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 Yahweh said to Abram, “Leave your country, and your relatives, and your father’s house, and go to the 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 of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You will 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. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you.”

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 went, as Yahweh had told him. Lot went with him. 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.

Abram took Sarai his wife, Lot his brother’s son, all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people whom they had acquired in Haran, and they went to go into the land of Canaan. They entered into 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, to the oak of Moreh. The Canaanites were in the land, then.

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.

Yahweh appeared to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your offspring.” He built an altar there to Yahweh, 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.

He left from there to go to the mountain on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to Yahweh and called on Yahweh’s name.

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

Abram traveled, still going on toward the South.

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

There was a famine in the land. Abram went down into Egypt to live as a foreigner 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;

When he had come near to enter Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, “See now, I know that you are a beautiful woman to look at.

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.

It will happen, when the Egyptians see you, that they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ They will kill me, but they will save you alive.

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

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

When Abram had come into Egypt, Egyptians saw that the woman 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 saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into 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 dealt well with Abram for her sake. He had sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male servants, 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.

Yahweh afflicted 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?

Pharaoh called Abram and said, “What is this that you have done to me? Why didn’t you 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,’ so that I took her to be my wife? Now therefore, see 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.

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