Good News Translation w/ Apocrypha GNTA
New International Version NIV
11 Abraham answered, "I thought that there would be no one here who has reverence for God and that they would kill me to get my wife.
11
Abraham replied, “I said to myself, ‘There is surely no fear of God in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.’
12 She really is my sister. She is the daughter of my father, but not of my mother, and I married her.
12
Besides, she really is my sister, the daughter of my father though not of my mother; and she became my wife.
13 So when God sent me from my father's house into foreign lands, I said to her, "You can show how loyal you are to me by telling everyone that I am your brother.' "
13
And when God had me wander from my father’s household, I said to her, ‘This is how you can show your love to me: Everywhere we go, say of me, “He is my brother.” ’ ”
14 Then Abimelech gave Sarah back to Abraham, and at the same time he gave him sheep, cattle, and slaves.
14
Then Abimelek brought sheep and cattle and male and female slaves and gave them to Abraham, and he returned Sarah his wife to him.
15 He said to Abraham, "Here is my whole land; live anywhere you like."
15
And Abimelek said, “My land is before you; live wherever you like.”
16 He said to Sarah, "I am giving your brother a thousand pieces of silver as proof to all who are with you that you are innocent; everyone will know that you have done no wrong."
16
To Sarah he said, “I am giving your brother a thousand shekels of silver. This is to cover the offense against you before all who are with you; you are completely vindicated.”
17 Because of what had happened to Sarah, Abraham's wife, the Lord had made it impossible for any woman in Abimelech's palace to have children. So Abraham prayed for Abimelech, and God healed him. He also healed his wife and his slave women, so that they could have children.
17
Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelek, his wife and his female slaves so they could have children again,
