Genesis 12
1 And the Lord said to Abram, Go forth out of your land and out of your kindred, and out of the house of your father, and come into the land which I will show you.
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 you a great nation, and I will bless you and magnify your name, and you shall be blessed.
“Niĩ nĩngagũtua rũrĩrĩ rũnene, na nĩngakũrathima; nĩngatũma rĩĩtwa rĩaku rĩgĩe igweta, nawe nĩũgatuĩka kĩrathimo.
3 And I will bless those that bless you, and curse those that curse you, and in you shall all the tribes 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 And Abram went as the Lord spoke to him, and Lot departed with him, and Abram was seventy-five years old, when he went out of Charrhan.
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 And Abram took Sara his wife, and Lot the son of his brother, and all their possessions, as many as they had got, and every soul which they had got in Charrhan, and they went forth to go into the land of Chanaan.
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 And Abram traversed the land lengthwise as far as the place Sychem, to the high oak, and the Chananites then inhabited the 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 to Abram, and said to him, I will give this land to your seed. And Abram built an altar there to the Lord who appeared to 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 And he departed thence to the mountain eastward of Baethel, and there he pitched his tent in Baethel near the sea, and Aggai toward the east, and there he built an altar to 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 And Abram departed and went and encamped in the wilderness.
Thuutha-inĩ Aburamu akiumagara rĩngĩ agĩthiĩ na mbere na rũgendo arorete Negevu.
10 And there was a famine in the land, and Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there, because the famine prevailed in the land.
Na rĩrĩ, nĩ kwagĩire ngʼaragu bũrũri ũcio, nake Aburamu agĩikũrũka athiĩ Misiri agaikare kuo kwa ihinda, tondũ ngʼaragu nĩ yarĩ nene mũno.
11 And it came to pass when Abram drew near to enter into Egypt, Abram said to Sara his wife, I know that you are a fair woman.
Arĩ o hakuhĩ gũtoonya Misiri-rĩ, akĩĩra mũtumia wake Sarai atĩrĩ, “Nĩnjũũĩ atĩ ũrĩ mũndũ-wa-nja kĩĩrorerwa.
12 It shall come to pass then that when the Egyptians shall see you, they shall say, This is his wife, and they shall kill me, but they shall save you alive.
Na rĩrĩ, andũ a Misiri makuona mekuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Ũyũ nĩ mũtumia wake,’ tondũ ũcio manjũrage no wee makũreke ũtũũre muoyo, makuoe.
13 Say, therefore, I am his sister, that it may be well with me on account of you, and my soul shall live because of you.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio wee uga atĩ ũrĩ mwarĩ wa baba, nĩgeetha ũhonokie muoyo wakwa na manjĩke wega nĩ ũndũ waku.”
14 And it came to pass when Abram entered into Egypt—the Egyptians having seen his wife that she was very beautiful—
Rĩrĩa Aburamu aakinyire Misiri, andũ a Misiri makĩona atĩ mũtumia wake aarĩ kĩĩrorerwa biũ.
15 that the princes of Pharao saw her, and praised her to Pharao and brought her into the house of Pharao.
Nao anene a Firaũni mamuona, makĩmũgaathĩrĩria kũrĩ Firaũni, na makĩmuoya makĩmũtwara nyũmba-inĩ yake ya ũthamaki.
16 And they treated Abram well on her account, and he had sheep, and calves, and asses, and menservants, and women-servants, and mules, and camels.
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 And God afflicted Pharao with great and severe afflictions, and his house, because of Sara, Abram's wife.
No Jehova akĩnyamaria Firaũni na nyũmba yake na mĩrimũ mĩũru nĩ ũndũ wa Sarai, mũtumia wa Aburamu.
18 And Pharao having called Abram, said, What is this you have done to me, that you did not tell me that she was your wife?
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Firaũni agĩtũmanĩra Aburamu akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ atĩa ũũ ũnjĩkĩte? Nĩ kĩĩ kĩagiririe ũnjĩĩre atĩ ũyũ nĩ mũtumia waku?
19 Therefore did you say, She is my sister? and I took her for a wife to myself; and now, behold, your wife is before you, take her and go quickly away.
Nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũmire uuge, ‘Ũyũ nĩ mwarĩ wa baba,’ na nĩkĩo ndaamuoire atuĩke mũtumia wakwa? Mũtumia waku nĩwe ũyũ! Muoye mũthiĩ!”
20 And Pharao gave charge to men concerning Abram, to join in sending him forward, 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.
