Genesis 12

SAGRADA BIBLIA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 O Senhor disse a Abrão: "Deixa tua terra, tua família e a casa de teu pai e vai para a terra que eu te mostrar.	1 And the Lord said to Abram: Go forth out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and out of they father's house, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.
2 Farei de ti uma grande nação; eu te abençoarei e exaltarei o teu nome, e tu serás uma fonte de bênçãos.	2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and magnify thy name, and thou shalt be blessed.
3 Abençoarei aqueles que te abençoarem, e amaldiçoarei aqueles que te amaldiçoarem; todas as famílias da terra serão benditas em ti."	3 I will bless them that bless thee, and curse them that curse thee, and IN THEE shall all the kindred of the earth be blessed:
4 Abrão partiu como o Senhor lhe tinha dito, e Lot foi com ele. Abrão tinha setenta e cinco anos, quando partiu de Harã.	4 So Abram went out as the Lord had commanded him, and Lot went with him: Abram was seventy-five years old when he went forth from Haran.
5 Tomou Sarai, sua mulher, e Lot, filho de seu irmão, assim como todos os bens que possuíam e os escravos que tinham adquirido em Harã, e partiram para a terra de Canaã. Ali chegando,	5 And he took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all the substance which they had gathered, and the souls which they had gotten in Haran: and they went out to go into the land of Chanaan. And when they were come into it,
6 Abrão atravessou a terra até Siquém, até o carvalho de Moré. Os cananeus estavam então naquela terra.	6 Abram passed through the country into the place of Sichem, as far as the noble vale: now the Chanaanite was at that time in the land.
7 O Senhor apareceu a Abrão e disse-lhe: "Darei esta terra à tua posteridade." Abrão edificou um altar ao Senhor, que lhe tinha aparecido.	7 And the Lord appeared to Abram, and said to him: To thy seed will I give this land. And he built there an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him.
8 Em seguida, partindo dali, foi para a montanha que está ao oriente de Betel, onde levantou a sua tenda, tendo Betel ao ocidente e Hai ao oriente. Abrão edificou ali um altar ao Senhor, e invocou o seu nome.	8 And passing on from thence to a mountain, that was on the east side of Bethel, he there pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east; he built there also an altar to the Lord, and called upon his name.
9 Continuou depois sua viagem, de acampamento em acampamento, para Negeb.	9 And Abram went forward, going, and proceeding on to the south.
10 Sobreveio, porém, uma fome na região; e sendo grande a miséria, Abrão desceu ao Egito para aí viver algum tempo.	10 And there came a famine in the country; and Abram went down into Egypt, to sojourn there: for the famine was very grievous in the land.
11 Quando estava para entrar no Egito, disse a Sarai sua mulher: "Escuta, sei que és uma mulher formosa.	11 And when he was near to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife: I know that thou art a beautiful woman:
12 Quando os egípcios te virem, dirão: ?É sua mulher?, e me matarão, conservando-te a ti em vida.	12 And that when the Egyptians shall see thee, they will say: She is his wife: and they will kill me, and keep thee.
13 Dize, pois, que és minha irmã, para que eu seja poupado por causa de ti, e me conservem a vida em atenção a ti."	13 Say, therefore, I pray thee, that thou art my sister: that I may be well used for thee, and that my soul may live for thy sake.
14 Chegando Abrão ao Egito, os egípcios notaram que sua mulher era extremamente bela.	14 And when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians saw the woman that she was very beautiful.
15 Os grandes da corte, vendo-a, elogiaram-na diante do faraó, e a mulher foi introduzida no seu palácio.	15 And the princes told Pharao, and praised her before him: and the woman was taken into the house of Pharao.
16 por causa dela, Abrão foi bem tratado pelo faraó, e recebeu ovelhas, bois, jumentos, servos e servas, jumentas e camelos.	16 And they used Abram well for her sake. And he had sheep and oxen, and he asses, and menservants and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.
17 O Senhor, porém, feriu com grandes pragas o faraó e a sua casa, por causa de Sarai, mulher de Abrão.	17 But the Lord scourged Pharao and his house with most grievous stripes for Sarai, Abram's wife.
18 O faraó mandou chamá-lo e disse-lhe: "Que me levaste a fazer? Porque não me disseste que era tua mulher?	18 And Pharao called Abram, and said to him: What is this that thou hast done to me? Why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife.
19 Por que disseste que ela era tua irmã, levando-me e a tomá-la por esposa? Mas agora eis tua mulher: toma-a e vai-te!"	19 For what cause didst thou say, she was thy sister, that I might take her to my wife? Now therefore, there is thy wife, take her, and go thy way.
20 Então, o faraó deu ordens aos seus para reconduzir Abrão e sua mulher com tudo o que lhe pertencia.	20 And Pharao gave his men orders concerning Abram: and they led him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
