1 亚伯拉罕从那里向南地迁去,寄居在加低斯和书珥中间的基拉耳。
2 亚伯拉罕称他的妻撒拉为妹子,基拉耳王亚比米勒差人把撒拉取了去。
3 但夜间神来在梦中对亚比米勒说,你是个死人哪,因为你取了那女人来。她原是别人的妻子。
4 亚比米勒却还没有亲近撒拉。他说,主啊,连有义的国,你也要毁灭吗?
5 那人岂不是自己对我说,她是我的妹子吗?就是女人也自己说,他是我的哥哥。我作这事是心正手洁的。
6 神在梦中对他说,我知道你作这事是心中正直。我也拦阻了你,免得你得罪我,所以我不容你沾着她。
7 现在你把这人的妻子归还他。因为他是先知,他要为你祷告,使你存活。你若不归还他,你当知道,你和你所有的人都必要死。
8 亚比米勒清早起来,召了众臣仆来,将这些事都说给他们听,他们都甚惧怕。
9 亚比米勒召了亚伯拉罕来,对他说,你怎么向我这样行呢?我在什么事上得罪了你,你竟使我和我国里的人陷在大罪里。你向我行不当行的事了。
10 亚比米勒又对亚伯拉罕说,你见了什么才作这事呢?
11 亚伯拉罕说,我以为这地方的人总不惧怕神,必为我妻子的缘故杀我。
12 况且她也实在是我的妹子。她与我是同父异母,后来作了我的妻子。
13 当神叫我离开父家,飘流在外的时候,我对她说,我们无论走到什么地方,你可以对人说,他是我的哥哥。这就是你待我的恩典了。
14 亚比米勒把牛,羊,仆婢赐给亚伯拉罕,又把他的妻子撒拉归还他。
15 亚比米勒又说,看哪,我的地都在你面前,你可以随意居住。
16 又对撒拉说,我给你哥哥一千银子,作为你在合家人面前遮羞的(羞原文作眼),你就在众人面前没有不是了。
17 亚伯拉罕祷告神,神就医好了亚比米勒和他的妻子,并他的众女仆,她们便能生育。
18 因耶和华为亚伯拉罕的妻子撒拉的缘故,已经使亚比米勒家中的妇人不能生育。
King James Version
Chapter 20
20:1 And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.
20:2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
20:3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife.
20:4 But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, LORD, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?
20:5 Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this.
20:6 And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.
20:7 Now therefore restore the man his 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.
20:8 Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid.
20:9 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and what have I offended 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.
20:10 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?
20:11 And 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.
20:12 And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
20:13 And 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 shew unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.
20:14 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
20:15 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.
20:16 And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved.
20:17 So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.
20:18 For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
