2 “Ndidzakusandutsa kholo la mtundu waukulu wa anthu ndipo ndidzakudalitsa; ndi kukusandutsa wotchuka kotero kuti udzakhala dalitso kwa anthu ambiri.
And I wyll make of the a myghtie people and wyll blesse the and make thy name grete that thou mayst be a blessinge.
3 Ndidzadalitsa amene adzadalitsa iwe, ndi kutemberera amene adzatemberera iwe; ndipo mafuko onse a pa dziko lapansi adzadalitsika kudzera mwa iwe.”
And I wyll blesse the that blesse the ad curse the that curse the. And in the shall be blessed all the generations of the erth.
4 Choncho Abramu ananyamuka monga momwe Yehova anamuwuzira, napita pamodzi ndi Loti. Pamene Abramu amachoka ku Harani nʼkuti ali ndi zaka 75.
And Abram wet as the LORde badd hym and Lot went wyth him. Abram was. lxxv. yere olde when he went out of Haran.
5 Abramu anatenga mkazi wake Sarai, Loti, mwana wamngʼono wake, pamodzi ndi chuma chawo chimene anapeza ndi antchito amene anali nawo ku Harani. Iwo ananyamuka ulendo mpaka kukafika ku dziko la Kanaani.
And Abram toke Sarai his wyfe ad Lot his brothers sonne wyth all their goodes which they had goten and soulles which they had begoten in Haran. And they departed to goo in to the lade of Chanaan. And when they were come in to the lande of Chanaan
6 Abramu anadutsa mʼdzikomo mpaka kukafika ku Sekemu pa mtengo wa thundu wa ku More. Nthawi imeneyo Akanaani analipobe mʼdzikomo.
Abram went furth in to the lade tyll he came vnto a place called Sychem and vnto the oke of More. And the Canaanytes dwelled then in the lande.
7 Yehova anadza kwa Abramu nati, “Kwa zidzukulu zako ndidzapereka dziko limeneli.” Choncho Abramu anamangira Yehova amene anadza kwa iye, guwa lansembe.
Then the LORde apeared vnto Abram ad sayd: vnto thy seed wyll I geue thys lade. And he buylded an aultere there vnto the LORDE which apeared to hym.
8 Atachoka pamenepo analowera cha ku mapiri a kummawa kwa Beteli namangako tenti yake pakati pa Beteli chakumadzulo ndi Ai chakummawa. Kumeneko anamangira Yehova guwa lansembe napemphera mʼdzina la Yehovayo.
Then departed he thence vnto a mountayne that lyeth on the east syde of BETHEL and pytched hys tente: BETHEL beynge on the west syde and Ay on the east: And he buylded there an aulter vnto the LORde and called on the name of ye LORde.
9 Kenaka Abramu ananyamuka kumalowera cha ku Negevi.
And than Abram departed and toke his iourney southwarde
10 Kunagwa njala yayikulu mʼdzikomo, ndipo Abramu anapita ku Igupto kukakhala ngati mlendo kwa kanthawi kochepa popeza njalayo inakula kwambiri.
After thys there came a derth in the lande. And Abram went doune in to Egipte to soiourne there for the derth was sore in the lande.
11 Atatsala pangʼono kulowa mu Igupto, Abramu anamuwuza mkazi wake Sarai kuti, “Ndimadziwa kuti ndiwe mkazi wokongola kwambiri.
And when he was come nye for to entre in to Egipte he sayd vnto sarai his wife. Beholde I knowe that thou art a fayre woman to loke apo.
12 Tsono Aigupto akakuona adzanena kuti ‘Ameneyu ndi mkazi wake.’ Tsono adzandipha ine nakusiya iwe ndi moyo.
It wyll come to passe therfore whe the Egiptians see the that they wyll say: she is his wyfe. And so shall they sley me and save the.
13 Tsono udzikawawuza kuti iwe ndiwe mlongo wanga. Ukatero zidzandiyendera bwino ndipo ndidzapulumuka chifukwa cha iwe.”
saye I praye the therfore that thou art my sister that I maye fare the better by reason of the and that my soule maye lyue for thy sake.
14 Pamene Abramu anafika ku Igupto, Aigupto aja anaona kuti Sarai anali mkazi wokongoladi.
As soone as he came in to Egipte the Egiptias sawe the woman that she was very fayre.
15 Pamene akuluakulu a ku nyumba ya Farao anamuona, anakamuyamikira pamaso pa Farao ndipo ananka naye ku nyumba ya Farao.
And Pharaos lordes sawe hir also and praysed hir vnto Pharao: So that she was taken in to Pharaos house
16 Abramu naye zinthu zinkamuyendera bwino chifukwa cha Sarai. Farao anamupatsa nkhosa, ngʼombe, abulu aamuna ndi abulu aakazi, antchito aakazi pamodzi ndi ngamira.
which entreated Abram well for hir sake so that he had shepe oxsen ad he asses men seruantes mayde seruates she asses and camels.
17 Koma Yehova anabweretsa matenda owopsa pa Farao pamodzi ndi banja lake lonse chifukwa cha Sarai mkazi wa Abramu.
But God plaged Pharao and his house wyth grete plages because of Sarai Abrams wyfe.
18 Choncho Farao anayitanitsa Abramu namufunsa kuti, “Nʼchiyani wandichitirachi? Nʼchifukwa chiyani sunandiwuze kuti ameneyu ndi mkazi wako?
Then Pharao called Abram and sayd: why hast thou thus dealt with me? Wherfore toldest thou me not that she was thy wyfe?
19 Nʼchifukwa chiyani unati ndi mlongo wako, mpaka ine ndinamutenga kukhala mkazi wanga? Eko mkazi wako. Mutenge uzipita!”
Why saydest thou that she was thy sister and causedest me to take hyr to my wyfe? But now loo there is the wife take hir ad be walkynge.
20 Farao analamula asilikali ake ndipo iwo anamutulutsa Abramu pamodzi ndi mkazi wake ndi zonse anali nazo.
