Genesis 12
1 Then Yahweh said to Abram, “Leave this country where you are now living. Leave your father’s clan and his family. Go to a land that I will show you.
I OLELO mai o Iehova ia Aberama, E hele aku oe mai kou aina aku, a mai kou poe hoahanau aku, a mai ka hale o kou makuakane aku, a hiki i ka aina a'u e kuhikuhi aku ai ia oe.
2 I will cause your descendants to become a large nation. I will bless you and cause you to become (famous/highly esteemed). What I do for you will be a blessing to others.
A e hoolilo au ia oe i lahuikanaka nui, e hoomaikai aku hoi au ia oe, e hookaulana hoi au i kou inoa, a e lilo oe i mea e pomaikai ai.
3 I will bless those who (bless/ask God to do good things for) you, and I will (curse/ask God to punish) those who do evil things to you. And because of what you do, groups of people all over the earth will receive blessings (OR, people will wish that God will bless others as much as he has blessed you).”
E hoopomaikai aku hoi au i ka poe hoomaikai ia oe, a e hoino aku au i ka mea hoino ia oe, a ia oe e pomaikai ai na ohana a pau o ka honua.
4 So Abram left Haran [town], as Yahweh told him to do. Abram was 75 years old when he left there along with his wife, Sarai, and his nephew, Lot.
Hele aku la o Aberama e like me ka Iehova i olelo mai ai ia ia; a hele pu o Lota me ia. He kanahiku kumamalima na makahiki o Aberama, i kona wa i hele mai ai mai Harana mai.
5 Abram also took along all the possessions and slaves that they had accumulated/acquired in Haran [town], and they left there and went to Canaan land.
Lawe ae la o Aberama i kana wahine ia Sarai, a me Lota ke keiki a kona kaikuaana, a me ka waiwai a pau a lakou i hoiliili ai, a me na ohua a pau i loaa ia lakou ma Harana; a puka mai la lakou e hele mai i ka aina o Kanaana; a hiki mai la lakou i ka aina o Kanaana.
6 In Canaan they traveled as far as Shechem [town] and camped by a huge tree called the tree of Moreh. The Canaan people-group were still living in that land.
Kaahele ae la o Aberama i ka aina, a hiki aku la i kahi o Sikema, i ka laau oka o More. E noho ana no na mamo a Kanaana ma ia aina ia manawa.
7 Then Yahweh appeared to Abram and said to him, “I will give this land to your descendants.” Then Abram built a stone altar to offer a sacrifice to Yahweh because Yahweh had appeared to him.
Ikea ae la o Iehova e Aberama, i mai la ia, E haawi aku no wau i keia aina no kau poe mamo: malaila oia i hana'i i kuahu no Iehova, ka mea i ikea e ia.
8 From Shechem, Abram and his family traveled to the hills that were east of Bethel [town]. Bethel [town] was to the west of where they set up their tent, and Ai [town] was further to the east. There he built another stone altar and offered a sacrifice and worshiped Yahweh there.
Hele aku la ia mai ia wahi aku a ka puu ma ka hikina o Betela, a kukulu iho la i kona halelewa, o Betela ma ke komohana, a o Hai ma ka hikina: malaila oia i hana'i i kuahu no Iehova, a hea aku la ia i ka inoa o Iehova.
9 Then they left there and started traveling south to the Negev [Desert].
Hele hou aku la o Aberama e neenee ana i ke kukuluhema.
10 There was (a famine/very little food to eat) in Canaan, so they went south to live in Egypt for a while.
He wi ma ia aina; a hele aku la o Aberama ilalo i Aigupita e noho malihini malaila, no ka mea, ua nui loa ka wi ma ka aina.
11 Just as they were about to enter Egypt, Abram said to his wife Sarai, “Listen, I know that you are a very beautiful woman.
A kokoke aku la ia e komo i Aigupita, i aku la ia i kana wahine ia Sarai, Eia hoi ke ike nei au he wahine maikai oe ke nanaia'ku:
12 When the people in Egypt see you, they will say, ‘This woman is his wife!’ and they will kill me in order to get you, but they will not kill you.
Nolaila, a ike mai ko Aigupita ia oe, e olelo auanei lakou, Eia kana wahine; a e pepehi mai lakou ia'u, a e hoola ae lakou ia oe.
13 So I ask you to tell them that you are my sister, so that because of you telling them that, they will (spare my life/not kill me).”
Ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, e i aku oe, he kaikuwahine oe no'u, i pomaikai ai au ia oe, a e malamaia kuu ola nou.
14 And as soon as they arrived in Egypt, the people in Egypt saw that his wife was indeed very beautiful.
A hiki aku la o Aberama i Aigupita, ike mai la ko Aigupita i ka wahine he maikai loa.
15 When the king’s officials saw her, they told the king how beautiful she was. And they took her to the king’s palace.
A ike mai la na luna a Parao ia ia, hoomaikai lakou ia ia imua o Parao, a ua laweia aku la ua wahine la ma ka hale o Parao.
16 The king treated Abram kindly because of Sarai, and he gave Abram many sheep and cattle and donkeys and male and female slaves and camels.
Lokomaikai mai la oia ia Aberama no Sarai: a ia ia na hipa, na bipi, na hoki, na kauwakane, na kauwawahine, na hokiwahine, a me na kamelo.
17 But because the king had taken Sarai, Abram’s wife, Yahweh caused the king and the others in his household to be inflicted with terrible diseases.
Hooeha mai la o Iehova ia Parao a me kona poe ohua i na mai eha loa, no Sarai ka wahine a Aberama.
18 When the king realized why that was happening, he summoned Abram and said to him, “Why did you do this to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife?
Kahea mai la o Parao ia Aberama, i mai la, Heaha keia mea au i hana mai ai ia'u? No ke aha la i hai ole mai oe ia'u o kau wahine ia?
19 Why did you lie, saying she is your sister, with the result that I took her to be my wife? You should not have done that! So now take your wife, leave here and go!”
No ke aha la oe i olelo mai ai, O ko'u kaikuwahine ia, i mea e lawe ai au ia ia i wahine na'u? Eia hoi kau wahine, e lawe oe ia ia, a e hele aku.
20 Then the king told his officials/servants to take Abram and his wife and all his possessions out of Egypt.
Kauoha aku la o Parao i kona poe kanaka nona, a hoihoi mai la lakou ia ia, me kana wahine, a me kana mau mea a pau.
