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;
Na ka mea atu a Ihowa ki a Aperama, Haere atu i tou whenua, i roto i ou whanaunga, i te whare ano hoki o tou papa, ki te whenua e whakaaturia e ahau ki a koe:
2 That I may make thee into a great nation, And bless thee and make great thy name, And become thou a blessing;
A ka meinga koe e ahau hei iwi nui, ka manaakitia ano koe e ahau, ka whakanuia ano hoki tou ingoa; a ka waiho koe hei manaakitanga:
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.
A ka manaaki ahau i te hunga e manaaki ana i a koe, ka kanga hoki i te tangata e kanga ano i a koe: a mau ka manaakitia ai nga hapu katoa o te whenua.
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.
Na haere ana a Aperama, pera ana me ta Ihowa i korero ai ki a ia; i haere tahi ano a Rota i a ia; a e whitu tekau ma rima nga tau o Aperama i tona hekenga mai i Harana.
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.
Na ka tango a Aperama i a Harai, i tana wahine raua ko Rota tama a tona teina, i o ratou rawa katoa i whakaemi ai, i nga mea ora katoa i whiwhi ai ratou ki Harana; a whakatika ana ratou, haere ana ki te whenua o Kanaana; na, ka tae ratou ki te wh enua o Kanaana.
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.
Na ka tika a Aperama na waenganui o te whenua ki te wahi o Hekeme, ki te oki i More. I taua whenua ano te Kanaani i taua wa.
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.
Na ka puta a Ihowa ki a Aperama, ka mea, Ka hoatu e ahau tenei whenua ki tou uri. Na ka hanga e ia tetahi aata ki reira ma Ihowa i puta mai nei ki a ia.
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.
Na ka neke atu ia i reira ki te maunga i te rawhiti o Peteere, a ka whakatu i tona teneti; ko Peteere ki te hauauru, ko Hai ki te rawhiti: i hanga ano e ia tetahi aata ma Ihowa ki reira, a karanga ana ki te ingoa o Ihowa.
9 Thus Abram brake up, again and again, towards the South.
Na ka turia atu e Aperama, me te neke haere whaka te tonga.
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.
A he matekai to te whenua: a ka haere a Aperama ki raro, ki Ihipa, ki reira noho ai; he nui hoki te matekai o te whenua.
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:
A, i a ia ka tata te tae ki Ihipa, ka mea ia ki a Harai, ki tana wahine, Nana, e mohio ana ahau he wahine ataahua koe ki te titiro atu;
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.
Na, akuanei, kei te kitenga o nga Ihipiana i a koe, ka mea ratou, Ko tana wahine tenei: a ka patua ahau e ratou, ka whakaora hoki i a koe.
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.
Me ki koe, ne, he tuahine koe noku? kia whiwhi ai ahau ki te pai i a koe; a kia ora ai toku wairua i a koe.
14 And so it was when Abram entered into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman, that fair, was she exceedingly.
A, i te taenga o Aperama ki Ihipa, ka titiro nga Ihipiana ki te wahine, he tino ataahua.
15 And the princes of Pharaoh beheld her, and praised her unto Pharaoh, —so the woman was taken to the house of Pharaoh;
Ka kite hoki nga rangatira a Parao i a ia, ka korero whakamihi mona ki a Parao: a ka kawea te wahine ra ki te whare o Parao.
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.
Na ka atawhai ia i a Aperama, he mea hoki mo te wahine: a ka riro i ia he hipi, he kau, he kaihe toa, he pononga tane, he pononga wahine, he kaihe uha, he kamera.
17 And Yahweh plagued Pharaoh with great plagues, also his house, —for the matter of Sarai, wife of Abram.
Na ka whiua e Ihowa a Parao ratou ko tona whare, he nui nga pakinga, mo Harai wahine a Aperama.
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?
Na ka karanga a Parao ki a Aperama, ka mea, He aha tenei mahi au ki ahau? he aha koe te korero mai ai ki ahau ko tau wahine ia?
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.
Na te aha koe i mea ai, Ko taku tuahine ia? i tango ai ahau i a ia hei wahine maku: na, tau wahine, tangohia, haere.
20 And Pharaoh gave command concerning him unto certain men, —and sent him away, with his wife and all that he had.
Na ka whakatupato a Parao ki nga tangata, kei aha atu ki a ia: a tukua atu ana ia e ratou, me tana wahine, me ana mea katoa.
