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:
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 и сотворю тя в язык велий, и благословлю тя, и возвеличу имя твое, и будеши благословен:
I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. 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 I will curse him who curses you. 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 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 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.
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 И пройде Аврам землю в долготу ея даже до места Сихем, до дуба Высокаго: Хананее же тогда живяху на земли (той).
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 И явися Господь Авраму и рече ему: семени твоему дам землю сию. И созда тамо Аврам жертвенник Господу явльшемуся ему.
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 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).
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 И воздвижеся Аврам, и шед ополчися в пустыни.
Avram [Exalted father] traveled, still going on toward the South.
10 И бысть глад на земли: и сниде Аврам во Египет вселитися тамо, яко одоле глад на земли.
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 Бысть же егда приближися Аврам внити во Египет, рече Аврам Саре жене своей: вем аз, яко жена добролична еси:
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 будет убо егда увидят тя Египтяне, рекут, яко жена его есть сия: и убиют мя, тебе же снабдят:
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 рцы убо, яко сестра ему есмь, да добро мне будет тебе ради, и будет жива душа моя тебе ради.
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 Бысть же егда вниде Аврам во Египет, видевше Египтяне жену его, яко добра бяше зело,
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 и видеша ю князи фараони и похвалиша ю пред фараоном, и введоша ю в дом фараонов.
The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.
16 И Авраму добре бяше ея ради: и быша ему овцы и телцы и ослы, и рабы и рабыни, и мски и велблюды.
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 И мучи Господь казньми великими и лютыми фараона и дом его Сары ради жены Аврамли.
Adonai afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai [Mockery], Avram [Exalted father]’s wife.
18 Призвав же фараон Аврама, рече ему: что сие сотворил еси мне, яко не поведал ми еси, яко жена твоя есть?
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 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 to be my wife? Now therefore, see your wife, take her, and go your way.”
20 И заповеда фараон мужем о Авраме, проводити его и жену его, и вся, елика быша его, и Лота с ним.
Pharaoh enjoined men concerning him, and they escorted him away with his wife and all that he had.
