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.
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Abram niya, “Dar iwe pinyu gi jou kod joodu mondo idhi e piny ma abiro nyisi.
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and magnify thy name, and thou shalt be blessed.
“Anaketi oganda maduongʼ kendo anagwedhi; anami nyingi bed gi huma, kendo anami ibed gweth ne ji.
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:
Anagwedh jogo ma gwedhi kendo anakwongʼ jogo makwongʼi, kendo ogendini duto manie piny nogwedhi nikech in.”
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.
Omiyo Abram nowuok kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosenyise kendo Lut nodhi kode. Abram ne ja-higni piero abiriyo gabich kane owuok Haran.
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,
Nokawo chiege Sarai, gi Lut wuod owadgi, gi mwandu duto mane gisechoko kod wasumbini duto mane gin-go Haran, kendo negichako wuoth mar dhi Kanaan mi negichopo kuno.
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 nowuotho e piny mochopo Shekem e tiend yath maduongʼ mar More. E kindego jo-Kanaan nodak e pinyno.
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.
Jehova Nyasaye nofwenyore ne Abram mi owachone niya, “Anami kothi pinyni.” Omiyo Abram nogero kendo mar misango kanyo ne Jehova Nyasaye mane osefwenyorene.
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.
Noa kanyo modhi e piny gode ma yo wuok chiengʼ mar Bethel kendo nogero hembe e kind Bethel man yo podho chiengʼ to gi Ai man yo wuok chiengʼ. Kanyo nogeroe kendo mar misango ne Jehova Nyasaye kendo nolamo Jehova Nyasaye kanyo.
9 And Abram went forward, going, and proceeding on to the south.
Eka Abram nochako wuoth kendo odhi nyime giwuoth kochomo Negev.
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.
Koro kech nomako pinyno kendo Abram nodhi Misri mondo odhi odag kuno kuom kinde matin nikech kech ne duongʼ.
11 And when he was near to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife: I know that thou art a beautiful woman:
Kane ochiegni donjo Misri, nowacho ne Sarai chiege niya, “Angʼeyo kaka in dhako ma jaber.
12 And that when the Egyptians shall see thee, they will say: She is his wife: and they will kill me, and keep thee.
Ka jo-Misri oneni, gibiro wacho, ‘Ma en chiege.’ Mi gininega to inires ngimani.
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.
Wach ni in nyamera, mondo mi gitimna maber kendo ngimana obedie nikech in.”
14 And when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians saw the woman that she was very beautiful.
Kane Abram ochopo Misri, jo-Misri noneno Sarai kaka ne en dhako ma jaber miwuoro.
15 And the princes told Pharao, and praised her before him: and the woman was taken into the house of Pharao.
Kendo kane jodong Farao oneno Sarai, negiwuoro berne ne Farao kendo nokawe motere kar dak ruoth.
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.
Farao nomiyo Abram rit maber nikech Sarai, kendo nomiyo Abram rombe, dhok, pundane machwo gi mamon, wasumbini machwo gi mamon kod ngamia.
17 But the Lord scourged Pharao and his house with most grievous stripes for Sarai, Abram’s wife.
To Jehova Nyasaye nosando Farao gi joode gi tuoche madongo nikech Sarai chi Abram.
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?
Omiyo Farao noluongo Abram kendo nopenje niya, “Angʼo ma isetimonani? Ere gima omiyo ne ok inyisa ni Sarai en chiegi?
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.
Mara angʼo ne iwuonda ni Sarai en nyameru momiyo akawe mondo obed chiega? Chiegi eri, kawe mondo udhi.”
20 And Pharao gave his men orders concerning Abram: and they led him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
Eka Farao nogolo chik ne joge mondo ogol Abram, chiege gi gige duto kendo gikowogi oko mar pinyno.
