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 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 Gagawin kitang isang dakilang bansa, at pagpapalain kita, at gagawin kong dakila ang iyong pangalan at ikaw ay magiging isang pagpapala.
That I may make thee into a great nation, And bless thee and make great thy name, And become 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.”
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 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.
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, 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, 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 Naglakbay si Abram hanggang sa Shekem sa kakahuyan ng Moreh. Sa panahong iyon ang mga Cananeo ang naninirahan sa lupain.
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 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 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 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 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 Pagkatapos nagpatuloy si Abram sa paglalakbay patungong Negeb.
Thus Abram brake up, again and again, towards 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 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 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 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 Kapag nakita ka ng mga taga-Ehipto sasabihin nilang, 'Ito ay kaniyang asawa,' at ako ay papatayin nila, pero hahayaan ka nilang mabuhay.
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 Sabihin mong ikaw ay kapatid kong babae, para mapabuti ako ng dahil sa iyo, at maliligtas ang buhay ko 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 Nang papasok na si Abram sa Ehipto, nakita ng mga taga-Ehipto na napakaganda ni Sarai.
And so it was when Abram entered into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman, that fair, was she exceedingly.
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 beheld her, and praised her unto Pharaoh, —so the woman was taken to the house of Pharaoh;
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 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 Pagkatapos pinahirapan ni Yahweh ang Paraon at ang kaniyang sambahayan ng mga matinding salot 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 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 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 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.”
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 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 command concerning him unto certain men, —and sent him away, with his wife and all that he had.
