Genesis 12
1 And Yahweh said unto Abram: Come thou on thy way, Out of thy land and out of the place of thy birth and out of the house of thy father, —Unto the land that I will show thee;
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Abram niya, “Dar iwe pinyu gi jou kod joodu mondo idhi e piny ma abiro nyisi.
2 That I may make thee into a great nation, And bless thee and make great thy name, And become thou a blessing;
“Anaketi oganda maduongʼ kendo anagwedhi; anami nyingi bed gi huma, kendo anami ibed gweth ne ji.
3 That I may bless them who bless thee, But him who maketh light of thee, will I curse, —So shall be, blessed in thee, all the families of the ground.
Anagwedh jogo ma gwedhi kendo anakwongʼ jogo makwongʼi, kendo ogendini duto manie piny nogwedhi nikech in.”
4 And Abram came on his way, according to that which Yahweh had spoken unto him, and Lot came with him, —now, Abram, was seventy-five years old, when he came forth out of Haran.
Omiyo Abram nowuok kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosenyise kendo Lut nodhi kode. Abram ne ja-higni piero abiriyo gabich kane owuok Haran.
5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, with all the goods that they had gathered and the souls that they had gained in Haran, —and they came forth to go towards the land of Canaan, and came in to the land of Canaan.
Nokawo chiege Sarai, gi Lut wuod owadgi, gi mwandu duto mane gisechoko kod wasumbini duto mane gin-go Haran, kendo negichako wuoth mar dhi Kanaan mi negichopo kuno.
6 And Abram passed along throughout the land, as far as the place of Shechem as far as the Teacher’s Terebinth, the Canaanite being then in the land.
Abram nowuotho e piny mochopo Shekem e tiend yath maduongʼ mar More. E kindego jo-Kanaan nodak e pinyno.
7 And Yahweh appeared unto Abram, and said: To thy seed, will I give this land, —And he built there an altar, unto Yahweh who appeared unto him.
Jehova Nyasaye nofwenyore ne Abram mi owachone niya, “Anami kothi pinyni.” Omiyo Abram nogero kendo mar misango kanyo ne Jehova Nyasaye mane osefwenyorene.
8 And he moved on from thence towards the hill country, on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, —with Bethel on the west, and Ai on the east, and built there an altar to Yahweh, and called on the name of Yahweh.
Noa kanyo modhi e piny gode ma yo wuok chiengʼ mar Bethel kendo nogero hembe e kind Bethel man yo podho chiengʼ to gi Ai man yo wuok chiengʼ. Kanyo nogeroe kendo mar misango ne Jehova Nyasaye kendo nolamo Jehova Nyasaye kanyo.
9 Thus Abram brake up, again and again, towards the South.
Eka Abram nochako wuoth kendo odhi nyime giwuoth kochomo Negev.
10 And it came to pass that there was a famine, in the land, —so Abram went down towards Egypt, to sojourn there, because grievous, was the famine in the land.
Koro kech nomako pinyno kendo Abram nodhi Misri mondo odhi odag kuno kuom kinde matin nikech kech ne duongʼ.
11 And it came to pass when he had come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife: Behold! I beseech thee I know that a woman fair to look on, thou art:
Kane ochiegni donjo Misri, nowacho ne Sarai chiege niya, “Angʼeyo kaka in dhako ma jaber.
12 so will it come to pass when the Egyptians behold thee, that they will say, His wife, this! and will slay me while thee, they preserve alive.
Ka jo-Misri oneni, gibiro wacho, ‘Ma en chiege.’ Mi gininega to inires ngimani.
13 Say, I beseech thee that my sister, art thou, —to the end it may be well with me for thy sake, so shall my soul be preserved alive because of thee.
Wach ni in nyamera, mondo mi gitimna maber kendo ngimana obedie nikech in.”
14 And so it was when Abram entered into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman, that fair, was she exceedingly.
Kane Abram ochopo Misri, jo-Misri noneno Sarai kaka ne en dhako ma jaber miwuoro.
15 And the princes of Pharaoh beheld her, and praised her unto Pharaoh, —so the woman was taken to the house of Pharaoh;
Kendo kane jodong Farao oneno Sarai, negiwuoro berne ne Farao kendo nokawe motere kar dak ruoth.
16 and with Abram, dealt he well for her sake, —so that he came to have flocks and herds and he-asses, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and she-asses and camels.
Farao nomiyo Abram rit maber nikech Sarai, kendo nomiyo Abram rombe, dhok, pundane machwo gi mamon, wasumbini machwo gi mamon kod ngamia.
17 And Yahweh plagued Pharaoh with great plagues, also his house, —for the matter of Sarai, wife of Abram.
To Jehova Nyasaye nosando Farao gi joode gi tuoche madongo nikech Sarai chi Abram.
18 And Pharaoh called out to Abram, and said, What is this thou hast done to me? Wherefore didst thou not tell me, that she was, thy wife?
Omiyo Farao noluongo Abram kendo nopenje niya, “Angʼo ma isetimonani? Ere gima omiyo ne ok inyisa ni Sarai en chiegi?
19 Wherefore saidst thou My sister, she; and so I was about to take her to me, to wife? But now, lo! thy wife take her and go thy way.
Mara angʼo ne iwuonda ni Sarai en nyameru momiyo akawe mondo obed chiega? Chiegi eri, kawe mondo udhi.”
20 And Pharaoh gave command concerning him unto certain men, —and sent him away, with his wife and all that he had.
Eka Farao nogolo chik ne joge mondo ogol Abram, chiege gi gige duto kendo gikowogi oko mar pinyno.
