Genesis 12
1 Ngayon sinabi ni Yahweh kay Abram, “Humayo ka mula sa iyong bansa, at mula sa iyong mga kamag-anak, at mula sa sambahayan ng iyong ama, sa lupaing ipakikita 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 Gagawin kitang isang dakilang bansa, at pagpapalain kita, at gagawin kong dakila ang iyong pangalan at ikaw ay magiging isang pagpapala.
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and magnify thy name, and thou shalt be blessed.
3 Pagpapalain ko ang magpapala sa iyo, pero sinuman ang maninira sa iyo ay susumpain ko. Sa pamamagitan mo, ang lahat ng mga pamilya sa buong mundo ay pagpapalain.”
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 humayo si Abram, gaya ng sinabi ni Yahweh na kaniyang gawin, at sumama si Lot sa kaniya. Pitumpu't-limang taong gulang si Abram nang umalis siya 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, si Lot, na anak na lalaki ng kaniyang kapatid, lahat ng mga ari-arian na kanilang naipon, at mga nakuha nilang mga tauhan sa Haran. Umalis sila patungo sa lupain ng Canaan, at pumunta 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 Naglakbay si Abram hanggang sa Shekem sa kakahuyan ng Moreh. Sa panahong iyon ang mga Cananeo ang naninirahan sa lupain.
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 Nagpakita si Yahweh kay Abram, at sinabing, “Ibibigay ko ang lupaing ito sa iyong mga kaapu-apuhan.” Kaya nagtayo roon si Abram ng altar para kay Yahweh, na nagpakita 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 Mula roon siya ay lumipat sa bulubunduking bayan sa silangan ng Bethel, kung saan niya itinayo ang kaniyang tolda, na ang Bethel ay nasa kanluran at ang Ai ay nasa silangan. Doon nagtayo siya ng altar para kay Yahweh at tumawag sa pangalan ni Yahweh.
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 Pagkatapos nagpatuloy si Abram sa paglalakbay patungong Negeb.
And Abram went forward, going, and proceeding on to the south.
10 Nagkaroon ng taggutom sa lupain, kaya bumaba si Abram papunta sa Ehipto para manirahan doon, dahil matindi ang taggutom 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 Nang siya ay papasok na sa Ehipto, sinabi niya sa kaniyang asawang si Sarai, “Tingnan mo, alam kong ikaw ay isang magandang babae.
And when he was near to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife: I know that thou art a beautiful woman:
12 Kapag nakita ka ng mga taga-Ehipto sasabihin nilang, 'Ito ay kaniyang asawa,' at ako ay papatayin nila, pero hahayaan ka nilang mabuhay.
And that when the Egyptians shall see thee, they will say: She is his wife: and they will kill me, and keep thee.
13 Sabihin mong ikaw ay kapatid kong babae, para mapabuti ako ng dahil sa iyo, at maliligtas ang buhay ko 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 Nang papasok na si Abram sa Ehipto, nakita ng mga taga-Ehipto na napakaganda ni Sarai.
And when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians saw the woman that she was very beautiful.
15 Nakita siya ng mga prinsepe ng Paraon, at pinuri siya kay Paraon, at dinala ang babae sa sambahayan ng Paraon.
And the princes told Pharao, and praised her before him: and the woman was taken into the house of Pharao.
16 Pinakitunguhan nang mabuti ni Paraon si Abram alang-alang sa kaniya, at binigyan siya ng mga tupa, mga baka, mga lalaking asno, mga lalaki at babaeng lingkod, mga babaeng asno, at 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 Pagkatapos pinahirapan ni Yahweh ang Paraon at ang kaniyang sambahayan ng mga matinding salot 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 Pinatawag ng Paraon si Abram, at sinabing, “Ano itong ginawa mo sa akin? Bakit hindi mo sinabi sa akin na siya ay 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 mo sinabing, 'Siya ay kapatid ko,' kaya kinuha ko siya na maging asawa ko? Kaya ngayon, narito ang iyong asawa. Isama mo siya, at umalis na kayo.”
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 Pagkatapos, binigyan ng utos ng Paraon ang kaniyang mga tauhan patungkol sa kaniya, at siya ay pinaalis nila, kasama ang kaniyang asawa at ang lahat ng mayroon siya.
And Pharao gave his men orders concerning Abram: and they led him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
