创世记 12
1 耶和华对亚伯兰说：“你要离开本地、本族、父家，往我所要指示你的地去。
Then the LORde sayd vnto Abra Gett the out of thy contre and from thy kynred and out of thy fathers house into a londe which I wyll shewe the.
2 我必叫你成为大国。我必赐福给你，叫你的名为大；你也要叫别人得福。
And I wyll make of the a myghtie people and wyll blesse the and make thy name grete that thou mayst be a blessinge.
3 为你祝福的，我必赐福与他；那咒诅你的，我必咒诅他。地上的万族都要因你得福。”
And I wyll blesse the that blesse the ad curse the that curse the. And in the shall be blessed all the generations of the erth.
4 亚伯兰就照着耶和华的吩咐去了；罗得也和他同去。亚伯兰出哈兰的时候年七十五岁。
And Abram wet as the LORde badd hym and Lot went wyth him. Abram was. lxxv. yere olde when he went out of Haran.
5 亚伯兰将他妻子撒莱和侄儿罗得，连他们在哈兰所积蓄的财物、所得的人口，都带往迦南地去。他们就到了迦南地。
And Abram toke Sarai his wyfe ad Lot his brothers sonne wyth all their goodes which they had goten and soulles which they had begoten in Haran. And they departed to goo in to the lade of Chanaan. And when they were come in to the lande of Chanaan
6 亚伯兰经过那地，到了示剑地方、摩利橡树那里。那时迦南人住在那地。
Abram went furth in to the lade tyll he came vnto a place called Sychem and vnto the oke of More. And the Canaanytes dwelled then in the lande.
7 耶和华向亚伯兰显现，说：“我要把这地赐给你的后裔。”亚伯兰就在那里为向他显现的耶和华筑了一座坛。
Then the LORde apeared vnto Abram ad sayd: vnto thy seed wyll I geue thys lade. And he buylded an aultere there vnto the LORDE which apeared to hym.
8 从那里他又迁到伯特利东边的山，支搭帐棚；西边是伯特利，东边是艾。他在那里又为耶和华筑了一座坛，求告耶和华的名。
Then departed he thence vnto a mountayne that lyeth on the east syde of BETHEL and pytched hys tente: BETHEL beynge on the west syde and Ay on the east: And he buylded there an aulter vnto the LORde and called on the name of ye LORde.
9 后来亚伯兰又渐渐迁往南地去。
And than Abram departed and toke his iourney southwarde
10 那地遭遇饥荒。因饥荒甚大，亚伯兰就下埃及去，要在那里暂居。
After thys there came a derth in the lande. And Abram went doune in to Egipte to soiourne there for the derth was sore in the lande.
11 将近埃及，就对他妻子撒莱说：“我知道你是容貌俊美的妇人。
And when he was come nye for to entre in to Egipte he sayd vnto sarai his wife. Beholde I knowe that thou art a fayre woman to loke apo.
12 埃及人看见你必说：‘这是他的妻子’，他们就要杀我，却叫你存活。
It wyll come to passe therfore whe the Egiptians see the that they wyll say: she is his wyfe. And so shall they sley me and save the.
13 求你说，你是我的妹子，使我因你得平安，我的命也因你存活。”
saye I praye the therfore that thou art my sister that I maye fare the better by reason of the and that my soule maye lyue for thy sake.
14 及至亚伯兰到了埃及，埃及人看见那妇人极其美貌。
As soone as he came in to Egipte the Egiptias sawe the woman that she was very fayre.
15 法老的臣宰看见了她，就在法老面前夸奖她。那妇人就被带进法老的宫去。
And Pharaos lordes sawe hir also and praysed hir vnto Pharao: So that she was taken in to Pharaos house
16 法老因这妇人就厚待亚伯兰，亚伯兰得了许多牛、羊、骆驼、公驴、母驴、仆婢。
which entreated Abram well for hir sake so that he had shepe oxsen ad he asses men seruantes mayde seruates she asses and camels.
17 耶和华因亚伯兰妻子撒莱的缘故，降大灾与法老和他的全家。
But God plaged Pharao and his house wyth grete plages because of Sarai Abrams wyfe.
18 法老就召了亚伯兰来，说：“你这向我做的是什么事呢？为什么没有告诉我她是你的妻子？
Then Pharao called Abram and sayd: why hast thou thus dealt with me? Wherfore toldest thou me not that she was thy wyfe?
19 为什么说她是你的妹子，以致我把她取来要作我的妻子？现在你的妻子在这里，可以带她走吧。”
Why saydest thou that she was thy sister and causedest me to take hyr to my wyfe? But now loo there is the wife take hir ad be walkynge.
20 于是法老吩咐人将亚伯兰和他妻子，并他所有的都送走了。
Pharao also gaue a charge vnto his men over Abram to leade hym out wyth his wyfe and all that he had.
