1 O ra, o Senhor disse a Abrão: Sai-te da tua terra, da tua parentela, e da casa de teu pai, para a terra que eu te mostrarei.

Now the Lord had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you.

2 E u farei de ti uma grande nação; abençoar-te-ei, e engrandecerei o teu nome; e tu, sê uma bênção.

I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing.

3 A bençoarei aos que te abençoarem, e amaldiçoarei

I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

4 P artiu, pois Abrão, como o Senhor lhe ordenara, e Ló foi com ele. Tinha Abrão setenta e cinco anos quando saiu de Harã.

So Abram departed as the Lord had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.

5 A brão levou consigo a Sarai, sua mulher, e a Ló, filho de seu irmão, e todos os bens que haviam adquirido, e as almas que lhes acresceram em Harã; e saíram a fim de irem ã terra de Canaã; e ã terra de Canaã chegaram.

Then Abram took Sarai his wife and Lot his brother’s son, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people whom they had acquired in Haran, and they departed to go to the land of Canaan. So they came to the land of Canaan.

6 P assou Abrão pela terra até o lugar de Siquém, até o carvalho de Moré. Nesse tempo estavam os cananeus na terra.

Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, as far as the terebinth tree of Moreh. And the Canaanites were then in the land.

7 A pareceu, porém, o Senhor a Abrão, e disse: ë tua semente darei esta terra. Abrão, pois, edificou ali um altar ao Senhor, que lhe aparecera.

Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, “To your descendants I will give this land.” And there he built an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him.

8 E ntão passou dali para o monte ao oriente de Betel, e armou a sua tenda, ficando-lhe Betel ao ocidente, e Ai ao oriente; também ali edificou um altar ao Senhor, e invocou o nome do Senhor.

And he moved from there to the mountain east of Bethel, and he pitched his tent with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; there he built an altar to the Lord and called on the name of the Lord.

9 D epois continuou Abrão o seu caminho, seguindo ainda para o sul.

So Abram journeyed, going on still toward the South. Abram in Egypt

10 O ra, havia fome naquela terra; Abrão, pois, desceu ao Egito, para peregrinar ali, porquanto era grande a fome na terra.

Now there was a famine in the land, and Abram went down to Egypt to dwell there, for the famine was severe in the land.

11 Q uando ele estava prestes a entrar no Egito, disse a Sarai, sua mulher: Ora, bem sei que és mulher formosa ã vista;

And it came to pass, when he was close to entering Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, “Indeed I know that you are a woman of beautiful countenance.

12 e acontecerá que, quando os egípcios te virem, dirão: Esta é mulher dele. E me matarão a mim, mas a ti te guardarão em vida.

Therefore it will happen, when the Egyptians see you, that they will say, ‘This is his wife’; and they will kill me, but they will let you live.

13 D ize, peço-te, que és minha irmã, para que me vá bem por tua causa, e que viva a minha alma em atenção a ti.

Please say you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that I may live because of you.”

14 E aconteceu que, entrando Abrão no Egito, viram os egípcios que a mulher era mui formosa.

So it was, when Abram came into Egypt, that the Egyptians saw the woman, that she was very beautiful.

15 A té os príncipes de Faraó a viram e gabaram-na diante dele; e foi levada a mulher para a casa de Faraó.

The princes of Pharaoh also saw her and commended her to Pharaoh. And the woman was taken to Pharaoh’s house.

16 E ele tratou bem a Abrão por causa dela; e este veio a ter ovelhas, bois e jumentos, servos e servas, jumentas e camelos.

He treated Abram well for her sake. He had sheep, oxen, male donkeys, male and female servants, female donkeys, and camels.

17 F eriu, porém, o Senhor a Faraó e a sua casa com grandes pragas, por causa de Sarai, mulher de Abrão.

But the Lord plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.

18 E ntão chamou Faraó a Abrão, e disse: Que é isto que me fizeste? por que não me disseste que ela era tua mulher?

And Pharaoh called Abram and said, “What is this you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife?

19 P or que disseste: E minha irmã? de maneira que a tomei para ser minha mulher. Agora, pois, eis aqui tua mulher; toma-a e vai-te.

Why did you say, ‘She is my sister’? I might have taken her as my wife. Now therefore, here is your wife; take her and go your way.”

20 E Faraó deu ordens aos seus guardas a respeito dele, os quais o despediram a ele, e a sua mulher, e a tudo o que tinha.

So Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him; and they sent him away, with his wife and all that he had.
