Genesis 12
1 Sinabi nga ng Panginoon kay Abram, Umalis ka sa iyong lupain, at sa iyong mga kamaganak, at sa bahay ng iyong ama, na ikaw ay pasa lupaing ituturo ko sa iyo:
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 At gagawin kitang isang malaking bansa, at ikaw ay aking pagpapalain, at padadakilain ko ang iyong pangalan; at ikaw ay maging isang kapalaran:
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and magnify thy name, and thou shalt be blessed.
3 At pagpapalain ko ang mga magpapala sa iyo, at susumpain ko ang mga susumpa sa iyo: at pagpapalain sa iyo ang lahat ng angkan sa lupa.
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 Kaya't yumaon si Abram, ayon sa sinalita sa kaniya ng Panginoon; at si Lot ay sumama sa kaniya: at si Abram ay may pitong pu't limang taon, nang umalis sa Haran.
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 Isinama ni Abram si Sarai na kaniyang asawa, at si Lot na anak ng kaniyang kapatid, at ang lahat ng pag-aaring kanilang natipon at ang mga taong kanilang nakuha sa Haran; at nagsialis upang pasa lupain ng Canaan; at dumating sa lupain ng Canaan.
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 At naglakbay sa lupain si Abram hanggang sa dako ng Sichem, hanggang sa punong encina ng More. At noo'y nasa lupaing yaon ang Cananeo,
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 At napakita ang Panginoon kay Abram, at nagsabi, Sa iyong lahi ay ibibigay ko ang lupaing ito: at siya'y nagtayo roon ng isang dambana sa Panginoon na napakita sa kaniya.
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 At mula roon ay lumipat siya sa bundok na nasa silanganan ng Bethel, at doon niya itinayo ang kaniyang tolda, na nasa kalunuran ang Bethel, at nasa silanganan ang Hai: at siya'y nagtayo roon ng dambana sa Panginoon, at sinambitla ang pangalan ng Panginoon.
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 At si Abram ay naglakbay na nagtuloy sa dakong Timugan.
And Abram went forward, going, and proceeding on to the south.
10 At nagkagutom sa lupaing yaon: at bumaba si Abram na nasok sa Egipto, upang manirahan doon; sapagka't mahigpit ang kagutom sa lupain.
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 At nangyari, nang siya'y malapit nang papasok sa Egipto, ay sinabi niya kay Sarai na kaniyang asawa, Narito, ngayon, talastas kong ikaw ay magandang babae sa tingin:
And when he was near to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife: I know that thou art a beautiful woman:
12 At mangyayari na pag makikita ka ng mga Egipcio, ay kanilang sasabihin, Ito'y kaniyang asawa; at ako'y kanilang papatayin, datapuwa't kanilang ililigtas kang buhay.
And that when the Egyptians shall see thee, they will say: She is his wife: and they will kill me, and keep thee.
13 Isinasamo ko sa iyo, na sabihin mong ikaw ay aking kapatid, upang ako'y mapabuti dahil sa iyo, at upang ang kaluluwa ko'y mabuhay dahil sa iyo.
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 At nangyari, nang pumasok si Abram sa Egipto, nakita ng mga Egipcio, na ang babae ay napakaganda.
And when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians saw the woman that she was very beautiful.
15 At nakita siya ng mga prinsipe ni Faraon, at kanilang pinuri siya kay Faraon: at dinala ang babae sa bahay ni Faraon.
And the princes told Pharao, and praised her before him: and the woman was taken into the house of Pharao.
16 At pinagpakitaan nito ng magandang loob si Abram dahil sa kaniya: at nagkaroon si Abram ng mga tupa, at ng mga baka, at ng mga asno, at ng mga aliping lalake at mga alilang babae, at ng mga asna, at ng mga kamelyo,
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 At sinalot ng Panginoon si Faraon at ang kaniyang sangbahayan, ng malaking pagsalot dahil kay Sarai na asawa ni Abram.
But the Lord scourged Pharao and his house with most grievous stripes for Sarai, Abram’s wife.
18 At tinawag ni Faraon si Abram, at sinabi, Ano itong ginawa mo sa akin? Bakit hindi mo ipinahayag sa akin na siya'y iyong asawa?
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 Bakit sinabi mong siya'y aking kapatid? na ano pa't siya'y aking kinuha upang maging asawa: ngayon nga'y nariyan ang iyong asawa; siya'y kunin mo at yumaon ka.
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 At nagbilin si Faraon sa mga tao tungkol sa kaniya: at siya'y kanilang inihatid sa daan, at ang kaniyang asawa, at ang lahat ng kaniyang pag-aari.
And Pharao gave his men orders concerning Abram: and they led him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
