Jubilees, Chapter 12
Avram tells his father Teraḥ that idols are useless and burns the house of idols; in Haran he watches the stars and prays, and Hashem calls him to the land of Kena’an, opens his mouth to the Hebrew tongue, and his father sends him off with a blessing.
12:1And it came to pass in the sixth week, in the seventh year thereof, that Avram (Abram) said to Teraḥ his father, saying, “Father!”
12:1Y aconteció en la sexta semana, en el séptimo año de ella, que Avram (Abram) dijo a Téraj (Taré) su padre: «¡Padre!».

12:2And he said, “Behold, here am I, my son.” And he said, “What help and profit have we from those idols which you worship, and before which you bow yourself?
12:2Y él dijo: «Heme aquí, hijo mío». Y él dijo: «¿Qué ayuda y provecho tenemos de esos ídolos que tú adoras, y ante los cuales te inclinas?

12:3For there is no spirit in them, for they are dumb forms, and a misleading of the heart. Worship them not:
12:3Porque no hay espíritu en ellos, porque son formas mudas y un engaño del corazón. No los adores:

12:4Worship the God of heaven, who causes the rain and the dew to descend on the earth, and does everything upon the earth, and has created everything by His word, and all life is from before His face.
12:4Adora al Elohim del cielo, que hace descender la lluvia y el rocío sobre la tierra, y hace todo sobre la tierra, y ha creado todo por su palabra, y toda vida procede de delante de su rostro.

12:5Why do you worship things that have no spirit in them? For they are the work of men’s hands, and on your shoulders you bear them, and you have no help from them, but they are a great cause of shame to those who make them, and a misleading of the heart to those who worship them: worship them not.”
12:5¿Por qué adoráis cosas que no tienen espíritu en ellas? Porque son obra de manos de hombres, y sobre vuestros hombros las lleváis, y no tenéis ayuda de ellas, sino que son gran causa de vergüenza para los que las hacen, y un engaño del corazón para los que las adoran: no las adoréis».

12:6And his father said unto him, “I also know it, my son, but what shall I do with a people who have made me to serve before them?
12:6Y su padre le dijo: «Yo también lo sé, hijo mío, pero ¿qué haré con un pueblo que me ha hecho servir delante de ellos?

12:7And if I tell them the truth, they will slay me; for their soul cleaves to them to worship them and honor them.
12:7Y si les digo la verdad, me matarán; porque su alma está apegada a ellos para adorarlos y honrarlos.

12:8Keep silent, my son, lest they slay you.” And these words he spoke to his two brothers, and they were angry with him, and he kept silent.

Sources & method
- English translation
- R. H. Charles, The Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha of the Old Testament (Oxford, 1913), public domain, lightly modernized by Benei Avraham in the same way as our Bible pages: “thee/thou” become “you,” older verb forms are updated, people and places carry their Hebrew names with the familiar English name in parentheses the first time on each page, and “the Lord” (God) is written “Hashem.” Charles’s editorial dates are given in the notes. Digital text from the CrossWire Bible Society’s SWORD module (public domain).
- Spanish translation
- Translated by Benei Avraham from the English column, in the style of our Reina-Valera pages: Hashem for the Divine Name, Elohim for God, and Hebrew names. There is no public-domain Spanish translation of this book. Choose a translation with the Language drop-down; the choice is remembered on this device.
- Ge’ez text
- Ge’ez (classical Ethiopic) is the language of the Ethiopian Bible and the only language in which the whole book has survived; it was translated from Greek, which was translated from the lost Hebrew original. The text is August Dillmann’s edition (19th century, public domain) as published in the EOTCOpenSource Bible dataset. Verse numbers follow Charles; where Dillmann’s numbering joins two verses, the later verse says so.
