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.
Now Adonai said to Avram [Exalted father], “Leave your country, and your relatives, and your father’s house, and go to 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.
I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing.
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 I will curse him who curses you. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you.”
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.
So Avram [Exalted father] went out, as Adonai had told him. Lot [Veil, Covering] went with him. Avram [Exalted father] was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran [Mountaineer].
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.
Avram [Exalted father] took Sarai [Mockery] his wife, Lot [Veil, Covering] his brother’s son, all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people whom they had acquired in Haran [Mountaineer], and they went to go into the land of Canaan [Humbled]. They entered into the land of Canaan [Humbled].
6 E passou Abrão por aquela terra até o lugar de Siquém, até o carvalho de Moré; e os cananeus estavam então na terra.
Avram [Exalted father] passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. The Canaanites [Descendants of Humbled] were in the land, then.
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.
Adonai appeared to Avram [Exalted father] and said, “I will give this land to your seed.” He built an altar there to Adonai, 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.
He left from there to go to the mountain on the east of Beth-el [House of God] and pitched his tent, having Beth-el [House of God] on the west, and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to Adonai and called on Adonai’s name.
9 E moveu Abrão dali, caminhando e indo até o Sul.
Avram [Exalted father] traveled, still going 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.
There was a famine in the land. Avram [Exalted father] went down into Egypt [Abode of slavery] to live as a foreigner there, for the famine was severe in 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;
When he had come near to enter Egypt [Abode of slavery], he said to Sarai [Mockery] his wife, “See now, I know that you are a beautiful woman to look at.
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.
It will happen, when the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] see you, that they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ They will kill me, but they will save you alive.
13 Agora, pois, dize que és minha irmã, para que eu vá bem por tua causa, e viva minha alma por causa de ti.
Please say that you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that my soul may live because of you.”
14 E aconteceu que, quando entrou Abrão no Egito, os egípcios viram a mulher que era bela em grande maneira.
When Avram [Exalted father] had come into Egypt [Abode of slavery], Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] saw that the woman was very beautiful.
15 Viram-na também os príncipes de Faraó, e a elogiaram; e foi levada a mulher a casa de Faraó:
The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.
16 E fez bem a Abrão por causa dela; e teve ovelhas, e vacas, e asnos, e servos, e criadas, e asnas e camelos.
He dealt well with Avram [Exalted father] for her sake. He had sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, 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.
Adonai afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai [Mockery], Avram [Exalted father]’s wife.
18 Então Faraó chamou a Abrão e lhe disse: Que é isto que fizeste comigo? Por que não me declaraste que era tua mulher?
Pharaoh called Avram [Exalted father] and said, “What is this that you have done to me? Why didn’t you tell me that 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.
Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her to be my wife? Now therefore, see your wife, take her, and go your way.”
20 Então Faraó deu ordem a seus homens acerca de Abrão; e lhe acompanharam, e à sua mulher com tudo o que tinha.
Pharaoh enjoined men concerning him, and they escorted him away with his wife and all that he had.
