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.
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.
2 E far-te-hei uma grande nação, e abençoar-te-hei, e engrandecerei o teu nome; e tu serás uma benção.
I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, and you will be a blessing.
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 you, but whoever dishonors you I will curse. Through you will all the families of the earth be blessed.”
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 went, as Yahweh had told him to do, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran.
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 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.
6 E passou Abrão por aquella terra até ao logar de Sichem, até ao carvalho de Moreh; e estavam então os Cananeos na terra.
Abram passed through the land as far as Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time the Canaanites lived in the 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.
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.
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 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.
9 Depois caminhou Abrão d'ali, seguindo ainda para a banda do Sul.
Then Abram continued journeying, going toward the Negev.
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 in the land, so Abram went down into Egypt to stay, for the famine was severe in the land.
11 E aconteceu que, chegando elle para entrar no Egypto, disse a Sarai, sua mulher: Ora bem sei que és mulher formosa á vista;
When he was about to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, “See here, I know that you are a 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 Egyptians see you they will say, 'This is his wife,' and they will kill me, but they will keep you alive.
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.
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.”
14 E aconteceu que, entrando Abrão no Egypto, viram os Egypcios a mulher, que era mui formosa.
It came about that when Abram entered into Egypt, the Egyptians saw that Sarai was 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.
The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh, and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's household.
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.
Pharaoh treated Abram well for her sake, and gave him sheep, oxen, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.
17 Feriu, porém, o Senhor o Pharaó com grandes pragas, e a sua casa, por causa de Sarai, mulher de Abrão.
Then Yahweh afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife.
18 Então chamou o Pharaó a Abrão, e disse: Que é isto que me fizeste? porque não me disseste que ella era tua mulher?
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?
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 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.”
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 Pharaoh gave orders to his men concerning him, and they sent him away, along with his wife and all that he had.
