1 Мојсијева 12
1 И рече Господ Авраму: Иди из земље своје и од рода свог и из дома оца свог у земљу коју ћу ти ја показати.
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 И учинићу од тебе велик народ, и благословићу те, и име твоје прославићу, и ти ћеш бити благослов.
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and magnify thy name, and thou shalt be blessed.
3 Благословићу оне који тебе узблагосиљају, и проклећу оне који тебе успроклињу; и у теби ће бити благословена сва племена на земљи.
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 Тада пође Аврам, као што му каза Господ, и с њим пође Лот. А беше Авраму седамдесет и пет година кад пође из Харана.
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 И узе Аврам Сару жену своју и Лота сина брата свог са свим благом које беху стекли и с душама које беху добили у Харану; и пођоше у земљу хананску, и дођоше у њу.
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 И пође Аврам ту земљу до места Сихема и до равнице морешке; а беху тада Хананеји у тој земљи.
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 И јави се Господ Авраму и рече: Твом семену даћу земљу ову. И Аврам начини онде жртвеник Господу, који му се јавио.
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 После отиде оданде на брдо, које је према истоку од Ветиља, и онде разапе шатор свој, те му Ветиљ беше са запада а Гај с истока; и онде начини Господу жртвеник, и призва име Господње.
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 Оданде отиде Аврам даље идући на југ.
And Abram went forward, going, and proceeding on to the south.
10 Али наста глад у оној земљи, те Аврам сиђе у Мисир да се онде склони; јер глад беше велика у оној земљи.
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 А кад се приближи да већ уђе у Мисир, рече Сари жени својој: Гле, знам да си жена лепа у лицу.
And when he was near to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife: I know that thou art a beautiful woman:
12 Зато кад те виде Мисирци рећи ће: Ово му је жена. Па ће ме убити, а тебе ће оставити у животу.
And that when the Egyptians shall see thee, they will say: She is his wife: and they will kill me, and keep thee.
13 Него хајде кажи да си ми сестра, те ће мени бити добро тебе ради и остаћу у животу уз тебе.
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 И кад дође Аврам у Мисир, видеше Мисирци жену да је врло лепа.
And when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians saw the woman that she was very beautiful.
15 И видеше је кнезови Фараонови, и хвалише је пред Фараоном. И узеше је у двор Фараонов.
And the princes told Pharao, and praised her before him: and the woman was taken into the house of Pharao.
16 И он чињаше добро Авраму ње ради, те имаше оваца и говеда и магараца и слуга и слушкиња и магарица и камила.
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 Али Господ пусти велика зла на Фараона и на дом његов ради Саре жене Аврамове.
But the Lord scourged Pharao and his house with most grievous stripes for Sarai, Abram’s wife.
18 Тада дозва Фараон Аврама и рече му: Шта ми то учини? Зашто ми ниси казао да ти је жена?
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 Зашто си казао: Сестра ми је? Те је узех за жену. Сад ето ти жене, узми је, па иди.
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 И Фараон заповеди људима за њ, те га испратише и жену његову и шта год имаше.
And Pharao gave his men orders concerning Abram: and they led him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
