< Genesis 12 >

1 Now the LORD said unto Abram: 'Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto the land that I will show thee.
Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Abrama: Mandehana miala amin’ ny taninao sy ny havanao ary ny tranon’ ny rainao hankany amin’ ny tany izay hasehoko anao;
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and be thou a blessing.
dia hahatonga anao ho firenena lehibe Aho sady hitahy anao sy hahalehibe ny anaranao; ary ho fitahiana tokoa ianao;
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and him that curseth thee will I curse; and in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed.'
ary hitahy izay manisy soa anao Aho, fa hanozona izay manozona anao; ary aminao no hitahiana ny firenena rehetra ambonin’ ny tany.
4 So Abram went, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him; and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
Dia nandeha Abrama araka izay efa nolazain’ i Jehovah taminy, ary Lota koa mba niaraka taminy. Ary efa dimy amby fito-polo taona Abrama, raha niala tao Harana izy.
5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
Ary Abrama nitondra an’ i Saray vadiny sy Lota zana-drahalahiny mbamin’ ny fananan’ izy rehetra izay efa nohariny sy ny olona izay efa azony tao Harana; dia niainga izy ireo hankany amin’ ny tany Kanana, ka tonga tany amin’ ny tany Kanana izy.
6 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Shechem, unto the terebinth of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
Ary Abrama dia nitety ny tany hatrany Sekema, dia tao an-kazo terebintan’ i More. Ary ny Kananita no tompon-tany tany Kanana fahizay.
7 And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said: 'Unto thy seed will I give this land'; and he builded there an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.
Ary Jehovah niseho tamin’ i Abrama ka nanao hoe: Ny taranakao no homeko ity tany ity. Dia nanorina alitara teo izy ho an’ i Jehovah Izay niseho taminy.
8 And he removed from thence unto the mountain on the east of Beth-el, and pitched his tent, having Beth-el on the west, and Ai on the east; and he builded there an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD.
Ary nifindra niala teo izy hankany amin’ ny tendrombohitra atsinanan’ i Betela ka nanorina ny lainy teo anelanelan’ i Betela tao andrefany sy Ay tao atsinanany; dia nanorina alitara teo koa ho an’ i Jehovah izy ka niantso ny anaran’ i Jehovah.
9 And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the South.
Ary nifindra Abrama ka nandroso niandalana ho any amin’ ny tany atsimo.
10 And there was a famine in the land; and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was sore in the land.
Ary nisy mosary teo amin’ ny tany; ary Abrama dia nidina nankany Egypta hivahiny any, fa mafy ny mosary teo amin’ ny tany.
11 And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife: 'Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon.
Ary rehefa nadiva ho tonga tany Egypta izy, dia hoy izy tamin’ i Saray vadiny: Indro, fantatro fa vehivavy tsara tarehy ianao,
12 And it will come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they will say: This is his wife; and they will kill me, but thee they will keep alive.
ka, raha hitan’ ny Egyptiana, dia hataony hoe: Vadiny io; ka hovonoiny aho, fa ianao kosa hovelominy.
13 Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister; that it may be well with me for thy sake, and that my soul may live because of thee.'
Masìna ianao, lazao fa anabaviko ianao, mba hasiany soa aho noho ny aminao, ka ianao no hamelomany ahy.
14 And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
Ary rehefa tonga tany Egypta Abrama, dia hitan’ ny Egyptiana fa tsara tarehy indrindra ravehivavy.
15 And the princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
Ary nahita azy ny tandapan’ i Farao ka nidera azy tamin’ i Farao; dia nentina tao an-tranon’ i Farao izy.
16 And he dealt well with Abram for her sake; and he had sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and she-asses, and camels.
Ary Abrama nasian’ i Farao soa noho ny amin’ i Saray; dia nahazo ondry sy omby sy borikilahy sy andevolahy sy andevovavy sy borikivavy sy rameva izy.
17 And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.
Dia nasian’ i Jehovah areti-mandoza Farao sy ny ankohonany noho ny amin’ i Saray, vadin’ i Abrama.
18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and said: 'What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?
Ary Farao dia nampaka an’ i Abrama ka nanao hoe: Inona izao nataonao tamiko izao? Nahoana no tsy nambaranao tamiko fa vadinao izy?
19 Why saidst thou: She is my sister? so that I took her to be my wife; now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way.'
Nahoana ianao no nanao hoe: Anabaviko izy? ka nalaiko ho vady izy; koa ankehitriny, indro ny vadinao, ento izy, ka mandehana.
20 And Pharaoh gave men charge concerning him; and they brought him on the way, and his wife, and all that he had.
Dia nomen’ i Farao teny ny mpanompony sasany ny amin’ i Abrama; ary dia nanatitra azy sy ny vadiny mbamin’ ny fananany rehetra ireo.
