Genesis 12
1 And the Lord said to Abram, Go forth out of your land and out of your kindred, and out of the house of your father, and come into the land which I will show you.
Ora o Senhor disse a Abrão: sai-te da tua terra, e da tua parentela, e da casa de teu pai, para a terra que eu te mostrarei.
2 And I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you and magnify your name, and you shall be blessed.
E far-te-ei uma grande nação, e abençoar-te-ei, e engrandecerei o teu nome; e tu serás uma benção.
3 And I will bless those that bless you, and curse those that curse you, and in you shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed.
E abençoarei os que te abençoarem, e amaldiçoarei os que te amaldiçoarem; e em ti serão benditas todas as famílias da terra.
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.
Assim partiu Abrão, como o Senhor lhe tinha dito, e foi Lot com ele: e era Abrão de idade de setenta e cinco anos, quando saiu de Haran.
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.
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 acresceram em Haran: e sairam para irem à terra de Canaan; e vieram à terra de Canaan.
6 And Abram traversed the land lengthwise as far as the place Sychem, to the high oak, and the Chananites then inhabited the land.
E passou Abrão por aquela terra até ao lugar de Sichem, até ao carvalho de Moreh; e estavam então os cananeus na terra.
7 And the Lord appeared to Abram, and said to him, I will give this land to your seed. And Abram built an altar there to the Lord who appeared to him.
E apareceu o Senhor a Abrão, e disse: Á tua semente darei esta terra. E edificou ali um altar ao Senhor, que lhe aparecera.
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.
E moveu-se dali para a montanha à banda do Oriente de Bethel, e armou a sua tenda, tendo Bethel ao ocidente, e Ai ao Oriente; e edificou ali um altar ao Senhor, e invocou o nome do Senhor.
9 And Abram departed and went and encamped in the wilderness.
Depois caminhou Abrão dali, seguindo ainda para a banda do Sul.
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.
E havia fome naquela terra: e desceu Abrão ao Egito, para peregrinar ali, porquanto a fome era grande na terra.
11 And it came to pass when Abram drew near to enter into Egypt, Abram said to Sara his wife, I know that you are a fair woman.
E aconteceu que, chegando ele para entrar no Egito, disse a Sarai, sua mulher: Ora bem sei que és mulher formosa à vista;
12 It shall come to pass then that when the Egyptians shall see you, they shall say, This is his wife, and they shall kill me, but they shall save you alive.
E será que, quando os egípcios te virem, dirão: Esta é sua mulher. E matar-me-ão a mim, e a ti te guardarão em vida
13 Say, therefore, I am his sister, that it may be well with me on account of you, and my soul shall live because of you.
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 it came to pass when Abram entered into Egypt—the Egyptians having seen his wife that she was very beautiful—
E aconteceu que, entrando Abrão no Egito, viram os egípcios a mulher, que era mui formosa.
15 that the princes of Pharao saw her, and praised her to Pharao and brought her into the house of Pharao.
E viram-na os príncipes do faraó, e gabaram-na diante do faraó: e foi a mulher tomada para casa do faraó.
16 And they treated Abram well on her account, and he had sheep, and calves, and asses, and menservants, and women-servants, and mules, and camels.
E fez bem a Abrão por amor dela; e ele teve ovelhas, e vacas, e jumentos, e servos e servas, e jumentas, e camelos.
17 And God afflicted Pharao with great and severe afflictions, and his house, because of Sara, Abram's wife.
Feriu, porém, o Senhor o faraó com grandes pragas, e a sua casa, por causa de Sarai, mulher de Abrão.
18 And Pharao having called Abram, said, What is this you have done to me, that you did not tell me that she was your wife?
Então chamou o faraó a Abrão, e disse: Que é isto que me fizeste? porque não me disseste que ela era tua mulher?
19 Therefore did you say, She is my sister? and I took her for a wife to myself; and now, behold, your wife is before you, take her and go quickly away.
Porque disseste: É minha irmã? de maneira que a houvera tomado por minha mulher: agora, pois, eis aqui tua mulher; toma-a e vai-te.
20 And Pharao gave charge to men concerning Abram, to join in sending him forward, and his wife, and all that he had.
E o faraó, deu ordens aos seus varões a seu respeito, e acompanharam-no a ele, e a sua mulher, e a tudo o que tinha.
