Genesis 12
1 Then the LORD said to Abram, “Leave your country, your kindred, and your father’s household, and go to the land I will show you.
Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Ābramu: izej no savas zemes un no savas dzimtenes un no sava tēva nama uz to zemi, ko Es tev rādīšu.
2 I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.
Un Es tevi darīšu par lielu tautu un tevi svētīšu un darīšu tavu vārdu lielu, un tu būsi par svētību.
3 I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you; and all the families of the earth will be blessed through you.”
Un Es svētīšu tos, kas tevi svētī, un nolādēšu tos, kas tevi lād, un iekš tevis visas ciltis virs zemes taps svētītas.
4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had directed him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran.
Un Ābrams aizgāja, kā Tas Kungs tam bija sacījis, un Lats gāja tam līdz. Un Ābrams bija septiņdesmit un pieci gadus vecs, kad viņš no Hāranas izgāja.
5 And Abram took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, and all the possessions and people they had acquired in Haran, and set out for the land of Canaan. When they came to the land of Canaan,
Un Ābrams ņēma Sāraī, savu sievu, un Latu, savu brālēnu, un visu savu mantu, ko tie bija mantojuši, un tās dvēseles, ko tie Hāranā bija dabūjuši, un tie izgāja, ka ietu uz Kanaāna zemi, un tie nonāca Kanaāna zemē.
6 Abram traveled through the land as far as the site of the Oak of Moreh at Shechem. And at that time the Canaanites were in the land.
Un Ābrams pārstaigāja to zemi līdz Šehemes vietai, līdz Mores ozolam; un Kanaānieši bija to laiku tai zemē.
7 Then the LORD appeared to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your offspring.” So Abram built an altar there to the LORD, who had appeared to him.
Tad Tas Kungs parādījās Ābramam un sacīja: tavam dzimumam Es došu šo zemi; un viņš tur uztaisīja altāri Tam Kungam, kas viņam bija parādījies.
8 From there Abram moved on to the hill country east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel to the west and Ai to the east. There he built an altar to the LORD, and he called on the name of the LORD.
Un no turienes viņš cēlās uz tiem kalniem Bētelei pret rītiem, un uzcēla savu telti, ka Bētele bija pret vakariem un Aja pret austruma pusi, un uztaisīja tur Tam Kungam altāri un piesauca Tā Kunga vārdu.
9 And Abram journeyed on toward the Negev.
Un Ābrams cēlās un gāja iedams uz dienvidu(Negebu) pusi.
10 Now there was a famine in the land. So Abram went down to Egypt to live there for a while because the famine was severe.
Un tanī zemē bija bads, un Ābrams nogāja uz Ēģipti, tur mist, jo tas bads bija grūts tanī zemē.
11 As he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, “Look, I know that you are a beautiful woman,
Un notikās, kad bija nonācis tuvu pie Ēģiptes, tad viņš sacīja uz Sāraī, savu sievu: redzi, es zinu, ka tu no vaiga esi skaista sieva.
12 and when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ Then they will kill me but will let you live.
Un kad ēģiptieši tevi redzēs, tad tie sacīs: šī ir viņa sieva, - un mani nokaus, un tevi atstās dzīvu.
13 Please say you are my sister, so that I will be treated well for your sake, and on account of you my life will be spared.”
Saki jel, ka tu mana māsa, lai man labi klājās tevis dēļ, un mana dvēsele tevis dēļ paliek dzīva.
14 So when Abram entered Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.
Kad nu Ābrams nāca Ēģiptes zemē, tad ēģiptieši redzēja to sievu, ka tā bija ļoti skaista.
15 When Pharaoh’s officials saw Sarai, they commended her to him, and she was taken into the palace of Pharaoh.
Un Faraona lielkungi viņu redzēja, un to slavēja Faraona priekšā, un tā sieva tapa ņemta Faraona namā.
16 He treated Abram well on her account, and Abram acquired sheep and cattle, male and female donkeys, menservants and maidservants, and camels.
Un šis Ābramam darīja labu viņas dēļ; un tam bija avis un vērši un ēzeļi un kalpi un kalpones un ēzeļa mātes un kamieļi.
17 The LORD, however, afflicted Pharaoh and his household with severe plagues because of Abram’s wife Sarai.
Bet Tas Kungs mocīja Faraonu un viņa namu ar lielām mocībām, Sāraī, Ābrama sievas, dēļ.
18 So Pharaoh summoned Abram and asked, “What have you done to me? Why didn’t you tell me she was your wife?
Tad Faraons aicināja Ābramu un sacīja: kam tu man to esi darījis? Kāpēc tu man neesi sacījis, ka šī tava sieva?
19 Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her as my wife? Now then, here is your wife. Take her and go!”
Kāpēc tu sacīji, ka šī tava māsa? Jo es viņu sev ņēmu par sievu. Un nu redzi, še tava sieva, ņem viņu un ej.
20 Then Pharaoh gave his men orders concerning Abram, and they sent him away with his wife and all his possessions.
Un Faraons pavēlēja par viņu saviem vīriem, un tie to izvadīja un viņa sievu un visu, kas tam bija.
