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 Yahweh said unto Abram: Come thou on thy way, Out of thy land and out of the place of thy birth and out of the house of thy father, —Unto the land that I will show 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:
That I may make thee into a great nation, And bless thee and make great thy name, And become thou a blessing;
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.
That I may bless them who bless thee, But him who maketh light of thee, will I curse, —So shall be, blessed in thee, all the families of the ground.
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.
And Abram came on his way, according to that which Yahweh had spoken unto him, and Lot came with him, —now, Abram, was seventy-five years old, when he came forth out of 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 Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, with all the goods that they had gathered and the souls that they had gained in Haran, —and they came forth to go towards the land of Canaan, and came in to the land of Canaan.
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,
And Abram passed along throughout the land, as far as the place of Shechem as far as the Teacher’s Terebinth, the Canaanite being then 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 Yahweh appeared unto Abram, and said: To thy seed, will I give this land, —And he built there an altar, unto Yahweh who appeared unto 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 he moved on from thence towards the hill country, on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, —with Bethel on the west, and Ai on the east, and built there an altar to Yahweh, and called on the name of Yahweh.
9 At si Abram ay naglakbay na nagtuloy sa dakong Timugan.
Thus Abram brake up, again and again, towards 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 it came to pass that there was a famine, in the land, —so Abram went down towards Egypt, to sojourn there, because grievous, was the famine 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 it came to pass when he had come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife: Behold! I beseech thee I know that a woman fair to look on, thou art:
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.
so will it come to pass when the Egyptians behold thee, that they will say, His wife, this! and will slay me while thee, they preserve alive.
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, I beseech thee that my sister, art thou, —to the end it may be well with me for thy sake, so shall my soul be preserved alive because of thee.
14 At nangyari, nang pumasok si Abram sa Egipto, nakita ng mga Egipcio, na ang babae ay napakaganda.
And so it was when Abram entered into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman, that fair, was she exceedingly.
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 of Pharaoh beheld her, and praised her unto Pharaoh, —so the woman was taken to the house of Pharaoh;
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 with Abram, dealt he well for her sake, —so that he came to have flocks and herds 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.
And Yahweh plagued Pharaoh with great plagues, also his house, —for the matter of Sarai, wife of Abram.
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 Pharaoh called out to Abram, and said, What is this thou hast done to me? Wherefore 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.
Wherefore saidst thou My sister, she; and so I was about to take her to me, to wife? But now, lo! 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 Pharaoh gave command concerning him unto certain men, —and sent him away, with his wife and all that he had.
