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.
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 of you a great nation. And I will bless you and make your name great. And you will be a blessing.
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 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."
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 So Abram left, as God had told him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.
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 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 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 passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time the Canaanites were in 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 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.
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 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.
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 traveled on, continuing toward the Negev.
Abram te vwayaje toujou vè Negev.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
Lè Ejipsyen yo wè ou, yo va di: ‘Sa se madanm li.’ Konsa, yo va touye mwen, men yo va kite ou viv.
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."
Souple, di ke se sè mwen ou ye, pou sa ale byen pou mwen, e pou mwen kapab viv akoz ou menm.”
14 It happened that when Abram had come into Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman 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 The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into the household of Pharaoh.
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 He dealt well with Abram for her sake, and he acquired sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, 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 But God plagued Pharaoh and his house with great and grievous plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife.
Men SENYÈ a te frape Farawon avèk gwo malè yo akoz Saraï, madanm Abram nan.
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?
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 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."
Poukisa ou te di: Li se sè m, pou m te pran l kòm madanm mwen? Alò, men madanm ou, pran l ale.”
20 Pharaoh commanded men concerning him, and they sent him away with his wife and all his possessions.
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.
