1 Mosebog 12
1 HERREN sagde til Abram: »Drag ud fra dit Land, fra din Slægt og din Faders Hus til det Land, jeg vil vise dig;
For the Lord had said vnto Abram, Get thee out of thy countrey, and from thy kindred, and from thy fathers house vnto the land that I will shewe thee.
2 saa vil jeg gøre dig til et stort Folk, og jeg vil velsigne dig og gøre dit Navn stort, og vær en Velsignelse!
And I will make of thee a great nation, and will blesse thee, and make thy name great, and thou shalt be a blessing.
3 Jeg vil velsigne dem, der velsigner dig, og forbande dem, der forbander dig; i dig skal alle Jordens Slægter velsignes!«
I will also blesse them that blesse thee, and curse them that curse thee, and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
4 Og Abram gik, som HERREN sagde til ham, og Lot gik med ham. Abram var fem og halvfjerdsindstyve Aar, da han drog fra Karan;
So Abram departed, euen as ye Lord spake vnto him, and Lot went with him. (And Abram was seuentie and fiue yeere olde, when he departed out of Haran)
5 og Abram tog sin Hustru Saraj og sin Brodersøn Lot og al den Ejendom, de havde samlet sig, og de Folk, de havde vundet sig i Karan, og de gav sig paa Vej til Kana'ans Land og naaede derhen.
Then Abram tooke Sarai his wife, and Lot his brothers sonne, and all their substance that they possessed, and the soules that they had gotten in Haran, and they departed, to goe to the land of Canaan: and to the land of Canaan they came.
6 Derpaa drog Abram gennem Landet til Sikems hellige Sted, til Sandsigerens Træ. Det var dengang Kana'anæerne boede i Landet.
So Abram passed through the land vnto the place of Shechem, and vnto the plaine of Moreh (and the Canaanite was then in ye land)
7 Men HERREN aabenbarede sig for Abram og sagde til ham: »Dit Afkom giver jeg dette Land!« Da byggede han der et Alter for HERREN, som havde aabenbaret sig for ham.
And the Lord appeared vnto Abram, and said, Vnto thy seede will I giue this land. And there builded he an altar vnto the Lord, which appeared vnto him.
8 Derpaa brød han op derfra og drog til Bjergene østen for Betel, og han slog Lejr med Betel mod Vest og Aj mod Øst; og han byggede HERREN et Alter der og paakaldte HERRENS Navn.
Afterward remouing thence vnto a moutaine Eastward from Beth-el, he pitched his tent hauing Beth-el on the Westside, and Haai on the East: and there he built an altar vnto the Lord, and called on the Name of the Lord.
9 Derpaa drog Abram fra Plads til Plads og naaede Sydlandet.
Againe Abram went forth going and iourneying toward the South.
10 Der opstod Hungersnød i Landet; og da Hungersnøden i Landet blev trykkende, drog Abram ned til Ægypten for at bo der som fremmed.
Then there came a famine in the land: therefore Abram went downe into Egypt to soiourne there: for there was a great famine in the lande.
11 Da han nu nærmede sig Ægypten, sagde han til sin Hustru Saraj: »Jeg ved jo, at du er en smuk Kvinde;
And when he drewe neere to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, Beholde nowe, I know that thou art a faire woman to looke vpon:
12 naar nu Ægypterne ser dig, og de mener, at du er min Hustru, slaar de mig ihjel og lader dig leve;
Therefore it will come to passe, that when the Egyptians see thee, they will say, She is his wife: so will they kill me, but they will keepe thee aliue.
13 sig derfor, at du er min Søster, for at det maa gaa mig godt, og jeg ikke skal miste Livet for din Skyld!«
Say, I pray thee, that thou art my sister, that I may fare well for thy sake, and that my life may be preserued by thee.
14 Da han saa drog ind i Ægypten, saa Ægypterne, at hun var en saare smuk Kvinde;
Nowe when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians behelde the woman: for she was very faire.
15 og Faraos Stormænd, der saa hende, priste hende for Farao, og saa blev Kvinden ført til Faraos Hus.
And the Princes of Pharaoh sawe her, and commended her vnto Pharaoh: so the woman was taken into Pharaohs house:
16 Men Abram behandlede han godt for hendes Skyld, og han fik Smaakvæg, Hornkvæg og Æsler, Trælle og Trælkvinder, Aseninder og Kameler.
Who intreated Abram well for her sake, and he had sheepe, and beeues, and hee asses, and men seruants and maide seruants, and shee asses, and camelles.
17 Men HERREN ramte Farao og hans Hus med svære Plager for Abrams Hustru Sarajs Skyld.
But the Lord plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues, because of Sarai Abrams wife.
18 Da lod Farao Abram kalde og sagde: »Hvad har du gjort imod mig! Hvorfor lod du mig ikke vide, at hun er din Hustru?
Then Pharaoh called Abram, and saide, Why hast thou done this vnto me? Wherefore diddest thou not tell me, that she was thy wife?
19 Hvorfor sagde du, at hun var din Søster, saa at jeg tog hende til Hustru? Se, her har du nu din Hustru, tag hende og gaa bort!«
Why saidest thou, She is my sister, that I should take her to be my wife? Nowe therefore beholde thy wife, take her and goe thy way.
20 Og Farao bød sine Mænd følge ham og hans Hustru og al deres Ejendom paa Vej;
And Pharaoh gaue men commandement concerning him: and they conueyed him forth, and his wife, and all that he had.
