Genesis 12
1 And Jehovah had said to Abram, Go out of thy land, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, to the land that I will shew thee.
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 thee a great nation, and bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing.
Mwen va fè ou vin yon gran nasyon. Mwen va beni ou, e fè non ou vin gran. Ou va yon benediksyon.
3 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.
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 Abram departed as Jehovah had said to him. And Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed out of 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 Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their possessions that they had acquired, and the souls that they had obtained in Haran, and they went out to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
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 And Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then 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 And Jehovah appeared to Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land. And there he built an altar to Jehovah 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 he removed thence towards the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, [having] Bethel toward the west, and Ai toward the east; and there he built an altar to Jehovah, and called on the name of Jehovah.
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 moved onward, going on still toward the south.
Abram te vwayaje toujou vè Negev.
10 And there was a famine in the land. And Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine was grievous in 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 it came to pass when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a woman fair to look upon.
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 it will come to pass when the Egyptians see thee, that they will say, She is his wife; and they will slay me, and save thee alive.
Lè Ejipsyen yo wè ou, yo va di: ‘Sa se madanm li.’ Konsa, yo va touye mwen, men yo va kite ou viv.
13 Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister, that it may be well with me on thy account, and my soul may live because of thee.
Souple, di ke se sè mwen ou ye, pou sa ale byen pou mwen, e pou mwen kapab viv akoz ou menm.”
14 And it came to pass when Abram came into Egypt, that the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
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 of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
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 And he treated Abram well on her account; and he had sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and bondmen, and bondwomen, and she-asses, 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 And Jehovah plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.
Men SENYÈ a te frape Farawon avèk gwo malè yo akoz Saraï, madanm Abram nan.
18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this thou hast done to me? Why didst thou not tell me that she was thy 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 Why didst thou say, She is my sister, so that I took her as my wife. And now, behold, there is thy wife: take [her], and go away.
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 commanded [his] men concerning him, and they sent him away, and 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.
