Genesis 12

Ang Pagtawag sa Dios kang Abram

1Unya, miingon ang Ginoo kang Abram, “Biyai ang imong nasod, ang imong mga kaparyentehan, ug ang panimalay sa imong amahan, ug adto sa dapit nga ipakita ko kanimo.

2“Himuon ko ang imong mga kaliwat nga usa ka bantogan nga nasod.

Panalanginan ka nako ug mahimong bantogan ang imong ngalan.

Pinaagi kanimo, daghan ang makadawat sa panalangin.

3Panalanginan ko ang nagpanalangin kanimo.

Apan tunglohon ko ang gatunglo kanimo.

Pinaagi kanimo,

mapanalanginan ang tanang katawhan sa kalibotan.”

4-5Busa mibiya si Abram sa Haran ug miadto sa Canaan, sumala sa giingon sa Ginoo kaniya. Nag-edad niadto si Abram ug 75 ka tuig. Miuban kaniya ang iyang pag-umangkon nga si Lot. Gidala usab niya ang iyang asawa nga si Sarai ug ang tanan nilang mga kabtangan ug mga sulugoon nga natigom nila sa Haran.

6Pag-abot nila sa Canaan, mipadayon sila hangtod nga nakaabot sila sa kahoy nga tugas#12:6 kahoy nga tugas: tingali balaan kini nga kahoy ngadto kanila. sa More didto sa Sekem. (Niadtong panahona didto pa nagpuyo ang mga Canaanhon.)

7Unya nagpakita ang Ginoo kang Abram ug miingon kaniya, “Ihatag ko sa imong mga kaliwat kining yutaa.” Busa nagbuhat si Abram ug halaran alang sa Ginoo nga mipakita kaniya.

8Gikan didto, mibalhin sila sa kabungtoran sa sidlakang bahin sa Betel, ug didto nagpatindog sila ug tolda, ang Betel anaa sa kasadpan ug ang Ai sa sidlakan. Nagbuhat usab didto si Abram ug halaran alang sa Ginooug misimba sa Ginoo.

9Wala madugay namalhin na usab sila. Nagpadayon sila sa paglakaw paingon sa Negev.

Si Abram didto sa Ehipto

10Unya, miabot ang dakong kagutom sa Canaan, busa miadto si Abram sa Ehipto aron didto lang una mopuyo. 11Sa nagkaduol na sila sa Ehipto, miingon si Abram sa iyang asawa, “Sarai, maanyag ka nga babaye. 12Kon makita ka sa mga Ehiptohanon moingon sila, ‘Iya kining asawa.’ Unya, patyon nila ako ug ikaw dili. 13Busa ingna sila nga managsoon kita aron dili nila ako patyon ug hatagan nila akog maayong pagtagad tungod kanimo.”

14Busa pag-abot nila sa Ehipto, nakita tuod sa mga Ehiptohanon nga labihan gayod kaanyag ni Sarai. 15Ug sa dihang nakita siya sa mga opisyal sa Paraon, gisuginlan nila ang hari kon unsa siya katahom. Busa gidala si Sarai didto sa palasyo. 16Tungod kang Sarai, maayo gayod ang pagtagad sa hari kang Abram ug gihatagan pa siya ug mga karnero, kanding, baka, laki ug bayeng asno, kamelyo, ug mga sulugoon nga lalaki ug babaye.

17Apan gihatagan sa Ginoo ug makalilisang nga sakit ang Paraon ug ang iyang mga sakop sa palasyo tungod kang Sarai. 18Sa dihang nasayran sa Paraon ang hinungdan, gipatawag niya si Abram ug gipangutana, “Unsa kining gibuhat mo kanako? Nganong wala ka magsulti nga asawa mo diay siya? 19Nganong miingon ka nga managsoon kamo? Gikuha ko hinuon siya aron mahimong asawa. Ania ang imong asawa, kuhaa siya ug panglakaw na kamo!” 20Unya gimandoan sa Paraon ang iyang mga tawo nga papahawaon sila. Busa gipabiya nila si Abram niadtong dapita uban sa iyang asawa, dala ang tanan niyang kabtangan.

Genesis 12

The Call of Abram

1Now #Acts 7:3; Heb. 11:8the Lord said#12:1 Or had said to Abram, “Go from your country#12:1 Or land and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. 2#ch. 17:6; 18:18; [Gal. 3:14]And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. 3#ch. 27:29; Num. 24:9I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and #ch. 18:18; 22:18; 26:4; 28:14; Jer. 4:2; Acts 3:25; Gal. 3:16; Cited Gal. 3:8in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”#12:3 Or by you all the families of the earth shall bless themselves

4So Abram went, as the Lord had told him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from #ch. 11:31Haran. 5And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people that they had acquired in Haran, and they set out to go to the land of Canaan. When they came to the land of Canaan, 6Abram #[Heb. 11:9] passed through the land to the place at Shechem, to #ch. 13:18the oak#12:6 Or terebinth of #Deut. 11:30; Judg. 7:1Moreh. At that time #ch. 13:7the Canaanites were in the land. 7Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, #ch. 13:15; 17:8; Ex. 33:1; Ps. 105:9-12; [Num. 32:11]; Gal. 3:16“To your offspring I will give this land.” So he built there an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him. 8From there he moved to the hill country on the east of #ch. 28:19Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. And there he built an altar to the Lord and called upon the name of the Lord. 9And Abram journeyed on, still going toward the Negeb.

Abram and Sarai in Egypt

10Now #ch. 26:1; 43:1there was a famine in the land. So Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine was severe in the land. 11When he was about to enter Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, “I know that you are a woman beautiful in appearance, 12and when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ Then they #See ch. 20:1-18; 26:6-11will kill me, but they will let you live. 13Say you are my sister, that it may go well with me because of you, and that my life may be spared for your sake.” 14When Abram entered Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful. 15And when the princes of Pharaoh saw her, they praised her to Pharaoh. And the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house. 16And for her sake he dealt well with Abram; and he had sheep, oxen, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.

17But the Lord #1 Chr. 16:21; Ps. 105:14afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife. 18So Pharaoh called Abram and said, “What is this you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife? 19Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her for my wife? Now then, here is your wife; take her, and go.” 20And Pharaoh gave men orders concerning him, and they sent him away with his wife and all that he had.
