Da rief Abimelech den Isaak und sprach: Siehe, es ist dein Weib. Wie hast du denn gesagt: Sie ist meine Schwester? Isaak antwortete ihm: Ich gedachte, ich möchte vielleicht sterben müssen um ihretwillen.
Y llamó Abimelech a Isaac, y dijo: He aquí ella es de cierto tu mujer: ¿cómo, pues, dijiste: Es mi hermana? E Isaac le respondió: Porque dije: Quizá moriré por causa de ella.
Abimelec llamó a Isaac y le dijo: «¡Es tu esposa! ¿Cómo dijiste: “Es mi hermana”?». Isaac le respondió: «Pensé que podría morir por causa de ella».
Abimélec fit appeler Isaac, et dit: Certainement, c'est ta femme. Comment as-tu pu dire: C'est ma soeur? Isaac lui répondit: J'ai parlé ainsi, de peur de mourir à cause d'elle.
E Abimelecco chiamò Isacco, e gli disse: Ecco, costei è pur tua moglie; come adunque hai tu detto: Ell’è mia sorella? E Isacco gli disse: Perciocchè io diceva: E’ mi convien guardare che io non muoia per cagion d’essa.
Então chamou Abimeleque a Isaque, e disse: Eis que na verdade é tua mulher; como pois disseste: É minha irmã? E disse-lhe Isaque: Porque eu dizia: Para que eu porventura não morra por causa dela.
