Genesis 12
1 Now Yahweh said to Abram, “Go from your country, and from your relatives, and from your father's household, to the land that I will show you.
Jahve reče Abramu: “Idi iz zemlje svoje, iz zavičaja i doma očinskog, u krajeve koje ću ti pokazati.
2 I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, and you will be a blessing.
Velik ću narod od tebe učiniti, blagoslovit ću te, ime ću ti uzveličati, i sam ćeš biti blagoslov.
3 I will bless those who bless you, but whoever dishonors you I will curse. Through you will all the families of the earth be blessed.”
Blagoslivljat ću one koji te blagoslivljali budu, koji te budu kleli, njih ću proklinjati; sva plemena na zemlji tobom će se blagoslivljati.”
4 So Abram went, as Yahweh had told him to do, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran.
Abram se zaputi kako mu je Jahve rekao. S njime krenu i Lot. Abramu je bilo sedamdeset i pet godina kad je otišao iz Harana.
5 Abram took Sarai, his wife, Lot, his brother's son, all their possessions that they had accumulated, and the people that they had acquired in Haran. They left to go into the land of Canaan, and came to the land of Canaan.
Abram uze sa sobom svoju ženu Saraju, svoga bratića Lota, svu imovinu što su je namakli i svu čeljad koju su stekli u Haranu te svi pođu u zemlju kanaansku. Kad su stigli u Kanaan,
6 Abram passed through the land as far as Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time the Canaanites lived in the land.
Abram prođe zemljom do mjesta Šekema - do hrasta More. Kanaanci su onda bili u zemlji.
7 Yahweh appeared to Abram, and said, “To your descendants I will give this land.” So there Abram built an altar to Yahweh, who had appeared to him.
Jahve se javi Abramu pa mu reče: “Tvome ću potomstvu dati ovu zemlju.” Abram tu podigne žrtvenik Jahvi koji mu se objavio.
8 From there he moved to the hill country to the east of Bethel, where he pitched his tent, with Bethel to the west and Ai to the east. There he built an altar to Yahweh and called on the name of Yahweh.
Odatle prijeđe u brdoviti kraj, na istok od Betela. Svoj šator postavi između Betela na zapadu i Aja na istoku. Ondje podigne žrtvenik Jahvi i zazva ime Jahvino.
9 Then Abram continued journeying, going toward the Negev.
Od postaje do postaje Abram se pomicao prema Negebu.
10 There was a famine in the land, so Abram went down into Egypt to stay, for the famine was severe in the land.
Ali kad je zemljom zavladala glad, Abram se spusti u Egipat da ondje proboravi, jer je velika glad harala zemljom.
11 When he was about to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, “See here, I know that you are a beautiful woman.
Kad je bio na ulazu u Egipat, reče svojoj ženi Saraji: “Znam da si lijepa žena.
12 When the Egyptians see you they will say, 'This is his wife,' and they will kill me, but they will keep you alive.
Kad te Egipćani vide, reći će: 'To je njegova žena', i mene će ubiti, a tebe na životu ostaviti.
13 Say that you are my sister, so that it may be well with me because of you, and so that my life will be spared because of you.”
Nego reci da si mi sestra, tako da i meni bude zbog tebe dobro i da, iz obzira prema tebi, poštede moj život.”
14 It came about that when Abram entered into Egypt, the Egyptians saw that Sarai was very beautiful.
Zbilja, kad je Abram ušao u Egipat, Egipćani vide da je žena veoma lijepa.
15 The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh, and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's household.
Vide je faraonovi dvorani pa je pohvale faraonu i odvedu ženu na faraonov dvor.
16 Pharaoh treated Abram well for her sake, and gave him sheep, oxen, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.
Abramu pođe dobro zbog nje; steče on stoke i goveda, magaraca, slugu i sluškinja, magarica i deva.
17 Then Yahweh afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife.
Ali Jahve udari faraona i njegov dom velikim nevoljama zbog Abramove žene Saraje.
18 Pharaoh summoned Abram, and said, “What is this that you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife?
I faraon pozva Abrama pa reče: “Što si mi to učinio? Zašto mi nisi kazao da je ona tvoja žena?
19 Why did you say, 'She is my sister,' so that I took her to be my wife? Now therefore, here is your wife. Take her, and go your way.”
Zašto si rekao: 'Ona mi je sestra', pa je ja uzeh sebi za ženu? A sad, evo ti žene; uzmi je i hajde!”
20 Then Pharaoh gave orders to his men concerning him, and they sent him away, along with his wife and all that he had.
Faraon ga onda preda momcima, a oni ga otprave s njegovom ženom i sa svime što bijaše njegovo.
