Genesis 12
1 And Jehovah had said to Abram, Go out of thy land, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, to the land that I will shew 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 bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be 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 them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee; and in thee shall all 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 And Abram departed as Jehovah had said 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 possessions that they had acquired, and the souls that they had obtained in Haran, and they went out to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
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, Unto thy seed will I give this land. And there he built an altar to Jehovah who had 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 removed thence towards the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, [having] Bethel toward the west, and Ai toward the east; and there he built an altar to Jehovah, and called on 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 moved onward, 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 to Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine was grievous 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 was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a woman fair 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 will come to pass when the Egyptians see thee, that they will say, She is his wife; and they will slay me, and 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 art my sister, that it may be well with me on thy account, and 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 when Abram came into Egypt, that 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 treated Abram well on her account; and he had sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and bondmen, and bondwomen, and she-asses, 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 thou hast done to me? Why didst 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 didst thou say, She is my sister, so that I took her as my wife. And now, behold, there is thy wife: take [her], and go away.
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 commanded [his] men concerning him, and they sent him away, 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.
