Génesis 20
1 Abraham viajó desde allí hacia la tierra del Sur, y vivió entre Cades y Shur. Vivió como extranjero en Gerar.
And Abraham went on his way from there to the land of the South, and was living between Kadesh and Shur, in Gerar.
2 Abraham dijo de su esposa Sara: “Es mi hermana”. Abimelec, rey de Gerar, envió y tomó a Sara.
And Abraham said of Sarah, his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech, king of Gerar, sent and took Sarah.
3 Pero Dios vino a Abimelec en un sueño nocturno y le dijo: “He aquí que eres un hombre muerto a causa de la mujer que has tomado, porque es mujer de hombre.”
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.
4 Ahora bien, Abimelec no se había acercado a ella. Dijo: “Señor, ¿vas a matar incluso a una nación justa?
Now Abimelech had not come near her; and he said, Lord, will you put to death an upright nation?
5 ¿No me dijo: ‘Es mi hermana’? Ella, incluso ella misma, dijo: ‘Es mi hermano’. He hecho esto con la integridad de mi corazón y la inocencia de mis manos”.
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.
6 Dios le dijo en el sueño: “Sí, sé que en la integridad de tu corazón has hecho esto, y también te he impedido pecar contra mí. Por eso no te permití tocarla.
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.
7 Ahora, pues, restituye a ese hombre su mujer. Porque él es un profeta, y orará por ti, y vivirás. Si no la restituyes, ten por seguro que morirás, tú y todos los tuyos”.
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.
8 Abimelec se levantó de madrugada, llamó a todos sus siervos y les dijo todo esto al oído. Los hombres estaban muy asustados.
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.
9 Entonces Abimelec llamó a Abraham y le dijo: “¿Qué nos has hecho? ¿Cómo he pecado contra ti, que has traído sobre mí y sobre mi reino un gran pecado? Me has hecho obras que no debían hacerse”.
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.
10 Abimelec le dijo a Abraham: “¿Qué has visto para que hayas hecho esto?”
And Abimelech said to Abraham, Why did you do this thing?
11 Abraham dijo: “Porque pensé: ‘Seguramente el temor de Dios no está en este lugar. Me matarán por causa de mi mujer’.
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.
12 Además, ella es en verdad mi hermana, la hija de mi padre, pero no la hija de mi madre; y se convirtió en mi esposa.
And, in fact, she is my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife:
13 Cuando Dios hizo que me alejara de la casa de mi padre, le dije a ella: ‘Esta es la bondad que mostrarás conmigo. Dondequiera que vayamos, di de mí: “Es mi hermano”’”.
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.
14 Abimelec tomó ovejas y ganado, siervos y siervas, y se los dio a Abraham, y le devolvió a Sara, su esposa.
Then Abimelech gave to Abraham sheep and oxen and men-servants and women-servants, and gave him back his wife Sarah.
15 Abimelec dijo: “Mira, mi tierra está delante de ti. Habita donde te plazca”.
And Abimelech said, See, all my land is before you; take whatever place seems good to you.
16 A Sara le dijo: “He aquí que le he dado a tu hermano mil monedas de plata. He aquí que es para ti una cubierta de los ojos para todos los que están contigo. Delante de todos estás reivindicada”.
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.
17 Abraham oró a Dios. Entonces Dios sanó a Abimelec, a su esposa y a sus siervas, y éstas dieron a luz.
Then Abraham made prayer to God, and God made Abimelech well again, and his wife and his women-servants, so that they had children.
18 Porque Yahvé había cerrado bien todos los vientres de la casa de Abimelec, a causa de Sara, la mujer de Abraham.
For the Lord had kept all the women of the house of Abimelech from having children, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.
