Genesis 12
1 Now Yahweh said to Abram, “Leave your country, and your relatives, and your father’s house, and go to the land that I will show you.
И рече Господ Авраму: Иди из земље своје и од рода свог и из дома оца свог у земљу коју ћу ти ја показати.
2 I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing.
И учинићу од тебе велик народ, и благословићу те, и име твоје прославићу, и ти ћеш бити благослов.
3 I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who treats you with contempt. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you.”
Благословићу оне који тебе узблагосиљају, и проклећу оне који тебе успроклињу; и у теби ће бити благословена сва племена на земљи.
4 So Abram went, as Yahweh had told him. Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.
Тада пође Аврам, као што му каза Господ, и с њим пође Лот. А беше Авраму седамдесет и пет година кад пође из Харана.
5 Abram took Sarai his wife, Lot his brother’s son, all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people whom they had acquired in Haran, and they went to go into the land of Canaan. They entered into the land of Canaan.
И узе Аврам Сару жену своју и Лота сина брата свог са свим благом које беху стекли и с душама које беху добили у Харану; и пођоше у земљу хананску, и дођоше у њу.
6 Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time, Canaanites were in the land.
И пође Аврам ту земљу до места Сихема и до равнице морешке; а беху тада Хананеји у тој земљи.
7 Yahweh appeared to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your offspring.” He built an altar there to Yahweh, who had appeared to him.
И јави се Господ Авраму и рече: Твом семену даћу земљу ову. И Аврам начини онде жртвеник Господу, који му се јавио.
8 He left from there to go to the mountain on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to Yahweh and called on Yahweh’s name.
После отиде оданде на брдо, које је према истоку од Ветиља, и онде разапе шатор свој, те му Ветиљ беше са запада а Гај с истока; и онде начини Господу жртвеник, и призва име Господње.
9 Abram traveled, still going on toward the South.
Оданде отиде Аврам даље идући на југ.
10 There was a famine in the land. Abram went down into Egypt to live as a foreigner there, for the famine was severe in the land.
Али наста глад у оној земљи, те Аврам сиђе у Мисир да се онде склони; јер глад беше велика у оној земљи.
11 When he had come near to enter Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, “See now, I know that you are a beautiful woman to look at.
А кад се приближи да већ уђе у Мисир, рече Сари жени својој: Гле, знам да си жена лепа у лицу.
12 It will happen that when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ They will kill me, but they will save you alive.
Зато кад те виде Мисирци рећи ће: Ово му је жена. Па ће ме убити, а тебе ће оставити у животу.
13 Please say that you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that my soul may live because of you.”
Него хајде кажи да си ми сестра, те ће мени бити добро тебе ради и остаћу у животу уз тебе.
14 When Abram had come into Egypt, Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.
И кад дође Аврам у Мисир, видеше Мисирци жену да је врло лепа.
15 The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.
И видеше је кнезови Фараонови, и хвалише је пред Фараоном. И узеше је у двор Фараонов.
16 He dealt well with Abram for her sake. He had sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.
И он чињаше добро Авраму ње ради, те имаше оваца и говеда и магараца и слуга и слушкиња и магарица и камила.
17 Yahweh afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.
Али Господ пусти велика зла на Фараона и на дом његов ради Саре жене Аврамове.
18 Pharaoh called Abram and said, “What is this that you have done to me? Why didn’t you tell me that she was your wife?
Тада дозва Фараон Аврама и рече му: Шта ми то учини? Зашто ми ниси казао да ти је жена?
19 Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her to be my wife? Now therefore, see your wife, take her, and go your way.”
Зашто си казао: Сестра ми је? Те је узех за жену. Сад ето ти жене, узми је, па иди.
20 Pharaoh commanded men concerning him, and they escorted him away with his wife and all that he had.
И Фараон заповеди људима за њ, те га испратише и жену његову и шта год имаше.
