創世記-Genesis 第 20 章

20:1	亞伯拉罕從那裏向南地遷去，住在加低斯和書珥之間，寄居在基拉耳。 And Abraham journeyed from there toward the region of the Negev and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur; then he sojourned in Gerar.
20:2	亞伯拉罕題到他的妻子撒拉，說，她是我的妹妹。基拉耳王亞比米勒差人把撒拉取了去。 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister. And Abimelech the king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.
20:3	但夜間神來在夢中對亞比米勒說，你要死啦！因為你取了那女人來；她原是別人的妻子。 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night and said to him, You are now about to die because of the woman whom you have taken, for she is a man's wife.
20:4	亞比米勒卻還沒有親近撒拉；他說，主阿，連公義的國，你也要殺滅麼？ But Abimelech had not come near her, so he said, Lord, will You slay even a righteous nation?
20:5	那人豈不是自己對我說，她是我的妹妹麼？就是女人自己也說，他是我的哥哥。我作這事是心正手潔的。 Did he himself not say to me, She is my sister? And even she herself said, He is my brother. In the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands I have done this.
20:6	神在夢中對他說，我知道你作這事是心中純正；我也攔阻了你，免得你得罪我；所以我不讓你碰她。 And God said to him in the dream, Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also prevented you from sinning against Me; therefore I did not let you touch her.
20:7	現在你把這人的妻子歸還他；因為他是申言者，他要為你禱告，使你存活。你若不歸還，你當知道，你和你所有的人都必要死。 Now therefore return the man's wife, for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you, and you will live. But if you do not return her, know that you shall surely die, you and all who are yours.
20:8	亞比米勒清早起來，召了眾臣仆來，將這些事都說給他們聽，他們就甚懼怕。 And Abimelech rose early in the morning and called all his servants and spoke all these things in their hearing. And the men were very afraid.
20:9	亞比米勒召了亞伯拉罕來，對他說，你向我們作了什麼事？我在什麼事上得罪了你，你竟使我和我的國陷在大罪裏？你向我作了不當作的事了！ Then Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, What have you done to us? And how have I sinned against you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You have done to me things that ought not to be done.
20:10	亞比米勒又對亞伯拉罕說，你見了什麼才作這事呢？ And Abimelech said to Abraham, What did you see, that you have done this thing?
20:11	亞伯拉罕說，我以為這地方的人總不懼怕神，必為我妻子的緣故殺我。 And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely there is no fear of God in this place, and they will slay me because of my wife.
20:12	況且她也實在是我的妹妹；她與我是同父異母，後來作了我的妻子。 But she is also truly my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
20:13	當神叫我離開父家、飄流在外的時候，我對她說，我們無論走到什麼地方，你題到我，要說，他是我的哥哥；這就是你以恩慈待我了。 And when God caused me to wander from my father's house, I said to her, This is your kindness which you must do to me: At every place where we go, say of me, He is my brother.
20:14	亞比米勒把牛、羊、仆人、婢女賜給亞伯拉罕，又把他的妻子撒拉歸還他。 Then Abimelech took sheep and oxen and male servants and female servants, and gave them to Abraham; and he returned to him Sarah his wife.
20:15	亞比米勒又說，看哪，我的地都在你麵前，你可以隨意居住； And Abimelech said, My land is now before you; dwell wherever it pleases you.
20:16	又對撒拉說，我給你哥哥一千錠銀子，作為你在全家人麵前遮羞的，你就在各方麵沒有不是了。 And to Sarah he said, I have now given your brother a thousand pieces of silver. It is now your vindication before all who are with you. And in every respect you have been cleared.
20:17	亞伯拉罕禱告神，神就醫好了亞比米勒和他的妻子，並他的眾女仆，她們便能生育。 And Abraham prayed to God; and God healed Abimelech and his wife and his female servants, so that they bore children.
20:18	因耶和華為亞伯拉罕的妻子撒拉的緣故，已經使亞比米勒家中所有的婦人，都不能生育。 For Jehovah had completely shut up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.
