* 亚伯拉罕和亚比米勒
§2
* 创20:1 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。
§3
*And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.
§4
* 创20:2 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。
§5
*And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
§6
* 创20:3 但夜间，上帝来，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。”
§7
*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.
§8
* 创20:4 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？
§9
*But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, LORD, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?
§10
* 创20:5 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。’我做这事是心正手洁的。”
§11
*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.
§12
* 创20:6 上帝在梦中对他说：“我知道你做这事是心中正直；我也拦阻了你，免得你得罪我，所以我不容你沾着她。
§13
*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.
§14
* 创20:7 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。”
§15
*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.
§16
* 创20:8 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。
§17
*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.
§18
* 创20:9 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！”
§19
*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
* 创20:10 亚比米勒又对亚伯拉罕说：“你见了什么才作这事呢？”
§21
*And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?
§22
* 创20:11 亚伯拉罕说：“我以为这地方的人总不惧怕上帝，必为我妻子的缘故杀我。
§23
*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.
§24
* 创20:12 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。
§25
*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.
§26
* 创20:13 当上帝叫我离开父家、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。’”
§27
*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.
§28
* 创20:14 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。
§29
*And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
§30
* 创20:15 亚比米勒又说：“看哪，我的地都在你面前，你可以随意居住”；
§31
*And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.
§32
* 创20:16 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。”
§33
*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.
§34
* 创20:17 亚伯拉罕祷告上帝，上帝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。
§35
*So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.
§36
* 创20:18 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。
§37
*For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
