Genesis 12
1 For the Lord had said vnto Abram, Get thee out of thy countrey, and from thy kindred, and from thy fathers house vnto the land that I will shewe thee.
Le Abram fofo ƒe ku megbe la, Yehowa gblɔ na Abram be, “Ʋu le mia de, gblẽ wò ƒometɔwo ɖi, eye nàyi anyigba si mafia wò la dzi.
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and will blesse thee, and make thy name great, and thou shalt be a blessing.
Ne èwɔ esia la, mana nàzu dukɔ gã aɖe fofo. Mayra wò, eye mana nàxɔ ŋkɔ. Gawu la, àhe yayra vɛ na ame geɖewo.
3 I will also blesse them that blesse thee, and curse them that curse thee, and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Mayra ame siwo ayra wò la, eye maƒo fi ade ame sia ame si aƒo fi ade wò la. Woayra xexea me blibo la ɖe tawò.”
4 So Abram departed, euen as ye Lord spake vnto him, and Lot went with him. (And Abram was seuentie and fiue yeere olde, when he departed out of Haran)
Ale Abram ʋu le wo de abe ale si Yehowa gblɔ nɛ ene. Ekplɔ Lot ɖe asi. Ɣe ma ɣi la, Abram xɔ ƒe blaadre-vɔ-atɔ̃ esi wòdzo le Haran.
5 Then Abram tooke Sarai his wife, and Lot his brothers sonne, and all their substance that they possessed, and the soules that they had gotten in Haran, and they departed, to goe to the land of Canaan: and to the land of Canaan they came.
Ekplɔ srɔ̃a, Sarai kple eƒe tɔgãyɔvi Lot ɖe asi, eye wòtsɔ kesinɔnu siwo katã wòkpɔ le Haran, nyiwo kple kluviwo siaa dzoe heyi Kanaan.
6 So Abram passed through the land vnto the place of Shechem, and vnto the plaine of Moreh (and the Canaanite was then in ye land)
Esime wonɔ mɔ zɔm to Kanaanyigba dzi la, woɖo teƒe aɖe le Sikem gbɔ. Wotɔ ɖe ati gã aɖe te le More. Kanaantɔwo nɔ anyigba la dzi ɣe ma ɣi.
7 And the Lord appeared vnto Abram, and said, Vnto thy seede will I giue this land. And there builded he an altar vnto the Lord, which appeared vnto him.
Yehowa ɖe eɖokui fia Abram, eye wògblɔ be, “Matsɔ anyigba sia ana wò dzidzimeviwo.” Abram ɖi vɔsamlekpui aɖe ɖe afi ma hena ŋkuɖoɖo ale si Yehowa ɖe eɖokui fiae le afi ma la dzi.
8 Afterward remouing thence vnto a moutaine Eastward from Beth-el, he pitched his tent hauing Beth-el on the Westside, and Haai on the East: and there he built an altar vnto the Lord, and called on the Name of the Lord.
Le esia megbe la, Abram dzo le afi sia, eye wòɖo ta anyigbeme lɔƒo, heyi tonyigba si le Betel le ɣetoɖoƒe kple Ai le ɣedzeƒe la dome. Etu agbadɔ kple vɔsamlekpui ɖe afi sia, eye wòdo gbe ɖa na Yehowa.
9 Againe Abram went forth going and iourneying toward the South.
Ale wòyi mɔzɔzɔ dzi ɖɔɖɔɖɔ henɔ anyigbeme yim, henɔ tɔtɔm ɖe teƒewo ɖo ta Negeb.
10 Then there came a famine in the land: therefore Abram went downe into Egypt to soiourne there: for there was a great famine in the lande.
Dɔwuame sesẽ aɖe nɔ anyigba la dzi ɣe ma ɣi, ale Abram yi be yeanɔ Egipte.
11 And when he drewe neere to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, Beholde nowe, I know that thou art a faire woman to looke vpon:
Ke esi wògogo Egipte la, egblɔ na Sarai be wòagblɔ na ame sia ame be ye nɔvinyɔnue yenye! “Èdze tugbe ŋutɔ.
12 Therefore it will come to passe, that when the Egyptians see thee, they will say, She is his wife: so will they kill me, but they will keepe thee aliue.
Ne Egiptetɔwo kpɔ wò la, woagblɔ be, ‘Srɔ̃ae nye nyɔnu sia, mina míawu ŋutsu la ekema míaxɔ nyɔnu la aɖe!’
13 Say, I pray thee, that thou art my sister, that I may fare well for thy sake, and that my life may be preserued by thee.
Ke ne ègblɔ be nɔvinyee yenye la, Egiptetɔwo axɔm nyuie le tawò, eye womawum o!”
14 Nowe when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians behelde the woman: for she was very faire.
Le nyateƒe me esi woɖo Egipte la, ame sia ame ɖi ɖase le eƒe tugbedzedze ŋu.
15 And the Princes of Pharaoh sawe her, and commended her vnto Pharaoh: so the woman was taken into Pharaohs house:
Esi fia ƒe subɔlawo kpɔe la, wokafu eƒe tugbedzedze na Fia Farao, eye wokplɔe yi ɖe Farao ƒe aƒe me.
16 Who intreated Abram well for her sake, and he had sheepe, and beeues, and hee asses, and men seruants and maide seruants, and shee asses, and camelles.
Farao tsɔ nunana geɖewo, alẽwo, nyiwo, tedziwo, kluviwo, kosiwo kple kposɔwo na Abram ɖe srɔ̃a Sarai ta.
17 But the Lord plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues, because of Sarai Abrams wife.
Ke Yehowa na dɔvɔ̃ sesẽ aɖe va ge ɖe Farao ƒe aƒe me le Abram srɔ̃ Sarai ƒe aƒea me nɔnɔ ta.
18 Then Pharaoh called Abram, and saide, Why hast thou done this vnto me? Wherefore diddest thou not tell me, that she was thy wife?
Ale Farao yɔ Abram va eɖokui gbɔ, eye wòka mo nɛ gblɔ be, “Nu kae nye esi nèwɔ ɖe ŋunye? Nu ka ta mègblɔ nam be ye srɔ̃e o ɖo?
19 Why saidest thou, She is my sister, that I should take her to be my wife? Nowe therefore beholde thy wife, take her and goe thy way.
Nu ka ta nèɖe mɔ nam be maɖee, eye nègblɔ nam be ye nɔvie ɖo? Kpɔ ɖa, kplɔ srɔ̃wò dzoe le afi sia enumake!”
20 And Pharaoh gaue men commandement concerning him: and they conueyed him forth, and his wife, and all that he had.
Ale Farao nya wo, eye wòna asrafowo dzɔ Abram, srɔ̃a kple woƒe amewo kple woƒe kesinɔnuwo katã ŋu va se ɖe esime wodo go le eƒe anyigba dzi.
