而行是。

11 亞伯拉罕曰:我意此邦不畏上帝,恐爲我妻而殺我。

12 彼誠我妹,同父異母,我娶爲室。

13 昔上帝命我離父家,遨遊於外,我囑婦曰:後所適之邦,必稱我爲兄,是則待我以恩。

14 亞庇米力遂將牛羊僕婢賜之,幷歸其妻。

15 亞庇米力曰:吾之土地,具在爾前,任意居之。

16 謂撒拉曰:我以千金賜爾兄,可蔽爾容,勿令衆見,言此蓋以責之。〇

17 亞伯拉罕祈上帝,遂醫亞庇米力,與妻及婢,使之生育。

18 蓋耶和華因撒拉故,曾使亞庇米力之眷聚不能姙育。

Chapter 20

1 AND Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and settled between Rakim and Gadar, and Abraham sojourned in Gadar.

2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister; and Abimeleck king of Gadar sent and took Sarah.

3 But God came to Abimeleck in a dream by night and said to him, Behold, you will die on account of the woman whom you have taken; for she is another man's wife.

4 But Abimeleck had not touched her; and he said, O LORD, wilt thou slay an innocent people?

5 Behold, he said, She is my sister; and she herself also said, He is my brother; in the innocence of my heart and purity of my hands have I done this.

6 And God said to him in a dream, Yea, I know that you have done this in the innocence of your heart; for I also restrained you from sinning against me; therefore I did not permit you to touch her.

7 Now therefore restore the man's wife, for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for you, and you shall live; but if you do not restore her, then know that you will surely die, you, and all your family.

8 Therefore Abimeleck rose early in the morning and called all of his servants and told them all these words; and the men were exceedingly afraid.

9 Then Abimeleck called Abraham and said to him, What have I done to you? and what crime have I committed against you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom such a great sin? You have done to me things that ought not to be done.

10 And Abimeleck said to Abraham, What induced you to do this thing?

11 And Abraham said, Because I thought, perhaps there is no fear of God in this country; and they will slay me for my wife's sake.

12 And yet truly she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.

13 And it came to pass when God brought me forth out of my father's house, I said to her, This is the favor which you shall do to me; at every place whither we shall go, say of me, He is my brother.

14 And Abimeleck took sheep and oxen and male and female servants and gave them to Abraham and restored to him Sarah his wife.

15 Then Abimeleck said to Abraham, Behold, my land is before you; dwell wherever you please.

16 And to Sarah he said, Behold, I have given a thousand pieces of silver to your brother; behold, it is given for you, because you have been humbled in the eyes of my people, and because of the other things for which I have reproved you.

17 So Abraham prayed to God and God healed Abimeleck and his wife and his maidservants, and they bore children.

18 For the LORD had fast closed up the wombs of all women in the household of Abimeleck because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.
