Genesis 12
1 Then the Lord said to Abram: “Depart from your land, and from your kindred, and from your father’s house, and come into the land that I will show you.
Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Abram: “Sòti nan peyi ou ak fanmi ou yo, ak lakay papa ou, pou ale vè yon peyi ke Mwen va montre nou.
2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and magnify your name, and you will be blessed.
Mwen va fè ou vin yon gran nasyon. Mwen va beni ou, e fè non ou vin gran. Ou va yon benediksyon.
3 I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you, and in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.”
Mwen va beni sila yo ki beni ou, e sila ki modi ou yo, Mwen va modi yo. Konsa, nan ou, tout fanmi sou latè yo va beni.”
4 And so Abram departed just as the Lord had instructed him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.
Alò, Abram te sòti jan SENYÈ a te pale l la. Lot te ale avè l. Abram te gen laj swasann-kenz ane lè li te kite Haran.
5 And he took his wife Sarai, and Lot, the son of his brother, and all the substance which they had come to possess, and the lives which they had acquired in Haran, and they departed in order to go to the land of Canaan. And when they arrived in it,
Abram te pran Saraï madanm li avèk Lot, neve li, ak tout zafè yo ke yo te ranmase avèk moun ke yo te vin genyen nan Haran, e yo te pati pou peyi Canaan an. Konsa yo te rive Canaan.
6 Abram passed through the land even to the place of Shechem, as far as the famous steep valley. Now at that time, the Canaanite was in the land.
Abram te pase nan peyi a jis rive Sichem, nan chenn Moré yo. Alò nan tan sa a, Kanaaneyen yo te nan peyi a.
7 Then the Lord appeared to Abram, and he said to him, “To your offspring, I will give this land.” And there he built an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him.
SENYÈ a te parèt a Abram. Li te di: “A desandan ou yo, Mwen va bay peyi sila a.” Alò, li te bati yon lotèl nan plas kote SENYÈ a te parèt a li a.
8 And passing on from there to a mountain, which was opposite the east of Bethel, he pitched his tent there, having Bethel to the west, and Hai on the east. He also built an altar there to the Lord, and he called upon his name.
Alò, li te kontinye depi la nan mòn nan, nan lès Béthel. Li te monte tant li, avèk Béthel nan lwès, ak Aï nan lès. La li te bati yon lotèl a SENYÈ a, e li te rele non a SENYÈ a.
9 And Abram traveled, going out and continuing further on, toward the south.
Abram te vwayaje toujou vè Negev.
10 But a famine occurred in the land. And Abram descended to Egypt, to sojourn there. For famine prevailed over the land.
Alò te gen yon gwo grangou nan peyi a, ki fè Abram desann an Égypte pou pase yon tan, akoz gwo grangou a te tèlman di nan peyi a.
11 And when he was close to entering Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai: “I know you to be a beautiful woman.
Li te rive ke lè li te rive toupre Égypte, li te di a Saraï, madanm li: “Gade, mwen konnen ke ou se yon fanm ki tèlman bèl!
12 And when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘She is his wife.’ And they will put me to death, and retain you.
Lè Ejipsyen yo wè ou, yo va di: ‘Sa se madanm li.’ Konsa, yo va touye mwen, men yo va kite ou viv.
13 Therefore, I beg you to say that you are my sister, so that it may be well with me because of you, and so that my soul may live by your favor.”
Souple, di ke se sè mwen ou ye, pou sa ale byen pou mwen, e pou mwen kapab viv akoz ou menm.”
14 And so, when Abram had arrived in Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was exceedingly beautiful.
Li te vin rive ke lè Abram te antre Égypte, ke Ejipsyen yo te wè ke fanm nan te byen bèl.
15 And the princes reported it to Pharaoh, and they praised her to him. And the woman was inducted into the house of Pharaoh.
Ofisyèl Farawon yo te wè li e te pote lwanj li bay Farawon. Konsa, yo te pran fanm nan fè l antre lakay Farawon an.
16 In truth, they treated Abram well because of her. And he had sheep and oxen and male donkeys, and men servants, and women servants, and female donkeys, and camels.
Pou sa li te trete Abram byen pou koz li. Li te bay li mouton avèk bèf kabwa avèk bourik, ak sèvitè, ni mal ni femèl, ak femèl bourik avèk chamo.
17 But the Lord scourged Pharaoh and his house with great wounds because of Sarai, the wife of Abram.
Men SENYÈ a te frape Farawon avèk gwo malè yo akoz Saraï, madanm Abram nan.
18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and he said to him: “What is this that you have done to me? Why did you not tell me she was your wife?
Epi Farawon te rele Abram. Li te di li: “Kisa ou fè m la a? Poukisa ou pa t di mwen ke li te madanm ou?
19 For what reason did you claim her to be your sister, so that I would take her to me as a wife? Now therefore, behold your mate, receive her and go.”
Poukisa ou te di: Li se sè m, pou m te pran l kòm madanm mwen? Alò, men madanm ou, pran l ale.”
20 And Pharaoh instructed his men about Abram. And they led him away with his wife and all that he had.
Farawon te kòmande mesye pa l yo konsènan li, epi yo te akonpanye l ale, avèk madanm li, ak tout bagay ki te pou li yo.
