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.
Yawe alobaki na Abrami: « Bima wuta na mokili na yo, wuta na libota na yo mpe wuta na ndako ya tata na yo, mpo na lobiko na yo, mpe kende na mokili oyo nakolakisa yo.
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.
Nakokomisa yo ekolo monene mpe nakopambola yo; nakokomisa kombo na yo monene, mpe okozala etima ya mapamboli.
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.
Nakopambola bato oyo bakopambola yo, mpe nakolakela mabe moto oyo akolakela yo mabe; mpe bato ya bituka nyonso ya mabele bakomipambola mpo na yo. »
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)
Abrami akendeki ndenge Yawe alobaki na ye; mpe Loti akendeki na ye elongo. Abrami azalaki na mibu tuku sambo na mitano tango abimaki na engumba Arani.
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.
Abrami azwaki mwasi na ye Sarayi; Loti, mwana ya ndeko na ye; bomengo nyonso oyo akomaki na yango mpe bato oyo azwaki na Arani. Babimaki wuta na Arani mpo na kokende na Kanana mpe bakomaki kuna.
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)
Abrami atambolaki kati na mokili yango kino na esika oyo babengaka Sishemi, na nzete monene ya More. Na tango wana, bato ya Kanana bazalaki kovanda na mokili yango.
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.
Yawe amimonisaki epai ya Abrami mpe alobaki: « Nakopesa mokili oyo epai ya bakitani na yo. » Boye Abrami atongaki na esika yango etumbelo mpo na Yawe oyo amimonisaki epai na ye.
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.
Longwa wana, akendeki na bangomba ya este ya Beteli. Atongaki ndako na ye ya kapo kati ya Beteli mpe Ayi, na esika oyo atongaki etumbelo mpo na Yawe mpe abelelaki Kombo ya Yawe. Beteli ezalaki na ngambo ya weste mpe Ayi, na ngambo ya este.
9 Againe Abram went forth going and iourneying toward the South.
Sima, Abrami alongwaki wana mpe akendeki malembe-malembe kino na Negevi.
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.
Nzala makasi ekotaki na mokili; bongo Abrami akendeki kovanda na Ejipito mpo na tango moke, pamba te nzala makasi ekotaki na mokili.
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:
Tango akomaki pene ya kokota na Ejipito, alobaki na mwasi na ye Sarayi: « Nayebi ete ozali mwasi kitoko penza.
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.
Tango bato ya Ejipito bakomona yo, bakoloba: ‹ Azali mwasi na ye. › Boye, bakoboma ngai mpe bakotika yo na bomoi.
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.
Kasi yo, loba na bango ete ozali ndeko na ngai ya mwasi. Na bongo, bakosalela ngai bolamu mpo na yo, mpe bomoi na ngai ekobika mpo na yo. »
14 Nowe when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians behelde the woman: for she was very faire.
Tango Abrami akomaki na Ejipito, bato ya Ejipito bamonaki ete Sarayi azalaki mwasi kitoko penza.
15 And the Princes of Pharaoh sawe her, and commended her vnto Pharaoh: so the woman was taken into Pharaohs house:
Wana bakonzi ya basali ya Faraon bamonaki ye, bakumisaki ye liboso ya Faraon mpe bamemaki ye na ndako ya Faraon mpo ete akoma mwasi na ye.
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.
Basalelaki Abrami bolamu likolo ya Sarayi, mpe Abrami azwaki bameme, bantaba mpe bangombe, ba-ane, basali ya basi mpe ya mibali, bana ya ba-ane mpe bashamo.
17 But the Lord plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues, because of Sarai Abrams wife.
Kasi Yawe apesaki etumbu makasi epai ya Faraon mpe ndako na ye mpo na Sarayi, mwasi ya Abrami.
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?
Boye, Faraon abengisaki Abrami mpe alobaki na ye: « Likambo nini osali ngai? Mpo na nini oyebisaki ngai te ete azali mwasi na yo?
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.
Mpo na nini olobaki: ‹ Azali ndeko na ngai ya mwasi? › Mpo na yango, nakomisaki ye mwasi na ngai. Sik’oyo tala mwasi na yo, kamata ye mpe kende! »
20 And Pharaoh gaue men commandement concerning him: and they conueyed him forth, and his wife, and all that he had.
Boye, Faraon apesaki mitindo epai ya bato na ye na tina na Abrami ete babengana ye elongo na mwasi na ye mpe biloko nyonso oyo azalaki na yango.
