Genesis 12
1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew 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 thou shalt be 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 curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all 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 departed, 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 Sichem, unto the plain 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 there builded he 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 a mountain on the east of Beth-el, and pitched his tent, [having] Beth-el on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded 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] grievous 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 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This [is] his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee 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 my soul shall 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 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before 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 entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, 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 I might have taken her to me to 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 commanded [his] men concerning him: and they sent him away, 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.
