Génesis 20

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

Abraham journeyed from there toward the land of the Negev, and lived between Kadesh and Shur. He was a foreigner living in Gerar.

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

Abraham said concerning Sarah his wife, “She is my sister.” So Abimelech king of Gerar sent for Sarah and took her.

3 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.

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

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

Now Abimelech had not come near her and he said, “Lord, would you kill even a righteous nation?

5 ¿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.

Did he not himself say to me, 'She is my sister?' Even she herself said, 'He is my brother.' I have done this in the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands.”

6 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.

Then God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I also know that in the integrity of your heart you did this, and I also kept you from sinning against me. Therefore I did not allow you to touch her.

7 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.

Therefore, return the man's wife, for he is a prophet. He will pray for you, and you will live. But if you do not restore her, know that you and all who are yours will surely die.”

8 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.

Abimelech rose early in the morning and called all of his servants to himself. He told all these things to them, and the men were very afraid.

9 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.

Then Abimelech called for Abraham and said to him, “What have you done to us? How have I sinned against you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You have done to me that which ought not to be done.”

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

Abimelech said to Abraham, “What prompted you to do this thing?”

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

Abraham said, “Because I thought, 'Surely there is no fear of God in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.'

12 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:

Besides, she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.

13 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.

When God caused me to leave my father's house and travel from place to place, I said to her, 'You must show me this faithfulness as my wife: At every place where we go, say about me, “He is my brother.”'”

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

Then Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and male and female slaves, and gave them to Abraham. Then he returned Sarah, Abraham's wife, to him.

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

Abimelech said, “Look, my land is before you. Settle wherever it pleases you.”

16 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.

To Sarah he said, “Look, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver. It is to cover any offense against you in the eyes of all that are with you, and before everyone, you are completely made right.”

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

Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, his wife, and his female slaves so that they were able to have children.

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

For Yahweh had caused all the women of the household of Abimelech to be completely infertile, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.
