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.
Then the Lord said to Abram: “Depart from your land, and from your kindred, and from your father’s house, and come into the land that I will show you.
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, and I will bless you and magnify your name, and you will be blessed.
3 Požehnám také dobrořečícím tobě, a zlořečícím tobě zlořečiti budu; ano požehnány budou v tobě všecky čeledi země.
I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you, and in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.”
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.)
And so Abram departed just as the Lord had instructed him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed 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 he took his wife Sarai, and Lot, the son of his brother, and all the substance which they had come to possess, and the lives which they had acquired in Haran, and they departed in order to go to the land of Canaan. And when they arrived in it,
6 I prošel Abram tu zemi až k místu Sichem, to jest až k rovině More. A tehdáž Kananejští byli v zemi.
Abram passed through the land even to the place of Shechem, as far as the famous steep valley. Now at that time, the Canaanite was 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.
Then the Lord appeared to Abram, and he said to him, “To your offspring, I will give this land.” And there he built an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to 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 passing on from there to a mountain, which was opposite the east of Bethel, he pitched his tent there, having Bethel to the west, and Hai on the east. He also built an altar there to the Lord, and he called upon his name.
9 Potom hnul se Abram dále, a odebral se odtud ku poledni.
And Abram traveled, going out and continuing further on, toward 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.
But a famine occurred in the land. And Abram descended to Egypt, to sojourn there. For famine prevailed over the land.
11 I stalo se, že když přicházel blízko k Egyptu, řekl k Sarai manželce své: Aj, nyní znám, že jsi žena krásné tváři.
And when he was close to entering Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai: “I know you to be a beautiful woman.
12 A stane se, že když tě uzří Egyptští, řeknou: To jest manželka jeho; i zabijí mne, tebe pak živé nechají.
And when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘She is his wife.’ And they will put me to death, and retain you.
13 Prav medle, že jsi sestra má, aby mi dobře bylo příčinou tvou, a živa zůstala duše má pro tebe.
Therefore, I beg you to say that you are my sister, so that it may be well with me because of you, and so that my soul may live by your favor.”
14 I stalo se, když všel Abram do Egypta, viděli Egyptští ženu, že krásná byla náramně.
And so, when Abram had arrived in Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was exceedingly beautiful.
15 A vidouce ji knížata Faraonova, schválili ji před ním; i vzata jest žena do domu Faraonova.
And the princes reported it to Pharaoh, and they praised her to him. And the woman was inducted into the house of Pharaoh.
16 Kterýžto i Abramovi dobře učinil pro ni; a měl ovce a voly a osly, i služebníky a děvky, též oslice a velbloudy.
In truth, they treated Abram well because of her. And he had sheep and oxen and male donkeys, and men servants, and women servants, and female donkeys, and camels.
17 Ale Hospodin trápil Faraona ranami velikými, i dům jeho, pro Sarai manželku Abramovu.
But the Lord scourged Pharaoh and his house with great wounds because of Sarai, the wife of Abram.
18 Protož povolal Farao Abrama a řekl: Cos mi to učinil? Pročežs mi neoznámil, že ona manželka tvá jest?
And Pharaoh called Abram, and he said to him: “What is this that you have done to me? Why did you not tell me 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.
For what reason did you claim her to be your sister, so that I would take her to me as a wife? Now therefore, behold your mate, receive her and go.”
20 I poručil o něm Farao mužům, a propustili ho, i manželku jeho i všecko, což měl.
And Pharaoh instructed his men about Abram. And they led him away with his wife and all that he had.
