12:1 |
耶和華對亞伯蘭說、你要離開本地、本族、父家、往我所要指示你的地去。 |
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: |
|
12:2 |
我必叫你成為大國．我必賜福給你、叫你的名為大、你也要叫別人得福． |
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: |
|
12:3 |
為你祝福的、我必賜福與他、那咒詛你的、我必咒詛他、地上的萬族都要因你得福。 |
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. |
|
12:4 |
亞伯蘭就照着耶和華的吩咐去了．羅得也和他同去．亞伯蘭出哈蘭的時候、年七十五歲。 |
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. |
|
12:5 |
亞伯蘭將他妻子撒萊、和姪兒羅得、連他們在哈蘭所積蓄的財物、所得的人口、都帶往迦南地去．他們就到了迦南地。 |
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. |
|
12:6 |
亞伯蘭經過那地、到了示劍地方摩利橡樹那裏．那時迦南人住在那地。 |
And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land. |
|
12:7 |
耶和華向亞伯蘭顯現、說、我要把這地賜給你的後裔．亞伯蘭就在那裏為向他顯現的耶和華築了一座壇。 |
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. |
|
12:8 |
從那裏他又遷到伯特利東邊的山、支搭帳棚．西邊是伯特利、東邊是艾．他在那裏又為耶和華築了一座壇、求告耶和華的名。 |
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. |
|
12:9 |
後來亞伯蘭又漸漸遷往南地去。 |
And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south. |
|
12:10 |
那地遭遇饑荒、因饑荒甚大、亞伯蘭就下埃及去、要在那裏暫居。 |
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. |
|
12:11 |
將近埃及就對他妻子撒萊說、我知道你是容貌俊美的婦人． |
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: |
|
12:12 |
埃及人看見你必說、這是他的妻子、他們就要殺我、卻叫你存活。 |
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. |
|
12:13 |
求你說、你是我的妹子、使我因你得平安、我的命也因你存活。 |
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. |
|
12:14 |
及至亞伯蘭到了埃及、埃及人看見那婦人極其美貌。 |
And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair. |
|
12:15 |
法老的臣宰看見了他、就在法老面前誇獎他．那婦人就被帶進法老的宮去。 |
The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house. |
|
12:16 |
法老因這婦人就厚待亞伯蘭、亞伯蘭得了許多牛、羊、駱駝、公驢、母驢、僕婢。 |
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. |
|
12:17 |
耶和華因亞伯蘭妻子撒萊的緣故、降大災與法老和他的全家。 |
And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife. |
|
12:18 |
法老就召了亞伯蘭來、說、你這向我作的是甚麼事呢、為甚麼沒有告訴我他是你的妻子． |
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? |
|
12:19 |
為甚麼說、他是你的妹子、以致我把他取來要作我的妻子．現在你的妻子在這裏、可以帶他走罷。 |
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. |
|
12:20 |
於是法老吩咐人將亞伯蘭和他妻子、並他所有的都送走了。 |
And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had. |
