Genesis 12
1 And YHWH says to Abram, “Go for yourself, from your land, and from your family, and from the house of your father, to the land which I show you.
上主對亞巴郎說：「離開你的故鄉、你的家族和父家，往我指給你的地方去。
2 And I make you become a great nation, and bless you, and make your name great; and be a blessing.
我要使你成為一個大民族，我必祝福你，使你成名，成為一個福源。
3 And I bless those blessing you, and I curse him who is cursing you, and all families of the ground have been blessed in you.”
我要祝福那祝福你的人，咒罵那咒罵你的人；地上萬民都要因你獲得祝福。」
4 And Abram goes on, as YHWH has spoken to him, and Lot goes with him, and Abram [is] a son of seventy-five years in his going out from Haran.
亞巴郎遂照上主的吩咐起了身，羅特也同他一起走了。亞巴郎離開哈蘭時，已七十五歲。
5 And Abram takes his wife Sarai, and his brother’s son Lot, and all their substance that they have gained, and the persons that they have obtained in Haran; and they go out to go toward the land of Canaan; and they come to the land of Canaan.
他帶了妻子撒辣依、他兄弟的兒子羅特和他在哈蘭積蓄的財物，獲得的僕婢，一同往客納罕地去，終於到了客納罕地。
6 And Abram passes over into the land, to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh; and the Canaanite [is] then in the land.
亞巴郎經過那地，直到了舍根地摩勒橡樹區；當時客納罕人尚住在那地方。
7 And YHWH appears to Abram and says, “To your seed I give this land”; and there he builds an altar to YHWH, who has appeared to him.
上主顯現給亞巴郎說：「我要將這地方賜給你的後裔。」亞巴郎就在那裏給顯現於他的上主，築了一座祭壇。
8 And he removes from there toward a mountain at the east of Beth-El, and stretches out the tent (Beth-El at the west, and Hai at the east), and he builds an altar to YHWH there, and preaches in the Name of YHWH.
從那裏又遷移到貝特耳東面山區，在那裏搭了帳幕，西有貝特耳，東有哈依；他在那裏又為上主築了一座祭壇，呼求上主的名。
9 And Abram journeys, going on and journeying toward the south.
以後亞巴郎漸漸移往乃革布區。
10 And there is a famine in the land, and Abram goes down toward Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine [is] grievous in the land;
其時那地方起了饑荒，亞巴郎遂下到埃及，寄居在那裏，因為那地方飢荒十分嚴重。
11 and it comes to pass as he has drawn near to enter Egypt, that he says to his wife Sarai, “Now behold, I have known that you [are] a woman of beautiful appearance;
當他要進埃及時，對妻子撒辣依說：「我知道你是個貌美的女人；
12 and it has come to pass that the Egyptians see you, and they have said, This [is] his wife; and they have slain me, and you they keep alive:
埃及人見了你，必要說：這是他的妻子；他們定要殺我，讓你活著。
13 please say you [are] my sister, so that it is well with me because of you, and my soul has lived for your sake.”
所以請你說：你是我的妹妹，這樣我因了你而必獲優待，賴你的情面，保全我的生命。」
14 And it comes to pass, at the entering of Abram into Egypt, that the Egyptians see the woman that she [is] exceedingly beautiful;
果然，當亞巴郎一到了埃及，埃及人就注意了這女人實在美麗。
15 and princes of Pharaoh see her, and praise her to Pharaoh, and the woman is taken [to] Pharaoh’s house;
法郎的朝臣也看見了她，就在法郎前讚她美麗；這女人就被帶入法郎的宮中。
16 and to Abram he has done good because of her, and he has sheep and oxen, and male donkeys, and menservants, and handmaids, and female donkeys, and camels.
亞巴郎因了她果然蒙了優待，得了些牛羊、公驢、僕婢、母驢和駱駝。
17 And YHWH plagues Pharaoh and his house—great plagues—for the matter of Sarai, Abram’s wife.
但是，上主為了亞巴郎的妻子撒辣依的事，降下大難打擊了法郎和他全家。
18 And Pharaoh calls for Abram and says, “What [is] this you have done to me? Why have you not declared to me that she [is] your wife?
法郎遂叫亞巴郎來說：「你對我作的是什麼事﹖為什麼你沒有告訴我，她是你的妻子﹖
19 Why have you said, She [is] my sister, and I take her to myself for a wife? And now, behold, your wife, take and go.”
為什麼你說：她是我的妹妹，以致我娶了她做我的妻子﹖現在你的妻子在這裏，你帶她去罷! 」
20 And Pharaoh charges men concerning him, and they send him away, and his wife, and all that he has.
法郎於是吩咐人送走了亞巴郎和他的妻子以及他所有的一切。
