Genesis 20

1 And Abraam removed thence to the southern country, and lived between Cades and Sur, and sojourned in Gerara.

Y partió Abraham de allí a la tierra del sur, y estaba viviendo entre Cades y Sur, en Gerar.

2 And Abraam said concerning Sarrha his wife, She is my sister, for he feared to say, She is my wife, lest at any time the men of the city should kill him for her sake. So Abimelech king of Gerara sent and took Sarrha.

Y Abraham dijo de Sara, su mujer, que ella es mi hermana; y envió Abimelec rey de Gerar, y tomó a Sara.

3 And God came to Abimelech by night in sleep, and said, Behold, you die for the woman, whom you have taken, whereas she has lived with a husband.

Pero Dios vino a Abimelec en sueños en la noche, y le dijo: Verdaderamente eres hombre muerto a causa de la mujer que has tomado; porque ella es la esposa de un hombre.

4 But Abimelech had not touched her, and he said, Lord, will you destroy an ignorantly [sinning] and just nation?

Y Abimelec no se había acercado a ella; y él dijo: Señor, ¿matarás a una nación recta?

5 Said he not to me, She is my sister, and said she not to me, He is my brother? with a pure heart and in the righteousness of my hands have I done this.

¿No me dijo él mismo, ella es mi hermana? y ella misma dijo: Él es mi hermano: con un corazón recto y manos limpias he hecho esto.

6 And God said to him in sleep, Yes, I knew that you did this with a pure heart, and I spared you, so that you should not sin against me, therefore I suffered you not to touch her.

Y Dios le dijo en sueños: Veo que has hecho esto con rectitud de corazón, y yo te he guardado de pecar contra mí; por eso no dejé que te acercaras a ella.

7 But now return the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and shall pray for you, and you shall live; but if you restore her not, know that you shall die and all your.

Así que ahora, devuelve al hombre a su esposa, porque él es un profeta, y orará por ti, para que tu vida esté a salvo; pero si no la devuelves, asegúrate de que la muerte viene a ti y a toda tu casa.

8 And Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and he spoke all these words in their ears, and all the men feared exceedingly.

Entonces Abimelec se levantó temprano en la mañana, y envió en busca de todos sus siervos, y les dio aviso de estas cosas, y estaban llenos de temor.

9 And Abimelech called Abraam and said to him, What is this that you have done to us? Have we sinned against you, that you have brought upon me and upon my kingdom a great sin? You have done to me a deed, which no one ought to do.

Entonces Abimelec envió a llamar a Abraham, y le dijo: ¿Qué nos has hecho? ¿Qué mal te he hecho que me has puesto sobre mí y sobre mi reino, un pecado tan grande? Me has hecho cosas que no se deben hacer.

10 And Abimelech said to Abraam, What have you seen in [me] that you have done this?

Entonces Abimelec dijo a Abraham: ¿Por qué hiciste esto?

11 And Abraam said, Why I said, Surely there is not the worship of God in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.

Y Abraham dijo: Porque me parecía que no había temor de Dios en este lugar, y que podían matarme por mi esposa.

12 For truly she is my sister by my father, but not by my mother, and she became my wife.

Y, de hecho, ella es mi hermana, la hija de mi padre, pero no la hija de mi madre; y ella se convirtió en mi esposa:

13 And it came to pass when God brought me forth out of the house of my father, that I said to her, This righteousness you shall perform to me, in every place into which we may enter, say of me, He is my brother.

Y cuando Dios me envió errante desde la casa de mi padre, le dije: Deja que esta sea la señal de tu amor por mí; Donde quiera que vayamos, decir de mí, Él es mi hermano.

14 And Abimelech took a thousand pieces of silver, and sheep, and calves, and servants, and maidservants, and gave them to Abraam, and he returned him Sarrha his wife.

Entonces Abimelec dio a Abraham ovejas y vacas, y siervos y siervas, y le devolvió a su mujer Sara.

15 And Abimelech said to Abraam, Behold, my land is before you, dwell wherever it may please you.

Y dijo Abimelec: Mira, toda mi tierra está delante de ti; toma el lugar que te parezca mejor.

16 And to Sarrha he said, Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver, those shall be to you for the price of your countenance, and to all the women with you, and speak the truth in all things.

Y él dijo a Sara: He aquí, he dado a tu hermano mil piezas de plata para defender tu buena fama; ahora tu honor es claro a los ojos de todos.

17 And Abraam prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his women servants, and they bore children.

Entonces Abraham oró a Dios, y Dios hizo sanó a Abimelec, a su mujer y a sus siervas, y tuvieron hijos.

18 Because the Lord had fast closed from without every womb in the house of Abimelech, because of Sarrha Abraam's wife.

Porque el Señor había impedido que todas las mujeres de la casa de Abimelec tuvieran hijos, por causa de Sara, la mujer de Abraham.
