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:
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 I will bless 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 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.
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, 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.
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 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.
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 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite [was] then in the 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 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.
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 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.
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 And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.
Sima, Abrami alongwaki wana mpe akendeki malembe-malembe kino na Negevi.
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.
Nzala makasi ekotaki na mokili; bongo Abrami akendeki kovanda na Ejipito mpo na tango moke, pamba te nzala makasi ekotaki na mokili.
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:
Tango akomaki pene ya kokota na Ejipito, alobaki na mwasi na ye Sarayi: « Nayebi ete ozali mwasi kitoko penza.
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.
Tango bato ya Ejipito bakomona yo, bakoloba: ‹ Azali mwasi na ye. › Boye, bakoboma ngai mpe bakotika yo na bomoi.
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.
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 And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she [was] very fair.
Tango Abrami akomaki na Ejipito, bato ya Ejipito bamonaki ete Sarayi azalaki mwasi kitoko penza.
15 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s 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 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.
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 And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram’s wife.
Kasi Yawe apesaki etumbu makasi epai ya Faraon mpe ndako na ye mpo na Sarayi, mwasi ya Abrami.
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?
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 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.
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 commanded [his] men concerning him: and they sent him away, 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.
