Бытие 12
1 И рече Господь Авраму: изыди от земли твоея, и от рода твоего, и от дому отца твоего, и иди в землю, юже ти покажу:
Then the LORD said to Abram, “Leave your country, your kindred, and your father’s household, and go to the land I will show you.
2 и сотворю тя в язык велий, и благословлю тя, и возвеличу имя твое, и будеши благословен:
I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.
3 и благословлю благословящыя тя, и кленушыя тя проклену: и благословятся о тебе вся племена земная.
I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you; and all the families of the earth will be blessed through you.”
4 И иде Аврам, якоже глагола ему Господь, и идяше с ним Лот: Аврам же бе лет седмидесяти пяти, егда изыде от (земли) Харран.
So Abram departed, as the LORD had directed him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran.
5 И поят Аврам Сару жену свою, и Лота сына брата своего, и вся имения своя, елика стяжаша, и всякую душу, юже стяжаша в Харране: и изыдоша поити в землю Ханааню.
And Abram took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, and all the possessions and people they had acquired in Haran, and set out for the land of Canaan. When they came to the land of Canaan,
6 И пройде Аврам землю в долготу ея даже до места Сихем, до дуба Высокаго: Хананее же тогда живяху на земли (той).
Abram traveled through the land as far as the site of the Oak of Moreh at Shechem. And at that time the Canaanites were in the land.
7 И явися Господь Авраму и рече ему: семени твоему дам землю сию. И созда тамо Аврам жертвенник Господу явльшемуся ему.
Then the LORD appeared to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your offspring.” So Abram built an altar there to the LORD, who had appeared to him.
8 И отступи оттуду в гору на восток (лицем) прямо Вефилю, и постави тамо кущу свою в Вефили при мори, и Агге к востоком: и созда тамо жертвенник Господу, и призва во имя Господа (явльшася ему).
From there Abram moved on to the hill country east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel to the west and Ai to the east. There he built an altar to the LORD, and he called on the name of the LORD.
9 И воздвижеся Аврам, и шед ополчися в пустыни.
And Abram journeyed on toward the Negev.
10 И бысть глад на земли: и сниде Аврам во Египет вселитися тамо, яко одоле глад на земли.
Now there was a famine in the land. So Abram went down to Egypt to live there for a while because the famine was severe.
11 Бысть же егда приближися Аврам внити во Египет, рече Аврам Саре жене своей: вем аз, яко жена добролична еси:
As he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, “Look, I know that you are a beautiful woman,
12 будет убо егда увидят тя Египтяне, рекут, яко жена его есть сия: и убиют мя, тебе же снабдят:
and when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ Then they will kill me but will let you live.
13 рцы убо, яко сестра ему есмь, да добро мне будет тебе ради, и будет жива душа моя тебе ради.
Please say you are my sister, so that I will be treated well for your sake, and on account of you my life will be spared.”
14 Бысть же егда вниде Аврам во Египет, видевше Египтяне жену его, яко добра бяше зело,
So when Abram entered Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.
15 и видеша ю князи фараони и похвалиша ю пред фараоном, и введоша ю в дом фараонов.
When Pharaoh’s officials saw Sarai, they commended her to him, and she was taken into the palace of Pharaoh.
16 И Авраму добре бяше ея ради: и быша ему овцы и телцы и ослы, и рабы и рабыни, и мски и велблюды.
He treated Abram well on her account, and Abram acquired sheep and cattle, male and female donkeys, menservants and maidservants, and camels.
17 И мучи Господь казньми великими и лютыми фараона и дом его Сары ради жены Аврамли.
The LORD, however, afflicted Pharaoh and his household with severe plagues because of Abram’s wife Sarai.
18 Призвав же фараон Аврама, рече ему: что сие сотворил еси мне, яко не поведал ми еси, яко жена твоя есть?
So Pharaoh summoned Abram and asked, “What have you done to me? Why didn’t you tell me she was your wife?
19 Вскую рекл еси, яко сестра ми есть? И поях ю себе в жену. И ныне се, жена твоя пред тобою: поемь ю отиди.
Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her as my wife? Now then, here is your wife. Take her and go!”
20 И заповеда фараон мужем о Авраме, проводити его и жену его, и вся, елика быша его, и Лота с ним.
Then Pharaoh gave his men orders concerning Abram, and they sent him away with his wife and all his possessions.
