Genesis 12
1 Now Adonai said to Avram [Exalted father], “Leave your country, and your relatives, and your father’s house, and go to the land that I will show you.
Empero Jehová había dicho a Abram: Vete de tu tierra, y de tu parentela, y de la casa de tu padre, a la tierra que yo te mostraré:
2 I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing.
Y hacerte he en gran gente, y bendecirte he, y engrandeceré tu nombre, y serás bendición.
3 I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you.”
Y bendeciré a los que te bendijeren, y a los que te maldijeren maldeciré; y serán benditas en ti todas las familias de la tierra.
4 So Avram [Exalted father] went out, as Adonai had told him. Lot [Veil, Covering] went with him. Avram [Exalted father] was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran [Mountaineer].
Y fuése Abram, como Jehová le dijo, y fue con él Lot: y era Abram de edad de setenta y cinco años, cuando salió de Harán.
5 Avram [Exalted father] took Sarai [Mockery] his wife, Lot [Veil, Covering] his brother’s son, all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people whom they had acquired in Haran [Mountaineer], and they went to go into the land of Canaan [Humbled]. They entered into the land of Canaan [Humbled].
Y tomó Abram a Sarai su mujer, y a Lot hijo de su hermano, y toda su hacienda que habían ganado, y las almas que habían hecho en Harán, y salieron para ir a tierra de Canaán: y llegaron a tierra de Canaán.
6 Avram [Exalted father] passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. The Canaanites [Descendants of Humbled] were in the land, then.
Y pasó Abram por aquella tierra hasta el lugar de Siquem, hasta el alcornoque de More: y el Cananeo estaba entonces en la tierra.
7 Adonai appeared to Avram [Exalted father] and said, “I will give this land to your seed.” He built an altar there to Adonai, who had appeared to him.
Y apareció Jehová a Abram, y díjole: A tu simiente daré esta tierra. Y edificó allí altar a Jehová, que le había aparecido.
8 He left from there to go to the mountain on the east of Beth-el [House of God] and pitched his tent, having Beth-el [House of God] on the west, and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to Adonai and called on Adonai’s name.
Y pasóse de allí al monte, al oriente de Bet-el, y tendió allí su tienda, Bet-el al occidente, y Hai al oriente. Y edificó allí altar a Jehová, e invocó el nombre de Jehová.
9 Avram [Exalted father] traveled, still going on toward the South.
Y movió Abram de allí caminando, y yendo hacia el mediodía.
10 There was a famine in the land. Avram [Exalted father] went down into Egypt [Abode of slavery] to live as a foreigner there, for the famine was severe in the land.
Y hubo hambre en la tierra, y descendió Abram a Egipto para peregrinar allá; porque era grave la hambre en la tierra.
11 When he had come near to enter Egypt [Abode of slavery], he said to Sarai [Mockery] his wife, “See now, I know that you are a beautiful woman to look at.
Y aconteció, que cuando llegó para entrar en Egipto, dijo a Sarai su mujer: He aquí ahora, yo conozco que eres mujer hermosa de vista:
12 It will happen, when the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] see you, that they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ They will kill me, but they will save you alive.
Y será, que cuando te verán los Egipcios, dirán: Su mujer es. Y matarme han: y a ti darán la vida.
13 Please say that you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that my soul may live because of you.”
Ahora pues, di que eres mi hermana, para que yo haya bien por causa tuya, y viva mi alma por amor de ti.
14 When Avram [Exalted father] had come into Egypt [Abode of slavery], Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] saw that the woman was very beautiful.
Y aconteció, que como entró Abram en Egipto, los Egipcios vieron la mujer que era hermosa en gran manera.
15 The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.
Y viéronla los príncipes de Faraón, y alabáronla a Faraón, y fue llevada la mujer a casa de Faraón.
16 He dealt well with Avram [Exalted father] for her sake. He had sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.
Y a Abram hizo bien por causa de ella, y tuvo ovejas, y vacas, y asnos, y siervos, y criadas, y asnas, y camellos.
17 Adonai afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai [Mockery], Avram [Exalted father]’s wife.
Mas Jehová hirió a Faraón y a su casa de grandes plagas por causa de Sarai mujer de Abram.
18 Pharaoh called Avram [Exalted father] and said, “What is this that you have done to me? Why didn’t you tell me that she was your wife?
Entonces Faraón llamó a Abram, y díjole: ¿Qué es esto que has hecho conmigo? ¿Por qué no me declaraste, que era tu mujer?
19 Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her to be my wife? Now therefore, see your wife, take her, and go your way.”
¿Por qué dijiste: Es mi hermana? y yo la tomé para mí por mujer. Ahora pues, he aquí tu mujer, tóma la, y vete.
20 Pharaoh enjoined men concerning him, and they escorted him away with his wife and all that he had.
Entonces Faraón mandó acerca de él a varones, que le acompañaron, y a su mujer, y a todo lo que tenía.
