創世記

第12章

1 耶和華對亞伯蘭說:「你要離開你的[thy]本地、本族、父家,往我所要指示你的地去。

2 我必叫你成為大國。我必賜福給你,叫你的名為大;你也要叫別人得福。

3 為你祝福的,我必賜福與他;那咒詛你的,我必咒詛他。地上的各族[all families]都要因你得福。」

4 亞伯蘭就照著耶和華曉諭他的[spoken unto him]去了;羅得也和他同去。亞伯蘭出哈蘭的時候年七十五歲。

5 亞伯蘭將他妻子撒萊和姪兒羅得,連他們在哈蘭所積蓄的財物、所得的人口,都帶往迦南地去。他們就到了迦南地。

6 亞伯蘭經過那地,到了示劍地方、摩利平原[plain]那裏。那時迦南人住在那地。

7 耶和華向亞伯蘭顯現,說:「我要把這地賜給你的後裔。」亞伯蘭就在那裏為向他顯現的耶和華築了一座壇。

8 從那裏他又遷到伯.特利東邊的山,支搭帳棚;西邊是伯.特利,東邊是艾。他在那裏又為耶和華築了一座壇,求告耶和華的名。

9 後來亞伯蘭又漸漸遷往南地去。

10 那地遭遇饑荒。因饑荒甚大,亞伯蘭就下埃及去,要在那裏暫居。

11 將近埃及,就對他妻子撒萊說:「如今看哪[Behold now],我知道妳是容貌俊美的婦人。

12 埃及人看見你必說:『這是他的妻子』,他們就要殺我,卻叫你存活。

13 求妳說,妳是我的妹子,使我因妳得平安,我的命也因妳存活。」

14 及至亞伯蘭到了埃及,埃及人看見那婦人極其美貌。

15 法老的臣宰看見了她,就在法老面前誇獎她。那婦人就被帶進法老的宮去。

16 法老因這婦人就厚待亞伯蘭,亞伯蘭得了許多牛、羊、駱駝、公驢、母驢、僕婢。

17 耶和華因亞伯蘭妻子撒萊的緣故,降大災與法老和他的全家。

18 法老就召了亞伯蘭來,說:「你這向我所作的[hast done]是甚麼事呢?為甚麼沒有告訴我她是你的妻子?

19 為甚麼說:她是你的妹子?以致我幾乎已[might have]把她取來作我的妻子。現在你看[behold],你的妻子在這裏,可以帶她走吧。」

20 於是法老吩咐人將亞伯蘭和他妻子,並他所有的都送走了。

Genesis

Chapter 12

1 NOW the LORD said to Abram, Depart from your country, and from the place of your nativity, and from your father's house, to a land that I will show you;

2 And I will make of you a great people, and I will bless you, and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing;

3 And I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you: and in you shall all the families of the earth be blessed.

4 So Abram did 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 And Abram took Sarai his wife and Lot his brother's son and all their possessions which they had gained and the persons that they had gotten in Haran, and they went on their way to the land of Canaan, and to the land of Canaan they came.

6 And Abram passed through the land as far as the country of Shechem, and as far as the oak of Mamre. And the Canaanites were settled then in the land.

7 Then the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, To your descendants will I give this land; and Abram built there an altar to the LORD, for he had appeared to him.

8 And from thence he removed to a mountain on the east of Beth-el, and pitched his tent, having Beth-el on the west, and Ai on the east; and there he built an altar to the LORD and called upon the name of the LORD,

9 And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.

10 Now there was a famine in the land; so Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was severe in the land.

11 And it came to pass when he was about to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that you are a woman beautiful to look upon;

12 And it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians see you, they will say, This is his wife; and they will kill me, but they will spare you.

13 Say, therefore, that you are my sister because I will be treated well for your sake; and my life shall be spared because of you.

14 And it came to pass when Abram entered Egypt, the Egyptians saw that his wife was very beautiful.

15 The princes of Pharaoh also saw her and praised her before Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.

16 And Abram was well treated for her sake; and he became the owner of sheep, oxen, he asses, menservants, maidservants, she asses, and camels.

17 And the LORD afflicted Pharaoh and his household with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife.

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

19 Why did you say, She is my sister, so that I took her for my wife? Now, therefore, here is your wife, take her, and leave the country.

20 And Pharaoh charged his men concerning him; and sent him away together with his wife, and all that he had.
