| 1 | And the Lord said to Abram: Go forth out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and out of thy father’s house, and come into the land which I shall shew thee. | Dixit autem Dominus ad Abram: Egredere de terra tua, et de cognatione tua, et de domo patris tui, et veni in terram quam monstrabo tibi. |
| 2 | And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and magnify thy name, and thou shalt be blessed. | Faciamque te in gentem magnam, et benedicam tibi, et magnificabo nomen tuum, erisque benedictus. |
| 3 | I will bless them that bless thee, and curse them that curse thee, and IN THEE shall all the kindred of the earth be blessed: | Benedicam benedicentibus tibi, et maledicam maledicentibus tibi, atque in te benedicentur universae cognationes terrae. |
| 4 | So Abram went out as the Lord had commanded him, and Lot went with him: Abram was seventy-five years old when he went forth from Haran. | Egressus est itaque Abram sicut praeceperat ei Dominus, et ivit cum eo Lot: septuaginta quinque annorum erat Abram cum egrederetur de Haran. |
| 5 | And he took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all the substance which they had gathered, and the souls which they had gotten in Haran: and they went out to go into the land of Chanaan. And when they were come into it, | Tulitque Sarai uxorem suam, et Lot filium fratris sui, universamque substantiam quam possederant, et animas quas fecerant in Haran: et egressi sunt ut irent in terram Chanaan. Cumque venissent in eam, |
| 6 | Abram passed through the country into the place of Sichem, as far as the noble vale: now the Chanaanite was at that time in the land. | pertransivit Abram terram usque ad locum Sichem, usque ad convallem illustrem: Chananaeus autem tunc erat in terra. |
| 7 | And the Lord appeared to Abram, and said to him: To thy seed will I give this land. And he built there an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him. | Apparuit autem Dominus Abram, et dixit ei: Semini tuo dabo terram hanc. Qui aedificavit ibi altare Domino, qui apparuerat ei. |
| 8 | And passing on from thence to a mountain, that was on the east side of Bethel, he there pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east; he built there also an altar to the Lord, and called upon his name. | Et inde transgrediens ad montem, qui erat contra orientem Bethel, tetendit ibi tabernaculum suum, ab occidente habens Bethel, et ab oriente Hai: aedificavit quoque ibi altare Domino, et invocavit nomen eius. |
| 9 | And Abram went forward, going, and proceeding on to the south. | Perrexitque Abram vadens, et ultra progrediens ad meridiem. |
| 10 | And there came a famine in the country; and Abram went down into Egypt, to sojourn there: for the famine was very grievous in the land. | Facta est autem fames in terra: descenditque Abram in Aegyptum, ut peregrinaretur ibi: praevaluerat enim fames in terra. |
| 11 | And when he was near to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife: I know that thou art a beautiful woman: | Cumque prope esset ut ingrederetur Aegyptum, dixit Sarai uxori suae: Novi quod pulchra sis mulier: |
| 12 | And that when the Egyptians shall see thee, they will say: She is his wife: and they will kill me, and keep thee. | et quod cum viderint te Aegyptii, dicturi sunt: Uxor ipsius est: et interficient me, et te reservabunt. |
| 13 | Say, therefore, I pray thee, that thou art my sister: that I may be well used for thee, and that my soul may live for thy sake. | Dic ergo, obsecro te, quod soror mea sis: ut bene sit mihi propter te, et vivat anima mea ob gratiam tui. |
| 14 | And when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians saw the woman that she was very beautiful. | Cum itaque ingressus esset Abram Aegyptum, viderunt Aegyptii mulierem quod esset pulchra nimis. |
| 15 | And the princes told Pharao, and praised her before him: and the woman was taken into the house of Pharao. | Et nuntiaverunt principes Pharaoni, et laudaverunt eam apud illum: et sublata est mulier in domum Pharaonis. |
| 16 | And they used Abram well for her sake. And he had sheep and oxen, and he asses, and men servants and maid servants, and she asses, and camels. | Abram vero bene usi sunt propter illam: fueruntque ei oves et boves et asini, et servi et famulae, et asinae et cameli. |
| 17 | But the Lord scourged Pharao and his house with most grievous stripes for Sarai, Abram’s wife. | Flagellavit autem Dominus Pharaonem plagis maximis, et domum eius, propter Sarai uxorem Abram. |
| 18 | And Pharao called Abram, and said to him: What is this that thou hast done to me? Why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife? | Vocavitque Pharao Abram, et dixit ei: Quidnam est hoc quod fecisti mihi? quare non indicasti quod uxor tua esset? |
| 19 | For what cause didst thou say, she was thy sister, that I might take her to my wife? Now, therefore, there is thy wife, take her, and go thy way. | quam ob causam dixisti esse sororem tuam, ut tollerem eam mihi in uxorem? Nunc igitur ecce coniux tua, accipe eam, et vade. |
| 20 | And Pharao gave his men orders concerning Abram: and they led him away, and his wife, and all that he had. | Praecepitque Pharao super Abram viris: et deduxerunt eum, et uxorem illius, et omnia quae habebat. |
