Genesis 12
1 Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and out of thy birthplace, and from thy father's house, unto the land that I will show thee.
Ora o Senhor disse a Abrão: Sae-te da tua terra, e da tua parentela, e da casa de teu pae, para a terra que eu te mostrarei.
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:
E far-te-hei uma grande nação, e abençoar-te-hei, e engrandecerei o teu nome; e tu serás uma benção.
3 And I will bless those that bless thee, and him that curseth thee, will I curse; 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 bemditas todas as familias da terra.
4 So Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken unto him, and Lot went with him; and Abram was seventy and five years old at his departure out of Charan.
Assim partiu Abrão, como o Senhor lhe tinha dito, e foi Lot com elle: e era Abrão de edade de setenta e cinco annos, quando saiu de Haran.
5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had acquired, and the persons that they had obtained in Charan; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and they came into the land of Canaan.
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 accresceram em Haran: e sairam para irem á terra de Canaan; e vieram á terra de Canaan.
6 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Shechem, unto the plain of Moreh; and the Canaanite was then in the land.
E passou Abrão por aquella terra até ao logar de Sichem, até ao carvalho de Moreh; e estavam então os Cananeos na terra.
7 And the Lord appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land. And he built there an altar unto the Lord, who had appeared unto him.
E appareceu o Senhor a Abrão, e disse: Á tua semente darei esta terra. E edificou ali um altar ao Senhor, que lhe apparecêra.
8 And he removed from there 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 built there an altar unto the Lord, and called upon the name of the Lord.
E moveu-se d'ali para a montanha á banda do Oriente de Bethel, e armou a sua tenda, tendo Bethel ao Occidente, e Ai ao Oriente; e edificou ali um altar ao Senhor, e invocou o nome do Senhor.
9 And Abram journeyed farther, still going on toward the south.
Depois caminhou Abrão d'ali, seguindo ainda para a banda do Sul.
10 And there arose a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.
E havia fome n'aquella terra: e desceu Abrão ao Egypto, 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 unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a woman of handsome appearance:
E aconteceu que, chegando elle para entrar no Egypto, disse a Sarai, sua mulher: Ora bem sei que és mulher formosa á vista;
12 And it may come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they will say, This is his wife; and they may kill me, but thee they will save alive.
E será que, quando os Egypcios te virem, dirão: Esta é sua mulher. E matar-me-hão a mim, e a ti te guardarão em vida
13 Say then, I pray thee, thou art my sister, that it may go well with me for thy sake, and my soul 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 was come into Egypt, that the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
E aconteceu que, entrando Abrão no Egypto, viram os Egypcios a mulher, que era mui formosa.
15 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
E viram-n'a os principes do Pharaó, e gabaram-n'a diante do Pharaó: e foi a mulher tomada para casa do Pharaó.
16 And he did well to Abram for her sake; and he received sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and she-asses, and camels.
E fez bem a Abrão por amor d'ella; e elle teve ovelhas, e vaccas, e jumentos, e servos e servas, e jumentas, e camelos.
17 But the Lord plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife.
Feriu, porém, o Senhor o Pharaó 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 unto me? Why didst thou not tell me that she is thy wife?
Então chamou o Pharaó a Abrão, e disse: Que é isto que me fizeste? porque não me disseste que ella era tua mulher?
19 Why saidst thou, She is my sister? and so I took her to me for a wife; now, therefore, behold, here is thy wife, take her, and go thy way.
Porque disseste: É minha irmã? de maneira que a houvera tomado por minha mulher: agora, pois, eis aqui tua mulher; toma-a e vae-te.
20 And Pharaoh commanded some men concerning him, who accompanied him and his wife, and all that he had.
E o Pharaó, deu ordens aos seus varões a seu respeito, e acompanharam-n'o a elle, e a sua mulher, e a tudo o que tinha.
