Genesis 20
Ang Biblia, 2001
Sina Abraham at Abimelec
20 At mula roon ay naglakbay si Abraham sa lupain ng timog, at nanirahan sa pagitan ng Kadesh at Shur. Samantalang naninirahan bilang isang dayuhan sa Gerar,
2 sinabi(A) ni Abraham tungkol kay Sara na kanyang asawa, “Siya'y aking kapatid;” at si Abimelec na hari sa Gerar ay nagpasugo at kinuha si Sara.
3 Subalit pumunta ang Diyos kay Abimelec sa panaginip sa gabi at sinabi sa kanya, “Ikaw ay malapit nang mamatay dahil sa ang babaing kinuha mo'y asawa ng isang lalaki.”
4 Ngunit si Abimelec ay hindi pa nakakasiping sa kanya. At sinabi niya, “Panginoon, papatayin mo ba pati ang isang bayang walang sala?
5 Hindi ba siya rin ang nagsabi sa akin, ‘Siya'y aking kapatid.’ at si Sara man ay nagsabi, ‘Siya'y aking kapatid?’ Sa katapatan ng aking puso at kawalang-sala ng aking mga kamay ay ginawa ko ito.”
6 Sinabi sa kanya ng Diyos sa panaginip, “Oo, nalalaman ko na sa katapatan ng iyong puso ay ginawa mo ito, at hinadlangan din naman kita na magkasala ng laban sa akin kaya't hindi ko ipinahintulot na galawin mo siya.
7 Ngayon nga'y isauli mo ang asawa ng lalaking ito; sapagkat siya'y isang propeta, at ikaw ay ipapanalangin niya at mabubuhay ka. Ngunit kapag hindi mo siya isinauli, tandaan mong tiyak na mamamatay ka, ikaw at ang lahat ng iyo.”
8 Kinaumagahan, si Abimelec ay bumangon nang maaga at tinawag ang lahat niyang mga lingkod. Sinabi niya sa kanila ang lahat ng bagay na ito, at ang mga tao'y takot na takot.
9 Tinawag ni Abimelec si Abraham, at sa kanya'y sinabi, “Anong ginawa mo sa amin at paano ako nagkasala laban sa iyo, upang dalhan mo ako at ang aking kaharian ng isang malaking kasalanan? Ginawa mo sa akin ang mga gawang di nararapat gawin.”
10 At sinabi ni Abimelec kay Abraham, “Ano ba ang iniisip mo at ginawa mo ang bagay na ito?”
11 Sumagot si Abraham, “Sapagkat inisip ko na tunay na walang pagkatakot sa Diyos sa lugar na ito at papatayin nila ako dahil sa aking asawa.
12 At saka, talagang siya'y kapatid ko, anak ng aking ama, subalit hindi anak ng aking ina; at siya'y naging asawa ko.
13 Nang paalisin ako ng Diyos sa bahay ng aking ama ay sinabi ko sa kanya, ‘Ito ang kabutihan na maipapakita mo sa akin: sa lahat ng lugar na ating pupuntahan ay sabihin mo tungkol sa akin, Siya'y aking kapatid.’”
14 Si Abimelec ay kumuha ng mga tupa at baka, mga aliping lalaki at babae, at ibinigay ang mga ito kay Abraham, at isinauli sa kanya si Sara na kanyang asawa.
15 At sinabi ni Abimelec, “Ang lupain ko ay nasa harapan mo; manirahan ka kung saan mo gusto.”
16 Sinabi niya kay Sara, “Tingnan mo, nagbigay ako ng isang libong pirasong pilak sa iyong kapatid. Ito'y magpapawalang-sala sa iyo sa paningin ng lahat ng kasama mo; ikaw ay ganap na napawalang-sala.”
17 At nanalangin si Abraham sa Diyos; at pinagaling ng Diyos si Abimelec, ang kanyang asawa, at ang kanyang mga aliping babae, na anupa't nagkaanak sila.
18 Sapagkat sinarhan ng Panginoon ang lahat ng bahay-bata sa sambahayan ni Abimelec, dahil kay Sara na asawa ni Abraham.

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
Sarah Rescued from Abimelech
20 From there Abraham travelled to the region of the Negev and settled between Kadesh and Shur. While he was staying in Gerar,(A) 2 Abraham said about his wife Sarah, ‘She is my sister.’(B) So King Abimelech of Gerar had Sarah brought to him.
3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night and said to him, ‘You are about to die because of the woman you have taken, for she is a married woman.’[a]
4 Now Abimelech had not approached her, so he said, ‘Lord, would you destroy a nation even though it is innocent? 5 Didn’t he himself say to me, “She is my sister”? And she herself said, “He is my brother.” I did this with a clear conscience[b] and clean[c] hands.’
6 Then God said to him in the dream, ‘Yes, I know that you did this with a clear conscience.[d] I have also kept you from sinning against me. Therefore I have not let you touch her. 7 Now return the man’s wife, for he is a prophet,(C) and he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not return her, know that you will certainly die, you and all who are yours.’
8 Early in the morning Abimelech got up, called all his servants together, and personally[e] told them all these things, and the men were terrified.
9 Then Abimelech called Abraham in and said to him, ‘What have you done to us? How did I sin against you that you have brought such enormous guilt on me and on my kingdom? You have done things to me that should never be done.’(D) 10 Abimelech also asked Abraham, ‘What made you do this? ’
11 Abraham replied, ‘I thought, “There is absolutely no fear of God in this place.(E) They will kill me because of my wife.” 12 Besides, she really is my sister, the daughter of my father though not the daughter of my mother, and she became my wife. 13 So when God made me wander from my father’s house,(F) I said to her: Show your loyalty to me wherever we go and say about me, “He’s my brother.” ’(G)
14 Then Abimelech took flocks and herds and male and female slaves, gave them to Abraham, and returned his wife Sarah to him. 15 Abimelech said, ‘Look, my land is before you.(H) Settle wherever you want.’[f] 16 And he said to Sarah, ‘Look, I am giving your brother one thousand pieces of silver. It is a verification of your honour[g] to all who are with you. You are fully vindicated.’
17 Then Abraham prayed to God,(I) and God healed Abimelech, his wife, and his female slaves so that they could bear children, 18 for the Lord had completely closed all the wombs in Abimelech’s household on account of Sarah, Abraham’s wife.
Genesis 20
King James Version
20 And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.
2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife.
4 But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?
5 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 innocency of my hands have I done this.
6 And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.
7 Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.
8 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 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done.
10 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?
11 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 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 And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said unto her, This is thy kindness which thou shalt shew unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.
14 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
15 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.
16 And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved.
17 So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.
18 For the Lord had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
Génesis 20
Dios Habla Hoy
Abraham y Abimélec
20 Abraham salió del lugar donde estaba y se fue a la región del Négueb, y se quedó a vivir en la ciudad de Guerar, entre Cadés y Sur. 2 Estando allí, decía que Sara, su esposa, era su hermana. Entonces Abimélec, el rey de Guerar, mandó traer a Sara para hacerla su mujer; 3 pero aquella noche Abimélec tuvo un sueño, en el que Dios le dijo: «Vas a morir, porque la mujer que has tomado es casada.»
4 Sin embargo, como él no la había tocado, le contestó: «Mi Señor, ¿acaso piensas matar a quien no ha hecho nada malo? 5 Abraham mismo me dijo que la mujer es su hermana, y ella también afirmó que él es su hermano, así que yo hice todo esto de buena fe. No he hecho nada malo.»
6 Y Dios le contestó en el sueño: «Yo sé muy bien que lo hiciste de buena fe. Por eso no te dejé tocarla, para que no pecaras contra mí. 7 Pero ahora, devuélvele su esposa a ese hombre, porque él es profeta y rogará por ti para que vivas; pero si no se la devuelves, tú y los tuyos ciertamente morirán.»
8 Al día siguiente por la mañana, Abimélec se levantó y llamó a sus siervos, y les contó todo lo que había soñado. Al oírlo, ellos tuvieron mucho miedo. 9 Después Abimélec llamó a Abraham y le dijo:
—¡Mira lo que nos has hecho! ¿En qué te he ofendido, para que hayas traído un pecado tan grande sobre mí y sobre mi gente? Esas cosas no se hacen. 10 ¿Qué estabas pensando cuando hiciste todo esto?
Así le habló Abimélec a Abraham, 11 y Abraham contestó:
—Yo pensé que en este lugar no tenían ningún respeto a Dios, y que me matarían por causa de mi esposa. 12 Pero es cierto que ella es mi hermana: es hija de mi padre, aunque no de mi madre; por eso pude casarme con ella. 13 Cuando Dios me dio la orden de salir de la casa de mi padre, le pedí a ella que, en cada lugar a donde llegáramos, dijera que yo era su hermano.
14 Entonces Abimélec le devolvió a Abraham su esposa Sara. Además le regaló ovejas, vacas, esclavos y esclavas, 15 y le dijo:
—Mira, ahí tienes mi país; escoge el lugar que más te guste para vivir.
16 A Sara le dijo:
—Lo que le he dado a tu hermano vale mil monedas de plata, y eso va a servir para defender tu buena fama delante de todos los que están contigo. Nadie podrá hablar mal de ti.
17 Entonces Abraham oró a Dios, y Dios les devolvió la salud a Abimélec y a su esposa. También sanó a sus siervas, para que pudieran tener hijos, 18 pues por causa de Sara, el Señor había hecho que ninguna mujer de la casa de Abimélec pudiera tener hijos.
