Genesis 12
1 Now the LORD had said to Abram, Get you out of your country, and from your kindred, and from your father’s house, to a land that I will show you:
O SENHOR disse a Abrão: “Sai da tua terra, e da tua parentela, e da casa de teu pai, para terra que eu te mostrarei.
2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing:
E farei de ti uma grande nação, e te abençoarei, e engrandecerei o teu nome, e tu serás uma bênção.
3 And I will bless them that bless you, and curse him that curses you: and in you shall all families of the earth be blessed.
E abençoarei os que te abençoarem, e amaldiçoarei os que te amaldiçoarem; e em ti todas as famílias da terra serão benditas.”
4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken to him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
Assim se foi Abrão, como o SENHOR lhe dissera; e Ló foi com ele. Abrão tinha setenta e cinco anos de idade quando saiu de Harã.
5 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.
E Abrão tomou a Sarai, sua mulher, e a Ló, filho de seu irmão, e todos os seus pertences que haviam ganhado, e as pessoas que eles haviam adquirido em Harã, e saíram para ir à terra de Canaã; e à terra de Canaã chegaram.
6 And Abram passed through the land to the place of Sichem, to the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
E passou Abrão por aquela terra até o lugar de Siquém, até o carvalho de Moré; e os cananeus estavam então na terra.
7 And the LORD appeared to Abram, and said, To your seed will I give this land: and there built he an altar to the LORD, who appeared to him.
E o SENHOR apareceu a Abrão, e lhe disse: À tua descendência darei esta terra. E ele edificou ali um altar ao SENHOR, que lhe havia aparecido.
8 And he removed from there to a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he built an altar to the LORD, and called on the name of the LORD.
E passou-se dali a um monte ao oriente de Betel, e estendeu sua tenda, tendo a Betel ao ocidente e Ai ao oriente: e edificou ali altar ao SENHOR e invocou o nome do SENHOR.
9 And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.
E moveu Abrão dali, caminhando e indo até o Sul.
10 And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.
E houve fome na terra, e desceu Abrão ao Egito para peregrinar ali; porque era grande a fome na terra.
11 And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that you are a fair woman to look on:
E aconteceu que quando estava para entrar no Egito, disse a Sarai sua mulher: Eis que, agora conheço que és mulher bela à vista;
12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see you, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save you alive.
E será que quando te houverem visto os egípcios, dirão: Sua mulher é: e matarão a mim, e a ti te preservarão a vida.
13 Say, I pray you, you are my sister: that it may be well with me for your sake; and my soul shall live because of you.
Agora, pois, dize que és minha irmã, para que eu vá bem por tua causa, e viva minha alma por causa de ti.
14 And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
E aconteceu que, quando entrou Abrão no Egito, os egípcios viram a mulher que era bela em grande maneira.
15 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.
Viram-na também os príncipes de Faraó, e a elogiaram; e foi levada a mulher a casa de Faraó:
16 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.
E fez bem a Abrão por causa dela; e teve ovelhas, e vacas, e asnos, e servos, e criadas, e asnas e camelos.
17 And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram’s wife.
Mas o SENHOR feriu a Faraó e à sua casa com grandes pragas, por causa de Sarai mulher de Abrão.
18 And Pharaoh called Abram and said, What is this that you have done to me? why did you not tell me that she was your wife?
Então Faraó chamou a Abrão e lhe disse: Que é isto que fizeste comigo? Por que não me declaraste que era tua mulher?
19 Why said you, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold your wife, take her, and go your way.
Por que disseste: “É minha irmã”, pondo-me em risco de tomá-la para mim por mulher? Agora, pois, eis aqui tua mulher, toma-a e vai-te.
20 And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
Então Faraó deu ordem a seus homens acerca de Abrão; e lhe acompanharam, e à sua mulher com tudo o que tinha.
