Genesis 12
1 Now the LORD said unto Abram: 'Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto the land that I will show thee.
Gospod je torej rekel Abramu: »Pojdi ven iz svoje dežele in iz svojega sorodstva in iz hiše svojega očeta v deželo, ki ti jo bom pokazal.
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.
Iz tebe bom naredil velik narod in blagoslovil te bom in tvoje ime naredil veliko in ti boš blagoslov.
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and him that curseth thee will I curse; and in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed.'
Blagoslovil bom tiste, ki te blagoslavljajo in preklel tistega, ki te preklinja, in v tebi bodo blagoslovljene vse družine zemlje.«
4 So Abram went, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him; and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
Tako je Abram odšel, kakor mu je Gospod spregovoril in Lot je šel z njim. Abram pa je bil star petinsedemdeset let, ko je odšel iz Harána.
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 into the land of Canaan they came.
Abram je vzel svojo ženo Sarájo in Lota, sina svojega brata ter vse njuno imetje, ki sta ga zbrala in duše, ki sta jih pridobila v Haránu in šli so, da gredo v kánaansko deželo in prišli so v kánaansko deželo.
6 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Shechem, unto the terebinth of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
Abram je šel skozi deželo do kraja Sihem, na Moréjevo ravnino. In takrat je bil v deželi Kánaanec.
7 And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said: 'Unto thy seed will I give this land'; and he builded there an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.
Gospod se je prikazal Abramu ter rekel: »To deželo bom dal tvojemu potomcu.« In tam je zgradil oltar Gospodu, ki se mu je prikazal.
8 And he removed from thence unto the mountain on the east of Beth-el, and pitched his tent, having Beth-el on the west, and Ai on the east; and he builded there an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD.
Od tam se je prestavil h gori na vzhodu Betela ter postavil svoj šotor in Betel je imel na zahodu, Aj pa na vzhodu. Tam je zgradil oltar Gospodu ter klical h Gospodovemu imenu.
9 And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the South.
Abram je potoval in še vedno šel proti jugu.
10 And there was a famine in the land; and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was sore in the land.
V deželi pa je bila lakota in Abram je odšel dol v Egipt, da tam začasno prebiva, kajti lakota v deželi je bila boleča.
11 And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife: 'Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon.
Toda pripetilo se je, ko je prišel blizu, da vstopi v Egipt, da je rekel svoji ženi Saráji: »Glej, torej vem, da si na pogled lepa ženska,
12 And it will come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they will say: This is his wife; and they will kill me, but thee they will keep alive.
zato se bo zgodilo, ko te bodo Egipčani zagledali, da bodo rekli: ›To je njegova žena‹ in bodo mene ubili, toda tebe bodo ohranili pri življenju.
13 Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister; that it may be well with me for thy sake, and that my soul may live because of thee.'
Reci, prosim te, [da] si moja sestra, da bo zaradi tebe lahko dobro z menoj in bo moja duša živela zaradi tebe.«
14 And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
Pripetilo se je, ko je Abram prišel v Egipt, da so Egipčani zagledali žensko, da je bila zelo lepa.
15 And the princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
Tudi faraonovi princi so jo videli in jo priporočili pred faraonom in ženska je bila vzeta v faraonovo hišo.
16 And he dealt well with Abram for her sake; and he had sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and she-asses, and camels.
In zaradi nje je [z] Abramom dobro ravnal, in imel je ovce, vole, osle, sluge, dekle, oslice in kamele.
17 And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.
Gospod pa je zaradi Abramove žene Saráje trpinčil faraona in njegovo hišo z velikimi nadlogami.
18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and said: 'What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?
Faraon je poklical Abrama ter mu rekel: »Kaj je to, kar si mi storil? Zakaj mi nisi povedal, da je bila tvoja žena?
19 Why saidst thou: She is my sister? so that I took her to be my wife; now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way.'
Zakaj si rekel: ›Moja sestra je?‹ Tako bi jo lahko vzel k sebi za ženo. Zdaj torej glej svojo ženo, vzemi jo in pojdi svojo pot.«
20 And Pharaoh gave men charge concerning him; and they brought him on the way, and his wife, and all that he had.
Faraon je glede njega zapovedal svojim ljudem in poslali so ga proč in njegovo ženo in vse, kar je imel.
