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.

¹TUHAN berkata kepada Abram, "Tinggalkanlah negerimu, kaum keluargamu dan rumah ayahmu, lalu pergilah ke negeri yang akan Kutunjukkan kepadamu.

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

²Aku akan memberikan kepadamu keturunan yang banyak dan mereka akan menjadi bangsa yang besar. Aku akan memberkati engkau dan membuat namamu masyhur, sehingga engkau akan menjadi berkat.

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.”

³Aku akan memberkati orang-orang yang memberkati engkau dan mengutuk orang-orang yang mengutuk engkau. Dan karena engkau Aku akan memberkati semua bangsa di bumi."

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.

⁴Abram berusia tujuh puluh lima tahun ketika ia meninggalkan Haran, sesuai dengan perintah TUHAN kepadanya. Abram berangkat ke tanah Kanaan bersama-sama dengan Sarai istrinya, dan Lot kemanakannya, dan segala harta benda serta hamba-hamba yang mereka peroleh di Haran. Setelah mereka tiba di Kanaan,

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.

⁵(12:4)

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

⁶Abram menjelajahi tanah itu sampai ia tiba di pohon keramat di More, yaitu tempat ibadat di Sikhem. (Pada masa itu orang Kanaan masih mendiami tanah itu.)

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.

⁷TUHAN menampakkan diri kepada Abram dan berkata kepadanya, "Inilah negeri yang akan Kuberikan kepada keturunanmu." Lalu Abram mendirikan sebuah mezbah di situ untuk TUHAN yang telah menampakkan diri kepadanya.

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.

⁸Setelah itu ia meneruskan perjalanannya ke selatan, ke daerah berbukit di sebelah timur kota Betel, dan berkemah di antara Betel dan kota Ai: Betel di sebelah barat dan Ai di sebelah timur. Juga di situ ia mendirikan mezbah dan menyembah TUHAN.

⁹Abram traveled, going on still toward the South.

⁹Kemudian ia meneruskan lagi perjalanannya dari satu tempat ke tempat berikutnya, menuju ke bagian selatan tanah Kanaan.

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.

¹⁰Tetapi di Kanaan sedang ada kelaparan yang sangat hebat, sehingga Abram pergi lebih jauh lagi ke selatan, ke negeri Mesir untuk tinggal di sana sampai bencana itu lewat.

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.

¹¹Pada waktu ia hendak melintasi perbatasan dan masuk ke negeri Mesir, berkatalah ia kepada Sarai istrinya, "Engkau cantik, istriku.

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.

¹²Kalau orang Mesir melihatmu, mereka akan menduga bahwa engkau istriku lalu saya pasti dibunuh dan engkau dibiarkan hidup.

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.”

¹³Jadi sebaiknya kaukatakan saja bahwa engkau adik saya supaya saya dibiarkan hidup dan diperlakukan dengan baik karena engkau."

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

¹⁴Dan benarlah, setelah Abram melintasi perbatasan dan sampai di negeri Mesir, orang Mesir melihat bahwa Sarai cantik sekali.

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

¹⁵Beberapa orang pegawai istana melihat dia dan memberitahukan kepada raja betapa cantiknya wanita itu; sebab itu dia dibawa ke istana raja.

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

¹⁶Demi Sarai, raja memperlakukan Abram dengan baik dan memberikan kepadanya hamba-hamba, kawanan domba dan kambing, sapi, keledai dan unta.

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

¹⁷Tetapi karena raja mengambil Sarai, TUHAN mendatangkan penyakit-penyakit yang mengerikan atas raja dan orang-orang di dalam istananya.

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?

¹⁸Lalu raja memanggil Abram dan bertanya kepadanya, "Apa yang telah kaulakukan terhadap aku ini? Mengapa tidak kauberitahukan bahwa ia istrimu?

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.”

¹⁹Mengapa kaukatakan bahwa dia adikmu dan membiarkan aku mengambilnya menjadi istriku? Ini dia, istrimu; ambillah dan pergilah!"

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

²⁰Raja memberi perintah kepada beberapa pegawainya, dan mereka mengeluarkan Abram dari negeri itu bersama-sama dengan istrinya dan segala miliknya.
