学习

   

1 At mula roon ay naglakbay si Abraham sa dakong lupain ng Timugan, at tumahan sa pagitan ng Cades at Shur; at siya'y nakipamayan sa Gerar.

2 At sinabi ni Abraham tungkol kay Sara na kaniyang asawa, Siya'y aking kapatid; at si Abimelech na hari sa Gerar, ay nagsugo at kinuha si Sara.

3 Datapuwa't naparoon ang Dios kay Abimelech sa panaginip sa gabi, at sa kaniya'y sinabi, Narito, ikaw ay dili iba't isang patay dahil sa babaing iyong kinuha; sapagka't siya'y asawa ng isang lalake.

4 Nguni't si Abimelech ay hindi pa, nakasisiping sa kaniya: at nagsabi, Panginoon, papatayin mo ba pati ng isang bansang banal?

5 Hindi ba siya rin ang nagsabi sa akin, Siya'y aking kapatid? at si Sara man ay nagsabi, Siya'y aking kapatid; sa katapatang loob ng aking puso, at kawalang sala ng aking mga kamay, ay ginawa ko ito.

6 At sinabi sa kaniya ng Dios sa panaginip: Oo, talastas ko, na sa katapatang loob ng iyong puso ay ginawa mo ito, at hinadlangan din naman kita sa pagkakasala ng laban sa akin: kaya't hindi ko ipinahintulot sa iyong galawin mo siya.

7 Ngayon nga'y isauli mo ang asawa ng lalaking ito; sapagka't siya'y profeta, at ikaw ay ipananalangin niya, at mabubuhay ka: at kung di mo siya isauli, ay talastasin mong walang pagsalang mamamatay ka, ikaw at ang lahat ng iyo.

8 At si Abimelech ay bumangong maaga ng kinaumagahan at tinawag ang lahat niyang bataan, at sinabi sa kanilang pakinig ang lahat ng bagay na ito: at ang mga tao'y natakot na mainam.

9 Nang magkagayo'y tinawag ni Abimelech si Abraham, at sa kaniya'y sinabi, Anong ginawa mo sa amin? at sa ano ako nagkasala laban sa iyo, na dinalhan mo ako at ang aking kaharian ng isang malaking kasalanan? Ginawan mo ako ng mga gawang di marapat gawin.

10 At sinabi ni Abimelech kay Abraham, Anong nakita mo na ginawa mo ang bagay na ito?

11 At sinabi ni Abraham, Sapagka't inisip ko. Tunay na walang takot sa Dios sa dakong ito: at papatayin nila ako dahil sa aking asawa.

12 At saka talagang siya'y kapatid ko, na anak ng aking ama, datapuwa't hindi anak ng aking ina; at siya'y naging asawa ko:

13 At nangyari, na nang ako'y palayasin ng Dios sa bahay ng aking ama, na sinabi ko sa kaniya, Ito ang magandang kalooban mo na maipakikita sa akin; sa lahat ng dakong ating datnin, ay sabihin mo tungkol sa akin, Siya'y aking kapatid.

14 At si Abimelech ay kumuha ng mga tupa at mga baka, at mga aliping lalake at babae, at ipinagbibigay kay Abraham, at isinauli sa kaniya si Sara na kaniyang asawa.

15 At sinabi ni Abimelech, Narito ang lupain ko ay nasa harapan mo: tumahan ka kung saan mo magalingin.

16 At kay Sara'y sinabi niya, Narito, nagbigay ako ng isang libong putol na pilak sa iyong kapatid: narito, ito sa iyo'y piring sa mga mata ng lahat ng kasama mo; at sa harap ng lahat ay nagbangong puri ka.

17 At nanalangin si Abraham sa Dios; at pinagaling ng Dios si Abimelech, at ang kaniyang asawa, at ang kaniyang mga aliping babae, na ano pa't nagkaanak sila.

18 Sapagka't sinarhang lubos ng Panginoon ang lahat ng bahay-bata sa bahay ni Abimelech, dahil kay Sara, na asawa ni Abraham.

2496. Genesis 20

1. And Abraham travelled from there towards the land of the south, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur; and he sojourned in Gerar.

2. And Abraham said of 1 Sarah his wife, She is my sister; and Abimelech King of Gerar sent and took Sarah.

3. And God came to Abimelech in a dream in the night, and said to him, Behold, you will die because of the woman whom you have taken, for she is married to a husband.

4. And Abimelech had not come near her, and he said, Lord, will You kill even a righteous nation?

5. Did he not say to me, She is my sister? And she herself also said, He is my brother. In the uprightness of my heart and in the blamelessness of my hands have I done this.

6. And God said to him in the dream, Yes, I know that in the uprightness of your heart you have done this, and I also withheld you from sinning against Me; therefore I did not allow you to touch her.

7. And now return the man's wife, for he is a prophet, and will pray for you, and you will live. And if you do not return her, know that you will certainly die, you and everyone who is yours.

8. And in the morning Abimelech rose up early and called all his servants and spoke all these words in their ears; and the men were very much afraid.

9. And Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, What have you done to us, and what sin have I committed against you, that you have brought great sin on me and on my kingdom? Deeds which ought not to be done you have done to me.

10. And Abimelech said to Abraham, What did you see, that you have done this thing?

11. And Abraham said, Because I said, Surely there is no fear of God in this place, and they will kill me on account of my wife.

12. And also she is truly my sister, my father's daughter but not my mother's daughter; and she became my wife.

13. And it happened, when God caused 2 me to depart from my father's house, that I said to her, This is your kindness which you may do for me: at every place we come to, say for me, He is my brother.

14. And Abimelech took flocks and herds, and men servants and women servants, and gave to Abraham; and he restored to him Sarah his wife.

15. And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before you; dwell in that which is good in your eyes.

16. And to Sarah he said, Behold, I have given a thousand-pieces of silver to your brother; behold, it is for you a covering of the eyes for all who are with you, and with all; and she was vindicated.

17. And Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech and his wife, and his women servants, and they gave birth.

18. For Jehovah had completely closed every womb of Abimelech's house because of the matter of Sarah, Abraham's wife.

CONTENTS

In Chapter 12 above the subject was Abraham's sojourn in Egypt, which meant the instruction that the Lord received in factual knowledge when He was still a boy. In the present chapter the subject is Abraham's sojourn in Gerar, where Abimelech was. This sojourning in a similar way means instruction received by the Lord, but now it is in matters of doctrine regarding charity and faith. Dealt with in particular here is the origin of the doctrine of charity and faith; that is to say, that this doctrine is spiritual deriving from a celestial origin but is not from the rational.

脚注:

1. The Latin preposition here (ad), like the Hebrew ('el) which it translates, usually means to or towards.

2. This verb is plural; see 2559.
