Genesis 12
1 Now Jehovah said to Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, to the land that I will show thee.
Ora o Senhor disse a Abrão: sai-te da tua terra, e da tua parentela, e da casa de teu pai, para a terra que eu te mostrarei.
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great, and be thou a blessing.
E far-te-ei uma grande nação, e abençoar-te-ei, e engrandecerei o teu nome; e tu serás uma benção.
3 And I will bless those who bless thee, and he who curses thee I will curse. And in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
E abençoarei os que te abençoarem, e amaldiçoarei os que te amaldiçoarem; e em ti serão benditas todas as famílias da terra.
4 So Abram went as Jehovah had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed out of Haran.
Assim partiu Abrão, como o Senhor lhe tinha dito, e foi Lot com ele: e era Abrão de idade de setenta e cinco anos, quando saiu de Haran.
5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran, and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan. And they came into the land of Canaan.
E tomou Abrão a Sarai, sua mulher, e a Lot, filho de seu irmão, e toda a sua fazenda, que haviam adquirido, e as almas que lhe acresceram em Haran: e sairam para irem à terra de Canaan; e vieram à terra de Canaan.
6 And Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
E passou Abrão por aquela terra até ao lugar de Sichem, até ao carvalho de Moreh; e estavam então os cananeus na terra.
7 And Jehovah appeared to Abram, and said, I will give this land to thy seed. And there he built an altar to Jehovah, who appeared to him.
E apareceu o Senhor a Abrão, e disse: Á tua semente darei esta terra. E edificou ali um altar ao Senhor, que lhe aparecera.
8 And he moved from there to the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Ai on the east. And there he built an altar to Jehovah, and called upon the name of Jehovah.
E moveu-se dali para a montanha à banda do Oriente de Bethel, e armou a sua tenda, tendo Bethel ao ocidente, e Ai ao Oriente; e edificou ali um altar ao Senhor, e invocou o nome do Senhor.
9 And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the South.
Depois caminhou Abrão dali, seguindo ainda para a banda do Sul.
10 And there was a famine in the land. And Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine was severe in the land.
E havia fome naquela terra: e desceu Abrão ao Egito, para peregrinar ali, porquanto a fome era grande na terra.
11 And it came to pass, when he came near to enter into Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou are a fair woman to look upon.
E aconteceu que, chegando ele para entrar no Egito, disse a Sarai, sua mulher: Ora bem sei que és mulher formosa à vista;
12 And it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife. And they will kill me, but they will save thee alive.
E será que, quando os egípcios te virem, dirão: Esta é sua mulher. E matar-me-ão a mim, e a ti te guardarão em vida
13 Say, I pray thee, thou are my sister, that it may be well with me for thy sake, and that my soul may live because of thee.
Dize, peço-te, que és minha irmã, para que me vá bem por tua causa, e que viva a minha alma por amor de ti.
14 And it came to pass, that, when Abram came into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
E aconteceu que, entrando Abrão no Egito, viram os egípcios a mulher, que era mui formosa.
15 And the princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh. And the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
E viram-na os príncipes do faraó, e gabaram-na diante do faraó: e foi a mulher tomada para casa do faraó.
16 And he dealt well with Abram for her sake. And he had sheep, and oxen, and he-donkeys, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and she-donkeys, and camels.
E fez bem a Abrão por amor dela; e ele teve ovelhas, e vacas, e jumentos, e servos e servas, e jumentas, e camelos.
17 And Jehovah plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife.
Feriu, porém, o Senhor o faraó com grandes pragas, e a sua casa, por causa de Sarai, mulher de Abrão.
18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou have done to me? Why did thou not tell me that she was thy wife?
Então chamou o faraó a Abrão, e disse: Que é isto que me fizeste? porque não me disseste que ela era tua mulher?
19 Why did thou say, She is my sister, so that I took her to be my wife? Now therefore behold thy wife. Take her, and go thy way.
Porque disseste: É minha irmã? de maneira que a houvera tomado por minha mulher: agora, pois, eis aqui tua mulher; toma-a e vai-te.
20 And Pharaoh gave men command concerning him. And they brought him on the way, and his wife, and all that he had.
E o faraó, deu ordens aos seus varões a seu respeito, e acompanharam-no a ele, e a sua mulher, e a tudo o que tinha.
