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 had said to Abram, Get you out of your country, and from your kindred, and from your father’s house, to a land that I will show you:
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, and I will bless you, and make your name great; and you shall 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.
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 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 departed, as the LORD had spoken to him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.

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 gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
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 passed through the land to the place of Sichem, to the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then 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 appeared to Abram, and said, To your seed will I give this land: and there built he an altar to the LORD, who appeared to 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 he removed from there to 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 to the LORD, and called on the name of the LORD.
9 Te phoeiah Abram te aka puen uh ham cet tih Negev la puen uh.
And Abram journeyed, going on still toward 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 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 Tedae Egypt la kun ham a yoei vaengah a yuu Sarai taengah, “Na mueimae sakthen nu tila ka ming coeng ne.
And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that you are a fair woman to look on:
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.
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 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, 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 Abram Egypt la kun tih Egypt loh a hmuh uh vaengah a yuu te a sakthen tangkik.
And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very 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.
The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman 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 he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, 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 plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues 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?
And Pharaoh called Abram and said, What is this that you have done to me? why did you not tell me 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 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 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 commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
