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 had said unto Abram, Get you out of your country, and from your kindred, and from your father's house, unto a land that I will show you:
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, and I will bless you, and make your name great; and you shall 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.
And I will bless them that bless you, and curse him that curses you: and in you shall all families of the earth be blessed.
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 departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of 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 substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had got in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
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 passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then 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 appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto your seed will I give this land: and there built he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto 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 he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he built an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD.
9 Depois caminhou Abrão dali, seguindo ainda para a banda do Sul.
And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.
10 E havia fome naquela terra: e desceu Abrão ao Egito, para peregrinar ali, porquanto a fome era grande na terra.
And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.
11 E aconteceu que, chegando ele para entrar no Egito, disse a Sarai, sua mulher: Ora bem sei que és mulher formosa à vista;
And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that you are a fair woman to look upon:
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
Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see you, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save 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, I pray you, you are my sister: that it may be well with me for your sake; and my soul shall live because of you.
14 E aconteceu que, entrando Abrão no Egito, viram os egípcios a mulher, que era mui formosa.
And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
15 E viram-na os príncipes do faraó, e gabaram-na diante do faraó: e foi a mulher tomada para casa do faraó.
The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman 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 he pleaded Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and male servants, and maidservants, and she asses, 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 plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues 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?
And Pharaoh called Abram and said, What is this that you have done unto 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 vai-te.
Why said you, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold your wife, take her, and go 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 commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
