Yahweh Appears to Abram
12 And (A)Yahweh said to Abram,
“[a]Go forth from your land,
And from your kin
And from your father’s house,
To the land which I will show you;
2 And (B)I will make you a great nation,
And (C)I will bless you,
And make your name great;
And so [b](D)you shall be a blessing;
3 And (E)I will bless those who bless you,
And the one who [c]curses you I will [d]curse.
(F)And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.”
4 So Abram went forth as Yahweh had spoken to him; and (G)Lot went with him. Now Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. 5 So Abram took Sarai his wife and Lot his brother’s son, and all their (H)possessions which they had accumulated, and (I)the [e]persons which they had acquired in Haran, and they departed to go forth to the land of Canaan; (J)thus they came to the land of Canaan. 6 And Abram passed through the land as far as the site of (K)Shechem, to the [f]oak of Moreh. Now the Canaanite was then in the land. 7 Then Yahweh (L)appeared to Abram and said, “(M)To your seed I will give this land.” So he built (N)an altar there to Yahweh who had appeared to him. 8 Then he proceeded from there to the mountain on the east of Bethel, and he pitched his tent with (O)Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; and there he built an altar to Yahweh and (P)called upon the name of Yahweh. 9 And Abram journeyed on, continuing toward (Q)the [g]Negev.
Abram and Sarai in Egypt
10 Now there was (R)a famine in the land; so Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine was (S)severe in the land. 11 And it happened as he drew near to entering Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, “Now behold, I know that you are a woman (T)beautiful in appearance; 12 (U)and it will be when the Egyptians see you, that they will say, ‘This is his wife’; and they will kill me, but they will let you live. 13 Please say that you are (V)my sister so that it may go well with me because of you, and that [h](W)I may live on account of you.” 14 Now it happened when Abram came into Egypt, that the Egyptians [i]saw that the woman was very beautiful. 15 And Pharaoh’s officials saw her and praised her to Pharaoh; and (X)the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house. 16 Therefore (Y)he treated Abram well because of her; and sheep and oxen and donkeys and male and female servants and female donkeys and camels [j](Z)came into his possession.
17 But Yahweh (AA)struck Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife. 18 Then Pharaoh called Abram and said, “(AB)What is this you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife? 19 Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her for myself as a wife? So now, [k]here is your wife, take her and go.” 20 So Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him; and they [l]sent him away with his wife and all that belonged to him.

The Call of Abram
12 The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household(A) to the land(B) I will show you.(C)
2 “I will make you into a great nation,(D)
and I will bless you;(E)
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.[a](F)
3 I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;(G)
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you.(H)”[b]
4 So Abram went, as the Lord had told him; and Lot(I) went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old(J) when he set out from Harran.(K) 5 He took his wife Sarai,(L) his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had accumulated(M) and the people(N) they had acquired in Harran, and they set out for the land of Canaan,(O) and they arrived there.
6 Abram traveled through the land(P) as far as the site of the great tree of Moreh(Q) at Shechem.(R) At that time the Canaanites(S) were in the land. 7 The Lord appeared to Abram(T) and said, “To your offspring[c] I will give this land.(U)”(V) So he built an altar there to the Lord,(W) who had appeared to him.
8 From there he went on toward the hills east of Bethel(X) and pitched his tent,(Y) with Bethel on the west and Ai(Z) on the east. There he built an altar to the Lord and called on the name of the Lord.(AA)
9 Then Abram set out and continued toward the Negev.(AB)
Abram in Egypt(AC)
10 Now there was a famine in the land,(AD) and Abram went down to Egypt to live there for a while because the famine was severe.(AE) 11 As he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai,(AF) “I know what a beautiful woman(AG) you are. 12 When the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ Then they will kill me but will let you live. 13 Say you are my sister,(AH) so that I will be treated well for your sake and my life will be spared because of you.”
14 When Abram came to Egypt, the Egyptians saw that Sarai was a very beautiful woman.(AI) 15 And when Pharaoh’s officials saw her, they praised her to Pharaoh, and she was taken into his palace. 16 He treated Abram well for her sake, and Abram acquired sheep and cattle, male and female donkeys, male and female servants, and camels.(AJ)
17 But the Lord inflicted(AK) serious diseases on Pharaoh and his household(AL) because of Abram’s wife Sarai. 18 So Pharaoh summoned Abram. “What have you done to me?”(AM) he said. “Why didn’t you tell me she was your wife?(AN) 19 Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’(AO) so that I took her to be my wife? Now then, here is your wife. Take her and go!” 20 Then Pharaoh gave orders about Abram to his men, and they sent him on his way, with his wife and everything he had.

Áp-ram Được Chúa Chọn
12 CHÚA bảo Áp-ram: “Con hãy rời bỏ quê hương, dân con và nhà cha con để đi đến xứ Ta sẽ chỉ cho.
2 Ta sẽ làm cho con thành một nước lớn.
Ta sẽ ban phước lành cho con
Và làm nổi danh con
Và con sẽ thành một nguồn phước.
3 Ta sẽ ban phước lành cho ai chúc phước con
Và rủa sả kẻ nào nguyền rủa con;
Tất cả các dân tộc trên thế giới
Sẽ nhờ con mà được phước.”
Áp-ram Di Cư Qua Ca-na-an
4 Áp-ram ra đi đúng theo lời CHÚA truyền bảo. Lót cùng đi với ông. Áp-ram được bảy mươi lăm tuổi khi ông rời bỏ Cha-ran. 5 Áp-ram đem Sa-rai vợ mình, Lót, cháu mình, tất cả tài sản ông tạo được và các tôi tớ ông đã có được ở Cha-ran ra đi để đến xứ Ca-na-an và vào xứ ấy.
6 Áp-ram đi qua trong xứ đến tận thành Si-chem, tại cây sồi của Mô-rê. Dân Ca-na-an đang ở tại đó. 7 CHÚA hiện ra, nói với Áp-ram: “Ta sẽ ban cho dòng dõi con vùng đất này!” Tại đây Áp-ram lập một bàn thờ CHÚA, Đấng đã hiện ra với ông.
8 Từ đó, Áp-ram đến vùng đồi núi ở phía đông Bê-tên và hạ trại ở đó. Ông lập một bàn thờ tại đó, Bê-tên ở phía tây và A-hi ở phía đông rồi ông cầu khẩn danh CHÚA. 9 Áp-ram di chuyển dần xuống Nê-ghép[a].
10 Xứ này bị nạn đói, Áp-ram xuống Ai-cập kiều ngụ vì nạn đói rất trầm trọng. 11 Khi sắp vào Ai-cập, Áp-ram nói với Sa-rai, vợ mình: “Ta biết nàng là người đàn bà đẹp. 12 Khi người Ai-cập thấy nàng, họ sẽ nói đấy là vợ nó; rồi họ sẽ giết ta và để nàng sống. 13 Xin nàng hãy nói nàng là em gái ta để vì cớ nàng mà họ đối xử tốt với ta và để ta khỏi mất mạng vì nàng.”
14 Áp-ram vào Ai-cập, dân Ai-cập thấy người đàn bà này rất đẹp. 15 Các quan lớn trong triều đình của Pha-ra-ôn cũng thấy Sa-rai và ca tụng nàng trước Pha-ra-ôn, nên nàng bị đem vào cung Pha-ra-ôn. 16 Vì Sa-rai, vua biệt đãi Áp-ram, ban thưởng nhiều chiên, bò, lừa,[b] lạc đà và cả nô lệ nam nữ nữa.
17 Nhưng vì cớ Sa-rai, vợ Áp-ram, CHÚA trừng phạt Pha-ra-ôn và hoàng tộc Ai-cập, khiến họ bị bịnh dịch trầm trọng. 18 Pha-ra-ôn cho gọi Áp-ram vào và nói: “Nhà ngươi làm gì cho ta vậy? Sao không nói cho ta biết rằng Sa-rai là vợ ngươi? 19 Sao lại bảo nàng là em gái ngươi để ta đã lấy nàng làm vợ? Vậy bây giờ vợ ngươi đây, hãy dẫn nàng đi đi!” 20 Vua sai quần thần đưa Áp-ram, vợ người và tất cả tài sản đi.
