Postanak 12
1 I reèe Gospod Avramu: idi iz zemlje svoje i od roda svojega i iz doma oca svojega u zemlju koju æu ti ja pokazati.
And the Lord said to Abram: Go forth out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and out of thy father’s house, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.
2 I uèiniæu od tebe velik narod, i blagosloviæu te, i ime tvoje proslaviæu, i ti æeš biti blagoslov.
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and magnify thy name, and thou shalt be blessed.
3 Blagosloviæu one koji tebe uzblagosiljaju, i prokleæu one koji tebe usproklinju; i u tebi æe biti blagoslovena sva plemena na zemlji.
I will bless them that bless thee, and curse them that curse thee, and IN THEE shall all the kindred of the earth be blessed:
4 Tada poðe Avram, kao što mu kaza Gospod, i s njim poðe Lot. A bješe Avramu sedamdeset i pet godina kad poðe iz Harana.
So Abram went out as the Lord had commanded him, and Lot went with him: Abram was seventy-five years old when he went forth from Haran.
5 I uze Avram Saru ženu svoju i Lota sina brata svojega sa svijem blagom koje bjehu stekli i s dušama koje bjehu dobili u Haranu; i poðoše u zemlju Hanansku, i doðoše u nju.
And he took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all the substance which they had gathered, and the souls which they had gotten in Haran: and they went out to go into the land of Chanaan. And when they were come into it,
6 I proðe Avram tu zemlju do mjesta Sihema i do ravnice Moreške; a bijahu tada Hananeji u toj zemlji.
Abram passed through the country into the place of Sichem, as far as the noble vale: now the Chanaanite was at that time in the land.
7 I javi se Gospod Avramu i reèe: tvojemu sjemenu daæu zemlju ovu. I Avram naèini ondje žrtvenik Gospodu, koji mu se javio.
And the Lord appeared to Abram, and said to him: To thy seed will I give this land. And he built there an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him.
8 Poslije otide odande na brdo koje je prema istoku od Vetilja, i ondje razape šator svoj, te mu Vetilj bješe sa zapada a Gaj s istoka; i ondje naèini Gospodu žrtvenik, i prizva ime Gospodnje.
And passing on from thence to a mountain, that was on the east side of Bethel, he there pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east; he built there also an altar to the Lord, and called upon his name.
9 Odande otide Avram dalje iduæi na jug.
And Abram went forward, going, and proceeding on to the south.
10 Ali nasta glad u onoj zemlji, te Avram siðe u Misir da se ondje skloni; jer glad bješe velika u onoj zemlji.
And there came a famine in the country; and Abram went down into Egypt, to sojourn there: for the famine was very grievous in the land.
11 A kad se približi da veæ uðe u Misir, reèe Sari ženi svojoj: gle, znam da si žena lijepa u licu.
And when he was near to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife: I know that thou art a beautiful woman:
12 Zato kad te vide Misirci reæi æe: ovo mu je žena. Pa æe me ubiti, a tebe æe ostaviti u životu.
And that when the Egyptians shall see thee, they will say: She is his wife: and they will kill me, and keep thee.
13 Nego hajde kaži da si mi sestra, te æe meni biti dobro tebe radi i ostaæu u životu uz tebe.
Say, therefore, I pray thee, that thou art my sister: that I may be well used for thee, and that my soul may live for thy sake.
14 I kad doðe Avram u Misir, vidješe Misirci ženu da je vrlo lijepa.
And when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians saw the woman that she was very beautiful.
15 I vidješe je knezovi Faraonovi, i hvališe je pred Faraonom. I uzeše je u dvor Faraonov.
And the princes told Pharao, and praised her before him: and the woman was taken into the house of Pharao.
16 I on èinjaše dobro Avramu nje radi, te imaše ovaca i goveda i magaraca i sluga i sluškinja i magarica i kamila.
And they used Abram well for her sake. And he had sheep and oxen, and he asses, and men servants and maid servants, and she asses, and camels.
17 Ali Gospod pusti velika zla na Faraona i na dom njegov radi Sare žene Avramove.
But the Lord scourged Pharao and his house with most grievous stripes for Sarai, Abram’s wife.
18 Tada dozva Faraon Avrama i reèe mu: šta mi to uèini? zašto mi nijesi kazao da ti je žena?
And Pharao called Abram, and said to him: What is this that thou hast done to me? Why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?
19 Zašto si kazao: sestra mi je? te je uzeh za ženu. Sad eto ti žene, uzmi je, pa idi.
For what cause didst thou say, she was thy sister, that I might take her to my wife? Now, therefore, there is thy wife, take her, and go thy way.
20 I Faraon zapovjedi ljudima za nj, te ga ispratiše i ženu njegovu i što god imaše.
And Pharao gave his men orders concerning Abram: and they led him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
