创世记 20
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
亞伯拉罕與亞比米勒
20 亞伯拉罕從那裡遷到南地,就住在加低斯和書珥中間。亞伯拉罕寄居在基拉耳的時候, 2 曾經提到他的妻子撒拉說:“她是我的妹妹。”於是基拉耳王亞比米勒派人來把撒拉取了去。 3 當夜, 神在夢中來到亞比米勒那裡,對他說:“你該死,因為你接來的那女人,是個有夫之婦。” 4 亞比米勒還沒有親近撒拉,所以他說:“我主啊,連正義的人你也要殺害嗎? 5 那人豈不是自己對我說:‘她是我的妹妹’嗎?就是那女人自己也說:‘他是我的哥哥’。我作這事,是手潔心清的。” 6 神在夢中對他說:“我也知道你作這事,是問心無愧的,所以我也阻止你,免得你得罪我。因此我不容許你接觸她。 7 現在你要把那人的妻子還給他,因為他是先知,他要為你禱告,你才可以存活。你若不還給他,你當知道,你和所有屬你的,都死定了。”
8 亞比米勒清早起來,召了他的眾臣僕來,把這一切都說給他們聽,以致他們都很懼怕。 9 亞比米勒把亞伯拉罕召了來,對他說:“你為甚麼向我們這樣行呢?我在甚麼事上得罪了你,以致你給我和我的國帶來這個大罪呢?你對我作了不應該作的事。” 10 亞比米勒又對亞伯拉罕說:“你為了甚麼緣故要這樣作呢?” 11 亞伯拉罕回答:“因為我以為這地方必定沒有敬畏 神的人,他們會因我妻子的緣故殺我。 12 何況她也實在是我的妹妹;她原是我同父異母的妹妹,後來作了我的妻子。 13 神叫我離開我父家,在外飄流的時候,我對她說:‘我們無論到甚麼地方去,你都要對人說:“他是我的哥哥。”這就是你待我的恩情了。’” 14 亞比米勒取了些牛羊、僕婢,送給亞伯拉罕,又把亞伯拉罕的妻子撒拉還給他。 15 亞比米勒說:“看哪,我的國土都在你面前,你喜歡哪裡,就住在哪裡吧。”
16 他又對撒拉說:“看哪,我給了你哥哥一千銀子,作你在全家人面前的遮羞錢(“遮羞錢”直譯是“眼睛的遮蓋”;原文意思不確定;或譯:“清白的證明”)。這樣,你在眾人面前就算清白了。” 17 亞伯拉罕禱告 神, 神就醫好了亞比米勒和他的妻子,以及他的眾婢女,使她們能生育。 18 因為耶和華為了亞伯拉罕妻子撒拉的緣故,曾經使亞比米勒家中所有的婦女,都不能生育。

Abramo a Gerar
20 Abramo levò le tende di là, dirigendosi nel Negheb, e si stabilì tra Kades e Sur; poi soggiornò come straniero a Gerar. 2 Siccome Abramo aveva detto della moglie Sara: «E' mia sorella», Abimèlech, re di Gerar, mandò a prendere Sara. 3 Ma Dio venne da Abimèlech di notte, in sogno, e gli disse: «Ecco stai per morire a causa della donna che tu hai presa; essa appartiene a suo marito». 4 Abimèlech, che non si era ancora accostato a lei, disse: «Mio Signore, vuoi far morire anche la gente innocente? 5 Non mi ha forse detto: E' mia sorella? E anche lei ha detto: E' mio fratello. Con retta coscienza e mani innocenti ho fatto questo». 6 Gli rispose Dio nel sogno: «Anch'io so che con retta coscienza hai fatto questo e ti ho anche impedito di peccare contro di me: perciò non ho permesso che tu la toccassi. 7 Ora restituisci la donna di quest'uomo: egli è un profeta: preghi egli per te e tu vivrai. Ma se tu non la restituisci, sappi che sarai degno di morte con tutti i tuoi». 8 Allora Abimèlech si alzò di mattina presto e chiamò tutti i suoi servi, ai quali riferì tutte queste cose, e quegli uomini si impaurirono molto. 9 Poi Abimèlech chiamò Abramo e gli disse: «Che ci hai fatto? E che colpa ho commesso contro di te, perché tu abbia esposto me e il mio regno ad un peccato tanto grande? Tu hai fatto a mio riguardo azioni che non si fanno». 10 Poi Abimèlech disse ad Abramo: «A che miravi agendo in tal modo?». 11 Rispose Abramo: «Io mi sono detto: certo non vi sarà timor di Dio in questo luogo e mi uccideranno a causa di mia moglie. 12 Inoltre essa è veramente mia sorella, figlia di mio padre, ma non figlia di mia madre, ed è divenuta mia moglie. 13 Allora, quando Dio mi ha fatto errare lungi dalla casa di mio padre, io le dissi: Questo è il favore che tu mi farai: in ogni luogo dove noi arriveremo dirai di me: è mio fratello». 14 Allora Abimèlech prese greggi e armenti, schiavi e schiave, li diede ad Abramo e gli restituì la moglie Sara. 15 Inoltre Abimèlech disse: «Ecco davanti a te il mio territorio: và ad abitare dove ti piace!». 16 A Sara disse: «Ecco, ho dato mille pezzi d'argento a tuo fratello: sarà per te come un risarcimento di fronte a quanti sono con te. Così tu sei in tutto riabilitata». 17 Abramo pregò Dio e Dio guarì Abimèlech, sua moglie e le sue serve, sì che poterono ancora partorire. 18 Perché il Signore aveva reso sterili tutte le donne della casa di Abimèlech, per il fatto di Sara, moglie di Abramo.
Genesis 20
New King James Version
Abraham and Abimelech
20 And Abraham journeyed from (A)there to the South, and dwelt between (B)Kadesh and Shur, and (C)stayed in Gerar. 2 Now Abraham said of Sarah his wife, (D)“She is my sister.” And Abimelech king of Gerar sent and (E)took Sarah.
3 But (F)God came to Abimelech (G)in a dream by night, and said to him, (H)“Indeed you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken, for she is [a]a man’s wife.”
4 But Abimelech had not come near her; and he said, “Lord, (I)will You slay a righteous nation also? 5 Did he not say to me, ‘She is my sister’? And she, even she herself said, ‘He is my brother.’ (J)In the [b]integrity of my heart and innocence of my hands I have done this.”
6 And God said to him in a dream, “Yes, I know that you did this in the integrity of your heart. For (K)I also withheld you from sinning (L)against Me; therefore I did not let you touch her. 7 Now therefore, restore the man’s wife; (M)for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you shall live. But if you do not restore her, (N)know that you shall surely die, you (O)and all who are yours.”
8 So Abimelech rose early in the morning, called all his servants, and told all these things in their hearing; and the men were very much afraid. 9 And Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, “What have you done to us? How have I [c]offended you, (P)that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You have done deeds to me (Q)that ought not to be done.” 10 Then Abimelech said to Abraham, “What did you have in view, that you have done this thing?”
11 And Abraham said, “Because I thought, surely (R)the fear of God is not in this place; and (S)they will kill me on account of my wife. 12 But indeed (T)she is truly 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 (U)God caused me to wander from my father’s house, that I said to her, ‘This is your kindness that you should do for me: in every place, wherever we go, (V)say of me, “He is my brother.” ’ ”
14 Then Abimelech (W)took sheep, oxen, and male and female servants, and gave them to Abraham; and he restored Sarah his wife to him. 15 And Abimelech said, “See, (X)my land is before you; dwell where it pleases you.” 16 Then to Sarah he said, “Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver; (Y)indeed this [d]vindicates you (Z)before all who are with you and before everybody.” Thus she was [e]rebuked.
17 So Abraham (AA)prayed to God; and God (AB)healed Abimelech, his wife, and his female servants. Then they bore children; 18 for the Lord (AC)had closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah, Abraham’s wife.

New International Version
Abraham and Abimelek(A)
20 Now Abraham moved on from there(B) into the region of the Negev(C) and lived between Kadesh(D) and Shur.(E) For a while(F) he stayed in Gerar,(G) 2 and there Abraham said of his wife Sarah, “She is my sister.(H)” Then Abimelek(I) king of Gerar sent for Sarah and took her.(J)
3 But God came to Abimelek(K) in a dream(L) one night and said to him, “You are as good as dead(M) because of the woman you have taken; she is a married woman.”(N)
4 Now Abimelek had not gone near her, so he said, “Lord, will you destroy an innocent nation?(O) 5 Did he not say to me, ‘She is my sister,(P)’ and didn’t she also say, ‘He is my brother’? I have done this with a clear conscience(Q) and clean hands.(R)”
6 Then God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know you did this with a clear conscience, and so I have kept(S) you from sinning against me.(T) That is why I did not let you touch her. 7 Now return the man’s wife, for he is a prophet,(U) and he will pray for you(V) and you will live. But if you do not return her, you may be sure that you and all who belong to you will die.”(W)
8 Early the next morning Abimelek summoned all his officials, and when he told them all that had happened, they were very much afraid. 9 Then Abimelek called Abraham in and said, “What have you done to us? How have I wronged you that you have brought such great guilt upon me and my kingdom? You have done things to me that should never be done.(X)” 10 And Abimelek asked Abraham, “What was your reason for doing this?”
11 Abraham replied, “I said to myself, ‘There is surely no fear of God(Y) in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.’(Z) 12 Besides, she really is my sister,(AA) the daughter of my father though not of my mother; and she became my wife. 13 And when God had me wander(AB) from my father’s household,(AC) I said to her, ‘This is how you can show your love to me: Everywhere we go, say of me, “He is my brother.”’”
14 Then Abimelek(AD) brought sheep and cattle and male and female slaves and gave them to Abraham,(AE) and he returned Sarah his wife to him. 15 And Abimelek said, “My land is before you; live wherever you like.”(AF)
16 To Sarah he said, “I am giving your brother a thousand shekels[a] of silver. This is to cover the offense against you before all who are with you; you are completely vindicated.”
17 Then Abraham prayed to God,(AG) and God healed Abimelek, his wife and his female slaves so they could have children again, 18 for the Lord had kept all the women in Abimelek’s household from conceiving because of Abraham’s wife Sarah.(AH)
