Génesis 12
1 Empero Jehová había dicho a Abram: Vete de tu tierra, y de tu parentela, y de la casa de tu padre, a la tierra que yo te mostraré:
Now the Lord said to Abram, Go out from your country and from your family and from your father's house, into the land to which I will be your guide:
2 Y hacerte he en gran gente, y bendecirte he, y engrandeceré tu nombre, y serás bendición.
And I will make of you a great nation, blessing you and making your name great; and you will be a blessing:
3 Y bendeciré a los que te bendijeren, y a los que te maldijeren maldeciré; y serán benditas en ti todas las familias de la tierra.
To them who are good to you will I give blessing, and on him who does you wrong will I put my curse: and you will become a name of blessing to all the families of the earth.
4 Y fuése Abram, como Jehová le dijo, y fue con él Lot: y era Abram de edad de setenta y cinco años, cuando salió de Harán.
So Abram went as the Lord had said to him, and Lot went with him: Abram was seventy-five years old when he went away from Haran.
5 Y tomó Abram a Sarai su mujer, y a Lot hijo de su hermano, y toda su hacienda que habían ganado, y las almas que habían hecho en Harán, y salieron para ir a tierra de Canaán: y llegaron a tierra de Canaán.
And Abram took Sarai, his wife, and Lot, his brother's son, and all their goods and the servants which they had got in Haran, and they went out to go to the land of Canaan.
6 Y pasó Abram por aquella tierra hasta el lugar de Siquem, hasta el alcornoque de More: y el Cananeo estaba entonces en la tierra.
And Abram went through the land till he came to Shechem, to the holy tree of Moreh. At that time, the Canaanites were still living in the land.
7 Y apareció Jehová a Abram, y díjole: A tu simiente daré esta tierra. Y edificó allí altar a Jehová, que le había aparecido.
And the Lord came to Abram, and said, I will give all this land to your seed; then Abram made an altar there to the Lord who had let himself be seen by him.
8 Y pasóse de allí al monte, al oriente de Bet-el, y tendió allí su tienda, Bet-el al occidente, y Hai al oriente. Y edificó allí altar a Jehová, e invocó el nombre de Jehová.
And moving on from there to the mountain on the east of Beth-el, he put up his tent, having Beth-el on the west and Ai on the east: and there he made an altar and gave worship to the name of the Lord.
9 Y movió Abram de allí caminando, y yendo hacia el mediodía.
And he went on, journeying still to the South.
10 Y hubo hambre en la tierra, y descendió Abram a Egipto para peregrinar allá; porque era grave la hambre en la tierra.
And because there was little food to be had in that land, he went down into Egypt.
11 Y aconteció, que cuando llegó para entrar en Egipto, dijo a Sarai su mujer: He aquí ahora, yo conozco que eres mujer hermosa de vista:
Now when he came near to Egypt, he said to Sarai, his wife, Truly, you are a fair woman and beautiful to the eye;
12 Y será, que cuando te verán los Egipcios, dirán: Su mujer es. Y matarme han: y a ti darán la vida.
And I am certain that when the men of Egypt see you, they will say, This is his wife: and they will put me to death and keep you.
13 Ahora pues, di que eres mi hermana, para que yo haya bien por causa tuya, y viva mi alma por amor de ti.
Say, then, that you are my sister, and so it will be well with me because of you, and my life will be kept safe on your account.
14 Y aconteció, que como entró Abram en Egipto, los Egipcios vieron la mujer que era hermosa en gran manera.
And so it was that when Abram came into Egypt, the men of Egypt, looking on the woman, saw that she was fair.
15 Y viéronla los príncipes de Faraón, y alabáronla a Faraón, y fue llevada la mujer a casa de Faraón.
And Pharaoh's great men, having seen her, said words in praise of her to Pharaoh, and she was taken into Pharaoh's house.
16 Y a Abram hizo bien por causa de ella, y tuvo ovejas, y vacas, y asnos, y siervos, y criadas, y asnas, y camellos.
And because of her, he was good to Abram, and he had sheep and oxen and asses, and men-servants and women-servants, and camels.
17 Mas Jehová hirió a Faraón y a su casa de grandes plagas por causa de Sarai mujer de Abram.
And the Lord sent great troubles on Pharaoh's house because of Sarai, Abram's wife.
18 Entonces Faraón llamó a Abram, y díjole: ¿Qué es esto que has hecho conmigo? ¿Por qué no me declaraste, que era tu mujer?
Then Pharaoh sent for Abram, and said, What have you done to me? why did you not say that she was your wife?
19 ¿Por qué dijiste: Es mi hermana? y yo la tomé para mí por mujer. Ahora pues, he aquí tu mujer, tóma la, y vete.
Why did you say that she was your sister? so that I took her for my wife: now, take your wife and go on your way.
20 Entonces Faraón mandó acerca de él a varones, que le acompañaron, y a su mujer, y a todo lo que tenía.
And Pharaoh gave orders to his men, and they sent him on his way, with his wife and all he had.
