Genesis 12
1 Now the Lord said to Abram, Go out from your country and from your family and from your father's house, into the land to which I will be your guide:
Berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Abram: "Pergilah dari negerimu dan dari sanak saudaramu dan dari rumah bapamu ini ke negeri yang akan Kutunjukkan kepadamu;
2 And I will make of you a great nation, blessing you and making your name great; and you will be a blessing:
Aku akan membuat engkau menjadi bangsa yang besar, dan memberkati engkau serta membuat namamu masyhur; dan engkau akan menjadi berkat.
3 To them who are good to you will I give blessing, and on him who does you wrong will I put my curse: and you will become a name of blessing to all the families of the earth.
Aku akan memberkati orang-orang yang memberkati engkau, dan mengutuk orang-orang yang mengutuk engkau, dan olehmu semua kaum di muka bumi akan mendapat berkat."
4 So Abram went as the Lord had said to him, and Lot went with him: Abram was seventy-five years old when he went away from Haran.
Lalu pergilah Abram seperti yang difirmankan TUHAN kepadanya, dan Lotpun ikut bersama-sama dengan dia; Abram berumur tujuh puluh lima tahun, ketika ia berangkat dari Haran.
5 And Abram took Sarai, his wife, and Lot, his brother's son, and all their goods and the servants which they had got in Haran, and they went out to go to the land of Canaan.
Abram membawa Sarai, isterinya, dan Lot, anak saudaranya, dan segala harta benda yang didapat mereka dan orang-orang yang diperoleh mereka di Haran; mereka berangkat ke tanah Kanaan, lalu sampai di situ.
6 And Abram went through the land till he came to Shechem, to the holy tree of Moreh. At that time, the Canaanites were still living in the land.
Abram berjalan melalui negeri itu sampai ke suatu tempat dekat Sikhem, yakni pohon tarbantin di More. Waktu itu orang Kanaan diam di negeri itu.
7 And the Lord came to Abram, and said, I will give all this land to your seed; then Abram made an altar there to the Lord who had let himself be seen by him.
Ketika itu TUHAN menampakkan diri kepada Abram dan berfirman: "Aku akan memberikan negeri ini kepada keturunanmu." Maka didirikannya di situ mezbah bagi TUHAN yang telah menampakkan diri kepadanya.
8 And moving on from there to the mountain on the east of Beth-el, he put up his tent, having Beth-el on the west and Ai on the east: and there he made an altar and gave worship to the name of the Lord.
Kemudian ia pindah dari situ ke pegunungan di sebelah timur Betel. Ia memasang kemahnya dengan Betel di sebelah barat dan Ai di sebelah timur, lalu ia mendirikan di situ mezbah bagi TUHAN dan memanggil nama TUHAN.
9 And he went on, journeying still to the South.
Sesudah itu Abram berangkat dan makin jauh ia berjalan ke Tanah Negeb.
10 And because there was little food to be had in that land, he went down into Egypt.
Ketika kelaparan timbul di negeri itu, pergilah Abram ke Mesir untuk tinggal di situ sebagai orang asing, sebab hebat kelaparan di negeri itu.
11 Now when he came near to Egypt, he said to Sarai, his wife, Truly, you are a fair woman and beautiful to the eye;
Pada waktu ia akan masuk ke Mesir, berkatalah ia kepada Sarai, isterinya: "Memang aku tahu, bahwa engkau adalah seorang perempuan yang cantik parasnya.
12 And I am certain that when the men of Egypt see you, they will say, This is his wife: and they will put me to death and keep you.
Apabila orang Mesir melihat engkau, mereka akan berkata: Itu isterinya. Jadi mereka akan membunuh aku dan membiarkan engkau hidup.
13 Say, then, that you are my sister, and so it will be well with me because of you, and my life will be kept safe on your account.
Katakanlah, bahwa engkau adikku, supaya aku diperlakukan mereka dengan baik karena engkau, dan aku dibiarkan hidup oleh sebab engkau."
14 And so it was that when Abram came into Egypt, the men of Egypt, looking on the woman, saw that she was fair.
Sesudah Abram masuk ke Mesir, orang Mesir itu melihat, bahwa perempuan itu sangat cantik,
15 And Pharaoh's great men, having seen her, said words in praise of her to Pharaoh, and she was taken into Pharaoh's house.
dan ketika punggawa-punggawa Firaun melihat Sarai, mereka memuji-mujinya di hadapan Firaun, sehingga perempuan itu dibawa ke istananya.
16 And because of her, he was good to Abram, and he had sheep and oxen and asses, and men-servants and women-servants, and camels.
Firaun menyambut Abram dengan baik-baik, karena ia mengingini perempuan itu, dan Abram mendapat kambing domba, lembu sapi, keledai jantan, budak laki-laki dan perempuan, keledai betina dan unta.
17 And the Lord sent great troubles on Pharaoh's house because of Sarai, Abram's wife.
Tetapi TUHAN menimpakan tulah yang hebat kepada Firaun, demikian juga kepada seisi istananya, karena Sarai, isteri Abram itu.
18 Then Pharaoh sent for Abram, and said, What have you done to me? why did you not say that she was your wife?
Lalu Firaun memanggil Abram serta berkata: "Apakah yang kauperbuat ini terhadap aku? Mengapa tidak kauberitahukan, bahwa ia isterimu?
19 Why did you say that she was your sister? so that I took her for my wife: now, take your wife and go on your way.
Mengapa engkau katakan: dia adikku, sehingga aku mengambilnya menjadi isteriku? Sekarang, inilah isterimu, ambillah dan pergilah!"
20 And Pharaoh gave orders to his men, and they sent him on his way, with his wife and all he had.
Lalu Firaun memerintahkan beberapa orang untuk mengantarkan Abram pergi, bersama-sama dengan isterinya dan segala kepunyaannya.
