1 N ow 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.

Ora, 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.

2 I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing.

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

3 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.”

Abençoarei aos que te abençoarem, e amaldiçoarei

4 S o Abram went, as Yahweh had told him. Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.

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

5 A bram 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.

Abrão 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.

6 A bram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. The Canaanites were in the land, then.

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

7 Y ahweh 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.

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

8 H e 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.

Então 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.

9 A bram traveled, still going on toward the South.

Depois continuou Abrão o seu caminho, seguindo ainda para o sul.

10 T here 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.

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

11 W hen 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.

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

12 I t 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.

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.

13 P lease 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.”

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

14 W hen Abram had come into Egypt, Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.

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

15 T he princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.

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

16 H e dealt well with Abram for her sake. He had sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.

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

17 Y ahweh afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.

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

18 P haraoh called Abram and said, “What is this that you have done to me? Why didn’t you tell me that she was your wife?

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

19 W hy 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.”

Por 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.

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

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.
