¹

And Abraam removed thence to the southern country, and dwelt between Cades and Sur, and sojourned in Gerara.

¹

И по́йде отту́ду Авраа́мъ на зе́млю полу́денную и всели́ся между́ Ка́дисомъ и между́ Су́ромъ: и обита́ въ Гера́рѣхъ.

²

And Abraam said concerning Sarrha his wife, She is my sister, for he feared to say, She is my wife, lest at any time the men of the city should kill him for her sake. So Abimelech king of Gerara sent and took Sarrha.

²

Рече́ же Авраа́мъ о Са́ррѣ женѣ́ своє́й, я́ко сестра́ ми є́сть: убоя́ся бо рещи́, я́ко жена́ ми є́сть, да не когда́ убію́тъ єго́ му́жіє гра́дстіи єя́ ра́ди. Посла́ же Авімеле́хъ ца́рь Гера́рскій и взя́ Са́рру.

³

And God came to Abimelech by night in sleep, and said, Behold, thou diest for the woman, whom thou hast taken, whereas she has lived with a husband.

³

И пріи́де Бо́гъ ко Авімеле́ху но́щію во снѣ́ и рече́ єму́: се́, ты́ умира́єши жены́ ра́ди сея́, ю́же поя́лъ єси́: сія́ же є́сть сожи́телствующая му́жу.

⁴

But Abimelech had not touched her, and he said, Lord, wilt thou destroy an ignorantly sinning and just nation?

⁴

Авімеле́хъ же не прикосну́ся є́й и рече́: Го́споди, язы́къ невѣ́дущій и пра́веденъ погуби́ши ли?

⁵

Said he not to me, She is my sister, and said she not to me, He is my brother? with a pure heart and in the righteousness of my hands have I done this.

⁵

Не са́мъ ли ми́ рече́: сестра́ ми є́сть? И сія́ ми рече́: бра́тъ ми́ є́сть? Чи́стымъ се́рдцемъ и въ пра́вдѣ ру́къ сотвори́хъ сіє́.

⁶

And God said to him in sleep, Yea, I knew that thou didst this with a pure heart, and I spared thee, so that thou shouldest not sin against me, therefore I suffered thee not to touch her.

⁶

Рече́ же єму́ Бо́гъ во снѣ́: и А́зъ позна́хъ, я́ко чи́стымъ се́рдцемъ сотвори́лъ єси́ сіє́, и пощадѣ́хъ тя́, да не согрѣши́ши ко Мнѣ́: сего́ ра́ди не попусти́хъ ти́ косну́тися єя́:

⁷

But now return the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live; but if thou restore her not, know that thou shalt die and all thine.

⁷

ны́нѣ же отда́ждь жену́ му́жу, я́ко проро́къ є́сть, и помо́лится о тебѣ́, и жи́въ бу́деши: а́ще же не отда́си, вѣ́ждь, я́ко у́мреши ты́ и вся́ твоя́.

⁸

And Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and he spoke all these words in their ears, and all the men feared exceedingly.

⁸

И воста́ ра́но Авімеле́хъ, и призва́ вся́ о́троки своя́, и глаго́ла словеса́ сія́ вся́ во у́шы и́хъ: убоя́шася же вси́ человѣ́цы зѣло́.

⁹

And Abimelech called Abraam and said to him, What is this that thou hast done to us? Have we sinned against thee, that thou hast brought upon me and upon my kingdom a great sin? Thou hast done to me a deed, which no one ought to do.

⁹

И призва́ Авімеле́хъ Авраа́ма и рече́ єму́: что́ сіє́ сотвори́лъ єси́ на́мъ? Єда́ что́ согрѣши́хомъ тебѣ́, я́ко наве́лъ єси́ на мя́ и на ца́рство моє́ грѣ́хъ вели́къ? Дѣ́ло, є́же никто́же сотвори́, сотвори́лъ єси́ мнѣ́.

¹⁰

And Abimelech said to Abraam, What hast thou seen in me that thou hast done this?

¹⁰

И рече́ Авімеле́хъ Авраа́му: что́ умы́сливъ, сотвори́лъ єси́ сіє́?

¹¹

And Abraam said, Why I said, Surely there is not the worship of God in this place, and they will slay me because of my wife.

¹¹

Рече́ же Авраа́мъ: реко́хъ бо: не́гли нѣ́сть благоче́стія на мѣ́стѣ се́мъ: и убію́тъ мя́ жены́ ра́ди моєя́:

¹²

For truly she is my sister by my father, but not by my mother, and she became my wife.

¹²

и́бо и́стинно сестра́ ми є́сть по отцу́, а не по ма́тери: бы́сть же ми́ въ жену́:

¹³

And it came to pass when God brought me forth out of the house of my father, that I said to her, This righteousness thou shalt perform to me, in every place into which we may enter, say of me, He is my brother.

¹³

и бы́сть єгда́ изведе́ мя Бо́гъ от до́му отца́ моєго́, и рѣ́хъ є́й: пра́вду сію́ сотвори́ши ми́: во вся́ко мѣ́сто, идѣ́же а́ще пріи́демъ, та́мо рцы́ о мнѣ́, я́ко бра́тъ ми́ є́сть.

¹⁴

And Abimelech took a thousand pieces of silver, and sheep, and calves, and servants, and maid-servants, and gave them to Abraam, and he returned him Sarrha his wife.

¹⁴

Взя́ же Авімеле́хъ ты́сящу дідра́хмъ [сребра́], и о́вцы, и телцы́, и рабы́, и рабы́ни, и даде́ Авраа́му: и отдаде́ єму́ Са́рру жену́ єго́.

¹⁵

And Abimelech said to Abraam, Behold, my land is before thee, dwell wheresoever it may please thee.

¹⁵

И рече́ Авімеле́хъ Авраа́му: се́, земля́ моя́ предъ тобо́ю: идѣ́же а́ще тебѣ́ уго́дно є́сть, всели́ся.

¹⁶

And to Sarrha he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver, those shall be to thee for the price of thy countenance, and to all the women with thee, and speak the truth in all things.

¹⁶

Са́ррѣ же рече́: се́, да́хъ ты́сящу дідра́хмъ бра́ту твоєму́: сія́ бу́дутъ тебѣ́ въ че́сть лица́ твоєго́, и всѣ́мъ, я́же су́ть съ тобо́ю, и во все́мъ и́стинствуй.

¹⁷

And Abraam prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his women servants, and they bore children.

¹⁷

Помоли́ся же Авраа́мъ Бо́гу, и исцѣли́ Бо́гъ Авімеле́ха и жену́ єго́ и рабы́ни єго́, и нача́ша ражда́ти:

¹⁸

Because the Lord had fast closed from without every womb in the house of Abimelech, because of Sarrha Abraam's wife.

¹⁸

я́ко заключа́я заключи́ Госпо́дь от внѣу́ду вся́ка ложесна́ въ дому́ Авімеле́ха, Са́рры ра́ди жены́ Авраа́мли.
