¹Now 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 show thee:

¹In GOSPOD je rekel Abramu: Pojdi iz dežele svoje in od sorodovine svoje in iz očeta svojega hiše v deželo, ki ti jo pokažem;

²And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

²in storil te bom v narod velik in te blagoslovil, in poveličam ime tvoje, in v blagoslov bodi!

³And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

³In blagoslovil bom nje, ki blagoslavljajo tebe, in kdor te proklinja, njega bom proklel, in blagoslovljene bodo v tebi vse rodovine zemlje.

⁴So 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.

⁴In Abram se napoti, kakor mu je bil zapovedal GOSPOD, in Lot je šel ž njim; imel pa je Abram petinsedemdeset let, ko je potoval iz Harana.

⁵And 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.

⁵Vzame namreč Abram Sarajo, ženo svojo, in Lota, sina brata svojega, z vsem premoženjem svojim, katero so pridelali, in z dušami, ki so jih pridobili v Haranu, in odpotujejo, da bi šli v pokrajino Kanaansko. In prišli so v deželo Kanaansko.

⁶And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.

⁶In Abram preide deželo do kraja Sihema, do hrasta Morejevega. Bival je pa tedaj Kanaanec v deželi.

⁷And 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.

⁷In GOSPOD se prikaže Abramu ter reče: Semenu tvojemu hočem dati to deželo. Abram pa postavi tam oltar GOSPODU, ki se mu je bil prikazal.

⁸And 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.

⁸In napoti se odtod v gorovje proti jutranji strani Betela in postavi šator svoj: Betel mu je bil od zahoda in Aj od vzhoda; in postavi tam oltar GOSPODU, in klical je ime GOSPODOVO.

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

⁹Potem je potoval Abram dalje v južno stran.

¹⁰And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.

¹⁰Bila pa je lakota v deželi, zatorej gre Abram doli v Egipt, da bi tujčeval ondi, ker huda lakota je bila v deželi.

¹¹And 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:

¹¹In ko je bil že blizu, da pride v Egipt, reče Saraji, ženi svoji: Glej, znam, da si žena lepe postave.

¹²Therefore 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.

¹²Lahko se zgodi, ko te zagledajo Egipčani in reko: Ta je žena njegova, da me ubijejo, tebe pa ohranijo živo.

¹³Say, 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.

¹³Reci, prosim, da si sestra moja, da mi bo dobro zaradi tebe in da bom živel zavoljo tebe.

¹⁴And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.

¹⁴In zgodi se, ko je prišel Abram v Egipt, da so videli Egipčani ženo, da je silno lepa.

¹⁵The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.

¹⁵In videli so jo knezi Faraonovi in so jo hvalili pred Faraonom, in žena je bila vzeta v hišo Faraonovo.

¹⁶And 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.

¹⁶Ta je Abramu dobro storil zaradi nje, tako da je imel ovac ter volov in oslov ter hlapcev in dekel in velblodov.

¹⁷And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.

¹⁷Ali udari GOSPOD z velikimi stiskami Faraona in hišo njegovo zaradi Saraje, žene Abramove.

¹⁸And 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?

¹⁸In pokliče Faraon Abrama ter reče: Kaj si mi to storil? Zakaj mi nisi povedal, da je tá žena tvoja?

¹⁹Why 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.

¹⁹Zakaj si rekel: Sestra je moja? In vzel sem jo, da mi bodi žena. In sedaj, glej, tu imaš ženo svojo, vzemi jo in odidi!Tedaj ukaže Faraon zanj možem, ki so ga spremili in ženo njegovo in vse, kar je imel.

²⁰And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.

²⁰Tedaj ukaže Faraon zanj možem, ki so ga spremili in ženo njegovo in vse, kar je imel.
