Genesis 12
1 And he said Yahweh to Abram go for yourself from land your and from kindred your and from [the] household of father your to the land which I will show you.
Tsiku lina Yehova anamuwuza Abramu kuti, “Tuluka mʼdziko lako. Siya abale ako ndi banja la abambo ako ndipo pita ku dziko limene ndidzakusonyeza.
2 So I may make you into a nation great and I will bless you and I will make great name your and you be a blessing.
“Ndidzakusandutsa kholo la mtundu waukulu wa anthu ndipo ndidzakudalitsa; ndi kukusandutsa wotchuka kotero kuti udzakhala dalitso kwa anthu ambiri.
3 So let me bless [those who] bless you and [one who] disdains you I will curse and they will be blessed by you all [the] clans of the earth.
Ndidzadalitsa amene adzadalitsa iwe, ndi kutemberera amene adzatemberera iwe; ndipo mafuko onse a pa dziko lapansi adzadalitsika kudzera mwa iwe.”
4 And he went Abram just as he had said to him Yahweh and he went with him Lot and Abram [was] a son of five years and seventy year[s] when came out he from Haran.
Choncho Abramu ananyamuka monga momwe Yehova anamuwuzira, napita pamodzi ndi Loti. Pamene Abramu amachoka ku Harani nʼkuti ali ndi zaka 75.
5 And he took Abram Sarai wife his and Lot [the] son of brother his and all possession[s] their which they had accumulated and the person[s] whom they had acquired in Haran and they went out to go [the] land of towards Canaan and they came [the] land of towards Canaan.
Abramu anatenga mkazi wake Sarai, Loti, mwana wamngʼono wake, pamodzi ndi chuma chawo chimene anapeza ndi antchito amene anali nawo ku Harani. Iwo ananyamuka ulendo mpaka kukafika ku dziko la Kanaani.
6 And he passed Abram in the land to [the] place of Shechem to [the] great tree of Moreh and the Canaanite[s] then [was] in the land.
Abramu anadutsa mʼdzikomo mpaka kukafika ku Sekemu pa mtengo wa thundu wa ku More. Nthawi imeneyo Akanaani analipobe mʼdzikomo.
7 And he appeared Yahweh to Abram and he said to offspring your I will give the land this and he built there an altar to Yahweh who had appeared to him.
Yehova anadza kwa Abramu nati, “Kwa zidzukulu zako ndidzapereka dziko limeneli.” Choncho Abramu anamangira Yehova amene anadza kwa iye, guwa lansembe.
8 And he moved on from there the hill country towards from [the] east of Beth-el and he pitched (tent his *Q(K)*) Beth-el [was] from [the] west and Ai [was] from [the] east and he built there an altar to Yahweh and he called on [the] name of Yahweh.
Atachoka pamenepo analowera cha ku mapiri a kummawa kwa Beteli namangako tenti yake pakati pa Beteli chakumadzulo ndi Ai chakummawa. Kumeneko anamangira Yehova guwa lansembe napemphera mʼdzina la Yehovayo.
9 And he journeyed Abram going and journeying the south towards.
Kenaka Abramu ananyamuka kumalowera cha ku Negevi.
10 And it was a famine in the land and he went down Abram Egypt towards to sojourn there for [was] heavy the famine in the land.
Kunagwa njala yayikulu mʼdzikomo, ndipo Abramu anapita ku Igupto kukakhala ngati mlendo kwa kanthawi kochepa popeza njalayo inakula kwambiri.
11 And it was just as he drew near to enter Egypt and he said to Sarai wife his here! please I know that [are] a woman beautiful of appearance you.
Atatsala pangʼono kulowa mu Igupto, Abramu anamuwuza mkazi wake Sarai kuti, “Ndimadziwa kuti ndiwe mkazi wokongola kwambiri.
12 And it will be that they will see you the Egyptians and they will say [is] wife his this and they will kill me and you they will let live.
Tsono Aigupto akakuona adzanena kuti ‘Ameneyu ndi mkazi wake.’ Tsono adzandipha ine nakusiya iwe ndi moyo.
13 Say please [are] sister my you so that it may go well for me for sake of you and it will live life my on account of you.
Tsono udzikawawuza kuti iwe ndiwe mlongo wanga. Ukatero zidzandiyendera bwino ndipo ndidzapulumuka chifukwa cha iwe.”
14 And it was when entered Abram Egypt and they saw the Egyptians the woman that [was] beautiful she very.
Pamene Abramu anafika ku Igupto, Aigupto aja anaona kuti Sarai anali mkazi wokongoladi.
15 And they saw her [the] officials of Pharaoh and they praised her to Pharaoh and she was taken the woman [the] house of Pharaoh.
Pamene akuluakulu a ku nyumba ya Farao anamuona, anakamuyamikira pamaso pa Farao ndipo ananka naye ku nyumba ya Farao.
16 And to Abram he did good for sake of her and it be[longed] to him sheep and cattle and [male] donkeys and [male] servants and female servants and female donkeys and camels.
Abramu naye zinthu zinkamuyendera bwino chifukwa cha Sarai. Farao anamupatsa nkhosa, ngʼombe, abulu aamuna ndi abulu aakazi, antchito aakazi pamodzi ndi ngamira.
17 And he struck Yahweh - Pharaoh plagues great and house his on [the] matter of Sarai [the] wife of Abram.
Koma Yehova anabweretsa matenda owopsa pa Farao pamodzi ndi banja lake lonse chifukwa cha Sarai mkazi wa Abramu.
18 And he summoned Pharaoh Abram and he said what? this have you done to me why? not did you tell to me that [was] wife your she.
Choncho Farao anayitanitsa Abramu namufunsa kuti, “Nʼchiyani wandichitirachi? Nʼchifukwa chiyani sunandiwuze kuti ameneyu ndi mkazi wako?
19 Why? did you say [is] sister my she and I took her for myself to a wife and now here! wife your take [her] and go.
Nʼchifukwa chiyani unati ndi mlongo wako, mpaka ine ndinamutenga kukhala mkazi wanga? Eko mkazi wako. Mutenge uzipita!”
20 And he commanded on him Pharaoh men and they sent away him and wife his and all that [belonged] to him.
Farao analamula asilikali ake ndipo iwo anamutulutsa Abramu pamodzi ndi mkazi wake ndi zonse anali nazo.
