Postanak 12
1 Jahve reče Abramu: “Idi iz zemlje svoje, iz zavičaja i doma očinskog, u krajeve koje ću ti pokazati.
And Jehovah had said to Abram, Go out of thy land, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, to the land that I will shew thee.
2 Velik ću narod od tebe učiniti, blagoslovit ću te, ime ću ti uzveličati, i sam ćeš biti blagoslov.
And I will make of thee a great nation, and bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing.
3 Blagoslivljat ću one koji te blagoslivljali budu, koji te budu kleli, njih ću proklinjati; sva plemena na zemlji tobom će se blagoslivljati.”
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee; and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
4 Abram se zaputi kako mu je Jahve rekao. S njime krenu i Lot. Abramu je bilo sedamdeset i pet godina kad je otišao iz Harana.
And Abram departed as Jehovah had said to him. And Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed out of Haran.
5 Abram uze sa sobom svoju ženu Saraju, svoga bratića Lota, svu imovinu što su je namakli i svu čeljad koju su stekli u Haranu te svi pođu u zemlju kanaansku. Kad su stigli u Kanaan,
And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their possessions that they had acquired, and the souls that they had obtained in Haran, and they went out to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
6 Abram prođe zemljom do mjesta Šekema - do hrasta More. Kanaanci su onda bili u zemlji.
And Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
7 Jahve se javi Abramu pa mu reče: “Tvome ću potomstvu dati ovu zemlju.” Abram tu podigne žrtvenik Jahvi koji mu se objavio.
And Jehovah appeared to Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land. And there he built an altar to Jehovah who had appeared to him.
8 Odatle prijeđe u brdoviti kraj, na istok od Betela. Svoj šator postavi između Betela na zapadu i Aja na istoku. Ondje podigne žrtvenik Jahvi i zazva ime Jahvino.
And he removed thence towards the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, [having] Bethel toward the west, and Ai toward the east; and there he built an altar to Jehovah, and called on the name of Jehovah.
9 Od postaje do postaje Abram se pomicao prema Negebu.
And Abram moved onward, going on still toward the south.
10 Ali kad je zemljom zavladala glad, Abram se spusti u Egipat da ondje proboravi, jer je velika glad harala zemljom.
And there was a famine in the land. And Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine was grievous in the land.
11 Kad je bio na ulazu u Egipat, reče svojoj ženi Saraji: “Znam da si lijepa žena.
And it came to pass when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a woman fair to look upon.
12 Kad te Egipćani vide, reći će: 'To je njegova žena', i mene će ubiti, a tebe na životu ostaviti.
And it will come to pass when the Egyptians see thee, that they will say, She is his wife; and they will slay me, and save thee alive.
13 Nego reci da si mi sestra, tako da i meni bude zbog tebe dobro i da, iz obzira prema tebi, poštede moj život.”
Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister, that it may be well with me on thy account, and my soul may live because of thee.
14 Zbilja, kad je Abram ušao u Egipat, Egipćani vide da je žena veoma lijepa.
And it came to pass when Abram came into Egypt, that the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
15 Vide je faraonovi dvorani pa je pohvale faraonu i odvedu ženu na faraonov dvor.
And the princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
16 Abramu pođe dobro zbog nje; steče on stoke i goveda, magaraca, slugu i sluškinja, magarica i deva.
And he treated Abram well on her account; and he had sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and bondmen, and bondwomen, and she-asses, and camels.
17 Ali Jahve udari faraona i njegov dom velikim nevoljama zbog Abramove žene Saraje.
And Jehovah plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.
18 I faraon pozva Abrama pa reče: “Što si mi to učinio? Zašto mi nisi kazao da je ona tvoja žena?
And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this thou hast done to me? Why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?
19 Zašto si rekao: 'Ona mi je sestra', pa je ja uzeh sebi za ženu? A sad, evo ti žene; uzmi je i hajde!”
Why didst thou say, She is my sister, so that I took her as my wife. And now, behold, there is thy wife: take [her], and go away.
20 Faraon ga onda preda momcima, a oni ga otprave s njegovom ženom i sa svime što bijaše njegovo.
And Pharaoh commanded [his] men concerning him, and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
