Postanak 12
1 Jahve reče Abramu: “Idi iz zemlje svoje, iz zavičaja i doma očinskog, u krajeve koje ću ti pokazati.
And YHWH says to Abram, “Go for yourself, from your land, and from your family, and from the house of your father, to the land which I show you.
2 Velik ću narod od tebe učiniti, blagoslovit ću te, ime ću ti uzveličati, i sam ćeš biti blagoslov.
And I make you become a great nation, and bless you, and make your name great; and be a blessing.
3 Blagoslivljat ću one koji te blagoslivljali budu, koji te budu kleli, njih ću proklinjati; sva plemena na zemlji tobom će se blagoslivljati.”
And I bless those blessing you, and I curse him who is cursing you, and all families of the ground have been blessed in you.”
4 Abram se zaputi kako mu je Jahve rekao. S njime krenu i Lot. Abramu je bilo sedamdeset i pet godina kad je otišao iz Harana.
And Abram goes on, as YHWH has spoken to him, and Lot goes with him, and Abram [is] a son of seventy-five years in his going out from Haran.
5 Abram uze sa sobom svoju ženu Saraju, svoga bratića Lota, svu imovinu što su je namakli i svu čeljad koju su stekli u Haranu te svi pođu u zemlju kanaansku. Kad su stigli u Kanaan,
And Abram takes his wife Sarai, and his brother’s son Lot, and all their substance that they have gained, and the persons that they have obtained in Haran; and they go out to go toward the land of Canaan; and they come to the land of Canaan.
6 Abram prođe zemljom do mjesta Šekema - do hrasta More. Kanaanci su onda bili u zemlji.
And Abram passes over into the land, to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh; and the Canaanite [is] then in the land.
7 Jahve se javi Abramu pa mu reče: “Tvome ću potomstvu dati ovu zemlju.” Abram tu podigne žrtvenik Jahvi koji mu se objavio.
And YHWH appears to Abram and says, “To your seed I give this land”; and there he builds an altar to YHWH, who has appeared to him.
8 Odatle prijeđe u brdoviti kraj, na istok od Betela. Svoj šator postavi između Betela na zapadu i Aja na istoku. Ondje podigne žrtvenik Jahvi i zazva ime Jahvino.
And he removes from there toward a mountain at the east of Beth-El, and stretches out the tent (Beth-El at the west, and Hai at the east), and he builds an altar to YHWH there, and preaches in the Name of YHWH.
9 Od postaje do postaje Abram se pomicao prema Negebu.
And Abram journeys, going on and journeying toward the south.
10 Ali kad je zemljom zavladala glad, Abram se spusti u Egipat da ondje proboravi, jer je velika glad harala zemljom.
And there is a famine in the land, and Abram goes down toward Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine [is] grievous in the land;
11 Kad je bio na ulazu u Egipat, reče svojoj ženi Saraji: “Znam da si lijepa žena.
and it comes to pass as he has drawn near to enter Egypt, that he says to his wife Sarai, “Now behold, I have known that you [are] a woman of beautiful appearance;
12 Kad te Egipćani vide, reći će: 'To je njegova žena', i mene će ubiti, a tebe na životu ostaviti.
and it has come to pass that the Egyptians see you, and they have said, This [is] his wife; and they have slain me, and you they keep alive:
13 Nego reci da si mi sestra, tako da i meni bude zbog tebe dobro i da, iz obzira prema tebi, poštede moj život.”
please say you [are] my sister, so that it is well with me because of you, and my soul has lived for your sake.”
14 Zbilja, kad je Abram ušao u Egipat, Egipćani vide da je žena veoma lijepa.
And it comes to pass, at the entering of Abram into Egypt, that the Egyptians see the woman that she [is] exceedingly beautiful;
15 Vide je faraonovi dvorani pa je pohvale faraonu i odvedu ženu na faraonov dvor.
and princes of Pharaoh see her, and praise her to Pharaoh, and the woman is taken [to] Pharaoh’s house;
16 Abramu pođe dobro zbog nje; steče on stoke i goveda, magaraca, slugu i sluškinja, magarica i deva.
and to Abram he has done good because of her, and he has sheep and oxen, and male donkeys, and menservants, and handmaids, and female donkeys, and camels.
17 Ali Jahve udari faraona i njegov dom velikim nevoljama zbog Abramove žene Saraje.
And YHWH plagues Pharaoh and his house—great plagues—for the matter of Sarai, Abram’s wife.
18 I faraon pozva Abrama pa reče: “Što si mi to učinio? Zašto mi nisi kazao da je ona tvoja žena?
And Pharaoh calls for Abram and says, “What [is] this you have done to me? Why have you not declared to me that she [is] your wife?
19 Zašto si rekao: 'Ona mi je sestra', pa je ja uzeh sebi za ženu? A sad, evo ti žene; uzmi je i hajde!”
Why have you said, She [is] my sister, and I take her to myself for a wife? And now, behold, your wife, take and go.”
20 Faraon ga onda preda momcima, a oni ga otprave s njegovom ženom i sa svime što bijaše njegovo.
And Pharaoh charges men concerning him, and they send him away, and his wife, and all that he has.
