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.
Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Abram: “Sòti nan peyi ou ak fanmi ou yo, ak lakay papa ou, pou ale vè yon peyi ke Mwen va montre nou.
2 And I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you and magnify your name, and you shall be blessed.
Mwen va fè ou vin yon gran nasyon. Mwen va beni ou, e fè non ou vin gran. Ou va yon benediksyon.
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.
Mwen va beni sila yo ki beni ou, e sila ki modi ou yo, Mwen va modi yo. Konsa, nan ou, tout fanmi sou latè yo va beni.”
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.
Alò, Abram te sòti jan SENYÈ a te pale l la. Lot te ale avè l. Abram te gen laj swasann-kenz ane lè li te kite Haran.
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.
Abram te pran Saraï madanm li avèk Lot, neve li, ak tout zafè yo ke yo te ranmase avèk moun ke yo te vin genyen nan Haran, e yo te pati pou peyi Canaan an. Konsa yo te rive Canaan.
6 And Abram traversed the land lengthwise as far as the place Sychem, to the high oak, and the Chananites then inhabited the land.
Abram te pase nan peyi a jis rive Sichem, nan chenn Moré yo. Alò nan tan sa a, Kanaaneyen yo te nan peyi a.
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.
SENYÈ a te parèt a Abram. Li te di: “A desandan ou yo, Mwen va bay peyi sila a.” Alò, li te bati yon lotèl nan plas kote SENYÈ a te parèt a li a.
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.
Alò, li te kontinye depi la nan mòn nan, nan lès Béthel. Li te monte tant li, avèk Béthel nan lwès, ak Aï nan lès. La li te bati yon lotèl a SENYÈ a, e li te rele non a SENYÈ a.
9 And Abram departed and went and encamped in the wilderness.
Abram te vwayaje toujou vè Negev.
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.
Alò te gen yon gwo grangou nan peyi a, ki fè Abram desann an Égypte pou pase yon tan, akoz gwo grangou a te tèlman di nan peyi a.
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.
Li te rive ke lè li te rive toupre Égypte, li te di a Saraï, madanm li: “Gade, mwen konnen ke ou se yon fanm ki tèlman bèl!
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.
Lè Ejipsyen yo wè ou, yo va di: ‘Sa se madanm li.’ Konsa, yo va touye mwen, men yo va kite ou viv.
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.
Souple, di ke se sè mwen ou ye, pou sa ale byen pou mwen, e pou mwen kapab viv akoz ou menm.”
14 And it came to pass when Abram entered into Egypt—the Egyptians having seen his wife that she was very beautiful—
Li te vin rive ke lè Abram te antre Égypte, ke Ejipsyen yo te wè ke fanm nan te byen bèl.
15 that the princes of Pharao saw her, and praised her to Pharao and brought her into the house of Pharao.
Ofisyèl Farawon yo te wè li e te pote lwanj li bay Farawon. Konsa, yo te pran fanm nan fè l antre lakay Farawon an.
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.
Pou sa li te trete Abram byen pou koz li. Li te bay li mouton avèk bèf kabwa avèk bourik, ak sèvitè, ni mal ni femèl, ak femèl bourik avèk chamo.
17 And God afflicted Pharao with great and severe afflictions, and his house, because of Sara, Abram's wife.
Men SENYÈ a te frape Farawon avèk gwo malè yo akoz Saraï, madanm Abram nan.
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?
Epi Farawon te rele Abram. Li te di li: “Kisa ou fè m la a? Poukisa ou pa t di mwen ke li te madanm ou?
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.
Poukisa ou te di: Li se sè m, pou m te pran l kòm madanm mwen? Alò, men madanm ou, pran l ale.”
20 And Pharao gave charge to men concerning Abram, to join in sending him forward, and his wife, and all that he had.
Farawon te kòmande mesye pa l yo konsènan li, epi yo te akonpanye l ale, avèk madanm li, ak tout bagay ki te pou li yo.
