1.5 KiB
He told all these things to them
"He told them everything that God had told him"
What have you done to us?
Abimelech used this rhetorical question to accuse Abraham. AT: "You have done something bad to us!" or "Look what you have done to us!" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
to us
The word "us" here is exclusive and does not include Abraham and Sarah. If your language uses an exclusive form of "we" or "us," use it here. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-exclusive)
How have I sinned against you, that you have brought ... sin?
Abimelech used this rhetorical question to remind Abraham that he had not sinned against Abraham. AT: "I have done nothing against you to cause you to bring ... sin." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin
To cause someone to be guilty of sinning is spoken of as if "sin" was a thing that could be placed on a person. AT: "that you should make me and my kingdom guilty of such a terrible sin" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
on my kingdom
Here "kingdom" stands for the people. AT: "on the people of my kingdom" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
You have done to me that which ought not to be done
"You should not have done this to me"
