Genesis 20

profectus inde Abraham in terram australem habitavit inter Cades et Sur et peregrinatus est in Geraris

And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.

dixitque de Sarra uxore sua soror mea est misit ergo Abimelech rex Gerarae et tulit eam

And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.

venit autem Deus ad Abimelech per somnium noctis et ait ei en morieris propter mulierem quam tulisti habet enim virum

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.

Abimelech vero non tetigerat eam et ait Domine num gentem ignorantem et iustam interficies

But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?

nonne ipse dixit mihi soror mea est et ipsa ait frater meus est in simplicitate cordis mei et munditia manuum mearum feci hoc

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.

dixitque ad eum Deus et ego scio quod simplici corde feceris et ideo custodivi te ne peccares in me et non dimisi ut tangeres eam

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.

nunc igitur redde uxorem viro suo quia propheta est et orabit pro te et vives si autem nolueris reddere scito quod morte morieris tu et omnia quae tua sunt

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.

statimque de nocte consurgens Abimelech vocavit omnes servos suos et locutus est universa verba haec in auribus eorum timueruntque omnes viri valde

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.

vocavit autem Abimelech etiam Abraham et dixit ei quid fecisti nobis quid peccavimus in te quia induxisti super me et super regnum meum peccatum grande quae non debuisti facere fecisti nobis

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.

rursusque expostulans ait quid vidisti ut hoc faceres

And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?

respondit Abraham cogitavi mecum dicens forsitan non est timor Dei in loco isto et interficient me propter uxorem meam

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.

alias autem et vere soror mea est filia patris mei et non filia matris meae et duxi eam uxorem

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.

postquam autem eduxit me Deus de domo patris mei dixi ad eam hanc misericordiam facies mecum in omni loco ad quem ingrediemur dices quod frater tuus sim

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.

tulit igitur Abimelech oves et boves et servos et ancillas et dedit Abraham reddiditque illi Sarram uxorem suam

And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.

et ait terra coram vobis est ubicumque tibi placuerit habita

And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.

Sarrae autem dixit ecce mille argenteos dedi fratri tuo hoc erit tibi in velamen oculorum ad omnes qui tecum sunt et quocumque perrexeris mementoque te deprehensam

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.

orante autem Abraham sanavit Deus Abimelech et uxorem ancillasque eius et pepererunt

So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.

concluserat enim Deus omnem vulvam domus Abimelech propter Sarram uxorem Abraham

For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
