< Genesis 12 >

1 Karon miingon si Yahweh kang Abram, “Lakaw ug biya sa imong nasod, gikan sa imong kaparyentihan, ug gikan sa panimalay sa imong amahan, ngadto sa yuta nga akong ipakita kanimo.
Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get you out of your country, and from your kindred, and from your father's house, unto a land that I will show you:
2 Himoon ko ikaw nga dakong nasod, panalanginan ko ikaw, himoon ko nga bantogan ang imong ngalan, ug mahimo kang panalangin.
And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing:
3 Panalanginan ko kadtong magapanalangin kanimo, apan si bisan kinsa kadtong magpakaulaw kanimo akong pagatunglohon. Pinaagi kanimo mapanalanginan ang tanang pamilya sa kalibotan.”
And I will bless them that bless you, and curse him that curses you: and in you shall all families of the earth be blessed.
4 Busa milakaw si Abram, sama sa giingon ni Yahweh nga iyang himoon, ug miuban kaniya si Lot. 75 ka tuig na ang edad ni Abraham sa dihang mibiya siya sa Haran.
So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
5 Gidala ni Abram si Sarai, nga iyang asawa, ug si Lot nga anak sa iyang igsoon nga lalaki, lakip na ang tanan nilang mga kabtangan nga ilang natigom, ug ang katawhan nga ilang nakuha sa Haran. Unya mibiya sila aron moadto ngadto sa yuta sa Canaan, ug miabot sila sa yuta sa Canaan.
And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had got in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
6 Milabay si Abram niadtong yutaa hangtod nahiabot sa Shekem, ngadto sa tugas sa More. Nianang panahona ang mga Canaanhon ang nagpuyo didtong yutaa.
And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
7 Mipakita si Yahweh kang Abram, ug miingon, “Ihatag ko kining yutaa sa imong mga kaliwat.” Busa si Abram nagbuhat ug halaran alang kang Yahweh, nga nagpakita kaniya.
And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto your seed will I give this land: and there built he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.
8 Gikan didto mibalhin siya sa kabungtoran sa sidlakan sa Betel, nga diin nagtukod siya ug barongbarong, diha ang Betel sa kasadpan ug ang Ai paingon sa Sidlakan. Didto nagtukod siyag halaran alang kang Yahweh ug gitawag ang ngalan ni Yahweh.
And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he built an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD.
9 Unya si Abram mipadayon sa iyang panaw, padulong sa Negeb.
And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.
10 Adunay kagutom didto nga yuta, busa milugsong si Abram padulong sa Ehipto ug mipuyo didto, kay hilabihan ang kagutom nianang yutaa.
And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.
11 Sa dihang hapit na siya makasulod sa Ehipto, miingon siya kang Sarai nga iyang asawa, “Tan-awa ako, nasayod ako nga maanyag kaayo ka nga babaye.
And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that you are a fair woman to look upon:
12 Sa dihang ang mga Ehiptohanon makakita kanimo moingon sila nga, 'Mao kini ang iyang asawa', ug ila akong patyon, apan buhion ka nila.
Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see you, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save you alive.
13 Ingna sila nga igsoon ko ikaw, aron nga ayohon nila ako pagtagad tungod kanimo, ug aron nga luwason nila ang akong kinabuhi tungod kanimo.”
Say, I pray you, you are my sister: that it may be well with me for your sake; and my soul shall live because of you.
14 Nahitabo kadto sa dihang misulod si Abram ngadto sa Ehipto, nakita sa mga Ehiptohanon si Sarai nga maanyag kaayo.
And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
15 Nakita siya sa mga prinsipe ni Paraon ug gidayeg nila siya ngadto kang Paraon, ug gidala siya ngadto sa panimalay ni Paraon.
The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
16 Giatiman pag-ayo ni Paraon si Abram tungod kaniya, ug gihatagan siya ug karnero, baka, lalaki nga mga asno, mga sulugoon nga lalaki, mga sulugoon nga babaye, babaye nga mga asno, ug mga kamelyo.
And he pleaded Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and male servants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.
17 Unya gipaantos ni Yahweh si Paraon ug ang iyang panimalay uban sa dako nga hampak tungod kang Sarai, nga asawa ni Abram.
And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.
18 Unya gipatawag ni Paraon si Abram, ug miingon; “Unsa ba kining gibuhat mo kanako? Nganong wala ka man nagsulti nga imo man diay siyang asawa?
And Pharaoh called Abram and said, What is this that you have done unto me? why did you not tell me that she was your wife?
19 Nganong miingon ka man, 'Igsoon nako siya', aron ba kuhaon nako siya ug himoon nakong asawa? Busa karon, ania ang imong asawa. Dal-a siya, ug lakaw.”
Why said you, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold your wife, take her, and go your way.
20 Unya gimandoan ni Paraon ang iyang mga tawo mahitungod kaniya, ug gipalakaw nila siya, uban sa iyang asawa ug ang tanan nga anaa kaniya.
And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
