1 И сказал Господь Авраму: пойди из земли твоей, от родства твоего и из дома отца твоего [и иди] в землю, которую Я укажу тебе;
1 Now Yahweh said to Abram, “Leave your country, and your relatives, and your father’s house, and go to the land that I will show you.
2 и Я произведу от тебя великий народ, и благословлю тебя, и возвеличу имя твое, и будешь ты в благословение;
2 I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing.
3 Я благословлю благословляющих тебя, и злословящих тебя прокляну; и благословятся в тебе все племена земные.
3 I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who treats you with contempt. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you.”
4 И пошел Аврам, как сказал ему Господь; и с ним пошел Лот. Аврам был семидесяти пяти лет, когда вышел из Харрана.
4 So Abram went, as Yahweh had told him. Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.
5 И взял Аврам с собою Сару, жену свою, Лота, сына брата своего, и все имение, которое они приобрели, и всех людей, которых они имели в Харране; и вышли, чтобы идти в землю Ханаанскую; и пришли в землю Ханаанскую.
5 Abram took Sarai his wife, Lot his brother’s son, all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people whom they had acquired in Haran, and they went to go into the land of Canaan. They entered into the land of Canaan.
6 И прошел Аврам по земле сей [по длине ее] до места Сихема, до дубравы Море. В этой земле тогда [жили] Хананеи.
6 Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time, Canaanites were in the land.
7 И явился Господь Авраму и сказал [ему]: потомству твоему отдам Я землю сию. И создал там [Аврам] жертвенник Господу, Который явился ему.
7 Yahweh appeared to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your offspring.” He built an altar there to Yahweh, who had appeared to him.
8 Оттуда двинулся он к горе, на восток от Вефиля; и поставил шатер свой так, что от него Вефиль был на запад, а Гай на восток; и создал там жертвенник Господу и призвал имя Господа [явившегося ему].
8 He left from there to go to the mountain on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to Yahweh and called on Yahweh’s name.
9 И поднялся Аврам и продолжал идти к югу.
9 Abram traveled, still going on toward the South.
10 И был голод в той земле. И сошел Аврам в Египет, пожить там, потому что усилился голод в земле той.
10 There was a famine in the land. Abram went down into Egypt to live as a foreigner there, for the famine was severe in the land.
11 Когда же он приближался к Египту, то сказал Саре, жене своей: вот, я знаю, что ты женщина, прекрасная видом;
11 When he had come near to enter Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, “See now, I know that you are a beautiful woman to look at.
12 и когда Египтяне увидят тебя, то скажут: это жена его; и убьют меня, а тебя оставят в живых;
12 It will happen that when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ They will kill me, but they will save you alive.
13 скажи же, что ты мне сестра, дабы мне хорошо было ради тебя, и дабы жива была душа моя чрез тебя.
13 Please say that you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that my soul may live because of you.”
14 И было, когда пришел Аврам в Египет, Египтяне увидели, что она женщина весьма красивая;
14 When Abram had come into Egypt, some Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.
15 увидели ее и вельможи фараоновы и похвалили ее фараону; и взята была она в дом фараонов.
15 The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.
16 И Авраму хорошо было ради ее; и был у него мелкий и крупный скот и ослы, и рабы и рабыни, и лошаки и верблюды.
16 He dealt well with Abram for her sake. He had sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.
17 Но Господь поразил тяжкими ударами фараона и дом его за Сару, жену Аврамову.
17 Yahweh afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.
18 И призвал фараон Аврама и сказал: что ты это сделал со мною? для чего не сказал мне, что она жена твоя?
18 Pharaoh called Abram and said, “What is this that you have done to me? Why didn’t you tell me that she was your wife?
19 для чего ты сказал: она сестра моя? и я взял было ее себе в жену. И теперь вот жена твоя; возьми [ее] и пойди.
19 Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her to be my wife? Now therefore, see your wife, take her, and go your way.”
20 И дал о нем фараон повеление людям, и проводили его, и жену его, и все, что у него было, [и Лота с ним].
20 Pharaoh commanded men concerning him, and they escorted him away with his wife and all that he had.

What the Fathers said

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
