Génesis 20

1 De allí se partió Abraham a la tierra del mediodía, y asentó entre Cádes y Sur; y peregrinó 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 decía Abraham de Sara su mujer: Mi hermana es. Y Abimelec, rey de Gerar, envió, 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 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.

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 Mas Abimelec no había llegado a ella, y dijo: Señor: ¿matarás también la gente justa?

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

5 ¿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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 Y dijo más Abimelec a Abraham: ¿Qué viste, para que hicieses esto?

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

11 Y Abraham respondió: Porque dije: Cierto no hay temor de Dios en este lugar: y matarme han por causa de mi mujer.

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 también cierto mi hermana es, hija de mi padre, mas no hija de mi madre, y toméla por mujer.

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 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.

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 tomó ovejas y vacas, y siervos, y siervas, y dio a Abraham, y volvióle a Sara su mujer:

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: He aquí, mi tierra está delante de ti, en lo que bien te pareciere, habita.

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

16 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.

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 sanó a Abimelec y a su mujer, y a sus siervas, y parieron.

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 cerrando había cerrado Jehová toda matriz de la casa de Abimelec, a causa de Sara 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.
