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.
BOEIPA loh Abram taengah, “Nang te na khohmuen taeng lamloh, na pacaboeina taeng lamloh, na pa im lamloh cet laeh. Te khohmuen te nang kan tueng bitni.
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.
Tedae nang te pilnu la kan saii vetih nang yoethen kan paek ni. Na ming ka rhoeng sak vetih yoethennah om ni.
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."
Te phoeiah nang yoe aka then sak rhoek te a yoe ka then sak vetih nang aka kosinah te khaw thae ka phoei ni. Nang kong ah diklai huiko boeih a yoethen uh ni,” a ti nah.
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.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh anih taengah a thui bangla Abram a caeh hatah Lot khaw anih taengah cet van. Tedae Abram Haran lamkah a caeh vaengah kum sawmrhih neh kum nga lo ca coeng.
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,
Abram loh a yuu Sarai te khaw, a maya capa Lot te khaw, khuehtawn a dang uh boeih te khaw, Haran ah a dang hinglu te khaw a khuen. Te phoeiah Kanaan khohmuen la caeh ham hlah uh tih Kanaan khohmuen te a paan uh.
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.
Te dongah Abram te khohmuen kah Shekhem hmuen Moreh thingnu due a pha. Tedae te vaengah Kanaan te khohmuen ah ana om uh coeng.
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.
Tedae Abram taengah BOEIPA a phoe pah tih, “Hekah khohmuen he na tiingan taengah ka paek ni,” a ti nah. Te dongah amah taengah aka phoe BOEIPA ham hmueihtuk pahoi a suem pah.
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.
Te phoeiah te lamkah khothoeng tlang Bethel la puen uh tih tuitunli benkah Bethel neh Ai khothoeng laklo ah amah kah dap a tuk. Te phoeiah BOEIPA ham hmueihtuk a suem tih BOEIPA ming te a phoei.
9 And Abram traveled on, continuing toward the Negev.
Te phoeiah Abram te aka puen uh ham cet tih Negev la puen uh.
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.
Tedae khohmuen ah khokha a om dongah Abram te Egypt la cet. Te la a bakuep akhaw khohmuen ah khokha te a nah dongah ni.
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.
Tedae Egypt la kun ham a yoei vaengah a yuu Sarai taengah, “Na mueimae sakthen nu tila ka ming coeng ne.
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.
Te dongah Egypt rhoek loh nang te m'hmuh uh vaengah, 'Anih yuu ni he,’ a ti uh ni. Te vaengah kai n'ngawn uh vetih nang te n'hing sak uh ni he.
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."
Namah te kai ngannu la thui mai. Te daengah ni nang kong neh kai ham khaw thuem vetih nang kong ah ka hinglu khaw a hing eh?,” a ti nah.
14 It happened that when Abram had come into Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.
Abram Egypt la kun tih Egypt loh a hmuh uh vaengah a yuu te a sakthen tangkik.
15 The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into the household of Pharaoh.
Pharaoh kah mangpa rhoek loh anih te a hmuh uh vaengah Pharaoh ham anih te a thangthen uh. Te dongah huta te Pharaoh im la a khuen uh.
16 He dealt well with Abram for her sake, and he acquired sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.
Anih rhang neh Abram ham khaw then tih tu khaw saelhung khaw, laak khaw, salpa khaw, salnu khaw, laak tal khaw, kalauk khaw Abram taengla boeih kun.
17 But God plagued Pharaoh and his house with great and grievous plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife.
Tedae Abram yuu Sarai kah dumlai kongah Pharaoh neh anih imkhui te BOEIPA loh a nah la lucik neh a vuek.
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?
Te dongah Pharaoh loh Abram te a khue tih, “Hekah he ba ham lae kai taengah na saii. Balae tih anih he namah yuu tila kai taengah na puen pawh?
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."
Balae tih, anih he ka ngannu na ti. Te dongah ni anih he ka yuu la kamah taengah ka loh. Tedae na yuu he lo lamtah cet laeh,” a ti nah.
20 Pharaoh commanded men concerning him, and they sent him away with his wife and all his possessions.
Te dongah anih ham Pharaoh loh a hlang rhoek te a uen tih, Abram khaw, a yuu khaw, a taengkah aka om boeih te khaw a tueih uh.
