Abraham’s Treachery | ||||
 NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 1 Now Abraham journeyed from there toward the land of the Negev, and settled between Kadesh and Shur; then he sojourned in Gerar. | 1 And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar. | 1 And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the land of the South, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur. And he sojourned in Gerar. | 1 Abraham removed from thence to the south country, and dwelt between Cedes and Sur, and sojourned in Gerara. | 1 And Abraham journeyeth from thence toward the land of the south, and dwelleth between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourneth in Gerar; | 2 Abraham said of Sarah his wife, "She is my sister." So Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah. | 2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah. | 2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister. And Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah. | 2 And he said of Sara his wife: She is my sister. So Abimelech the king of Oerara sent, and took her. | 2 and Abraham saith concerning Sarah his wife, 'She is my sister;' and Abimelech king of Gerar sendeth and taketh Sarah. | 3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, "Behold, you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken, for she is married." | 3 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. | 3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, because of the woman whom thou hast taken. For she is a man's wife. | 3 And God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and he said to him: Lo thou shalt die for the woman thou hast taken: for she hath a husband. | 3 And God cometh in unto Abimelech in a dream of the night, and saith to him, 'Lo, thou art a dead man, because of the woman whom thou hast taken -- and she married to a husband.' | 4 Now Abimelech had not come near her; and he said, "Lord, will You slay a nation, even though blameless? | 4 But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, LORD, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation? | 4 Now Abimelech had not come near her. And he said, Lord, wilt thou slay even a righteous nation? | 4 Now Abimelech had not touched her, and he said : Lord, wilt thou slay a nation, that is ignorant and justl | 4 And Abimelech hath not drawn near unto her, and he saith, 'Lord, also a righteous nation dost thou slay? | 5 "Did 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." | 5 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. | 5 Said he not himself unto me, She is my sister? And she, even she herself said, He is my brother. In the integrity of my heart and the innocency of my hands have I done this. | 5 Did not he say to me : She is my sister: and she say, He is my brother? in the simplicity of my heart, and cleanness of my hands have I done this. | 5 hath not he himself said to me, She is my sister! and she, even she herself, said, He is my brother; in the integrity of my heart, and in the innocency of my hands, I have done this.' | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 6 Then God said to him in the dream, "Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also kept you from sinning against Me; therefore I did not let you touch her. | 6 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. | 6 And God said unto him in the dream, Yea, I know that in the integrity of thy heart thou has done this, and I also withheld thee from sinning against me. Therefore suffered I thee not to touch her. | 6 And God said to him: And I know that thou didst it with a sincere heart: and therefore I withheld thee from sinning against me, and I suffered thee not to touch her. | 6 And God saith unto him in the dream, 'Yea, I -- I have known that in the integrity of thy heart thou hast done this, and I withhold thee, even I, from sinning against Me, therefore I have not suffered thee to come against her; | 7 "Now therefore, restore the man's wife, for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not restore her, know that you shall surely die, you and all who are yours." | 7 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. | 7 Now therefore restore the man's 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. | 7 Now therefore restore the man his wife, for he is a prophet: and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: but if thou wilt not restore her, know that thou shalt surely die, thou and all that are thins. | 7 and now send back the man's wife, for he is inspired, and he doth pray for thee, and live thou; and if thou do not send back, know that dying thou dost die, thou, and all that thou hast.' | 8 So Abimelech arose early in the morning and called all his servants and told all these things in their hearing; and the men were greatly frightened. | 8 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. | 8 And Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ear. And the men were sore afraid. | 8 And Abimelech forthwith rising up in the night, called all his servants: and spoke all these words in their hearing, and all the men were exceedingly afraid. | 8 And Abimelech riseth early in the morning, and calleth for all his servants, and speaketh all these words in their ears; and the men fear exceedingly; | 9 Then 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 on my kingdom a great sin? You have done to me things that ought not to be done." | 9 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. | 9 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? And wherein have I sinned against 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. | 9 And Abimelech called also for Abraham, and said to him: What hast thou done to us? what have we offended thee in, that thou hast brought upon me and upon my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done to us what thou oughtest not to do. | 9 and Abimelech calleth for Abraham, and saith to him, 'What hast thou done to us? and what have I sinned against thee, that thou hast brought upon me, and upon my kingdom, a great sin? works which are not done thou hast done with me.' | 10 And Abimelech said to Abraham, "What have you encountered, that you have done this thing?" | 10 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing? | 10 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing? | 10 And again he expostulated with him, and said, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this? | 10 Abimelech also saith unto Abraham, 'What hast thou seen that thou hast done this thing?' | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 11 Abraham said, "Because I thought, surely there is no fear of God in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife. | 11 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. | 11 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. | 11 Abraham answered: I thought with myself, saying: Perhaps there is not the fear of God in this place: and they will kill me for the sake of my wife: | 11 And Abraham saith, 'Because I said, 'Surely the fear of God is not in this place, and they have slain me for the sake of my wife; | 12 "Besides, she actually is my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother, and she became my wife; | 12 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. | 12 And moreover she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife: | 12 Howbeit, otherwise also she is truly my sister, the daughter of my father, and not the daughter of my mother, and I took her to wife. | 12 and also, truly she is my sister, daughter of my father, only not daughter of my mother, and she becometh my wife; | 13 and it came about, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said to her, 'This is the kindness which you will show to me: everywhere we go, say of me, "He is my brother."'" | 13 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 show unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother. | 13 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 show unto me. At every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother. | 13 And after God brought me out of my father's house, I said to her: I Thou shalt do me this kindness: In every place, to which we shall come, thou shalt say that I am thy brother. | 13 and it cometh to pass, when God hath caused me to wander from my father's house, that I say to her, This is thy kindness which thou dost with me: at every place whither we come, say of me, He is my brother.' | 14 Abimelech then took sheep and oxen and male and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored his wife Sarah to him. | 14 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife. | 14 And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and men-servants and women-servants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife. | 14 And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and servants and handmaids, and gave to Abraham: and restored to him Sara, his wife. | 14 And Abimelech taketh sheep and oxen, and servants and handmaids, and giveth to Abraham, and sendeth back to him Sarah his wife; | 15 Abimelech said, "Behold, my land is before you; settle wherever you please." | 15 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee. | 15 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee. Dwell where it pleaseth thee. | 15 And said: The land is before you, dwell wheresoever it shall please thee. | 15 and Abimelech saith, 'Lo, my land is before thee, where it is good in thine eyes, dwell;' | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 16 To Sarah he said, "Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver; behold, it is your vindication before all who are with you, and before all men you are cleared." | 16 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. | 16 And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver. Behold, it is for thee a covering of the eyes to all that are with thee. And in respect of all thou art righted. | 16 And to Sara he said: Behold I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: this shall serve thee for a covering of thy eyes to all that are with thee, and whithersoever thou shalt go: and remember thou wast taken. | 16 and to Sarah he hath said, 'Lo, I have given a thousand silverlings to thy brother; lo, it is to thee a covering of eyes, to all who are with thee;' and by all this she is reasoned with. | 17 Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech and his wife and his maids, so that they bore children. | 17 So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children. | 17 And Abraham prayed unto God. And God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maid-servants. And they bare children. | 17 And when Abraham prayed, God healed Abimelech and his wife, and his handmaids, and they bore children: | 17 And Abraham prayeth unto God, and God healeth Abimelech and his wife, and his handmaids, and they bear: | 18 For the LORD had closed fast all the wombs of the household of Abimelech because of Sarah, Abraham's wife. | 18 For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife. | 18 For Jehovah had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife. | 18 For the Lord had closed up every womb of the house of Abimelech on ac- count of Sara, Abraham's wife. | 18 for Jehovah restraining had restrained every womb of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife. |
