1 Mojžišova 12
1 Nebo byl řekl Hospodin Abramovi: Vyjdi z země své a z příbuznosti své, i z domu otce svého do země, kterouž ukáži tobě.
Now the Lord said to Abram, Go out from your country and from your family and from your father's house, into the land to which I will be your guide:
2 A učiním tě v národ veliký, a požehnám tobě, a zvelebím jméno tvé, a budeš požehnání.
And I will make of you a great nation, blessing you and making your name great; and you will be a blessing:
3 Požehnám také dobrořečícím tobě, a zlořečícím tobě zlořečiti budu; ano požehnány budou v tobě všecky čeledi země.
To them who are good to you will I give blessing, and on him who does you wrong will I put my curse: and you will become a name of blessing to all the families of the earth.
4 I vyšel Abram, tak jakž mu byl mluvil Hospodin, a šel s ním Lot. (Byl pak Abram v sedmdesáti pěti letech, když vyšel z Cháran.)
So Abram went as the Lord had said to him, and Lot went with him: Abram was seventy-five years old when he went away from Haran.
5 A vzal Abram Sarai manželku svou, a Lota syna bratra svého, a všecko zboží své, kteréhož nabyli, i duše, kterýchž dosáhli v Cháran. A vyšedše, brali se do země Kananejské, až i přišli do ní.
And Abram took Sarai, his wife, and Lot, his brother's son, and all their goods and the servants which they had got in Haran, and they went out to go to the land of Canaan.
6 I prošel Abram tu zemi až k místu Sichem, to jest až k rovině More. A tehdáž Kananejští byli v zemi.
And Abram went through the land till he came to Shechem, to the holy tree of Moreh. At that time, the Canaanites were still living in the land.
7 I ukázal se Hospodin Abramovi a řekl: Semeni tvému dám zemi tuto. Tedy vzdělal tu oltář Hospodinu, kterýž se byl ukázal jemu.
And the Lord came to Abram, and said, I will give all this land to your seed; then Abram made an altar there to the Lord who had let himself be seen by him.
8 A odtud podal se k hoře, kteráž leží na východ od Bethel, kdežto rozbil stan svůj, tak že mu Bethel byl na západ, Hai pak na východ; i vzdělal tam oltář Hospodinu, a vzýval jméno Hospodinovo.
And moving on from there to the mountain on the east of Beth-el, he put up his tent, having Beth-el on the west and Ai on the east: and there he made an altar and gave worship to the name of the Lord.
9 Potom hnul se Abram dále, a odebral se odtud ku poledni.
And he went on, journeying still to the South.
10 Byl pak hlad v té zemi; protož sstoupil Abram do Egypta, aby tam byl pohostinu; nebo veliký byl hlad v té zemi.
And because there was little food to be had in that land, he went down into Egypt.
11 I stalo se, že když přicházel blízko k Egyptu, řekl k Sarai manželce své: Aj, nyní znám, že jsi žena krásné tváři.
Now when he came near to Egypt, he said to Sarai, his wife, Truly, you are a fair woman and beautiful to the eye;
12 A stane se, že když tě uzří Egyptští, řeknou: To jest manželka jeho; i zabijí mne, tebe pak živé nechají.
And I am certain that when the men of Egypt see you, they will say, This is his wife: and they will put me to death and keep you.
13 Prav medle, že jsi sestra má, aby mi dobře bylo příčinou tvou, a živa zůstala duše má pro tebe.
Say, then, that you are my sister, and so it will be well with me because of you, and my life will be kept safe on your account.
14 I stalo se, když všel Abram do Egypta, viděli Egyptští ženu, že krásná byla náramně.
And so it was that when Abram came into Egypt, the men of Egypt, looking on the woman, saw that she was fair.
15 A vidouce ji knížata Faraonova, schválili ji před ním; i vzata jest žena do domu Faraonova.
And Pharaoh's great men, having seen her, said words in praise of her to Pharaoh, and she was taken into Pharaoh's house.
16 Kterýžto i Abramovi dobře učinil pro ni; a měl ovce a voly a osly, i služebníky a děvky, též oslice a velbloudy.
And because of her, he was good to Abram, and he had sheep and oxen and asses, and men-servants and women-servants, and camels.
17 Ale Hospodin trápil Faraona ranami velikými, i dům jeho, pro Sarai manželku Abramovu.
And the Lord sent great troubles on Pharaoh's house because of Sarai, Abram's wife.
18 Protož povolal Farao Abrama a řekl: Cos mi to učinil? Pročežs mi neoznámil, že ona manželka tvá jest?
Then Pharaoh sent for Abram, and said, What have you done to me? why did you not say that she was your wife?
19 Proč jsi řekl: Sestra má jest? A vzal jsem ji sobě za ženu. Protož nyní, teď máš manželku svou, vezmi a jdi.
Why did you say that she was your sister? so that I took her for my wife: now, take your wife and go on your way.
20 I poručil o něm Farao mužům, a propustili ho, i manželku jeho i všecko, což měl.
And Pharaoh gave orders to his men, and they sent him on his way, with his wife and all he had.
