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:
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.
2 Y hacerte he en gran gente, y bendecirte he, y engrandeceré tu nombre, y serás bendición.
And I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you and magnify your name, and you shall be blessed.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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 traversed the land lengthwise as far as the place Sychem, to the high oak, and the Chananites then inhabited 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 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.
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 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.
9 Y movió Abram de allí caminando, y yendo hacia el mediodía.
And Abram departed and went and encamped in the wilderness.
10 Y hubo hambre en la tierra, y descendió Abram a Egipto para peregrinar allá; porque era grave la hambre en la tierra.
And there was a famine in the land, and Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there, because the famine prevailed in the land.
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:
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.
12 Y será, que cuando te verán los Egipcios, dirán: Su mujer es. Y matarme han: y a ti darán la vida.
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.
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, therefore, I am his sister, that it may be well with me on account of you, and my soul shall live because of you.
14 Y aconteció, que como entró Abram en Egipto, los Egipcios vieron la mujer que era hermosa en gran manera.
And it came to pass when Abram entered into Egypt—the Egyptians having seen his wife that she was very beautiful—
15 Y viéronla los príncipes de Faraón, y alabáronla a Faraón, y fue llevada la mujer a casa de Faraón.
that the princes of Pharao saw her, and praised her to Pharao and brought her into the house of Pharao.
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 they treated Abram well on her account, and he had sheep, and calves, and asses, and menservants, and women-servants, and mules, and camels.
17 Mas Jehová hirió a Faraón y a su casa de grandes plagas por causa de Sarai mujer de Abram.
And God afflicted Pharao with great and severe afflictions, and his house, because of Sara, 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?
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?
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.
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.
20 Entonces Faraón mandó acerca de él a varones, que le acompañaron, y a su mujer, y a todo lo que tenía.
And Pharao gave charge to men concerning Abram, to join in sending him forward, and his wife, and all that he had.
