Genesis 12
1 And the Lord said to Abram, Go forth out of thy land and out of thy kindred, and out of the house of thy father, and come into the land which I will shew thee.
Gospod je torej rekel Abramu: »Pojdi ven iz svoje dežele in iz svojega sorodstva in iz hiše svojega očeta v deželo, ki ti jo bom pokazal.
2 And I will make thee a great nation, and I will bless thee and magnify thy name, and thou shalt be blessed.
Iz tebe bom naredil velik narod in blagoslovil te bom in tvoje ime naredil veliko in ti boš blagoslov.
3 And I will bless those that bless thee, and curse those that curse thee, and in thee shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed.
Blagoslovil bom tiste, ki te blagoslavljajo in preklel tistega, ki te preklinja, in v tebi bodo blagoslovljene vse družine zemlje.«
4 And Abram went as the Lord spoke to him, and Lot departed with him, and Abram was seventy-five years old, when he went out of Charrhan.
Tako je Abram odšel, kakor mu je Gospod spregovoril in Lot je šel z njim. Abram pa je bil star petinsedemdeset let, ko je odšel iz Harána.
5 And Abram took Sara his wife, and Lot the son of his brother, and all their possessions, as many as they had got, and every soul which they had got in Charrhan, and they went forth to go into the land of Chanaan.
Abram je vzel svojo ženo Sarájo in Lota, sina svojega brata ter vse njuno imetje, ki sta ga zbrala in duše, ki sta jih pridobila v Haránu in šli so, da gredo v kánaansko deželo in prišli so v kánaansko deželo.
6 And Abram traversed the land lengthwise as far as the place Sychem, to the high oak, and the Chananites then inhabited the land.
Abram je šel skozi deželo do kraja Sihem, na Moréjevo ravnino. In takrat je bil v deželi Kánaanec.
7 And the Lord appeared to Abram, and said to him, I will give this land to thy seed. And Abram built an altar there to the Lord who appeared to him.
Gospod se je prikazal Abramu ter rekel: »To deželo bom dal tvojemu potomcu.« In tam je zgradil oltar Gospodu, ki se mu je prikazal.
8 And he departed thence to the mountain eastward of Baethel, and there he pitched his tent in Baethel near the sea, and Aggai toward the east, and there he built an altar to the Lord, and called on the name of the Lord.
Od tam se je prestavil h gori na vzhodu Betela ter postavil svoj šotor in Betel je imel na zahodu, Aj pa na vzhodu. Tam je zgradil oltar Gospodu ter klical h Gospodovemu imenu.
9 And Abram departed and went and encamped in the wilderness.
Abram je potoval in še vedno šel proti jugu.
10 And there was a famine in the land, and Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there, because the famine prevailed in the land.
V deželi pa je bila lakota in Abram je odšel dol v Egipt, da tam začasno prebiva, kajti lakota v deželi je bila boleča.
11 And it came to pass when Abram drew nigh to enter into Egypt, Abram said to Sara his wife, I know that thou art a fair woman.
Toda pripetilo se je, ko je prišel blizu, da vstopi v Egipt, da je rekel svoji ženi Saráji: »Glej, torej vem, da si na pogled lepa ženska,
12 It shall come to pass then that when the Egyptians shall see thee, they shall say, This is his wife, and they shall slay me, but they shall save thee alive.
zato se bo zgodilo, ko te bodo Egipčani zagledali, da bodo rekli: ›To je njegova žena‹ in bodo mene ubili, toda tebe bodo ohranili pri življenju.
13 Say, therefore, I am his sister, that it may be well with me on account of thee, and my soul shall live because of thee.
Reci, prosim te, [da] si moja sestra, da bo zaradi tebe lahko dobro z menoj in bo moja duša živela zaradi tebe.«
14 And it came to pass when Abram entered into Egypt—the Egyptians having seen his wife that she was very beautiful—
Pripetilo se je, ko je Abram prišel v Egipt, da so Egipčani zagledali žensko, da je bila zelo lepa.
15 that the princes of Pharao saw her, and praised her to Pharao and brought her into the house of Pharao.
Tudi faraonovi princi so jo videli in jo priporočili pred faraonom in ženska je bila vzeta v faraonovo hišo.
16 And they treated Abram well on her account, and he had sheep, and calves, and asses, and men-servants, and women-servants, and mules, and camels.
In zaradi nje je [z] Abramom dobro ravnal, in imel je ovce, vole, osle, sluge, dekle, oslice in kamele.
17 And God afflicted Pharao with great and severe afflictions, and his house, because of Sara, Abram's wife.
Gospod pa je zaradi Abramove žene Saráje trpinčil faraona in njegovo hišo z velikimi nadlogami.
18 And Pharao having called Abram, said, What is this thou hast done to me, that thou didst not tell me that she was thy wife?
Faraon je poklical Abrama ter mu rekel: »Kaj je to, kar si mi storil? Zakaj mi nisi povedal, da je bila tvoja žena?
19 Wherefore didst thou say, She is my sister? and I took her for a wife to myself; and now, behold, thy wife is before thee, take her and go quickly away.
Zakaj si rekel: ›Moja sestra je?‹ Tako bi jo lahko vzel k sebi za ženo. Zdaj torej glej svojo ženo, vzemi jo in pojdi svojo pot.«
20 And Pharao gave charge to men concerning Abram, to join in sending him forward, and his wife, and all that he had.
Faraon je glede njega zapovedal svojim ljudem in poslali so ga proč in njegovo ženo in vse, kar je imel.
