¹A Hospodin riekol Abramovi: Vyjdi zo svojej zeme a zo svojho príbuzenstva i z domu svojho otca a iď do zeme, ktorú ti ukážem.

¹Now Yahweh said to Abram, “Get out of your country, and from your relatives, and from your father’s house, to the land that I will show you.

²A učiním ťa veľkým národom a požehnám ťa a zvelebím tvoje meno, a budeš požehnaním.

²I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing.

³A požehnám tých, ktorí ťa žehnajú, a tých, ktorí ti zlorečia, prekľajem, a budú požehnané v tebe všetky čeľade zeme.

³I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you. All of the families of the earth will be blessed in you.”

⁴Vtedy išiel Abram tak, ako mu hovoril Hospodin, a išiel s ním Lot. A Abramovi bolo sedemdesiatpäť rokov, keď vyšiel z Chárana.

⁴So Abram went, as Yahweh had spoken to him. Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed out of Haran.

⁵A Abram vzal Sáraj, svoju ženu, i Lota, syna svojho brata, a všetok ich nadobudnutý majetok, ktorý nadobudli, i duše, ktoré získali v Chárane, a vyšli, aby išli do zeme Kanaána, a prišli do zeme Kanaána.

⁵Abram took Sarai his wife, Lot his brother’s son, all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls whom they had gotten in Haran, and they went to go into the land of Canaan. Into the land of Canaan they came.

⁶A Abram prešiel zem až po miesto Sichem, až k dubu Móre. A vtedy bol v zemi Kananej.

⁶Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. The Canaanite was then in the land.

⁷A Hospodin sa ukázal Abramovi a riekol: Tvojmu semenu dám túto zem. A postavil tam oltár Hospodinovi, ktorý sa mu ukázal.

⁷Yahweh appeared to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your seed or, offspring .” He built an altar there to Yahweh, who appeared to him.

⁸Potom sa poberal odtiaľ k vrchu, ktorý je od východu Bét-ela, kde postavil svoj stán, takže mu bol Bét-el od mora, od západu, a Haj od východu, a postavil tam Hospodinovi oltár a vzýval meno Hospodinovo.

⁸He left from there to the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to Yahweh and called on the name of Yahweh.

⁹A odtiaľ sa pomaly rušal Abram na juh.

⁹Abram traveled, going on still toward the South.

¹⁰Potom povstal hlad v zemi, a Abram odišiel dolu do Egypta, aby sa tam zdržoval do času jako hosť, pretože bol veľký hlad v zemi.

¹⁰There was a famine in the land. Abram went down into Egypt to live as a foreigner there, for the famine was severe in the land.

¹¹A stalo sa, keď sa už priblížil, aby vošiel do Egypta, že povedal Sáraji, svojej žene: Nože hľa, viem, že si ty žena krásneho vzozrenia.

¹¹It happened, when he had come near to enter Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, “See now, I know that you are a beautiful woman to look at.

¹²A stane sa, keď ťa uvidia Egypťania, že povedia: To je jeho žena! A tak mňa zabijú a teba nechajú žiť.

¹²It will happen, when the Egyptians will see you, that they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ They will kill me, but they will save you alive.

¹³Hovor tedy, prosím, že si moja sestra, aby mi bolo dobre za teba, a moja duša bude žiť pre teba.

¹³Please say that you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that my soul may live because of you.”

¹⁴A stalo sa, keď vošiel Abram do Egypta, že videli Egypťania ženu, že je veľmi krásna.

¹⁴It happened that when Abram had come into Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.

¹⁵A uvidiac ju kniežatá faraonove chválili ju faraonovi, a žena bola vzatá do domu faraonovho.

¹⁵The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.

¹⁶A Abramovi robili dobra za ňu, a mal drobný dobytok, ovce a kozy, a voly a oslov a sluhov a dievky a oslice a veľblúdov.

¹⁶He dealt well with Abram for her sake. He had sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.

¹⁷Ale Hospodin bil faraona veľkými ranami i jeho dom pre Sáraj, ženu Abramovu.

¹⁷Yahweh plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.

¹⁸Vtedy povolal faraon Abrama a povedal: Čo si mi to urobil? Prečo si mi neoznámil, že je to tvoja žena?

¹⁸Pharaoh called Abram and said, “What is this that you have done to me? Why didn’t you tell me that she was your wife?

¹⁹Prečo si hovoril: Je moja sestra? A ja som si ju vzal za ženu. A tak teraz hľa, tu máš svoju ženu, vezmi a iď!

¹⁹Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her to be my wife? Now therefore, see your wife, take her, and go your way.”

²⁰A faraon rozkázal o ňom svojim mužom, a poslali ho preč i jeho ženu i so všetkým, čo bolo jeho.

²⁰Pharaoh commanded men concerning him, and they brought him on the way with his wife and all that he had.
