Genesis 12
1 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:
Onyenwe anyị gwara Ebram okwu sị, “Site nʼobodo gị, sikwa na ụmụnna gị na ezinaụlọ nna gị, gaa nʼala m ga-egosi gị.
2 And I will make of you a great nation, blessing you and making your name great; and you will be a blessing:
“Aga m eme gị mba ukwu, aga m agọzi gị, aga m eme ka aha gị dị ukwuu, ị ga-abụ ngọzị.
3 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.
Aga m agọzi ndị na-agọzi gị, ma onye ọbụla kọchara gị ka m ga-akọcha; a ga-agọzikwa agbụrụ niile nọ nʼụwa site na gị.”
4 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.
Ya mere, Ebram hapụrụ gaa dịka Onyenwe anyị gwara ya. Lọt sokwa ya. Ebram agbaala iri afọ asaa na ise mgbe o si na Haran bulie ije.
5 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.
O duru nwunye ya Serai na Lọt nwa nwanne ya, chịkọtakwa akụ niile ha kpakọbara, na ndị ohu niile ha nwetara nʼala Haran, chee ihu ịga nʼala Kenan. Emesịa ha rutere nʼebe ahụ.
6 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.
Ebram jere ije nʼime ala Kenan jeruo nʼebe osisi ukwu More, nke dị nʼobodo Shekem. Ndị Kenan bi nʼala ahụ nʼoge ahụ.
7 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.
Onyenwe anyị mere ka Ebram hụ ya anya, ọ sịrị, “Aga m enye mkpụrụ gị ala a.” Ya mere, Ebram wuru ebe ịchụ aja nʼebe ahụ nye Onyenwe anyị onye gosiri ya onwe ya.
8 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.
Emesịa, Ebram hapụrụ ebe ahụ chee ihu nʼala ugwu dị nʼọwụwa anyanwụ Betel, maa ụlọ ikwu ya. Obodo Betel dị nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ, ma obodo Ai dị nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ ebe ọ mara ụlọ ikwu ya. Nʼebe nsọ ahụ Ebram wuru ebe ịchụ aja, nọrọ nʼebe ahụ kpọkuo aha Onyenwe anyị.
9 And he went on, journeying still to the South.
Ọzọ, Ebram si nʼebe ahụ pụọ gaa ije rute Negev.
10 And because there was little food to be had in that land, he went down into Egypt.
Nʼoge ahụ, oke ụnwụ dara nʼala ahụ. Nʼihi ya, Ebram hapụrụ ala ahụ gaa nʼala Ijipt, ebe o biri nwa oge.
11 Now when he came near to Egypt, he said to Sarai, his wife, Truly, you are a fair woman and beautiful to the eye;
Ma mgbe ha na-akwado ịbanye ala Ijipt, ọ gwara Serai nwunye ya sị, “Amaara m na ị bụ nwanyị mara mma.
12 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.
Mgbe ndị Ijipt ga-ahụ gị, ha ga-asị, ‘Onye a bụ nwunye ya.’ Mgbe ahụ, ha ga-egbu m ma hapụ gị ndụ.
13 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.
Gwa ha na ị bụ nwanne m nwanyị, ka ha meso m mmeso ọma nʼihi gị. Ha ga-echebekwa m ndụ nʼihi gị.”
14 And so it was that when Abram came into Egypt, the men of Egypt, looking on the woman, saw that she was fair.
Mgbe Ebram rutere Ijipt, ndị Ijipt hụrụ na nwunye ya bụ nwanyị mara mma.
15 And Pharaoh's great men, having seen her, said words in praise of her to Pharaoh, and she was taken into Pharaoh's house.
Mgbe ndị ozi Fero hụrụ ya, ha toro ya nʼihu Fero. Nʼihi nke a, ha kpọbatara Serai nʼụlọeze Fero.
16 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.
Fero mesoro Ebram mmeso ọma nʼihi nwunye ya. Ebram nwetara igwe atụrụ, na ehi, na nne ịnyịnya ibu, oke na nwunye, na ndị ohu ndị nwoke na ndị nwanyị, na ịnyịnya kamel.
17 And the Lord sent great troubles on Pharaoh's house because of Sarai, Abram's wife.
Ma Onyenwe anyị jiri ajọọ ọrịa tie Fero na ndị ezinaụlọ ya ihe otiti nʼihi Serai nwunye Ebram.
18 Then Pharaoh sent for Abram, and said, What have you done to me? why did you not say that she was your wife?
Mgbe ahụ, Fero kpọrọ Ebram sị ya, “Gịnị bụ ihe a i mere? Gịnị mere ị gwaghị m na ọ bụ nwunye gị?
19 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.
Gịnị mere i ji sị na ọ bụ nwanne gị nwanyị, si otu a mee m ka m kpọrọ ya ka ọ bụrụ nwunye m? Ugbu a, lee nwunye gị, kpọrọ ya laa.”
20 And Pharaoh gave orders to his men, and they sent him on his way, with his wife and all he had.
Fero nyere iwu banyere Ebram na ndị ikom so ya. Ha zilagara ya, ya na nwunye ya, na ihe niile o nwere.
