Genesis 20

Si Abraham ug si Abimelec

1Mibiya sila si Abraham sa Mamre ug miadto sa Negev. Mipuyo sila sa tunga-tunga sa Kadesh ug Shur ug unya mibalhin sila sa Gerar. 2Samtang didto sila, gipaila ni Abraham si Sara sa mga tawo ingon nga iyang igsoon. Busa gipakuha ni Abimelec nga hari sa Gerar si Sara.

3Usa ka gabii, nagpakita ang Dios kang Abimelec pinaagi sa usa ka damgo. Miingon siya, “Mamatay ka, kay ang babaye nga imong gikuha adunay bana.”

4Apan tungod kay wala pa mahilabti ni Abimelec si Sara, miingon siya, “Ginoo, patyon mo ba diay ang mga tawong inosente? Wala akoy sala. 5Miingon si Abraham nga igsoon niya si Sara ug si Sara miingon usab nga igsoon niya si Abraham. Inosente gayod ako niining mga butanga, busa nagtuo ako nga dili daotan ang akong gibuhat.”

6Mitubag ang Dios, “Oo, nasayod ako nga wala kay daotang tinguha, busa wala ako motugot nga mahilabtan mo siya aron dili ka makasala kanako. 7Apan kinahanglan ibalik mo siya sa iyang bana tungod kay ang iyang bana usa ka propeta, ug ampoan ka niya aron dili ka mamatay. Apan kon dili mo siya ibalik, pasidan-an ka nako nga daan nga mamatay ka gayod apil ang tanan mong mga katawhan.”

8Sayo pa kaayo pagkasunod adlaw, gipatawag ni Abimelec ang tanan niyang mga opisyal ug gisuginlan mahitungod sa iyang damgo. Nahadlok sila pag-ayo. 9Unya gipatawag ni Abimelec si Abraham ug gipangutana, “Unsa kining gibuhat mo kanamo? Unsay akong sala kanimo nga gibutang mo man kanako ug sa tibuok kong gingharian kining labihan kadako nga sala? Dili maayo ang imong gibuhat. 10Nganong gibuhat mo man kini?”

11Mitubag si Abraham, “Abi ko ug wala na gayoy nagtahod sa Dios niining dapita, ug nakahuna-huna ako nga basin ug patyon ninyo ako aron makuha ninyo ang akong asawa. 12Tinuod man pud nga managsoon kami, apan sa amahan lang ug dili sa inahan, ug gipangasawa ko siya. 13Sa dihang giingnan ako sa Dios nga mobiya sa panimalay sa akong amahan, gisultihan ko si Sara nga ipaila ako nga iyang igsoon bisan asa kami paingon. Niining paagiha mapakita niya ang iyang paghigugma kanako.”

14Gibalik ni Abimelec si Sara kang Abraham, ug gihatagan pa niya si Abraham ug mga karnero, baka, ug mga ulipon nga babaye ug lalaki. 15Unya miingon siya kang Abraham, “Tan-awa! Ania ang akong yuta. Pagpili kamo ug dapit nga gusto ninyong puy-an.”

16Miingon usab siya kang Sara, “Hatagan ko ang imong igsoon ug 1,000 pirasong pilak aron pagmatuod sa tanan ninyong kauban nga wala ka nako mahilabti ug nga wala ka nakahimo ug daotan.”

17-18Tungod sa pagkuha ni Abimelec kang Sara, gihimo sa Ginoo nga baog ang tanang mga babaye sa panimalay ni Abimelec. Busa nag-ampo si Abraham sa Dios, ug giayo sa Dios ang asawa ni Abimelec ug ang iyang mga ulipon nga babaye aron makaanak sila. Giayo usab sa Dios si Abimelec sa samang balatian.

Genesis 20

Abraham and Abimelech

1From there Abraham journeyed toward the territory of the Negeb and lived between #ch. 16:7, 14Kadesh and Shur; and he #ch. 26:3sojourned in #ch. 26:6Gerar. 2And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, #See ch. 12:13-20; 26:7-11“She is my sister.” And Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah. 3#Ps. 105:14But God came to Abimelech #Job 33:15, 16; Matt. 1:20; 2:12in a dream by night and said to him, “Behold, you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken, for she is a man’s wife.” 4Now Abimelech had not approached her. So he said, #ch. 18:23; [1 Chr. 21:17]“Lord, will you kill an innocent people? 5Did he not himself say to me, ‘She is my sister’? And she herself said, ‘He is my brother.’ In the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands I have done this.” 6Then God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know that you have done this in the integrity of your heart, and it was I who kept you from sinning #ch. 39:9; Ps. 51:4against me. Therefore I did not let you touch her. 7Now then, return the man’s wife, #1 Sam. 7:5; Job 42:8for he is a prophet, so that he will pray for you, and you shall live. But if you do not return her, know that you shall surely die, you #[Num. 16:32, 33]and all who are yours.”

8So Abimelech rose early in the morning and called all his servants and told them all these things. And the men were very much afraid. 9Then Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, “What have you done to us? And how have I sinned against you, that you have brought on me and my kingdom a great sin? You have done to me things that ought not to be done.” 10And Abimelech said to Abraham, “What did you see, that you did this thing?” 11Abraham said, “I did it because I thought, #Prov. 16:6‘There is no fear of God at all in this place, and #ch. 12:12; 26:7they will kill me because of my wife.’ 12Besides, #[ch. 11:29]she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father though not the daughter of my mother, and she became my wife. 13And when #ch. 12:1God caused me to wander from my father’s house, I said to her, ‘This is the kindness you must do me: at every place to which we come, #ch. 12:13say of me, “He is my brother.”’”

14Then Abimelech #ch. 12:16took sheep and oxen, and male servants and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and returned Sarah his wife to him. 15And Abimelech said, “Behold, #ch. 13:9; 34:10my land is before you; dwell where it pleases you.” 16To Sarah he said, “Behold, I have given #[ver. 5] your brother a thousand pieces of silver. It is #[ch. 24:65]a sign of your innocence in the eyes of all#20:16 Hebrew It is a covering of eyes for all who are with you, and before everyone you are vindicated.” 17Then #[James 5:16]Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and also healed his wife and female slaves so that they bore children. 18For the Lord #[ch. 12:17]had closed all the wombs of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah, Abraham’s wife.
