Genesis 12

Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:

وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لأَبْرَامَ: «اذْهَبْ مِنْ أَرْضِكَ وَمِنْ عَشِيرَتِكَ وَمِنْ بَيْتِ أَبِيكَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أُرِيكَ.

And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

فَأَجْعَلَكَ أُمَّةً عَظِيمَةً وَأُبَارِكَكَ وَأُعَظِّمَ اسْمَكَ، وَتَكُونَ بَرَكَةً.

And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

وَأُبَارِكُ مُبَارِكِيكَ، وَلاَعِنَكَ أَلْعَنُهُ. وَتَتَبَارَكُ فِيكَ جَمِيعُ قَبَائِلِ الأَرْضِ».

So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.

فَذَهَبَ أَبْرَامُ كَمَا قَالَ لَهُ الرَّبُّ وَذَهَبَ مَعَهُ لُوطٌ. وَكَانَ أَبْرَامُ ابْنَ خَمْسٍ وَسَبْعِينَ سَنَةً لَمَّا خَرَجَ مِنْ حَارَانَ.

And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.

فَأَخَذَ أَبْرَامُ سَارَايَ امْرَأَتَهُ، وَلُوطًا ابْنَ أَخِيهِ، وَكُلَّ مُقْتَنَيَاتِهِمَا الَّتِي اقْتَنَيَا وَالنُّفُوسَ الَّتِي امْتَلَكَا فِي حَارَانَ. وَخَرَجُوا لِيَذْهَبُوا إِلَى أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ. فَأَتَوْا إِلَى أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ.

And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.

وَاجْتَازَ أَبْرَامُ فِي الأَرْضِ إِلَى مَكَانِ شَكِيمَ إِلَى بَلُّوطَةِ مُورَةَ. وَكَانَ الْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ حِينَئِذٍ فِي الأَرْضِ.

And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.

وَظَهَرَ الرَّبُّ لأَبْرَامَ وَقَالَ: «لِنَسْلِكَ أُعْطِي هذِهِ الأَرْضَ». فَبَنَى هُنَاكَ مَذْبَحًا لِلرَّبِّ الَّذِي ظَهَرَ لَهُ.

And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Beth–el, and pitched his tent, having Beth–el on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD.

ثُمَّ نَقَلَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ إِلَى الْجَبَلِ شَرْقِيَّ بَيْتِ إِيل وَنَصَبَ خَيْمَتَهُ. وَلَهُ بَيْتُ إِيلَ مِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَعَايُ مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ. فَبَنَى هُنَاكَ مَذْبَحًا لِلرَّبِّ وَدَعَا بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ.

And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.

ثُمَّ ارْتَحَلَ أَبْرَامُ ارْتِحَالاً مُتَوَالِيًا نَحْوَ الْجَنُوبِ.

And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.

وَحَدَثَ جُوعٌ فِي الأَرْضِ، فَانْحَدَرَ أَبْرَامُ إِلَى مِصْرَ لِيَتَغَرَّبَ هُنَاكَ، لأَنَّ الْجُوعَ فِي الأَرْضِ كَانَ شَدِيدًا.

And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon:

وَحَدَثَ لَمَّا قَرُبَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ مِصْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِسَارَايَ امْرَأَتِهِ: «إِنِّي قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكِ امْرَأَةٌ حَسَنَةُ الْمَنْظَرِ.

Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive.

فَيَكُونُ إِذَا رَآكِ الْمِصْرِيُّونَ أَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ: هذِهِ امْرَأَتُهُ. فَيَقْتُلُونَنِي وَيَسْتَبْقُونَكِ.

Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.

قُولِي إِنَّكِ أُخْتِي، لِيَكُونَ لِي خَيْرٌ بِسَبَبِكِ وَتَحْيَا نَفْسِي مِنْ أَجْلِكِ».

And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.

فَحَدَثَ لَمَّا دَخَلَ أَبْرَامُ إِلَى مِصْرَ أَنَّ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ رَأَوْا الْمَرْأَةَ أَنَّهَا حَسَنَةٌ جِدًّا.

The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.

وَرَآهَا رُؤَسَاءُ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَدَحُوهَا لَدَى فِرْعَوْنَ، فَأُخِذَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ إِلَى بَيْتِ فِرْعَوْنَ،

And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.

فَصَنَعَ إِلَى أَبْرَامَ خَيْرًا بِسَبَبِهَا، وَصَارَ لَهُ غَنَمٌ وَبَقَرٌ وَحَمِيرٌ وَعَبِيدٌ وَإِمَاءٌ وَأُتُنٌ وَجِمَالٌ.

And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.

فَضَرَبَ الرَّبُّ فِرْعَوْنَ وَبَيْتَهُ ضَرَبَاتٍ عَظِيمَةً بِسَبَبِ سَارَايَ امْرَأَةِ أَبْرَامَ.

And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?

فَدَعَا فِرْعَوْنُ أَبْرَامَ وَقَالَ: «مَا هذَا الَّذِي صَنَعْتَ بِي؟ لِمَاذَا لَمْ تُخْبِرْنِي أَنَّهَا امْرَأَتُكَ؟

Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way.

لِمَاذَا قُلْتَ: هِيَ أُخْتِي، حَتَّى أَخَذْتُهَا لِي لِتَكُونَ زَوْجَتِي؟ وَالآنَ هُوَذَا امْرَأَتُكَ! خُذْهَا وَاذْهَبْ!».

And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.

فَأَوْصَى عَلَيْهِ فِرْعَوْنُ رِجَالاً فَشَيَّعُوهُ وَامْرَأَتَهُ وَكُلَّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ.
