uW Translation Notes:

אִמְרִי נָ֖א

say now

Alternate translation: “So please tell them”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

אֲחֹ֣תִ⁠י אָ֑תְּ

sister,my you

Consider whether an indirect quote or direct quote is best here in your language.

לְמַ֨עַן֙ יִֽיטַב לִ֣⁠י

so_that go_well to=me

Alternate translation: “so that I will be treated well” or “so that people will treat me well”

וְ⁠חָיְתָ֥ה נַפְשִׁ֖⁠י בִּ⁠גְלָלֵֽ⁠ךְ

and,spared life,my in/on/at/with,account,you

For some languages it is not natural to include the phrase because of you here, because it repeats the same idea as for your sake in the previous clause. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “and my life will be spared by them.” or “and they will spare my life.” or “and they will let me live.”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

12:13 tell them you are my sister: This request occurs three times in Genesis (see also 20:2; 26:7). The text explains that this was Abram’s usual strategy (20:13), and his son did likewise. This first occasion was outside the land, the second (ch 20) within, showing that God protected his promise in both regions.
