Gênesis 12
1 Ora o Senhor disse a Abrão: sai-te da tua terra, e da tua parentela, e da casa de teu pai, para a terra que eu te mostrarei.
Now the Lord said to Abram, Go out from your country and from your family and from your father's house, into the land to which I will be your guide:
2 E far-te-ei uma grande nação, e abençoar-te-ei, e engrandecerei o teu nome; e tu serás uma benção.
And I will make of you a great nation, blessing you and making 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 benditas todas as famílias da terra.
To them who are good to you will I give blessing, and on him who does you wrong will I put my curse: and you will become a name of blessing to all the families of the earth.
4 Assim partiu Abrão, como o Senhor lhe tinha dito, e foi Lot com ele: e era Abrão de idade de setenta e cinco anos, quando saiu de Haran.
So Abram went as the Lord had said to him, and Lot went with him: Abram was seventy-five years old when he went away from 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 acresceram em Haran: e sairam para irem à terra de Canaan; e vieram à terra de Canaan.
And Abram took Sarai, his wife, and Lot, his brother's son, and all their goods and the servants which they had got in Haran, and they went out to go to the land of Canaan.
6 E passou Abrão por aquela terra até ao lugar de Sichem, até ao carvalho de Moreh; e estavam então os cananeus na terra.
And Abram went through the land till he came to Shechem, to the holy tree of Moreh. At that time, the Canaanites were still living in the land.
7 E apareceu o Senhor a Abrão, e disse: Á tua semente darei esta terra. E edificou ali um altar ao Senhor, que lhe aparecera.
And the Lord came to Abram, and said, I will give all this land to your seed; then Abram made an altar there to the Lord who had let himself be seen by him.
8 E moveu-se dali para a montanha à banda do Oriente de Bethel, e armou a sua tenda, tendo Bethel ao ocidente, e Ai ao Oriente; e edificou ali um altar ao Senhor, e invocou o nome do Senhor.
And moving on from there to the mountain on the east of Beth-el, he put up his tent, having Beth-el on the west and Ai on the east: and there he made an altar and gave worship to the name of the Lord.
9 Depois caminhou Abrão dali, seguindo ainda para a banda do Sul.
And he went on, journeying still to the South.
10 E havia fome naquela terra: e desceu Abrão ao Egito, para peregrinar ali, porquanto a fome era grande na terra.
And because there was little food to be had in that land, he went down into Egypt.
11 E aconteceu que, chegando ele para entrar no Egito, disse a Sarai, sua mulher: Ora bem sei que és mulher formosa à vista;
Now when he came near to Egypt, he said to Sarai, his wife, Truly, you are a fair woman and beautiful to the eye;
12 E será que, quando os egípcios te virem, dirão: Esta é sua mulher. E matar-me-ão a mim, e a ti te guardarão em vida
And I am certain that when the men of Egypt see you, they will say, This is his wife: and they will put me to death and keep 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.
Say, then, that you are my sister, and so it will be well with me because of you, and my life will be kept safe on your account.
14 E aconteceu que, entrando Abrão no Egito, viram os egípcios a mulher, que era mui formosa.
And so it was that when Abram came into Egypt, the men of Egypt, looking on the woman, saw that she was fair.
15 E viram-na os príncipes do faraó, e gabaram-na diante do faraó: e foi a mulher tomada para casa do faraó.
And Pharaoh's great men, having seen her, said words in praise of her to Pharaoh, and she was taken into Pharaoh's house.
16 E fez bem a Abrão por amor dela; e ele teve ovelhas, e vacas, e jumentos, e servos e servas, e jumentas, e camelos.
And because of her, he was good to Abram, and he had sheep and oxen and asses, and men-servants and women-servants, and camels.
17 Feriu, porém, o Senhor o faraó com grandes pragas, e a sua casa, por causa de Sarai, mulher de Abrão.
And the Lord sent great troubles on Pharaoh's house because of Sarai, Abram's wife.
18 Então chamou o faraó a Abrão, e disse: Que é isto que me fizeste? porque não me disseste que ela era tua mulher?
Then Pharaoh sent for Abram, and said, What have you done to me? why did you not say 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 vai-te.
Why did you say that she was your sister? so that I took her for my wife: now, take your wife and go on your way.
20 E o faraó, deu ordens aos seus varões a seu respeito, e acompanharam-no a ele, e a sua mulher, e a tudo o que tinha.
And Pharaoh gave orders to his men, and they sent him on his way, with his wife and all he had.
