创世记 12
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
上帝呼召亚伯兰
12 耶和华对亚伯兰说：“你要离开家乡、亲族和父亲的家，到我要指示你的地方去。 2 我必使你成为大国，我必赐福给你，使你声名远播。你必成为别人的祝福。 3 我必赐福给那些祝福你的人，咒诅那些咒诅你的人。世上万族必因你而蒙福。”
4 亚伯兰就照耶和华的吩咐离开哈兰，侄儿罗得与他同行。那时亚伯兰七十五岁。 5 亚伯兰带着妻子撒莱、侄儿罗得以及在哈兰积攒的财物和所得的奴仆启程来到迦南。到了迦南以后， 6 亚伯兰继续前行，来到示剑的摩利橡树[a]那里。当时迦南人住在那地方。 7 耶和华向亚伯兰显现，对他说：“我要把这片土地赐给你的后裔。”亚伯兰就在那里为向他显现的耶和华筑了一座坛。 8 然后，他们又启程前往伯特利东面的山区，在那里搭起帐篷。他们的西面是伯特利，东面是艾。亚伯兰又在那里筑了一座坛，求告耶和华。 9 之后，亚伯兰继续前往南地。
亚伯兰逃荒到埃及
10 当时，那地方闹饥荒，灾情非常严重，亚伯兰便下到埃及暂住。 11 快要到埃及的时候，他对妻子撒莱说：“我知道你是个美貌的女子， 12 埃及人看见你，一定会因为你是我的妻子而杀了我，让你活着。 13 所以，请你说你是我的妹妹，这样他们会因为你而善待我，留我一命。” 14 亚伯兰一行到了埃及，撒莱的美貌引起了埃及人的注意。 15 法老的官员见了撒莱，就在法老面前称赞她的美貌，她便被带进法老的王宫。 16 因为撒莱的缘故，法老厚待亚伯兰，赏给他许多牛、羊、驴、骆驼和仆婢。
17 耶和华因亚伯兰妻子撒莱的缘故使法老和他全家患重病。 18 法老便召见亚伯兰，说：“你做的是什么事？为什么不告诉我她是你妻子？ 19 为什么说她是你妹妹，以致我娶她为妻呢？现在你妻子在这里，带她走吧！” 20 法老就吩咐人把亚伯兰、他妻子以及他所有的一切都送走了。
Genesis 12
International Children’s Bible
God Calls Abram
12 Then the Lord said to Abram, “Leave your country, your relatives and your father’s family. Go to the land I will show you.
2 I will make you a great nation,
and I will bless you.
I will make you famous.
And you will be a blessing to others.
3 I will bless those who bless you.
I will place a curse on those who harm you.
And all the people on earth
will be blessed through you.”
4 So Abram left Haran as the Lord had told him. And Lot went with him. At this time Abram was 75 years old. 5 Abram took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot and everything they owned. They took all the servants they had gotten in Haran. They set out from Haran, planning to go to the land of Canaan. In time they arrived there.
6 Abram traveled through that land. He went as far as the great tree of Moreh at Shechem. The Canaanites were living in the land at that time. 7 The Lord appeared to Abram. The Lord said, “I will give this land to your descendants.” So Abram built an altar there to the Lord, who had appeared to him. 8 Then Abram traveled from Shechem to the mountain east of Bethel. And he set up his tent there. Bethel was to the west, and Ai was to the east. There Abram built another altar to the Lord and worshiped him. 9 After this, he traveled on toward southern Canaan.
Abram Goes to Egypt
10 At this time there was not much food in the land. So Abram went down to Egypt to live because there was so little food. 11 Just before they arrived in Egypt, Abram said to his wife Sarai, “I know you are a very beautiful woman. 12 When the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This woman is his wife.’ Then they will kill me but let you live. 13 Tell them you are my sister. Then things will go well with me. And I may be allowed to live because of you.”
14 So Abram went into Egypt. The people of Egypt saw that Sarai was very beautiful. 15 Some of the Egyptian officers saw her also. They told the king of Egypt how beautiful she was. They took her to the king’s palace. 16 The king was kind to Abram because he thought Abram was Sarai’s brother. He gave Abram sheep, cattle and male and female donkeys. Abram also was given male and female servants and camels.
17 But the Lord sent terrible diseases on the king and all the people in his house. This was because of Abram’s wife Sarai. 18 So the king sent for Abram. The king said, “What have you done to me? Why didn’t you tell me Sarai was your wife? 19 Why did you say, ‘She is my sister’? I made her my wife. But now here is your wife. Take her and leave!” 20 Then the king commanded his men to make Abram leave Egypt. So Abram and his wife left with everything they owned.
