Genesis 12
1 Then the Lord said to Abram: “Depart from your land, and from your kindred, and from your father’s house, and come into the land that I will show you.
Ngayon sinabi ni Yahweh kay Abram, “Humayo ka mula sa iyong bansa, at mula sa iyong mga kamag-anak, at mula sa sambahayan ng iyong ama, sa lupaing ipakikita ko sa iyo.
2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and magnify your name, and you will be blessed.
Gagawin kitang isang dakilang bansa, at pagpapalain kita, at gagawin kong dakila ang iyong pangalan at ikaw ay magiging isang pagpapala.
3 I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you, and in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.”
Pagpapalain ko ang magpapala sa iyo, pero sinuman ang maninira sa iyo ay susumpain ko. Sa pamamagitan mo, ang lahat ng mga pamilya sa buong mundo ay pagpapalain.”
4 And so Abram departed just as the Lord had instructed him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.
Kaya humayo si Abram, gaya ng sinabi ni Yahweh na kaniyang gawin, at sumama si Lot sa kaniya. Pitumpu't-limang taong gulang si Abram nang umalis siya sa Haran.
5 And he took his wife Sarai, and Lot, the son of his brother, and all the substance which they had come to possess, and the lives which they had acquired in Haran, and they departed in order to go to the land of Canaan. And when they arrived in it,
Isinama ni Abram si Sarai, na kaniyang asawa, si Lot, na anak na lalaki ng kaniyang kapatid, lahat ng mga ari-arian na kanilang naipon, at mga nakuha nilang mga tauhan sa Haran. Umalis sila patungo sa lupain ng Canaan, at pumunta sa lupain ng Canaan.
6 Abram passed through the land even to the place of Shechem, as far as the famous steep valley. Now at that time, the Canaanite was in the land.
Naglakbay si Abram hanggang sa Shekem sa kakahuyan ng Moreh. Sa panahong iyon ang mga Cananeo ang naninirahan sa lupain.
7 Then the Lord appeared to Abram, and he said to him, “To your offspring, I will give this land.” And there he built an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him.
Nagpakita si Yahweh kay Abram, at sinabing, “Ibibigay ko ang lupaing ito sa iyong mga kaapu-apuhan.” Kaya nagtayo roon si Abram ng altar para kay Yahweh, na nagpakita sa kaniya.
8 And passing on from there to a mountain, which was opposite the east of Bethel, he pitched his tent there, having Bethel to the west, and Hai on the east. He also built an altar there to the Lord, and he called upon his name.
Mula roon siya ay lumipat sa bulubunduking bayan sa silangan ng Bethel, kung saan niya itinayo ang kaniyang tolda, na ang Bethel ay nasa kanluran at ang Ai ay nasa silangan. Doon nagtayo siya ng altar para kay Yahweh at tumawag sa pangalan ni Yahweh.
9 And Abram traveled, going out and continuing further on, toward the south.
Pagkatapos nagpatuloy si Abram sa paglalakbay patungong Negeb.
10 But a famine occurred in the land. And Abram descended to Egypt, to sojourn there. For famine prevailed over the land.
Nagkaroon ng taggutom sa lupain, kaya bumaba si Abram papunta sa Ehipto para manirahan doon, dahil matindi ang taggutom sa lupain.
11 And when he was close to entering Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai: “I know you to be a beautiful woman.
Nang siya ay papasok na sa Ehipto, sinabi niya sa kaniyang asawang si Sarai, “Tingnan mo, alam kong ikaw ay isang magandang babae.
12 And when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘She is his wife.’ And they will put me to death, and retain you.
Kapag nakita ka ng mga taga-Ehipto sasabihin nilang, 'Ito ay kaniyang asawa,' at ako ay papatayin nila, pero hahayaan ka nilang mabuhay.
13 Therefore, I beg you to say that you are my sister, so that it may be well with me because of you, and so that my soul may live by your favor.”
Sabihin mong ikaw ay kapatid kong babae, para mapabuti ako ng dahil sa iyo, at maliligtas ang buhay ko dahil sa iyo.”
14 And so, when Abram had arrived in Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was exceedingly beautiful.
Nang papasok na si Abram sa Ehipto, nakita ng mga taga-Ehipto na napakaganda ni Sarai.
15 And the princes reported it to Pharaoh, and they praised her to him. And the woman was inducted into the house of Pharaoh.
Nakita siya ng mga prinsepe ng Paraon, at pinuri siya kay Paraon, at dinala ang babae sa sambahayan ng Paraon.
16 In truth, they treated Abram well because of her. And he had sheep and oxen and male donkeys, and men servants, and women servants, and female donkeys, and camels.
Pinakitunguhan nang mabuti ni Paraon si Abram alang-alang sa kaniya, at binigyan siya ng mga tupa, mga baka, mga lalaking asno, mga lalaki at babaeng lingkod, mga babaeng asno, at mga kamelyo.
17 But the Lord scourged Pharaoh and his house with great wounds because of Sarai, the wife of Abram.
Pagkatapos pinahirapan ni Yahweh ang Paraon at ang kaniyang sambahayan ng mga matinding salot dahil kay Sarai, na asawa ni Abram.
18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and he said to him: “What is this that you have done to me? Why did you not tell me she was your wife?
Pinatawag ng Paraon si Abram, at sinabing, “Ano itong ginawa mo sa akin? Bakit hindi mo sinabi sa akin na siya ay iyong asawa?
19 For what reason did you claim her to be your sister, so that I would take her to me as a wife? Now therefore, behold your mate, receive her and go.”
Bakit mo sinabing, 'Siya ay kapatid ko,' kaya kinuha ko siya na maging asawa ko? Kaya ngayon, narito ang iyong asawa. Isama mo siya, at umalis na kayo.”
20 And Pharaoh instructed his men about Abram. And they led him away with his wife and all that he had.
Pagkatapos, binigyan ng utos ng Paraon ang kaniyang mga tauhan patungkol sa kaniya, at siya ay pinaalis nila, kasama ang kaniyang asawa at ang lahat ng mayroon siya.
