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;
And Jehovah saith unto Abram, 'Go for thyself, from thy land, and from thy kindred, and from the house of thy father, unto the land which I shew 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 make thee become a great nation, and bless thee, and make thy name great; and be thou a blessing.
3 Jeg vil velsigne dem, der velsigner dig, og forbande dem, der forbander dig; i dig skal alle Jordens Slægter velsignes!«
And I bless those blessing thee, and him who is disesteeming thee I curse, and blessed in thee have been all families of the ground.'
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;
And Abram goeth on, as Jehovah hath spoken unto him, and Lot goeth with him, and Abram [is] a son of five and seventy years in his going out from Charan.
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.
And Abram taketh Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they have gained, and the persons that they have obtained in Charan; and they go out to go towards the land of Canaan; and they come in to the land of Canaan.
6 Derpaa drog Abram gennem Landet til Sikems hellige Sted, til Sandsigerens Træ. Det var dengang Kana'anæerne boede i Landet.
And Abram passeth over into the land, unto the place Shechem, unto the oak of Moreh; and the Canaanite [is] then in the 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 Jehovah appeareth unto Abram, and saith, 'To thy seed I give this land;' and he buildeth there an altar to Jehovah, who hath appeared unto 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.
And he removeth from thence towards a mountain at the east of Beth-El, and stretcheth out the tent (Beth-El at the west, and Hai at the east), and he buildeth there an altar to Jehovah, and preacheth in the name of Jehovah.
9 Derpaa drog Abram fra Plads til Plads og naaede Sydlandet.
And Abram journeyeth, going on and journeying towards 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.
And there is a famine in the land, and Abram goeth down towards Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine [is] grievous in the land;
11 Da han nu nærmede sig Ægypten, sagde han til sin Hustru Saraj: »Jeg ved jo, at du er en smuk Kvinde;
and it cometh to pass as he hath drawn near to enter Egypt, that he saith unto Sarai his wife, 'Lo, I pray thee, I have known that thou [art] a woman of beautiful appearance;
12 naar nu Ægypterne ser dig, og de mener, at du er min Hustru, slaar de mig ihjel og lader dig leve;
and it hath come to pass that the Egyptians see thee, and they have said, 'This [is] his wife,' and they have slain me, and thee they keep alive:
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, thou [art] my sister, so that it is well with me because of thee, and my soul hath lived for thy sake.'
14 Da han saa drog ind i Ægypten, saa Ægypterne, at hun var en saare smuk Kvinde;
And it cometh to pass, at the entering of Abram into Egypt, that the Egyptians see the woman that she [is] exceeding fair;
15 og Faraos Stormænd, der saa hende, priste hende for Farao, og saa blev Kvinden ført til Faraos Hus.
and princes of Pharaoh see her, and praise her unto Pharaoh, and the woman is taken [to] Pharaoh's house;
16 Men Abram behandlede han godt for hendes Skyld, og han fik Smaakvæg, Hornkvæg og Æsler, Trælle og Trælkvinder, Aseninder og Kameler.
and to Abram he hath done good because of her, and he hath sheep and oxen, and he-asses, and men-servants, and handmaids, and she-asses, and camels.
17 Men HERREN ramte Farao og hans Hus med svære Plager for Abrams Hustru Sarajs Skyld.
And Jehovah plagueth Pharaoh and his house — great plagues — for the matter of Sarai, Abram's 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?
And Pharaoh calleth for Abram, and saith, 'What [is] this thou hast done to me? why hast thou not declared to me that she [is] 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 hast thou said, She [is] my sister, and I take her to myself for a wife? and now, lo, thy wife, take and go.'
20 Og Farao bød sine Mænd følge ham og hans Hustru og al deres Ejendom paa Vej;
And Pharaoh chargeth men concerning him, and they send him away, and his wife, an all that he hath.
