創世記 20
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1亞伯拉罕 從那裏向南地遷去，寄居在 加低斯 和 書珥 中間的 基拉耳 。
1Now Abraham journeyed from there to the region of the Negev and settled between Kadesh and Shur. While he was staying in Gerar,
2亞伯拉罕 稱他的妻 撒拉 為妹子， 基拉耳 王 亞比米勒 差人把 撒拉 取了去。
2Abraham said of his wife Sarah, “She is my sister.” So Abimelech king of Gerar had Sarah brought to him.
3但夜間，上帝來，在夢中對 亞比米勒 說：「你是個死人哪！因為你取了那女人來；她原是別人的妻子。」
3One night, however, God came to Abimelech in a dream and told him, “You are as good as dead because of the woman you have taken, for she is a married woman.”
4亞比米勒 卻還沒有親近 撒拉 ；他說：「主啊，連有義的國，你也要毀滅嗎？
4Now Abimelech had not gone near her, so he replied, “Lord, would You destroy a nation even though it is innocent?
5那人豈不是自己對我說『她是我的妹子』嗎？就是女人也自己說：『他是我的哥哥。』我做這事是心正手潔的。」
5Didn’t Abraham tell me, ‘She is my sister’? And she herself said, ‘He is my brother.’ I have done this in the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands.”
6上帝在夢中對他說：「我知道你做這事是心中正直；我也攔阻了你，免得你得罪我，所以我不容你沾着她。
6Then God said to Abimelech in the dream, “Yes, I know that you did this with a clear conscience, and so I have kept you from sinning against Me. That is why I did not let you touch her.
7現在你把這人的妻子歸還他；因為他是先知，他要為你禱告，使你存活。你若不歸還他，你當知道，你和你所有的人都必要死。」
7Now return the man’s wife, for he is a prophet; he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not restore her, be aware that you will surely die—you and all who belong to you.”
8亞比米勒 清早起來，召了眾臣僕來，將這些事都說給他們聽，他們都甚懼怕。
8Early the next morning Abimelech got up and summoned all his servants; and when he described to them all that had happened, the men were terrified.
9亞比米勒 召了 亞伯拉罕 來，對他說：「你怎麼向我這樣行呢？我在甚麼事上得罪了你，你竟使我和我國裏的人陷在大罪裏？你向我行不當行的事了！」
9Then Abimelech called Abraham and asked, “What have you done to us? How have I sinned against you, that you have brought such tremendous guilt upon me and my kingdom? You have done things to me that should not be done.”
10亞比米勒 又對 亞伯拉罕 說：「你見了甚麼才做這事呢？」
10Abimelech also asked Abraham, “What prompted you to do such a thing?”
11亞伯拉罕 說：「我以為這地方的人總不懼怕上帝，必為我妻子的緣故殺我。
11Abraham replied, “I thought to myself, ‘Surely there is no fear of God in this place. They will kill me on account of my wife.’
12況且她也實在是我的妹子；她與我是同父異母，後來作了我的妻子。
12Besides, she really is my sister, the daughter of my father—though not the daughter of my mother—and she became my wife.
13當上帝叫我離開父家、飄流在外的時候，我對她說：『我們無論走到甚麼地方，你可以對人說：他是我的哥哥；這就是你待我的恩典了。』」
13So when God had me journey from my father’s house, I said to Sarah, ‘This is how you can show your loyalty to me: Wherever we go, say of me, “He is my brother.”’”
14亞比米勒 把牛、羊、僕婢賜給 亞伯拉罕 ，又把他的妻子 撒拉 歸還他。
14So Abimelech brought sheep and cattle, menservants and maidservants, and he gave them to Abraham and restored his wife Sarah to him.
15亞比米勒 又說：「看哪，我的地都在你面前，你可以隨意居住」；
15And Abimelech said, “Look, my land is before you. Settle wherever you please.”
16又對 撒拉 說：「我給你哥哥一千銀子，作為你在閤家人面前遮羞的，你就在眾人面前沒有不是了。」
16And he said to Sarah, “See, I am giving your brother a thousand pieces of silver. It is your vindication before all who are with you; you are completely cleared.”
17亞伯拉罕 禱告上帝，上帝就醫好了 亞比米勒 和他的妻子，並他的眾女僕，她們便能生育。
17Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech and his wife and his maidservants, so that they could again bear children—
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 家中的婦人不能生育。
18for on account of Abraham’s wife Sarah, the LORD had completely closed all the wombs in Abimelech’s household.
