< Genesis 12 >
1 The Lord told Abram, “Leave your country, your relatives, your family home, and travel to the country I'm going to show you.
Olúwa sì wí fún Abramu, “Jáde kúrò ní orílẹ̀-èdè rẹ àti kúrò lọ́dọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn rẹ, lọ sí ilẹ̀ kan tí èmi yóò fihàn ọ́.
2 I will make you the ancestor of a great nation and I will bless you. I will make sure you have a great reputation and that you are a blessing to others.
“Èmi yóò sọ ọ́ di orílẹ̀-èdè ńlá, èmi yóò sì bùkún fún ọ; èmi yóò sọ orúkọ rẹ di ńlá, ìbùkún ni ìwọ yóò sì jásí.
3 I will bless those who bless you; I will curse those who curse you. Everyone on earth will be blessed through you.”
Èmi yóò bùkún fún àwọn tí ó súre fún ọ, ẹni tí ó fi ọ́ ré ni Èmi yóò fi ré; nínú rẹ ni a ó bùkún gbogbo ìdílé ayé.”
4 So Abram left following the Lord's instructions, and Lot went with him. Abram was 75 when he left Haran.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Abramu lọ bí Olúwa ti sọ fún un. Lọti náà sì bá a lọ. Abramu jẹ́ ẹni àrùndínlọ́gọ́rin ọdún nígbà tí ó jáde kúrò ní Harani.
5 With him went his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, together with all the possessions they had collected and the people that had joined them in Harran. They left for the land of Canaan. When they arrived there,
Abramu sì mú Sarai aya rẹ̀, àti Lọti ọmọ arákùnrin rẹ̀: gbogbo ohun ìní tí wọ́n ti kójọ àti àwọn ènìyàn tí wọ́n ní ní Harani. Wọ́n sì jáde lọ sí ilẹ̀ Kenaani. Wọ́n sì gúnlẹ̀ síbẹ̀.
6 Abram traveled on through the country as far as a place called Shechem, stopping at the oak tree of Moreh. At that time the country was occupied by Canaanites.
Abramu sì rìn la ilẹ̀ náà já títí dé ibi igi ńlá kan tí à ń pè ni More ní Ṣekemu. Àwọn ará Kenaani sì wà ní ilẹ̀ náà.
7 The Lord appeared to Abram and said, “I'm going to give this land to your descendants.” So Abram built an altar to the Lord there because that was where the Lord appeared to him.
Olúwa sì farahan Abramu, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Irú-ọmọ rẹ ni Èmi yóò fi ilẹ̀ yìí fún.” Abramu tẹ́ pẹpẹ kan síbẹ̀ fún Olúwa tí ó fi ara hàn án.
8 Then he moved on to the hill country east of Bethel and set up camp there. Bethel was to the west and Ai to the east. He built an altar to the Lord there and worshiped him.
Ó sì kúrò níbẹ̀ lọ sí agbègbè àwọn òkè kan ní ìhà ìlà-oòrùn Beteli, ó sì pàgọ́ rẹ̀ síbẹ̀. Beteli wà ní ìwọ̀-oòrùn, Ai wà ní ìlà-oòrùn. Ó tẹ́ pẹpẹ kan níbẹ̀ fún Olúwa, ó sì ké pe orúkọ Olúwa.
9 After that he went on his way, heading towards the Negev.
Nígbà náà ni Abramu tẹ̀síwájú sí ìhà gúúsù.
10 But the land had been hit by famine. So Abram continued on to Egypt, planning to live there because the famine was so bad.
Ìyàn kan sì mú ní ilẹ̀ náà, Abramu sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Ejibiti láti ṣe àtìpó níbẹ̀ fún ìgbà díẹ̀, nítorí ìyàn náà mú gidigidi.
11 As he approached Egypt and was about to cross the border, he said to his wife Sarai, “Look, I know what a beautiful woman you are.
Bí ó ti ku díẹ̀ kí ó wọ Ejibiti, ó wí fún Sarai, aya rẹ̀ pé, “Mo mọ̀ pé arẹwà obìnrin ni ìwọ,
12 When the Egyptians see you, they'll say, ‘She's his wife,’ and they'll kill me but not you!
nígbà tí àwọn ará Ejibiti bá rí ọ, wọn yóò wí pé, ‘Aya rẹ̀ nìyí.’ Wọn yóò si pa mí, ṣùgbọ́n wọn yóò dá ọ sí.
13 Tell them you're my sister so I'll be treated well because of you, and my life will be spared for your sake.”
Nítorí náà, sọ pé, arábìnrin mi ni ìwọ, wọn yóò sì ṣe mí dáradára, a ó sì dá ẹ̀mí mi sí nítorí tìrẹ.”
14 When Abram arrived in Egypt, the people there saw how beautiful Sarai was.
Nígbà tí Abramu dé Ejibiti, àwọn ará Ejibiti ri i pé aya rẹ̀ rẹwà gidigidi.
15 Pharaoh's officials also noticed and spoke positively about her to Pharaoh. So Sarai was taken to his palace to become one of his wives.
Nígbà tí àwọn ìjòyè Farao sì rí i, wọ́n ròyìn rẹ̀ níwájú Farao, wọ́n sì mú un lọ sí ààfin.
16 Pharaoh treated Abram well because of her, giving him sheep and cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.
Ó sì kẹ́ Abramu dáradára nítorí Sarai, Abramu sì ní àgùntàn àti màlúù, akọ àti abo kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́, ìránṣẹ́kùnrin àti ìránṣẹ́bìnrin, pẹ̀lú ìbákasẹ.
17 But the Lord caused Pharaoh and the people in his palace to suffer from terrible diseases because of Sarai, Abram's wife.
Olúwa sì rán àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn búburú sí Farao àti ilé rẹ̀, nítorí Sarai aya Abramu.
18 So Pharaoh ordered Abram brought to him and said, “What have you done to me? Why didn't you tell me that she was your wife?
Nítorí náà Farao ránṣẹ́ pe Abramu, ó sì wí fun pé, “Èwo ni ìwọ ṣe sí mi yìí? Kí ló dé tí ìwọ kò sọ fún mi pé aya rẹ ní í ṣe?
19 Why did you say, ‘She's my sister,’ and let me take her to become one of my wives? So here's your wife! Take her and leave!”
Èéṣe tí o fi wí pé, ‘Arábìnrin mi ni,’ tí èmi sì fi fẹ́ ẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí aya? Nítorí náà nísinsin yìí, aya rẹ náà nìyí, mú un kí o sì máa lọ.”
20 Pharaoh ordered his guards to expel him and his wife from the country, along with everyone with them and all their possessions.
Nígbà náà ni Farao pàṣẹ fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ nípa Abramu, wọ́n sì lé e jáde ti òun ti aya rẹ̀ àti ohun gbogbo tí ó ní.
