Genesis 12
1 Now the LORD said to Abram, “Leave your country, and your relatives, and your father’s house, and go to the land that I will show you.
Gospod je torej rekel Abramu: »Pojdi ven iz svoje dežele in iz svojega sorodstva in iz hiše svojega očeta v deželo, ki ti jo bom pokazal.
2 I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing.
Iz tebe bom naredil velik narod in blagoslovil te bom in tvoje ime naredil veliko in ti boš blagoslov.
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.”
Blagoslovil bom tiste, ki te blagoslavljajo in preklel tistega, ki te preklinja, in v tebi bodo blagoslovljene vse družine zemlje.«
4 So Abram went, as the LORD had told him. Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.
Tako je Abram odšel, kakor mu je Gospod spregovoril in Lot je šel z njim. Abram pa je bil star petinsedemdeset let, ko je odšel iz Harána.
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.
Abram je vzel svojo ženo Sarájo in Lota, sina svojega brata ter vse njuno imetje, ki sta ga zbrala in duše, ki sta jih pridobila v Haránu in šli so, da gredo v kánaansko deželo in prišli so v kánaansko deželo.
6 Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time, Canaanites were in the land.
Abram je šel skozi deželo do kraja Sihem, na Moréjevo ravnino. In takrat je bil v deželi Kánaanec.
7 The LORD appeared to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your offspring.” He built an altar there to the LORD, who had appeared to him.
Gospod se je prikazal Abramu ter rekel: »To deželo bom dal tvojemu potomcu.« In tam je zgradil oltar Gospodu, ki se mu je prikazal.
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 the LORD and called on the LORD’s name.
Od tam se je prestavil h gori na vzhodu Betela ter postavil svoj šotor in Betel je imel na zahodu, Aj pa na vzhodu. Tam je zgradil oltar Gospodu ter klical h Gospodovemu imenu.
9 Abram traveled, still going on toward the South.
Abram je potoval in še vedno šel proti jugu.
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.
V deželi pa je bila lakota in Abram je odšel dol v Egipt, da tam začasno prebiva, kajti lakota v deželi je bila boleča.
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.
Toda pripetilo se je, ko je prišel blizu, da vstopi v Egipt, da je rekel svoji ženi Saráji: »Glej, torej vem, da si na pogled lepa ženska,
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.
zato se bo zgodilo, ko te bodo Egipčani zagledali, da bodo rekli: ›To je njegova žena‹ in bodo mene ubili, toda tebe bodo ohranili pri življenju.
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.”
Reci, prosim te, [da] si moja sestra, da bo zaradi tebe lahko dobro z menoj in bo moja duša živela zaradi tebe.«
14 When Abram had come into Egypt, Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.
Pripetilo se je, ko je Abram prišel v Egipt, da so Egipčani zagledali žensko, da je bila zelo lepa.
15 The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.
Tudi faraonovi princi so jo videli in jo priporočili pred faraonom in ženska je bila vzeta v faraonovo hišo.
16 He dealt well with Abram for her sake. He had sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.
In zaradi nje je [z] Abramom dobro ravnal, in imel je ovce, vole, osle, sluge, dekle, oslice in kamele.
17 The LORD afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.
Gospod pa je zaradi Abramove žene Saráje trpinčil faraona in njegovo hišo z velikimi nadlogami.
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?
Faraon je poklical Abrama ter mu rekel: »Kaj je to, kar si mi storil? Zakaj mi nisi povedal, da je bila tvoja žena?
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.”
Zakaj si rekel: ›Moja sestra je?‹ Tako bi jo lahko vzel k sebi za ženo. Zdaj torej glej svojo ženo, vzemi jo in pojdi svojo pot.«
20 Pharaoh commanded men concerning him, and they escorted him away with his wife and all that he had.
Faraon je glede njega zapovedal svojim ljudem in poslali so ga proč in njegovo ženo in vse, kar je imel.
