Génesis 12
|
| Now the Lord said to Abram, Go out from your country and from your family and from your father's house, into the land to which I will be your guide: | Empero Jehová había dicho á Abram: Vete de tu tierra y de tu parentela, y de la casa de tu padre, á la tierra que te mostraré; |
| And I will make of you a great nation, blessing you and making your name great; and you will be a blessing: | Y haré de ti una nación grande, y bendecirte he, y engrandeceré tu nombre, y serás bendición: |
| To them who are good to you will I give blessing, and on him who does you wrong will I put my curse: and you will become a name of blessing to all the families of the earth. | Y bendeciré á los que te bendijeren, y á los que te maldijeren maldeciré: y serán benditas en ti todas las familias de la tierra. |
| So Abram went as the Lord had said to him, and Lot went with him: Abram was seventy-five years old when he went away from Haran. | Y fuése Abram, como Jehová le dijo; y fué con él Lot: y era Abram de edad de setenta y cinco años cuando salió de Harán. |
| And Abram took Sarai, his wife, and Lot, his brother's son, and all their goods and the servants which they had got in Haran, and they went out to go to the land of Canaan. | Y tomó Abram á Sarai su mujer, y á Lot hijo de su hermano, y toda su hacienda que habían ganado, y las almas que habían adquirido en Harán, y salieron para ir á tierra de Canaán; y á tierra de Canaán llegaron. |
| And Abram went through the land till he came to Shechem, to the holy tree of Moreh. At that time, the Canaanites were still living in the land. | Y pasó Abram por aquella tierra hasta el lugar de Sichêm, hasta el valle de Moreh: y el Cananeo estaba entonces en la tierra. |
| And the Lord came to Abram, and said, I will give all this land to your seed; then Abram made an altar there to the Lord who had let himself be seen by him. | Y apareció Jehová á Abram, y le dijo: A tu simiente daré esta tierra. Y edificó allí un altar á Jehová, que le había aparecido. |
| And moving on from there to the mountain on the east of Beth-el, he put up his tent, having Beth-el on the west and Ai on the east: and there he made an altar and gave worship to the name of the Lord. | Y pasóse de allí á un monte al oriente de Bethel, y tendió su tienda, teniendo á Bethel al occidente y Hai al oriente: y edificó allí altar á Jehová é invocó el nombre de Jehová. |
| And he went on, journeying still to the South. | Y movió Abram de allí, caminando y yendo hacia el Mediodía. |
| And because there was little food to be had in that land, he went down into Egypt. | Y hubo hambre en la tierra, y descendió Abram á Egipto para peregrinar allá; porque era grande el hambre en la tierra. |
| Now when he came near to Egypt, he said to Sarai, his wife, Truly, you are a fair woman and beautiful to the eye; | Y aconteció que cuando estaba para entrar en Egipto, dijo á Sarai su mujer: He aquí, ahora conozco que eres mujer hermosa de vista; |
| And I am certain that when the men of Egypt see you, they will say, This is his wife: and they will put me to death and keep you. | Y será que cuando te habrán visto los Egipcios, dirán: Su mujer es: y me matarán á mí, y á ti te reservarán la vida. |
| Say, then, that you are my sister, and so it will be well with me because of you, and my life will be kept safe on your account. | Ahora pues, di que eres mi hermana, para que yo haya bien por causa tuya, y viva mi alma por amor de ti. |
| And so it was that when Abram came into Egypt, the men of Egypt, looking on the woman, saw that she was fair. | Y aconteció que, como entró Abram en Egipto, los Egipcios vieron la mujer que era hermosa en gran manera. |
| And Pharaoh's great men, having seen her, said words in praise of her to Pharaoh, and she was taken into Pharaoh's house. | Viéronla también los príncipes de Faraón, y se la alabaron; y fué llevada la mujer á casa de Faraón: |
| And because of her, he was good to Abram, and he had sheep and oxen and asses, and men-servants and women-servants, and camels. | E hizo bien á Abram por causa de ella; y tuvo ovejas, y vacas, y asnos, y siervos, y criadas, y asnas y camellos. |
| And the Lord sent great troubles on Pharaoh's house because of Sarai, Abram's wife. | Mas Jehová hirió á Faraón y á su casa con grandes plagas, por causa de Sarai mujer de Abram. |
| Then Pharaoh sent for Abram, and said, What have you done to me? why did you not say that she was your wife? | Entonces Faraón llamó á Abram y le dijo: ¿Qué es esto que has hecho conmigo? ¿Por qué no me declaraste que era tu mujer? |
| Why did you say that she was your sister? so that I took her for my wife: now, take your wife and go on your way. | ¿Por qué dijiste: Es mi hermana? poniéndome en ocasión de tomarla para mí por mujer? Ahora pues, he aquí tu mujer, tómala y vete. |
| And Pharaoh gave orders to his men, and they sent him on his way, with his wife and all he had. | Entonces Faraón dió orden á sus gentes acerca de Abram; y le acompañaron, y á su mujer con todo lo que tenía. |
