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.
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 thee a great nation, and bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then 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 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.
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 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.
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 Abram moved onward, going on still toward the south.
Ọzọ, Ebram si nʼebe ahụ pụọ gaa ije rute 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.
Nʼoge ahụ, oke ụnwụ dara nʼala ahụ. Nʼihi ya, Ebram hapụrụ ala ahụ gaa nʼala Ijipt, ebe o biri nwa oge.
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.
Ma mgbe ha na-akwado ịbanye ala Ijipt, ọ gwara Serai nwunye ya sị, “Amaara m na ị bụ nwanyị mara mma.
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.
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, 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.
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 it came to pass when Abram came into Egypt, that the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
Mgbe Ebram rutere Ijipt, ndị Ijipt hụrụ na nwunye ya bụ nwanyị mara mma.
15 And the princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman 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 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.
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 Jehovah plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues 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 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?
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 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.
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 commanded [his] men concerning him, and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
Fero nyere iwu banyere Ebram na ndị ikom so ya. Ha zilagara ya, ya na nwunye ya, na ihe niile o nwere.
