Now the LORD had said to Abram, Depart from thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, to a land that I will show thee:
2 Tedae nangte pilnu la kan saii vetih nang yoethen kan paek ni. Na ming ka rhoeng sak vetih yoethennah om ni.
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 Te phoeiah nang yoe aka then sak rhoek te a yoe ka then sak vetih nang aka kosinahte khaw thae ka phoei ni. Nang kong ah diklai huiko boeiha yoethen uh ni,” a ti nah.
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

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 from 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 to go forth 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.

And the LORD appeared to Abram, and said, To thy seed will I give this land: and there he erected an altar to the LORD, who appeared to him.

And he removed from thence to a mountain on the east of Beth-el, and pitched his tent, [having] Beth-el on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he erected an altar to the LORD, and called upon 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 towards the south.

And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to dwell 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 had come near to enter into Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou [art] a fair woman to look upon:
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 will come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they will say, This [is] his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive.
13 Namahte kai ngannu la thui mai. Te daengah ni nang kong neh kai ham khaw thuem vetih nang kong ah ka hinglu khawa hing eh?,” a ti nah.
Say, I pray thee, thou [art] my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.
14 Abram Egypt la kun tih Egyptloh a hmuh uh vaengah a yuu te a sakthen tangkik.
And it came to pass, that when Abram had come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she [was] very fair.
15 Pharaoh kah mangpa rhoek loh anih tea hmuh uh vaengah Pharaoh ham anih tea thangthen uh. Te dongah huta te Pharaoh imlaa 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 treated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and she-asses, and camels.
17 Tedae Abram yuu Sarai kah dumlai kongah Pharaoh neh anih imkhui te BOEIPAloh a nah la lucik neha vuek.
And the LORD afflicted 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 taengahna saii. Balae tih anih he namah yuu tila kai taengahna puen pawh?
And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What [is] this [that] thou hast done to me? why didst thou not tell me that she [is] thy wife?
19 Balae tih, anih he ka ngannuna 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 saidst thou, She [is] my sister? so I might have taken her to me for a wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take [her], and go thy way.
20 Te dongah anih ham Pharaohloh a hlangrhoek tea 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.
