Chakruok 12
1 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Abram niya, “Dar iwe pinyu gi jou kod joodu mondo idhi e piny ma abiro nyisi.
Now God had said to Abram, "Go out from your country, and from your relatives, and from your father's house, to the land that I will show you.
2 “Anaketi oganda maduongʼ kendo anagwedhi; anami nyingi bed gi huma, kendo anami ibed gweth ne ji.
And I will make of you a great nation. And I will bless you and make your name great. And you will be a blessing.
3 Anagwedh jogo ma gwedhi kendo anakwongʼ jogo makwongʼi, kendo ogendini duto manie piny nogwedhi nikech in.”
And I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse those who treat you with contempt, and through you all the families of the earth will be blessed."
4 Omiyo Abram nowuok kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosenyise kendo Lut nodhi kode. Abram ne ja-higni piero abiriyo gabich kane owuok Haran.
So Abram left, as God had told him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.
5 Nokawo chiege Sarai, gi Lut wuod owadgi, gi mwandu duto mane gisechoko kod wasumbini duto mane gin-go Haran, kendo negichako wuoth mar dhi Kanaan mi negichopo kuno.
Abram took Sarai his wife, Lot his brother's son, and all their possessions that they had accumulated, and the people whom they had acquired in Haran, and they left to go to the land of Canaan. And they came to the land of Canaan,
6 Abram nowuotho e piny mochopo Shekem e tiend yath maduongʼ mar More. E kindego jo-Kanaan nodak e pinyno.
and Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time the Canaanites were in the land.
7 Jehova Nyasaye nofwenyore ne Abram mi owachone niya, “Anami kothi pinyni.” Omiyo Abram nogero kendo mar misango kanyo ne Jehova Nyasaye mane osefwenyorene.
Then God appeared to Abram and said to him, "I will give this land to your offspring." He built an altar there to God, who appeared to him.
8 Noa kanyo modhi e piny gode ma yo wuok chiengʼ mar Bethel kendo nogero hembe e kind Bethel man yo podho chiengʼ to gi Ai man yo wuok chiengʼ. Kanyo nogeroe kendo mar misango ne Jehova Nyasaye kendo nolamo Jehova Nyasaye kanyo.
He left from there to the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Ai on the east. There he built an altar and called on the name of God.
9 Eka Abram nochako wuoth kendo odhi nyime giwuoth kochomo Negev.
And Abram traveled on, continuing toward the Negev.
10 Koro kech nomako pinyno kendo Abram nodhi Misri mondo odhi odag kuno kuom kinde matin nikech kech ne duongʼ.
There was a famine in the land, so Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there, because the famine was severe in the land.
11 Kane ochiegni donjo Misri, nowacho ne Sarai chiege niya, “Angʼeyo kaka in dhako ma jaber.
It happened, when he had come near to enter Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, "Look, I know what a beautiful woman you are.
12 Ka jo-Misri oneni, gibiro wacho, ‘Ma en chiege.’ Mi gininega to inires ngimani.
It will happen, when the Egyptians will see you, that they will say, 'This is his wife.' And they will kill me, but they will let you live.
13 Wach ni in nyamera, mondo mi gitimna maber kendo ngimana obedie nikech in.”
Please say that you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that I may live because of you."
14 Kane Abram ochopo Misri, jo-Misri noneno Sarai kaka ne en dhako ma jaber miwuoro.
It happened that when Abram had come into Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.
15 Kendo kane jodong Farao oneno Sarai, negiwuoro berne ne Farao kendo nokawe motere kar dak ruoth.
The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into the household of Pharaoh.
16 Farao nomiyo Abram rit maber nikech Sarai, kendo nomiyo Abram rombe, dhok, pundane machwo gi mamon, wasumbini machwo gi mamon kod ngamia.
He dealt well with Abram for her sake, and he acquired sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.
17 To Jehova Nyasaye nosando Farao gi joode gi tuoche madongo nikech Sarai chi Abram.
But God plagued Pharaoh and his house with great and grievous plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife.
18 Omiyo Farao noluongo Abram kendo nopenje niya, “Angʼo ma isetimonani? Ere gima omiyo ne ok inyisa ni Sarai en chiegi?
Pharaoh summoned Abram and said, "What is this that you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife?
19 Mara angʼo ne iwuonda ni Sarai en nyameru momiyo akawe mondo obed chiega? Chiegi eri, kawe mondo udhi.”
Why did you say, 'She is my sister,' so that I took her to be my wife? Now therefore, look, your wife is before you. Take, and go."
20 Eka Farao nogolo chik ne joge mondo ogol Abram, chiege gi gige duto kendo gikowogi oko mar pinyno.
Pharaoh commanded men concerning him, and they sent him away with his wife and all his possessions.
