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 Yahweh said to Abram, “Go from your country, and from your relatives, and from your father's household, 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, and I will bless you, and make your name great, and 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, but whoever dishonors you I will curse. Through you will all the families of the earth be blessed.”
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 went, as Yahweh had told him to do, 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.
Abram took Sarai, his wife, Lot, his brother's son, all their possessions that they had accumulated, and the people that they had acquired in Haran. They left to go into the land of Canaan, and 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 passed through the land as far as Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time the Canaanites lived in the land.
7 И явися Господь Авраму и рече ему: семени твоему дам землю сию. И созда тамо Аврам жертвенник Господу явльшемуся ему.
Yahweh appeared to Abram, and said, “To your descendants I will give this land.” So there Abram built an altar to Yahweh, 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 he moved to the hill country to the east of Bethel, where he pitched his tent, with Bethel to the west and Ai to the east. There he built an altar to Yahweh and called on the name of Yahweh.
9 И воздвижеся Аврам, и шед ополчися в пустыни.
Then Abram continued journeying, going toward the Negev.
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, so Abram went down into Egypt to stay, 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 was about to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, “See here, 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:
When the Egyptians see you they will say, 'This is his wife,' and they will kill me, but they will keep you alive.
13 рцы убо, яко сестра ему есмь, да добро мне будет тебе ради, и будет жива душа моя тебе ради.
Say that you are my sister, so that it may be well with me because of you, and so that my life will be spared because of you.”
14 Бысть же егда вниде Аврам во Египет, видевше Египтяне жену его, яко добра бяше зело,
It came about that when Abram entered into Egypt, the Egyptians saw that Sarai 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 household.
16 И Авраму добре бяше ея ради: и быша ему овцы и телцы и ослы, и рабы и рабыни, и мски и велблюды.
Pharaoh treated Abram well for her sake, and gave him sheep, oxen, 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.
Then Yahweh afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife.
18 Призвав же фараон Аврама, рече ему: что сие сотворил еси мне, яко не поведал ми еси, яко жена твоя есть?
Pharaoh summoned Abram, and said, “What is this that you have done to me? Why did you not 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, here is 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.
Then Pharaoh gave orders to his men concerning him, and they sent him away, along with his wife and all that he had.
