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:
परमप्रभुले अब्रामलाई भन्नुभयो, “तेरो देश, तेरा नातेदारहरू र तेरो पिताको घरानाबाट मैले तँलाई देखाउने मुलुकतिर जा ।
2 And I will make of you a great nation, blessing you and making your name great; and you will be a blessing:
म तँलाई ठुलो जाति बनाउनेछु, म तँलाई आशिष् दिनेछु, तेरो नाउँ महान् हुनेछ र तँ आशिष् हुनेछस् ।
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.
तँलाई आशिष् दिनेलाई म आशिष् दिनेछु, तर तँलाई अनादर गर्नेलाई म सराप दिनेछु । तँद्वारा नै पृथ्वीका सबै परिवारहरूले आशिष् पाउनेछन् ।
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.
यसैले परमप्रभुले भन्नुभएबमोजिम अब्राम गए र लोत पनि तिनीसँगै गए । हारान छोडेर जाँदा अब्राम पचहत्तर वर्षका थिए ।
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.
अब्रामले तिनकी पत्नी साराई, तिनका भतिजा लोत, तिनीहरूले हारानमा जम्मा गरेका सम्पत्ति र प्राप्त गरेका मानिसहरू सबै लगे । तिनीहरू कनानको भूमिमा जानलाई हिँडे र कनानको भूमिमा आइपुगे ।
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.
अब्राम त्यो भूमि हुँदै शकेममा भएको मोरेको फलाँटको रुखसम्म गए । त्यस बेला त्यो भूमिमा कनानीहरू बस्थे ।
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.
परमप्रभु अब्रामकहाँ देखा पर्नुभयो र भन्नुभयो, “यो भूमि म तेरा सन्तानहरूलाई दिनेछु ।” यसैले अब्रामले तिनीकहाँ देखा पर्नुहुने परमप्रभुको निम्ति एउटा वेदी बनाए ।
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.
त्यहाँबाट तिनी बेथेलको पूर्वतिरको देशतिर गए, जहाँ तिनले बेथेललाई पश्चिमतिर र ऐलाई पूर्वतिर पारेर तिनको पाल टाँगे । त्यहाँ तिनले एउटा वेदी बनाए र परमप्रभुको नाउँको पुकारा गरे ।
9 And he went on, journeying still to the South.
अनि अब्राम यात्रा गर्दै नेगेवतिर गए ।
10 And because there was little food to be had in that land, he went down into Egypt.
त्यो भूमिमा अनिकाल लागेको थियो, यसैले अब्राम बस्नलाई मिश्रतिर झरे (गए), किनकि त्यो भूमिमा निकै अनिकाल लागेको थियो ।
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;
तिनी मिश्र प्रवेश गर्न लाग्दा, तिनले आफ्नी पत्नी साराईलाई भने, “हेर, तिमी कति सुन्दरी स्त्री छौ भनी म जान्दछु ।
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.
मिश्रीहरूले तिमीलाई देख्दा 'यो यसकी पत्नी हो' भन्ने छन् र तिनीहरूले मलाई मार्ने छन्, तर तिनीहरूले तिमीलाईचाहिँ जीवितै राख्नेछन् ।
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.
यसैले तिमी मेरी बहिनी हौ भनी तिमीले भन, ताकि तिम्रो खातिर मेरो भलो होस् र तिम्रो खातिर मेरो जीवन बाँचोस् ।
14 And so it was that when Abram came into Egypt, the men of Egypt, looking on the woman, saw that she was fair.
मिश्र प्रवेश गर्न लग्दा साराई अति सुन्दरी थिइन् भनी मिश्रीहरूले देखे ।
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.
फारोका अधिकारीहरूले तिनलाई देखे र फारोको सामु तिनको प्रशंसा गरे र ती स्त्रीलाई फारोको घरानामा लगियो ।
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.
फारोले तिनको खातिर अब्रामलाई राम्रो व्यवहार गरे र तिनलाई गोरु, गधाहरू, नोकरीहरू, गधैनीहरू र ऊँटहरू दिए ।
17 And the Lord sent great troubles on Pharaoh's house because of Sarai, Abram's wife.
अनि परमप्रभुले अब्रामकी पत्नी साराईको कारण फारो र तिनको परिवारमाथि ठुलो विपत्ति ल्याउनुभयो ।
18 Then Pharaoh sent for Abram, and said, What have you done to me? why did you not say that she was your wife?
फारोले अब्रामलाई बोलाए र भने, “तिमीले मलाई यो के गरेको? तिनी तिम्रो पत्नी थिइन् भनी मलाई किन बताएनौ?
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.
'तिनी मेरी बहिनी हुन्' भनी तिमीले किन मलाई भन्यौ? त्यसैले मैले तिनलाई मेरी पत्नी बनाउन मैले लगेँ । यसकारण, तिम्रो पत्नी यहीँ छिन् । तिनलाई लेऊ र आफ्नो बाटो लाग ।
20 And Pharaoh gave orders to his men, and they sent him on his way, with his wife and all he had.
अनि फारोले तिनको बारेमा आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई आदेश दिए र तिनीहरूले तिनलाई तिनकी पत्नी र तिनीसँग भएका सबै थोकसहित पठाए ।
