Genesis 12
1 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.
Ora o Senhor disse a Abrão: Sae-te da tua terra, e da tua parentela, e da casa de teu pae, para a terra que eu te mostrarei.
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and magnify thy name, and thou shalt be blessed.
E far-te-hei uma grande nação, e abençoar-te-hei, e engrandecerei o teu nome; e tu serás uma benção.
3 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:
E abençoarei os que te abençoarem, e amaldiçoarei os que te amaldiçoarem; e em ti serão bemditas todas as familias da terra.
4 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.
Assim partiu Abrão, como o Senhor lhe tinha dito, e foi Lot com elle: e era Abrão de edade de setenta e cinco annos, quando saiu de Haran.
5 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,
E tomou Abrão a Sarai, sua mulher, e a Lot, filho de seu irmão, e toda a sua fazenda, que haviam adquirido, e as almas que lhe accresceram em Haran: e sairam para irem á terra de Canaan; e vieram á terra de Canaan.
6 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.
E passou Abrão por aquella terra até ao logar de Sichem, até ao carvalho de Moreh; e estavam então os Cananeos na terra.
7 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.
E appareceu o Senhor a Abrão, e disse: Á tua semente darei esta terra. E edificou ali um altar ao Senhor, que lhe apparecêra.
8 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.
E moveu-se d'ali para a montanha á banda do Oriente de Bethel, e armou a sua tenda, tendo Bethel ao Occidente, e Ai ao Oriente; e edificou ali um altar ao Senhor, e invocou o nome do Senhor.
9 And Abram went forward, going, and proceeding on to the south.
Depois caminhou Abrão d'ali, seguindo ainda para a banda do Sul.
10 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.
E havia fome n'aquella terra: e desceu Abrão ao Egypto, para peregrinar ali, porquanto a fome era grande na terra.
11 And when he was near to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife: I know that thou art a beautiful woman:
E aconteceu que, chegando elle para entrar no Egypto, disse a Sarai, sua mulher: Ora bem sei que és mulher formosa á vista;
12 And that when the Egyptians shall see thee, they will say: She is his wife: and they will kill me, and keep thee.
E será que, quando os Egypcios te virem, dirão: Esta é sua mulher. E matar-me-hão a mim, e a ti te guardarão em vida
13 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.
Dize, peço-te, que és minha irmã, para que me vá bem por tua causa, e que viva a minha alma por amor de ti.
14 And when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians saw the woman that she was very beautiful.
E aconteceu que, entrando Abrão no Egypto, viram os Egypcios a mulher, que era mui formosa.
15 And the princes told Pharao, and praised her before him: and the woman was taken into the house of Pharao.
E viram-n'a os principes do Pharaó, e gabaram-n'a diante do Pharaó: e foi a mulher tomada para casa do Pharaó.
16 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.
E fez bem a Abrão por amor d'ella; e elle teve ovelhas, e vaccas, e jumentos, e servos e servas, e jumentas, e camelos.
17 But the Lord scourged Pharao and his house with most grievous stripes for Sarai, Abram’s wife.
Feriu, porém, o Senhor o Pharaó com grandes pragas, e a sua casa, por causa de Sarai, mulher de Abrão.
18 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?
Então chamou o Pharaó a Abrão, e disse: Que é isto que me fizeste? porque não me disseste que ella era tua mulher?
19 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.
Porque disseste: É minha irmã? de maneira que a houvera tomado por minha mulher: agora, pois, eis aqui tua mulher; toma-a e vae-te.
20 And Pharao gave his men orders concerning Abram: and they led him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
E o Pharaó, deu ordens aos seus varões a seu respeito, e acompanharam-n'o a elle, e a sua mulher, e a tudo o que tinha.
