Genesis 12

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
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 Then the Lord said to Abram: “Depart from your land, and from your kindred, and from your father’s house, and come into the land that I will show you.
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 you a great nation, and I will bless you and magnify your name, and you will 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 those who bless you, and curse those who curse you, and in you all the families of the earth will 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 And so Abram departed just as the Lord had instructed him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed 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 his wife Sarai, and Lot, the son of his brother, and all the substance which they had come to possess, and the lives which they had acquired in Haran, and they departed in order to go to the land of Canaan. And when they arrived in it,
6 Abrão atravessou a terra até Siquém, até o carvalho de Moré. Os cananeus estavam então naquela terra.	6 Abram passed through the land even to the place of Shechem, as far as the famous steep valley. Now at that time, the Canaanite was 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 Then the Lord appeared to Abram, and he said to him, “To your offspring, I will give this land.” And there he built 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 there to a mountain, which was opposite the east of Bethel, he pitched his tent there, having Bethel to the west, and Hai on the east. He also built an altar there to the Lord, and he called upon his name.
9 Continuou depois sua viagem, de acampamento em acampamento, para Negeb.	9 And Abram traveled, going out and continuing further on, toward the south.
10 Sobreveio, porém, uma fome na região; e sendo grande a miséria, Abrão desceu ao Egito para aí viver algum tempo.	10 But a famine occurred in the land. And Abram descended to Egypt, to sojourn there. For famine prevailed over 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 close to entering Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai: “I know you to be a beautiful woman.
12 Quando os egípcios te virem, dirão: ?É sua mulher?, e me matarão, conservando-te a ti em vida.	12 And when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘She is his wife.’ And they will put me to death, and retain you.
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 Therefore, I beg you to say that you are my sister, so that it may be well with me because of you, and so that my soul may live by your favor.”
14 Chegando Abrão ao Egito, os egípcios notaram que sua mulher era extremamente bela.	14 And so, when Abram had arrived in Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was exceedingly 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 reported it to Pharaoh, and they praised her to him. And the woman was inducted into the house of Pharaoh.
16 por causa dela, Abrão foi bem tratado pelo faraó, e recebeu ovelhas, bois, jumentos, servos e servas, jumentas e camelos.	16 In truth, they treated Abram well because of her. And he had sheep and oxen and male donkeys, and men servants, and women servants, and female donkeys, 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 Pharaoh and his house with great wounds because of Sarai, the wife of Abram.
18 O faraó mandou chamá-lo e disse-lhe: "Que me levaste a fazer? Porque não me disseste que era tua mulher?	18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and he said to him: “What is this that you have done to me? Why did you not tell me she was your 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 reason did you claim her to be your sister, so that I would take her to me as a wife? Now therefore, behold your mate, receive her and go.”
20 Então, o faraó deu ordens aos seus para reconduzir Abrão e sua mulher com tudo o que lhe pertencia.	20 And Pharaoh instructed his men about Abram. And they led him away with his wife and all that he had.
