1 Mose 12
Luther Bibel 1545
12 Und der HERR sprach zu Abram: Gehe aus deinem Vaterlande und von deiner Freundschaft und aus deines Vaters Hause in ein Land, das ich dir zeigen will.
2 Und ich will dich zum großen Volk machen und will dich segnen und dir einen großen Namen machen, und sollst ein Segen sein.
3 Ich will segnen, die dich segnen, und verfluchen, die dich verfluchen; und in dir sollen gesegnet werden alle Geschlechter auf Erden.
4 Da zog Abram aus, wie der HERR zu ihm gesagt hatte, und Lot zog mit ihm. Abram aber ward fünfundsiebzig Jahre alt, da er aus Haran zog.
5 Also nahm Abram sein Weib Sarai und Lot, seines Bruders Sohn, mit aller ihrer Habe, die sie gewonnen hatten, und die Seelen, die sie erworben hatten in Haran; und zogen aus, zu reisen in das Land Kanaan. Und als sie gekommen waren in dasselbe Land,
6 zog Abram durch bis an die Stätte Sichem und an den Hain More; es wohnten aber zu der Zeit die Kanaaniter im Lande.
7 Da erschien der HERR dem Abram und sprach: Deinem Samen will ich dies Land geben. Und er baute daselbst einen Altar dem HERRN, der ihm erschienen war.
8 Darnach brach er auf von dort an einen Berg, der lag gegen Morgen von der Stadt Beth-El, und richtete seine Hütte auf, daß er Beth-El gegen Abend und Ai gegen Morgen hatte, und baute daselbst dem HERRN einen Altar und predigte von dem Namen des HERRN.
9 Darnach zog Abram weiter und zog aus ins Mittagsland.
10 Es kam aber eine Teuerung in das Land. Da zog Abram hinab nach Ägypten, daß er sich daselbst als ein Fremdling aufhielte; denn die Teuerung war groß im Lande.
11 Und da er nahe an Ägypten kam, sprach er zu seinem Weib Sarai: Siehe, ich weiß, daß du ein schönes Weib von Angesicht bist.
12 Wenn dich nun die Ägypter sehen werden, so werden sie sagen: Das ist sein Weib, und werden mich erwürgen, und dich leben lassen.
13 Sage doch, du seist meine Schwester, auf daß mir's wohl gehe um deinetwillen und meine Seele am Leben bleibe um deinetwillen.
14 Als nun Abram nach Ägypten kam, sahen die Ägypter das Weib, daß sie sehr schön war.
15 Und die Fürsten des Pharao sahen sie und priesen sie vor ihm. Da ward sie in des Pharao Haus gebracht.
16 Und er tat Abram Gutes um ihretwillen. Und er hatte Schafe, Rinder, Esel, Knechte und Mägde, Eselinnen und Kamele.
17 Aber der HERR plagte den Pharao mit großen Plagen und sein Haus um Sarais, Abrams Weibes, willen.
18 Da rief Pharao Abram zu sich und sprach zu ihm: Warum hast du mir das getan? Warum sagtest du mir's nicht, daß sie dein Weib wäre?
19 Warum sprachst du denn, sie wäre deine Schwester? Derhalben ich sie mir zum Weibe nehmen wollte. Und nun siehe, da hast du dein Weib; nimm sie und ziehe hin.
20 Und Pharao befahl seinen Leuten über ihm, daß sie ihn geleiteten und sein Weib und alles, was er hatte.

II. STORIA DI ABRAMO
Vocazione di Abramo
12 Il Signore disse ad Abram:
«Vàttene dal tuo paese, dalla tua patria
e dalla casa di tuo padre,
verso il paese che io ti indicherò.
2 Farò di te un grande popolo
e ti benedirò,
renderò grande il tuo nome
e diventerai una benedizione.
3 Benedirò coloro che ti benediranno
e coloro che ti malediranno maledirò
e in te si diranno benedette
tutte le famiglie della terra».
4 Allora Abram partì, come gli aveva ordinato il Signore, e con lui partì Lot. Abram aveva settantacinque anni quando lasciò Carran. 5 Abram dunque prese la moglie Sarai, e Lot, figlio di suo fratello, e tutti i beni che avevano acquistati in Carran e tutte le persone che lì si erano procurate e si incamminarono verso il paese di Canaan. Arrivarono al paese di Canaan 6 e Abram attraversò il paese fino alla località di Sichem, presso la Quercia di More. Nel paese si trovavano allora i Cananei.
7 Il Signore apparve ad Abram e gli disse: «Alla tua discendenza io darò questo paese». Allora Abram costruì in quel posto un altare al Signore che gli era apparso. 8 Di là passò sulle montagne a oriente di Betel e piantò la tenda, avendo Betel ad occidente e Ai ad oriente. Lì costruì un altare al Signore e invocò il nome del Signore. 9 Poi Abram levò la tenda per accamparsi nel Negheb.
Abramo in Egitto
10 Venne una carestia nel paese e Abram scese in Egitto per soggiornarvi, perché la carestia gravava sul paese.
11 Ma, quando fu sul punto di entrare in Egitto, disse alla moglie Sarai: «Vedi, io so che tu sei donna di aspetto avvenente. 12 Quando gli Egiziani ti vedranno, penseranno: Costei è sua moglie, e mi uccideranno, mentre lasceranno te in vita. 13 Dì dunque che tu sei mia sorella, perché io sia trattato bene per causa tua e io viva per riguardo a te».
14 Appunto quando Abram arrivò in Egitto, gli Egiziani videro che la donna era molto avvenente. 15 La osservarono gli ufficiali del faraone e ne fecero le lodi al faraone; così la donna fu presa e condotta nella casa del faraone. 16 Per riguardo a lei, egli trattò bene Abram, che ricevette greggi e armenti e asini, schiavi e schiave, asine e cammelli. 17 Ma il Signore colpì il faraone e la sua casa con grandi piaghe, per il fatto di Sarai, moglie di Abram. 18 Allora il faraone convocò Abram e gli disse: «Che mi hai fatto? Perché non mi hai dichiarato che era tua moglie? 19 Perché hai detto: E' mia sorella, così che io me la sono presa in moglie? E ora eccoti tua moglie: prendila e vàttene!». 20 Poi il faraone lo affidò ad alcuni uomini che lo accompagnarono fuori della frontiera insieme con la moglie e tutti i suoi averi.
Genesis 12
New International Version
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.

New King James Version
Promises to Abram(A)
12 Now the (B)Lord had said to Abram:
“Get (C)out of your country,
From your family
And from your father’s house,
To a land that I will show you.
2 (D)I will make you a great nation;
(E)I will bless you
And make your name great;
(F)And you shall be a blessing.
3 (G)I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in (H)you all the families of the earth shall be (I)blessed.”
4 So Abram departed as the Lord had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. 5 Then Abram took Sarai his wife and Lot his brother’s son, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and (J)the [a]people whom they had acquired (K)in Haran, and they (L)departed to go to the land of Canaan. So they came to the land of Canaan. 6 Abram (M)passed through the land to the place of Shechem, (N)as far as [b]the terebinth tree of Moreh. (O)And the Canaanites were then in the land.
7 (P)Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, (Q)“To your [c]descendants I will give this land.” And there he built an (R)altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him. 8 And he moved from there to the mountain east of Bethel, and he pitched his tent with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; there he built an altar to the Lord and (S)called on the name of the Lord. 9 So Abram journeyed, (T)going on still toward the [d]South.
Abram in Egypt
10 Now there was (U)a famine in the land, and Abram (V)went down to Egypt to dwell there, for the famine was (W)severe in the land. 11 And it came to pass, when he was close to entering Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, “Indeed I know that you are (X)a woman of beautiful countenance. 12 Therefore it will happen, when the Egyptians see you, that they will say, ‘This is his wife’; and they (Y)will kill me, but they will let you live. 13 (Z)Please say you are my (AA)sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that [e]I may live because of you.”
14 So it was, when Abram came into Egypt, that the Egyptians saw the woman, that she was very beautiful. 15 The princes of Pharaoh also saw her and commended her to Pharaoh. And the woman was taken to Pharaoh’s house. 16 He (AB)treated Abram well for her sake. He (AC)had sheep, oxen, male donkeys, male and female servants, female donkeys, and camels.
17 But the Lord (AD)plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife. 18 And Pharaoh called Abram and said, (AE)“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’? I might have taken her as my wife. Now therefore, here is your wife; take her and go your way.” 20 (AF)So Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him; and they sent him away, with his wife and all that he had.
