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.
BAWIPA ni Abram koevah, Na ram, na imthung hoi na pa im cettakhai nateh kai ni na patue e ram koe lah cet leih.
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.
Kai ni miphun kalen lah na sak vaiteh, yawhawinae na poe han. Na min kamsawng sak vaiteh yawhawinae ka coe e tami lah na o han.
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."
Nang yawhawinae ka poe e tami teh yawkahawi sak vaiteh, thoe na ka bo e tami teh thoe ka bo van han. Nang lahoi tami pueng ni yawhawinae a coe awh han telah atipouh.
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.
BAWIPA ni a dei pouh e patetlah Abram ni a kamthaw teh, Lot hai a kâbang van. Haran kho hoi a tâco navah Abram teh kum 75 touh a pha.
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,
Abraham ni a yu Sarai, a hmau e capa Lot hoi hnopai pueng thoseh, Haran kho dawk a hmu e taminaw hai thoseh, a ceikhai teh Kanaan ram pha hanelah a tâco. Hottelah hoi Kanaan ram a pha.
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 ni hote ram dawk yuengyoe a kâhlai teh, Shekhem hmuen Moreh e kathen kung koe a pha. Han navah Kanaan taminaw hote ram dawk yo la o awh toe.
7 Then God appeared to Abram and said to him, "I will give this land to your offspring." He built an altar there God, who appeared to him.
BAWIPA teh Abram koe a kamnue teh hote ram teh na ca catounnaw na poe han atipouh. Hote ka kamnuek e BAWIPA hanelah khoungroe a sak pouh.
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.
Hote hmuen koehoi Bethel kho Kanîtholae mon dawk a kampuen teh kanîloumlah Bethel hoi kanîtholah Ai kho rahak rim a sak. Hote hmuen koe BAWIPA hanelah khoungroe a sak teh BAWIPA e min a kaw.
9 And Abram traveled on, continuing toward the Negev.
Hottelah Abram teh akalah kampuen hanlah a cei teh, Negev totouh a pha.
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.
Hathnukkhu Kanaan ram takang a tho dawkvah, Abram teh Izip ram lah a cei. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ram thung puenghoi takang a tho dawk doeh.
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.
Izip ram a pha tawmlei navah a yu Sarai koe nang teh meikahawi e napui lah na o tie ka panue.
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.
Hatdawkvah, Izip taminaw ni nang na hmu awh navah, hete napui teh a yu doeh tet awh vaiteh kai na thei awh han, hatei nang teh na hlout sak awh han.
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."
Hatdawkvah, a tawncanu doeh na ti pouh han. Hottelah na dei pouh pawiteh nang dawk hoi kai hawinae ka hmu vaiteh ka hringnae hai a hlout han telah atipouh.
14 It happened that when Abram had come into Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.
Abram teh Izip ram a kâen navah Izip taminaw ni a yu a hmu navah a meihawi ati awh.
15 The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into the household of Pharaoh.
Faro e ukkungnaw ni a hmu navah, Faro hanelah a oup awh teh Faro im vah a ceikhai awh.
16 He dealt well with Abram for her sake, and he acquired sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.
Faro siangpahrang ni napui kecu dawk Abram teh a khetyawt. Tu, Maito, La apui atan, sannu sanpa hoi kalauknaw a poe.
17 But God plagued Pharaoh and his house with great and grievous plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife.
Hatei BAWIPA ni Abram e yu Sarai kecu dawk Faro hoi a imthungnaw pueng hoi runae a poe.
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?
Faro ni Abram a kaw teh, kai dawk na sak e hno Bangtelamaw, bangkongmaw na yu nahlangva, na dei hoeh vaw.
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."
Bangkongmaw ka tawncanu na ti teh yu lah na la sak. Hatdawkvah, na yu heh atu hrawi nateh cet leih telah atipouh.
20 Pharaoh commanded men concerning him, and they sent him away with his wife and all his possessions.
Hottelah Faro ni a taminaw kâ a poe teh a yu hoi a tawn e naw pueng hoi a cei sak.
