Genesis 12
1 Then the Lord said to Abram: “Depart from your land, and from your kindred, and from your father’s house, and come into the land that I will show you.
Empero Jehová había dicho a Abram: Vete de tu tierra, y de tu parentela, y de la casa de tu padre, a la tierra que yo te mostraré:
2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and magnify your name, and you will be blessed.
Y hacerte he en gran gente, y bendecirte he, y engrandeceré tu nombre, y serás bendición.
3 I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you, and in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.”
Y bendeciré a los que te bendijeren, y a los que te maldijeren maldeciré; y serán benditas en ti todas las familias de la tierra.
4 And so Abram departed just as the Lord had instructed him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.
Y fuése Abram, como Jehová le dijo, y fue con él Lot: y era Abram de edad de setenta y cinco años, cuando salió de Harán.
5 And he took his wife Sarai, and Lot, the son of his brother, and all the substance which they had come to possess, and the lives which they had acquired in Haran, and they departed in order to go to the land of Canaan. And when they arrived in it,
Y tomó Abram a Sarai su mujer, y a Lot hijo de su hermano, y toda su hacienda que habían ganado, y las almas que habían hecho en Harán, y salieron para ir a tierra de Canaán: y llegaron a tierra de Canaán.
6 Abram passed through the land even to the place of Shechem, as far as the famous steep valley. Now at that time, the Canaanite was in the land.
Y pasó Abram por aquella tierra hasta el lugar de Siquem, hasta el alcornoque de More: y el Cananeo estaba entonces en la tierra.
7 Then the Lord appeared to Abram, and he said to him, “To your offspring, I will give this land.” And there he built an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him.
Y apareció Jehová a Abram, y díjole: A tu simiente daré esta tierra. Y edificó allí altar a Jehová, que le había aparecido.
8 And passing on from there to a mountain, which was opposite the east of Bethel, he pitched his tent there, having Bethel to the west, and Hai on the east. He also built an altar there to the Lord, and he called upon his name.
Y pasóse de allí al monte, al oriente de Bet-el, y tendió allí su tienda, Bet-el al occidente, y Hai al oriente. Y edificó allí altar a Jehová, e invocó el nombre de Jehová.
9 And Abram traveled, going out and continuing further on, toward the south.
Y movió Abram de allí caminando, y yendo hacia el mediodía.
10 But a famine occurred in the land. And Abram descended to Egypt, to sojourn there. For famine prevailed over the land.
Y hubo hambre en la tierra, y descendió Abram a Egipto para peregrinar allá; porque era grave la hambre en la tierra.
11 And when he was close to entering Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai: “I know you to be a beautiful woman.
Y aconteció, que cuando llegó para entrar en Egipto, dijo a Sarai su mujer: He aquí ahora, yo conozco que eres mujer hermosa de vista:
12 And when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘She is his wife.’ And they will put me to death, and retain you.
Y será, que cuando te verán los Egipcios, dirán: Su mujer es. Y matarme han: y a ti darán la vida.
13 Therefore, I beg you to say that you are my sister, so that it may be well with me because of you, and so that my soul may live by your favor.”
Ahora pues, di que eres mi hermana, para que yo haya bien por causa tuya, y viva mi alma por amor de ti.
14 And so, when Abram had arrived in Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was exceedingly beautiful.
Y aconteció, que como entró Abram en Egipto, los Egipcios vieron la mujer que era hermosa en gran manera.
15 And the princes reported it to Pharaoh, and they praised her to him. And the woman was inducted into the house of Pharaoh.
Y viéronla los príncipes de Faraón, y alabáronla a Faraón, y fue llevada la mujer a casa de Faraón.
16 In truth, they treated Abram well because of her. And he had sheep and oxen and male donkeys, and men servants, and women servants, and female donkeys, and camels.
Y a Abram hizo bien por causa de ella, y tuvo ovejas, y vacas, y asnos, y siervos, y criadas, y asnas, y camellos.
17 But the Lord scourged Pharaoh and his house with great wounds because of Sarai, the wife of Abram.
Mas Jehová hirió a Faraón y a su casa de grandes plagas por causa de Sarai mujer de Abram.
18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and he said to him: “What is this that you have done to me? Why did you not tell me she was your wife?
Entonces Faraón llamó a Abram, y díjole: ¿Qué es esto que has hecho conmigo? ¿Por qué no me declaraste, que era tu mujer?
19 For what reason did you claim her to be your sister, so that I would take her to me as a wife? Now therefore, behold your mate, receive her and go.”
¿Por qué dijiste: Es mi hermana? y yo la tomé para mí por mujer. Ahora pues, he aquí tu mujer, tóma la, y vete.
20 And Pharaoh instructed his men about Abram. And they led him away with his wife and all that he had.
Entonces Faraón mandó acerca de él a varones, que le acompañaron, y a su mujer, y a todo lo que tenía.
