Genesis 20

1 And Abraham journeyed from there toward the land of the South, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur. And he sojourned in Gerar.

De allí se partió Abraham a la tierra del mediodía, y asentó entre Cádes y Sur; y peregrinó en Gerar.

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

Y decía Abraham de Sara su mujer: Mi hermana es. Y Abimelec, rey de Gerar, envió, y tomó a Sara.

3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, Behold, thou are but a dead man, because of the woman whom thou have taken, for she is a man's wife.

Empero Dios vino a Abimelec en sueños de noche, y díjole: He aquí, muerto eres por la mujer que tomaste, la cual es casada con marido.

4 Now Abimelech had not come near her. And he said, Lord, will thou slay even a righteous nation?

Mas Abimelec no había llegado a ella, y dijo: Señor: ¿matarás también la gente justa?

5 Did he not himself say to me, She is my sister? And she, even she herself said, He is my brother. In the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands I have done this.

¿El no me dijo: Mi hermana es; y ella también dijo: Mi hermano es? Con sencillez de mi corazón, y con limpieza de mis manos he hecho esto.

6 And God said to him in the dream, Yes, I know that in the integrity of thy heart thou have done this. And I also withheld thee from sinning against me. Therefore I did not allow thee to touch her.

Y díjole Dios en sueños: Yo también sé que con entereza de tu corazón has hecho esto: y yo también te detuve de pecar contra mí, por tanto no te permití que tocases en ella.

7 Now therefore restore the man's wife. For he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shall live. And if thou do not restore her, know thou that thou shall surely die, thou, and all that are thine.

Ahora, pues, vuelve la mujer a su marido, porque es profeta; y orará por ti, y vive. Y si tú no la volvieres, sepas que muriendo morirás con todo lo que fuere tuyo.

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 exceedingly afraid.

Entonces Abimelec se levantó de mañana, y llamó a todos sus siervos, y dijo todas estas palabras en los oídos de ellos, y temieron los hombres en gran manera.

9 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him, What have thou done to us? And in what have I sinned against thee, that thou have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? Thou have done deeds to me that ought not to be done.

Después llamó Abimelec a Abraham, y díjole: ¿Qué nos has hecho? ¿y qué pequé yo contra ti, que has metido sobre mí, y sobre mi reino tan gran pecado? Obras que no son de hacer has hecho conmigo.

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

Y dijo más Abimelec a Abraham: ¿Qué viste, para que hicieses esto?

11 And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.

Y Abraham respondió: Porque dije: Cierto no hay temor de Dios en este lugar: y matarme han por causa de mi mujer.

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.

Y también cierto mi hermana es, hija de mi padre, mas no hija de mi madre, y toméla por mujer.

13 And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said to her, This is thy kindness which thou shall show to me. At every place where we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.

Y fue, que cuando Dios me hizo salir vagabundo de la casa de mi padre, yo le dije: Esta será tu misericordia que harás conmigo, que en todos los lugares donde viniéremos, digas de mí, Mi hermano es.

14 And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and men-servants and women-servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored to him Sarah his wife.

Entonces Abimelec tomó ovejas y vacas, y siervos, y siervas, y dio a Abraham, y volvióle a Sara su mujer:

15 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee. Dwell where it pleases thee.

Y dijo Abimelec: He aquí, mi tierra está delante de ti, en lo que bien te pareciere, habita.

16 And to 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 who are with thee. And in regard to all thou are righted.

Y a Sara dijo: He aquí, he dado mil pesos de plata a tu hermano; he aquí, él te es por velo de ojos a todos los que estuvieron contigo, y con todos: y escarmienta.

17 And Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maid-servants. And they bore sons.

Entonces Abraham oró a Dios, y Dios sanó a Abimelec y a su mujer, y a sus siervas, y parieron.

18 For Jehovah had closed up fast all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.

Porque cerrando había cerrado Jehová toda matriz de la casa de Abimelec, a causa de Sara mujer de Abraham.
