Suencuek 12
1 BOEIPA loh Abram taengah, “Nang te na khohmuen taeng lamloh, na pacaboeina taeng lamloh, na pa im lamloh cet laeh. Te khohmuen te nang kan tueng bitni.
Now the Lord said to Abram, Go out from your country and from your family and from your father's house, into the land to which I will be your guide:
2 Tedae nang te pilnu la kan saii vetih nang yoethen kan paek ni. Na ming ka rhoeng sak vetih yoethennah om ni.
And I will make of you a great nation, blessing you and making your name great; and you will be a blessing:
3 Te phoeiah nang yoe aka then sak rhoek te a yoe ka then sak vetih nang aka kosinah te khaw thae ka phoei ni. Nang kong ah diklai huiko boeih a yoethen uh ni,” a ti nah.
To them who are good to you will I give blessing, and on him who does you wrong will I put my curse: and you will become a name of blessing to all the families of the earth.
4 Te dongah BOEIPA loh anih taengah a thui bangla Abram a caeh hatah Lot khaw anih taengah cet van. Tedae Abram Haran lamkah a caeh vaengah kum sawmrhih neh kum nga lo ca coeng.
So Abram went as the Lord had said to him, and Lot went with him: Abram was seventy-five years old when he went away from Haran.
5 Abram loh a yuu Sarai te khaw, a maya capa Lot te khaw, khuehtawn a dang uh boeih te khaw, Haran ah a dang hinglu te khaw a khuen. Te phoeiah Kanaan khohmuen la caeh ham hlah uh tih Kanaan khohmuen te a paan uh.
And Abram took Sarai, his wife, and Lot, his brother's son, and all their goods and the servants which they had got in Haran, and they went out to go to the land of Canaan.
6 Te dongah Abram te khohmuen kah Shekhem hmuen Moreh thingnu due a pha. Tedae te vaengah Kanaan te khohmuen ah ana om uh coeng.
And Abram went through the land till he came to Shechem, to the holy tree of Moreh. At that time, the Canaanites were still living in the land.
7 Tedae Abram taengah BOEIPA a phoe pah tih, “Hekah khohmuen he na tiingan taengah ka paek ni,” a ti nah. Te dongah amah taengah aka phoe BOEIPA ham hmueihtuk pahoi a suem pah.
And the Lord came to Abram, and said, I will give all this land to your seed; then Abram made an altar there to the Lord who had let himself be seen by him.
8 Te phoeiah te lamkah khothoeng tlang Bethel la puen uh tih tuitunli benkah Bethel neh Ai khothoeng laklo ah amah kah dap a tuk. Te phoeiah BOEIPA ham hmueihtuk a suem tih BOEIPA ming te a phoei.
And moving on from there to the mountain on the east of Beth-el, he put up his tent, having Beth-el on the west and Ai on the east: and there he made an altar and gave worship to the name of the Lord.
9 Te phoeiah Abram te aka puen uh ham cet tih Negev la puen uh.
And he went on, journeying still to the South.
10 Tedae khohmuen ah khokha a om dongah Abram te Egypt la cet. Te la a bakuep akhaw khohmuen ah khokha te a nah dongah ni.
And because there was little food to be had in that land, he went down into Egypt.
11 Tedae Egypt la kun ham a yoei vaengah a yuu Sarai taengah, “Na mueimae sakthen nu tila ka ming coeng ne.
Now when he came near to Egypt, he said to Sarai, his wife, Truly, you are a fair woman and beautiful to the eye;
12 Te dongah Egypt rhoek loh nang te m'hmuh uh vaengah, 'Anih yuu ni he,’ a ti uh ni. Te vaengah kai n'ngawn uh vetih nang te n'hing sak uh ni he.
And I am certain that when the men of Egypt see you, they will say, This is his wife: and they will put me to death and keep you.
13 Namah te kai ngannu la thui mai. Te daengah ni nang kong neh kai ham khaw thuem vetih nang kong ah ka hinglu khaw a hing eh?,” a ti nah.
Say, then, that you are my sister, and so it will be well with me because of you, and my life will be kept safe on your account.
14 Abram Egypt la kun tih Egypt loh a hmuh uh vaengah a yuu te a sakthen tangkik.
And so it was that when Abram came into Egypt, the men of Egypt, looking on the woman, saw that she was fair.
15 Pharaoh kah mangpa rhoek loh anih te a hmuh uh vaengah Pharaoh ham anih te a thangthen uh. Te dongah huta te Pharaoh im la a khuen uh.
And Pharaoh's great men, having seen her, said words in praise of her to Pharaoh, and she was taken into Pharaoh's house.
16 Anih rhang neh Abram ham khaw then tih tu khaw saelhung khaw, laak khaw, salpa khaw, salnu khaw, laak tal khaw, kalauk khaw Abram taengla boeih kun.
And because of her, he was good to Abram, and he had sheep and oxen and asses, and men-servants and women-servants, and camels.
17 Tedae Abram yuu Sarai kah dumlai kongah Pharaoh neh anih imkhui te BOEIPA loh a nah la lucik neh a vuek.
And the Lord sent great troubles on Pharaoh's house because of Sarai, Abram's wife.
18 Te dongah Pharaoh loh Abram te a khue tih, “Hekah he ba ham lae kai taengah na saii. Balae tih anih he namah yuu tila kai taengah na puen pawh?
Then Pharaoh sent for Abram, and said, What have you done to me? why did you not say that she was your wife?
19 Balae tih, anih he ka ngannu na ti. Te dongah ni anih he ka yuu la kamah taengah ka loh. Tedae na yuu he lo lamtah cet laeh,” a ti nah.
Why did you say that she was your sister? so that I took her for my wife: now, take your wife and go on your way.
20 Te dongah anih ham Pharaoh loh a hlang rhoek te a uen tih, Abram khaw, a yuu khaw, a taengkah aka om boeih te khaw a tueih uh.
And Pharaoh gave orders to his men, and they sent him on his way, with his wife and all he had.
