* 上帝呼召亚伯兰
§2
* 创12:1 耶和华对亚伯兰说：“你要离开本地、本族、父家，往我所要指示你的地去。
§3
*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:
§4
* 创12:2 我必叫你成为大国。我必赐福给你，叫你的名为大；你也要叫别人得福。
§5
*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:
§6
* 创12:3 为你祝福的，我必赐福与他；那咒诅你的，我必咒诅他。地上的万族都要因你得福。”
§7
*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.
§8
* 创12:4 亚伯兰就照着耶和华的吩咐去了；罗得也和他同去。亚伯兰出哈兰的时候年七十五岁。
§9
*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.
§10
* 创12:5 亚伯兰将他妻子撒莱和侄儿罗得，连他们在哈兰所积蓄的财物、所得的人口，都带往迦南地去。他们就到了迦南地。
§11
*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
* 创12:6 亚伯兰经过那地，到了示剑地方摩利橡树那里。那时迦南人住在那地。
§13
*And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
§14
* 创12:7 耶和华向亚伯兰显现，说：“我要把这地赐给你的后裔。”亚伯兰就在那里为向他显现的耶和华筑了一座坛。
§15
*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.
§16
* 创12:8 从那里他又迁到伯特利东边的山，支搭帐棚；西边是伯特利，东边是艾。他在那里又为耶和华筑了一座坛，求告耶和华的名。
§17
*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.
§18
* 创12:9 后来亚伯兰又渐渐迁往南地去。
§19
*And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.
§20
* 亚伯兰到埃及
§21
* 创12:10 那地遭遇饥荒。因饥荒甚大，亚伯兰就下埃及去，要在那里暂居。
§22
*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.
§23
* 创12:11 将近埃及，就对他妻子撒莱说：“我知道你是容貌俊美的妇人。
§24
*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:
§25
* 创12:12 埃及人看见你必说：‘这是他的妻子’，他们就要杀我，却叫你存活。
§26
*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.
§27
* 创12:13 求你说，你是我的妹子，使我因你得平安，我的命也因你存活。”
§28
*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.
§29
* 创12:14 及至亚伯兰到了埃及，埃及人看见那妇人极其美貌。
§30
*And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
§31
* 创12:15 法老的臣宰看见了她，就在法老面前夸奖她。那妇人就被带进法老的宫去。
§32
*The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
§33
* 创12:16 法老因这妇人就厚待亚伯兰，亚伯兰得了许多牛、羊、骆驼、公驴、母驴、仆婢。
§34
*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.
§35
* 创12:17 耶和华因亚伯兰妻子撒莱的缘故，降大灾与法老和他的全家。
§36
*And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.
§37
* 创12:18 法老就召了亚伯兰来，说：“你这向我做的是什么事呢？为什么没有告诉我她是你的妻子？
§38
*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?
§39
* 创12:19 为什么说她是你的妹子，以致我把她取来要作我的妻子？现在你的妻子在这里，可以带她走吧。”
§40
*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.
§41
* 创12:20 于是法老吩咐人将亚伯兰和他妻子，并他所有的都送走了。
§42
*And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
