Genesis 12
1 And the Lord said to Abram: Go forth out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and out of thy father’s house, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.
BAWIPA ni Abram koevah, Na ram, na imthung hoi na pa im cettakhai nateh kai ni na patue e ram koe lah cet leih.
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and magnify thy name, and thou shalt be blessed.
Kai ni miphun kalen lah na sak vaiteh, yawhawinae na poe han. Na min kamsawng sak vaiteh yawhawinae ka coe e tami lah na o han.
3 I will bless them that bless thee, and curse them that curse thee, and IN THEE shall all the kindred of the earth be blessed:
Nang yawhawinae ka poe e tami teh yawkahawi sak vaiteh, thoe na ka bo e tami teh thoe ka bo van han. Nang lahoi tami pueng ni yawhawinae a coe awh han telah atipouh.
4 So Abram went out as the Lord had commanded him, and Lot went with him: Abram was seventy-five years old when he went forth from Haran.
BAWIPA ni a dei pouh e patetlah Abram ni a kamthaw teh, Lot hai a kâbang van. Haran kho hoi a tâco navah Abram teh kum 75 touh a pha.
5 And he took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all the substance which they had gathered, and the souls which they had gotten in Haran: and they went out to go into the land of Chanaan. And when they were come into it,
Abraham ni a yu Sarai, a hmau e capa Lot hoi hnopai pueng thoseh, Haran kho dawk a hmu e taminaw hai thoseh, a ceikhai teh Kanaan ram pha hanelah a tâco. Hottelah hoi Kanaan ram a pha.
6 Abram passed through the country into the place of Sichem, as far as the noble vale: now the Chanaanite was at that time in the land.
Abram ni hote ram dawk yuengyoe a kâhlai teh, Shekhem hmuen Moreh e kathen kung koe a pha. Han navah Kanaan taminaw hote ram dawk yo la o awh toe.
7 And the Lord appeared to Abram, and said to him: To thy seed will I give this land. And he built there an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him.
BAWIPA teh Abram koe a kamnue teh hote ram teh na ca catounnaw na poe han atipouh. Hote ka kamnuek e BAWIPA hanelah khoungroe a sak pouh.
8 And passing on from thence to a mountain, that was on the east side of Bethel, he there pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east; he built there also an altar to the Lord, and called upon his name.
Hote hmuen koehoi Bethel kho Kanîtholae mon dawk a kampuen teh kanîloumlah Bethel hoi kanîtholah Ai kho rahak rim a sak. Hote hmuen koe BAWIPA hanelah khoungroe a sak teh BAWIPA e min a kaw.
9 And Abram went forward, going, and proceeding on to the south.
Hottelah Abram teh akalah kampuen hanlah a cei teh, Negev totouh a pha.
10 And there came a famine in the country; and Abram went down into Egypt, to sojourn there: for the famine was very grievous in the land.
Hathnukkhu Kanaan ram takang a tho dawkvah, Abram teh Izip ram lah a cei. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ram thung puenghoi takang a tho dawk doeh.
11 And when he was near to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife: I know that thou art a beautiful woman:
Izip ram a pha tawmlei navah a yu Sarai koe nang teh meikahawi e napui lah na o tie ka panue.
12 And that when the Egyptians shall see thee, they will say: She is his wife: and they will kill me, and keep thee.
Hatdawkvah, Izip taminaw ni nang na hmu awh navah, hete napui teh a yu doeh tet awh vaiteh kai na thei awh han, hatei nang teh na hlout sak awh han.
13 Say, therefore, I pray thee, that thou art my sister: that I may be well used for thee, and that my soul may live for thy sake.
Hatdawkvah, a tawncanu doeh na ti pouh han. Hottelah na dei pouh pawiteh nang dawk hoi kai hawinae ka hmu vaiteh ka hringnae hai a hlout han telah atipouh.
14 And when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians saw the woman that she was very beautiful.
Abram teh Izip ram a kâen navah Izip taminaw ni a yu a hmu navah a meihawi ati awh.
15 And the princes told Pharao, and praised her before him: and the woman was taken into the house of Pharao.
Faro e ukkungnaw ni a hmu navah, Faro hanelah a oup awh teh Faro im vah a ceikhai awh.
16 And they used Abram well for her sake. And he had sheep and oxen, and he asses, and men servants and maid servants, and she asses, and camels.
Faro siangpahrang ni napui kecu dawk Abram teh a khetyawt. Tu, Maito, La apui atan, sannu sanpa hoi kalauknaw a poe.
17 But the Lord scourged Pharao and his house with most grievous stripes for Sarai, Abram’s wife.
Hatei BAWIPA ni Abram e yu Sarai kecu dawk Faro hoi a imthungnaw pueng hoi runae a poe.
18 And Pharao called Abram, and said to him: What is this that thou hast done to me? Why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?
Faro ni Abram a kaw teh, kai dawk na sak e hno Bangtelamaw, bangkongmaw na yu nahlangva, na dei hoeh vaw.
19 For what cause didst thou say, she was thy sister, that I might take her to my wife? Now, therefore, there is thy wife, take her, and go thy way.
Bangkongmaw ka tawncanu na ti teh yu lah na la sak. Hatdawkvah, na yu heh atu hrawi nateh cet leih telah atipouh.
20 And Pharao gave his men orders concerning Abram: and they led him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
Hottelah Faro ni a taminaw kâ a poe teh a yu hoi a tawn e naw pueng hoi a cei sak.
