Genesis 12
1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Abram niya, “Dar iwe pinyu gi jou kod joodu mondo idhi e piny ma abiro nyisi.
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
“Anaketi oganda maduongʼ kendo anagwedhi; anami nyingi bed gi huma, kendo anami ibed gweth ne ji.
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Anagwedh jogo ma gwedhi kendo anakwongʼ jogo makwongʼi, kendo ogendini duto manie piny nogwedhi nikech in.”
4 So Abram departed, 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.
Omiyo Abram nowuok kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosenyise kendo Lut nodhi kode. Abram ne ja-higni piero abiriyo gabich kane owuok Haran.
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.
Nokawo chiege Sarai, gi Lut wuod owadgi, gi mwandu duto mane gisechoko kod wasumbini duto mane gin-go Haran, kendo negichako wuoth mar dhi Kanaan mi negichopo kuno.
6 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite [was] then in the land.
Abram nowuotho e piny mochopo Shekem e tiend yath maduongʼ mar More. E kindego jo-Kanaan nodak e pinyno.
7 And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.
Jehova Nyasaye nofwenyore ne Abram mi owachone niya, “Anami kothi pinyni.” Omiyo Abram nogero kendo mar misango kanyo ne Jehova Nyasaye mane osefwenyorene.
8 And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Beth-el, and pitched his tent, [having] Beth-el on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD.
Noa kanyo modhi e piny gode ma yo wuok chiengʼ mar Bethel kendo nogero hembe e kind Bethel man yo podho chiengʼ to gi Ai man yo wuok chiengʼ. Kanyo nogeroe kendo mar misango ne Jehova Nyasaye kendo nolamo Jehova Nyasaye kanyo.
9 And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.
Eka Abram nochako wuoth kendo odhi nyime giwuoth kochomo Negev.
10 And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine [was] grievous in the land.
Koro kech nomako pinyno kendo Abram nodhi Misri mondo odhi odag kuno kuom kinde matin nikech kech ne duongʼ.
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:
Kane ochiegni donjo Misri, nowacho ne Sarai chiege niya, “Angʼeyo kaka in dhako ma jaber.
12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This [is] his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive.
Ka jo-Misri oneni, gibiro wacho, ‘Ma en chiege.’ Mi gininega to inires ngimani.
13 Say, I pray thee, thou [art] my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.
Wach ni in nyamera, mondo mi gitimna maber kendo ngimana obedie nikech in.”
14 And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she [was] very fair.
Kane Abram ochopo Misri, jo-Misri noneno Sarai kaka ne en dhako ma jaber miwuoro.
15 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.
Kendo kane jodong Farao oneno Sarai, negiwuoro berne ne Farao kendo nokawe motere kar dak ruoth.
16 And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.
Farao nomiyo Abram rit maber nikech Sarai, kendo nomiyo Abram rombe, dhok, pundane machwo gi mamon, wasumbini machwo gi mamon kod ngamia.
17 And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram’s wife.
To Jehova Nyasaye nosando Farao gi joode gi tuoche madongo nikech Sarai chi Abram.
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?
Omiyo Farao noluongo Abram kendo nopenje niya, “Angʼo ma isetimonani? Ere gima omiyo ne ok inyisa ni Sarai en chiegi?
19 Why saidst thou, She [is] my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take [her], and go thy way.
Mara angʼo ne iwuonda ni Sarai en nyameru momiyo akawe mondo obed chiega? Chiegi eri, kawe mondo udhi.”
20 And Pharaoh commanded [his] men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
Eka Farao nogolo chik ne joge mondo ogol Abram, chiege gi gige duto kendo gikowogi oko mar pinyno.
