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 journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned 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 by night, and said to him, Behold, you are but a dead man, for the woman which 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?

But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, LORD, will you slay also a righteous 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”.

Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocence of my 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 unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that you did this in the integrity of your heart; for I also withheld you from sinning against me: therefore suffered I you not to touch 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”.

Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for you, and you shall live: and if you restore her not, know you that you shall surely die, you, and all that are yours.

8 Abimelec se levantó de madrugada, llamó a todos sus siervos y les dijo todo esto al oído. Los hombres estaban muy asustados.

Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid.

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 called Abraham, and said unto him, What have you done unto us? and what have I offended you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? you have done deeds unto me that ought not to be done.

10 Abimelec le dijo a Abraham: “¿Qué has visto para que hayas hecho esto?”

And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What saw you, that you have done 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 I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake.

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 yet indeed she is my sister; she is 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 it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said unto her, This is your kindness which you shall show unto me; at every place where we shall come, 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.

And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and male servants, and female servants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.

15 Abimelec dijo: “Mira, mi tierra está delante de ti. Habita donde te plazca”.

And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before you: dwell where it pleases 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 unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to you a covering of the eyes, unto all that are with you, and with all other: thus she was reproved.

17 Abraham oró a Dios. Entonces Dios sanó a Abimelec, a su esposa y a sus siervas, y éstas dieron a luz.

So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare 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 fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
