Gênesis 12
1 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.
Then Yahweh said to Abram, “Leave this country where you are now living. Leave your father’s clan and his family. Go to a land that I will show you.
2 E far-te-hei uma grande nação, e abençoar-te-hei, e engrandecerei o teu nome; e tu serás uma benção.
I will cause your descendants to become a large nation. I will bless you and cause you to become (famous/highly esteemed). What I do for you will be a blessing to others.
3 E abençoarei os que te abençoarem, e amaldiçoarei os que te amaldiçoarem; e em ti serão bemditas todas as familias da terra.
I will bless those who (bless/ask God to do good things for) you, and I will (curse/ask God to punish) those who do evil things to you. And because of what you do, groups of people all over the earth will receive blessings (OR, people will wish that God will bless others as much as he has blessed you).”
4 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.
So Abram left Haran [town], as Yahweh told him to do. Abram was 75 years old when he left there along with his wife, Sarai, and his nephew, Lot.
5 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.
Abram also took along all the possessions and slaves that they had accumulated/acquired in Haran [town], and they left there and went to Canaan land.
6 E passou Abrão por aquella terra até ao logar de Sichem, até ao carvalho de Moreh; e estavam então os Cananeos na terra.
In Canaan they traveled as far as Shechem [town] and camped by a huge tree called the tree of Moreh. The Canaan people-group were still living in that land.
7 E appareceu o Senhor a Abrão, e disse: Á tua semente darei esta terra. E edificou ali um altar ao Senhor, que lhe apparecêra.
Then Yahweh appeared to Abram and said to him, “I will give this land to your descendants.” Then Abram built a stone altar to offer a sacrifice to Yahweh because Yahweh had appeared to him.
8 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.
From Shechem, Abram and his family traveled to the hills that were east of Bethel [town]. Bethel [town] was to the west of where they set up their tent, and Ai [town] was further to the east. There he built another stone altar and offered a sacrifice and worshiped Yahweh there.
9 Depois caminhou Abrão d'ali, seguindo ainda para a banda do Sul.
Then they left there and started traveling south to the Negev [Desert].
10 E havia fome n'aquella terra: e desceu Abrão ao Egypto, para peregrinar ali, porquanto a fome era grande na terra.
There was (a famine/very little food to eat) in Canaan, so they went south to live in Egypt for a while.
11 E aconteceu que, chegando elle para entrar no Egypto, disse a Sarai, sua mulher: Ora bem sei que és mulher formosa á vista;
Just as they were about to enter Egypt, Abram said to his wife Sarai, “Listen, I know that you are a very beautiful woman.
12 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
When the people in Egypt see you, they will say, ‘This woman is his wife!’ and they will kill me in order to get you, but they will not kill you.
13 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.
So I ask you to tell them that you are my sister, so that because of you telling them that, they will (spare my life/not kill me).”
14 E aconteceu que, entrando Abrão no Egypto, viram os Egypcios a mulher, que era mui formosa.
And as soon as they arrived in Egypt, the people in Egypt saw that his wife was indeed very beautiful.
15 E viram-n'a os principes do Pharaó, e gabaram-n'a diante do Pharaó: e foi a mulher tomada para casa do Pharaó.
When the king’s officials saw her, they told the king how beautiful she was. And they took her to the king’s palace.
16 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.
The king treated Abram kindly because of Sarai, and he gave Abram many sheep and cattle and donkeys and male and female slaves and camels.
17 Feriu, porém, o Senhor o Pharaó com grandes pragas, e a sua casa, por causa de Sarai, mulher de Abrão.
But because the king had taken Sarai, Abram’s wife, Yahweh caused the king and the others in his household to be inflicted with terrible diseases.
18 Então chamou o Pharaó a Abrão, e disse: Que é isto que me fizeste? porque não me disseste que ella era tua mulher?
When the king realized why that was happening, he summoned Abram and said to him, “Why did you do this to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife?
19 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.
Why did you lie, saying she is your sister, with the result that I took her to be my wife? You should not have done that! So now take your wife, leave here and go!”
20 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.
Then the king told his officials/servants to take Abram and his wife and all his possessions out of Egypt.
