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.
Now the LORD said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto the land that I will 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 make thy name great; and be thou a blessing:
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.”
and I will bless them that bless thee, and him that curseth thee will I curse: and in thee shall all the families 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, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of 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 Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
6 Naglakbay si Abram hanggang sa Shekem sa kakahuyan ng Moreh. Sa panahong iyon ang mga Cananeo ang naninirahan sa lupain.
And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Shechem, unto the oak of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then 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 unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto 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 he removed from thence unto the mountain on the east of Beth-el, and pitched his tent, having Beth-el on the west, and Ai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD.
9 Pagkatapos nagpatuloy si Abram sa paglalakbay patungong Negeb.
And Abram journeyed, going on still toward 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 was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was sore 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 it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon:
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 it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive.
13 Sabihin mong ikaw ay kapatid kong babae, para mapabuti ako ng dahil sa iyo, at maliligtas ang buhay ko dahil sa iyo.”
Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake, and that my soul may live because of thee.
14 Nang papasok na si Abram sa Ehipto, nakita ng mga taga-Ehipto na napakaganda ni Sarai.
And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
15 Nakita siya ng mga prinsepe ng Paraon, at pinuri siya kay Paraon, at dinala ang babae sa sambahayan ng Paraon.
And the princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.
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 he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and menservants, and maidservants, 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.
And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of 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 Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou hast done unto 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.”
Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so that I took her to be my wife: now therefore behold 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 Pharaoh gave men charge concerning him: and they brought him on the way, and his wife, and all that he had.
