Chapter 12

12:1

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:

耶和华对Abram说，你要离开本地，本族，父家，往我所要指示你的地去。

12:2

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:

我必叫你称为大国，我必赐福给你，叫你的名为大，你也要叫别人得到赐福。

12:3

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.

为你祝福的，我必赐福与他。那诅咒你的，我必诅咒他，地上的万族都要因你得福。

12:4

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.

Abram就照着耶和华的吩咐去了。Lot也和他同去。Abram出Haran的时候，年七十五岁。

12:5

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.

Abram将他妻子Sarai和侄儿Lot，连他们在Haran所积蓄的财物，所得的人口，都带往Canaan去。他们就到了Canaan。

12:6

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

Abram经过那地，到了Sichem的Moreh橡树那里，是当时Canaan人所住的地方。

12:7

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.

耶和华向Abram显现，说，我要把这地赐给你的后裔。Abram就在那里为向他显现的耶和华建了一座坛。

12:8

And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel 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.

从那里他又迁到Bethel东边的山，支搭帐篷。西边是Bethel，东边是Hai。他在那里又为耶和华建了一座坛，求告耶和华的名。

12:9

And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.

后来Abram又渐渐迁往南边去。

12:10

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.

在那里他遭遇饥荒。因饥荒甚大，Abram就下埃及去，要在那里暂居。

12:11

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:

将近埃及，就对他妻子Sarai说，我知道你是容貌俊美的妇人，

12:12

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.

埃及人看见你必说，这是他的妻子，他们就要杀我，却叫你存活 。

12:13

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.

请你说，你是我的妹妹，使我因你得平安，我的命也因你存活。

12:14

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

Abram到了埃及，埃及人看见那妇人极其美貌。

12:15

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

法老的臣宰 看见了她，就在法老面前夸奖她。那妇人就被带进了法老的宫去。

12:16

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.

法老因这妇人就厚待Abram，Abram得了许多牛、羊、骆驼、公驴、母驴，仆婢。

12:17

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

耶和华因Abram妻子Sarai的缘故，降大灾与法老和他的全家。

12:18

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?

法老就召了Abram来，说，你这向我做的是什么事呢？为什么不告诉我她是你的妻子？

12:19

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.

为什么说她是你的妹妹，以致我把她取来要作我的妻子？现在你的妻子在这里，可以带她走吧。

12:20

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

于是法老吩咐人将Abram和他的妻子，并他所有的都送走了。
