< 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.
Now YHWH had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will 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 make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 Blagosloviæu one koji tebe uzblagosiljaju, i prokleæu one koji tebe usproklinju; i u tebi æe biti blagoslovena sva plemena na zemlji.
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families 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 departed, as YHWH had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of 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 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 gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
6 I proðe Avram tu zemlju do mjesta Sihema i do ravnice Moreške; a bijahu tada Hananeji u toj zemlji.
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 I javi se Gospod Avramu i reèe: tvojemu sjemenu daæu zemlju ovu. I Avram naèini ondje žrtvenik Gospodu, koji mu se javio.
And YHWH appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto YHWH, who appeared unto 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 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 builded an altar unto YHWH, and called upon the name of YHWH.
9 Odande otide Avram dalje iduæi na jug.
And Abram journeyed, going on still toward 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 was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was 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 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 thou art a fair woman to look upon:
12 Zato kad te vide Misirci reæi æe: ovo mu je žena. Pa æe me ubiti, a tebe æe ostaviti u životu.
Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive.
13 Nego hajde kaži da si mi sestra, te æe meni biti dobro tebe radi i ostaæu u životu uz tebe.
Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.
14 I kad doðe Avram u Misir, vidješe Misirci ženu da je vrlo lijepa.
And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
15 I vidješe je knezovi Faraonovi, i hvališe je pred Faraonom. I uzeše je u dvor Faraonov.
The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
16 I on èinjaše dobro Avramu nje radi, te imaše ovaca i goveda i magaraca i sluga i sluškinja i magarica i kamila.
And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.
17 Ali Gospod pusti velika zla na Faraona i na dom njegov radi Sare žene Avramove.
And YHWH plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of 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 Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou hast done unto 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.
Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold 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 Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
