Genesis 20
1 And Abraham went on his way from there to the land of the South, and was living between Kadesh and Shur, 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 in the night, and said to him, Truly you are a dead man because of the woman whom you 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 you put to death an upright nation?
Mas Abimelec no había llegado a ella, y dijo: Señor: ¿matarás también la gente justa?
5 Did he not say to me himself, She is my sister? and she herself said, He is my brother: with an upright heart and clean hands have I 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, I see that you have done this with an upright heart, and I have kept you from sinning against me: for this reason I did not let you come near 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 So now, give the man back his wife, for he is a prophet, and let him say a prayer for you, so your life may be safe: but if you do not give her back, be certain that death will come to you and all your house.
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 So Abimelech got up early in the morning and sent for all his servants and gave them word of these things, and they were full of fear.
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 sent for Abraham, and said, What have you done to us? what wrong have I done you that you have put on me and on my kingdom so great a sin? You have done to me things which are 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, Why did you do this thing?
Y dijo más Abimelec a Abraham: ¿Qué viste, para que hicieses esto?
11 And Abraham said, Because it seemed to me that there was no fear of God in this place, and that they might put me to death 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, in fact, she is 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 when God sent me wandering from my father's house, I said to her, Let this be the sign of your love for me; wherever we go, 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 Then Abimelech gave to Abraham sheep and oxen and men-servants and women-servants, and gave him back his wife Sarah.
Entonces Abimelec tomó ovejas y vacas, y siervos, y siervas, y dio a Abraham, y volvióle a Sara su mujer:
15 And Abimelech said, See, all my land is before you; take whatever place seems good to you.
Y dijo Abimelec: He aquí, mi tierra está delante de ti, en lo que bien te pareciere, habita.
16 And he said to Sarah, See, I have given to your brother a thousand bits of silver so that your wrong may be put right; now your honour is clear in the eyes of all.
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 Then Abraham made prayer to God, and God made Abimelech well again, and his wife and his women-servants, so that they had children.
Entonces Abraham oró a Dios, y Dios sanó a Abimelec y a su mujer, y a sus siervas, y parieron.
18 For the Lord had kept all the women of the house of Abimelech from having children, 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.
