Génesis 12
1 Y él Señor dijo a Abram: Vete de tu tierra, de tu familia y de la casa de tu padre, a la tierra a la cual yo te guiaré:
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 Y haré de ti una nación grande, te bendeciré y engrandeceré tu nombre; y serás una bendición:
I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing.
3 A los que sean buenos con ustedes, los bendeciré, y al que los maldijere, pondré mi maldición; y serán bendición para todas las familias de la tierra.
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 Entonces Abram fue como el Señor le había dicho, y Lot fue con él: Abram tenía setenta y cinco años cuando se fue de Harán.
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 Y tomó Abram a Sarai, su mujer, y a Lot, hijo de su hermano, y todos sus bienes y los siervos que habían adquirido en Harán, y salieron para ir a la tierra de Canaán.
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 Y Abram recorrió la tierra hasta que llegó a Siquem, donde está la encina sagrada de More. En ese momento, los cananeos aún vivían en la tierra.
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 Y el Señor vino a Abram y le dijo: Daré toda esta tierra a tu descendencia; entonces Abram hizo un altar allí al Señor que se había dejado ver por él.
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 Y pasando de allí al monte al oriente de Betel, levantó su tienda, teniendo a Betel al occidente, y Hai al oriente; y edificó allí un altar, y adoró al nombre del Señor.
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 Y él continuó, viajando todavía hacia el Sur yendo hacia Neguev.
Avram [Exalted father] traveled, still going on toward the South.
10 Y como había poca comida en aquella tierra, descendió a Egipto.
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 Y cuando llegó cerca de Egipto, dijo a Sarai, su mujer: Verdaderamente, tú eres mujer hermosa y hermosa a la vista;
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 Y tengo la certeza de que cuando te vean los varones de Egipto, dirán: Esta es su mujer, y me matarán y te guardarán.
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 Dí, entonces, que tu eres mi hermana, y me beneficiará a causa de ti, y mi vida estará a salvo en tu cuenta.
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 Y aconteció que cuando Abram llegó a Egipto, los hombres de Egipto, mirando a la mujer, vieron que era hermosa.
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 Y los grandes hombres de Faraón, habiéndola visto, dijeron palabras de alabanza a Faraón, y ella fue llevada a la casa de Faraón.
The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.
16 y por causa de ella, fue bueno con Abram, y tenía ovejas, vacas, asnos, siervos, siervas y camellos.
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 Y él Señor envió grandes problemas a la casa de Faraón por causa de Sarai, la mujer de Abram.
Adonai afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai [Mockery], Avram [Exalted father]’s wife.
18 Entonces Faraón envió a buscar a Abram, y le dijo: ¿Qué me has hecho? ¿Por qué no dijiste que ella era tu esposa?
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 ¿Por qué dijiste que ella era tu hermana? para que la tomara por mi esposa: ahora, toma a tu esposa y continúa tu camino.
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 Y el Faraón dio orden a sus hombres, y ellos lo enviaron en su camino, con su mujer y todo lo que tenía.
Pharaoh enjoined men concerning him, and they escorted him away with his wife and all that he had.
