Genesis 12
1 Now God had said to Abram, "Go out from your country, and from your relatives, and from your father's house, to the land that I will show you.
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 you a great nation. And I will bless you and make your name great. And you will 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 those who bless you, and I will curse those who treat you with contempt, and through you all the families of the earth will 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 left, as God had told him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from 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 Abram took Sarai his wife, Lot his brother's son, and all their possessions that they had accumulated, and the people whom they had acquired in Haran, and they left to go to the land of Canaan. And they came to the land of Canaan,
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 to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time the Canaanites were 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 Then God appeared to Abram and said to him, "I will give this land to your offspring." He built an altar there to God, who appeared to 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 He left from there to the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Ai on the east. There he built an altar and called on the name of God.
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 traveled on, continuing toward the Negev.
Sima, Abrami alongwaki wana mpe akendeki malembe-malembe kino na Negevi.
10 There was a famine in the land, so Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there, because the famine was severe 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 It happened, when he had come near to enter Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, "Look, I know what a beautiful woman you are.
Tango akomaki pene ya kokota na Ejipito, alobaki na mwasi na ye Sarayi: « Nayebi ete ozali mwasi kitoko penza.
12 It will happen, when the Egyptians will see you, that they will say, 'This is his wife.' And they will kill me, but they will let you live.
Tango bato ya Ejipito bakomona yo, bakoloba: ‹ Azali mwasi na ye. › Boye, bakoboma ngai mpe bakotika yo na bomoi.
13 Please say that you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that I may live because of you."
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 It happened that when Abram had come into Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.
Tango Abrami akomaki na Ejipito, bato ya Ejipito bamonaki ete Sarayi azalaki mwasi kitoko penza.
15 The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into the household of Pharaoh.
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 He dealt well with Abram for her sake, and he acquired sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, 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 But God plagued Pharaoh and his house with great and grievous 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 Pharaoh summoned Abram and said, "What is this that you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your 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 did you say, 'She is my sister,' so that I took her to be my wife? Now therefore, look, your wife is before you. Take, and go."
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 Pharaoh commanded men concerning him, and they sent him away with his wife and all his possessions.
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.
