Gênesis 12
1 O SENHOR disse a Abrão: “Sai da tua terra, e da tua parentela, e da casa de teu pai, para terra que eu te mostrarei.
Then the Lord said to Abram: “Depart from your land, and from your kindred, and from your father’s house, and come into the land that I will show you.
2 E farei de ti uma grande nação, e te abençoarei, e engrandecerei o teu nome, e tu serás uma bênção.
And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and magnify your name, and you will be blessed.
3 E abençoarei os que te abençoarem, e amaldiçoarei os que te amaldiçoarem; e em ti todas as famílias da terra serão benditas.”
I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you, and in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.”
4 Assim se foi Abrão, como o SENHOR lhe dissera; e Ló foi com ele. Abrão tinha setenta e cinco anos de idade quando saiu de Harã.
And so Abram departed just as the Lord had instructed him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.
5 E Abrão tomou a Sarai, sua mulher, e a Ló, filho de seu irmão, e todos os seus pertences que haviam ganhado, e as pessoas que eles haviam adquirido em Harã, e saíram para ir à terra de Canaã; e à terra de Canaã chegaram.
And he took his wife Sarai, and Lot, the son of his brother, and all the substance which they had come to possess, and the lives which they had acquired in Haran, and they departed in order to go to the land of Canaan. And when they arrived in it,
6 E passou Abrão por aquela terra até o lugar de Siquém, até o carvalho de Moré; e os cananeus estavam então na terra.
Abram passed through the land even to the place of Shechem, as far as the famous steep valley. Now at that time, the Canaanite was in the land.
7 E o SENHOR apareceu a Abrão, e lhe disse: À tua descendência darei esta terra. E ele edificou ali um altar ao SENHOR, que lhe havia aparecido.
Then the Lord appeared to Abram, and he said to him, “To your offspring, I will give this land.” And there he built an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him.
8 E passou-se dali a um monte ao oriente de Betel, e estendeu sua tenda, tendo a Betel ao ocidente e Ai ao oriente: e edificou ali altar ao SENHOR e invocou o nome do SENHOR.
And passing on from there to a mountain, which was opposite the east of Bethel, he pitched his tent there, having Bethel to the west, and Hai on the east. He also built an altar there to the Lord, and he called upon his name.
9 E moveu Abrão dali, caminhando e indo até o Sul.
And Abram traveled, going out and continuing further on, toward the south.
10 E houve fome na terra, e desceu Abrão ao Egito para peregrinar ali; porque era grande a fome na terra.
But a famine occurred in the land. And Abram descended to Egypt, to sojourn there. For famine prevailed over the land.
11 E aconteceu que quando estava para entrar no Egito, disse a Sarai sua mulher: Eis que, agora conheço que és mulher bela à vista;
And when he was close to entering Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai: “I know you to be a beautiful woman.
12 E será que quando te houverem visto os egípcios, dirão: Sua mulher é: e matarão a mim, e a ti te preservarão a vida.
And when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘She is his wife.’ And they will put me to death, and retain you.
13 Agora, pois, dize que és minha irmã, para que eu vá bem por tua causa, e viva minha alma por causa de ti.
Therefore, I beg you to say that you are my sister, so that it may be well with me because of you, and so that my soul may live by your favor.”
14 E aconteceu que, quando entrou Abrão no Egito, os egípcios viram a mulher que era bela em grande maneira.
And so, when Abram had arrived in Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was exceedingly beautiful.
15 Viram-na também os príncipes de Faraó, e a elogiaram; e foi levada a mulher a casa de Faraó:
And the princes reported it to Pharaoh, and they praised her to him. And the woman was inducted into the house of Pharaoh.
16 E fez bem a Abrão por causa dela; e teve ovelhas, e vacas, e asnos, e servos, e criadas, e asnas e camelos.
In truth, they treated Abram well because of her. And he had sheep and oxen and male donkeys, and men servants, and women servants, and female donkeys, and camels.
17 Mas o SENHOR feriu a Faraó e à sua casa com grandes pragas, por causa de Sarai mulher de Abrão.
But the Lord scourged Pharaoh and his house with great wounds because of Sarai, the wife of Abram.
18 Então Faraó chamou a Abrão e lhe disse: Que é isto que fizeste comigo? Por que não me declaraste que era tua mulher?
And Pharaoh called Abram, and he said to him: “What is this that you have done to me? Why did you not tell me she was your wife?
19 Por que disseste: “É minha irmã”, pondo-me em risco de tomá-la para mim por mulher? Agora, pois, eis aqui tua mulher, toma-a e vai-te.
For what reason did you claim her to be your sister, so that I would take her to me as a wife? Now therefore, behold your mate, receive her and go.”
20 Então Faraó deu ordem a seus homens acerca de Abrão; e lhe acompanharam, e à sua mulher com tudo o que tinha.
And Pharaoh instructed his men about Abram. And they led him away with his wife and all that he had.
