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.
Nake Jehova nĩeerĩte Aburamu atĩrĩ, “Thaama uume bũrũri wanyu na ũtige andũ anyu, na nyũmba ya thoguo, ũthiĩ bũrũri ũrĩa ngaakuonia.
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.
“Niĩ nĩngagũtua rũrĩrĩ rũnene, na nĩngakũrathima; nĩngatũma rĩĩtwa rĩaku rĩgĩe igweta, nawe nĩũgatuĩka kĩrathimo.
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.
Nĩngarathima arĩa magaakũrathima, na ũrĩa o wothe ũgaakũruma na niĩ nĩngatũma anyiitwo nĩ kĩrumi; nao andũ othe a thĩ nĩmakarathimwo nĩ ũndũ waku.”
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)
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Aburamu akiumagara agĩthiĩ, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aamwathĩte; nake Loti agĩthiĩ nake. Aburamu aarĩ na mĩaka mĩrongo mũgwanja na ĩtano rĩrĩa oimire Harani.
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.
Nake nĩathiire na mũtumia wake Sarai, na Loti, mũriũ wa mũrũ wa nyina, na indo ciothe iria maagĩte nacio, na andũ arĩa maagĩte nao kũu Harani, na makiumagara marorete bũrũri wa Kaanani, na magĩkinya kuo.
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)
Aburamu agĩtuĩkanĩria bũrũri ũcio agĩkinya handũ haarĩ na mũtĩ mũnene wa More kũu Shekemu. Hĩndĩ ĩyo Akaanani nĩo maatũũraga bũrũri ũcio.
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.
Nake Jehova akiumĩrĩra Aburamu, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Bũrũri ũyũ nĩguo ngaahe rũciaro rwaku.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Aburamu agĩakĩra Jehova kĩgongona hau, o we Jehova ũcio wamuumĩrĩire.
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.
Kuuma hau agĩthiĩ erekeire irĩma iria irĩ mwena wa irathĩro wa itũũra rĩa Betheli, na akĩamba hema yake, Betheli ĩgĩkorwo ĩrĩ mwena wa ithũĩro na itũũra rĩa Ai rĩrĩ mwena wa irathĩro. Hau nĩho aakĩire Jehova kĩgongona na agĩkaĩra rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova.
9 Againe Abram went forth going and iourneying toward the South.
Thuutha-inĩ Aburamu akiumagara rĩngĩ agĩthiĩ na mbere na rũgendo arorete Negevu.
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.
Na rĩrĩ, nĩ kwagĩire ngʼaragu bũrũri ũcio, nake Aburamu agĩikũrũka athiĩ Misiri agaikare kuo kwa ihinda, tondũ ngʼaragu nĩ yarĩ nene mũno.
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:
Arĩ o hakuhĩ gũtoonya Misiri-rĩ, akĩĩra mũtumia wake Sarai atĩrĩ, “Nĩnjũũĩ atĩ ũrĩ mũndũ-wa-nja kĩĩrorerwa.
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.
Na rĩrĩ, andũ a Misiri makuona mekuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Ũyũ nĩ mũtumia wake,’ tondũ ũcio manjũrage no wee makũreke ũtũũre muoyo, makuoe.
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio wee uga atĩ ũrĩ mwarĩ wa baba, nĩgeetha ũhonokie muoyo wakwa na manjĩke wega nĩ ũndũ waku.”
14 Nowe when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians behelde the woman: for she was very faire.
Rĩrĩa Aburamu aakinyire Misiri, andũ a Misiri makĩona atĩ mũtumia wake aarĩ kĩĩrorerwa biũ.
15 And the Princes of Pharaoh sawe her, and commended her vnto Pharaoh: so the woman was taken into Pharaohs house:
Nao anene a Firaũni mamuona, makĩmũgaathĩrĩria kũrĩ Firaũni, na makĩmuoya makĩmũtwara nyũmba-inĩ yake ya ũthamaki.
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.
Nake Firaũni agĩtuga Aburamu nĩ ũndũ wa Sarai, na Aburamu akĩgĩa na mbũri na ngʼombe, na ndigiri cia njamba na cia nga, ndungata cia arũme na cia airĩtu, na ngamĩĩra.
17 But the Lord plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues, because of Sarai Abrams wife.
No Jehova akĩnyamaria Firaũni na nyũmba yake na mĩrimũ mĩũru nĩ ũndũ wa Sarai, mũtumia wa Aburamu.
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?
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Firaũni agĩtũmanĩra Aburamu akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ atĩa ũũ ũnjĩkĩte? Nĩ kĩĩ kĩagiririe ũnjĩĩre atĩ ũyũ nĩ mũtumia waku?
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.
Nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũmire uuge, ‘Ũyũ nĩ mwarĩ wa baba,’ na nĩkĩo ndaamuoire atuĩke mũtumia wakwa? Mũtumia waku nĩwe ũyũ! Muoye mũthiĩ!”
20 And Pharaoh gaue men commandement concerning him: and they conueyed him forth, and his wife, and all that he had.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Firaũni agĩathana akĩĩra andũ ake ũrĩa megwĩka Aburamu, nao makĩmumagaria arĩ na mũtumia wake na indo ciothe iria aarĩ nacio.
