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.
Leleꞌ naa, LAMATUALAIN olaꞌ no Abram nae, “Abram! Lao hela bobꞌonggi ma, ama ma ume na, ma kambo ma. Misiꞌ mamanaꞌ esa, dei fo Au utudꞌu neu nggo.
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.
Dei fo Au fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ neu nggo. Tititi-nonosi mara, boe ramaheta, dadꞌi leo manaseliꞌ losa atahori ra rahine nara ma. Ma ho dadꞌi papala-babꞌanggiꞌ soaꞌ neu atahori feaꞌ.
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).”
Dei fo Au fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ neu atahori mana fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ neu nggo. Te Au huku-doki atahori mana fee huku-dokiꞌ neu nggo. Rena malolole! Dei fo basa leo sia raefafoꞌ hambu papala-babꞌanggiꞌ laoꞌ mia nggo.”
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.
Abram too hitu nulu lima ma, ana no sao na Sarai, ma odꞌi na anan Lot, ma basa hata-heto na, no basa atahori mana ue-tao nara fo ana hambu mia kambo Haran. Basa ma, ara lao hela Haran, de risiꞌ mamanaꞌ fo LAMATUALAIN nafadꞌe neu e. Ara laoꞌ rakandoo, losa mamanaꞌ esa, naran Kanaꞌan.
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.
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.
Losa naa, Abram lao rereoꞌ rae naa, losa deka no kamboꞌ esa, naran Sikem. De ara leo raꞌatataaꞌ deka no hau huu ineꞌ esa sia More. Leleꞌ naa, atahori Kanaꞌan ra feꞌe leo sia naa.
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.
LAMATUALAIN natudꞌu Aon neu Abram sia naa. Ana nae, “Au fee nusaꞌ ia neu tititi-nonosi ma.” Basa ma Abram lutu mbatu mei tutunu-hohotuꞌ soaꞌ neu LAMATUALAIN, mana natudꞌu Aon sia naa.
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.
Basa ma, Abram se lali risiꞌ leteꞌ sia ona, de leo raꞌatataaꞌ sia kambo Betel no kambo Ai taladꞌa nara. Ana o lutu mbatu mei tutunu-hohotuꞌ esa, de beꞌutee neu LAMATUALAIN sia naa.
9 Then they left there and started traveling south to the Negev [Desert].
Basa naa ma, ana lali-laliꞌ mamanaꞌ, losa rae Negeb sia Kanaꞌan seriꞌ ona.
10 There was (a famine/very little food to eat) in Canaan, so they went south to live in Egypt for a while.
Faiꞌ sa boe, ndoe-laꞌas manaseliꞌ mia rae Kanaꞌan. Naa de Abram se lao rakandoo risiꞌ seriꞌ ona, losa nusa Masir. Ara leo raꞌatataaꞌ sia naa.
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.
Ara rae risiꞌ nusa Masir rala reu ma, nafadꞌe sao na Sarai nae, “Sarai. Ho ia, meulau ma seli.
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.
Te mete ma atahori Masir ra rita ho meulau ma ia, ara tao risa au, huu au ia, ho sao ma. No taꞌo naa, ara sao rala nggo.
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).”
De malole lenaꞌ, mufadꞌe se mae, au ia, ho aꞌa ma. Naa fo, ara nda tati-mbau risa au sa, te ara maloleꞌ ro au, huu ho.”
14 And as soon as they arrived in Egypt, the people in Egypt saw that his wife was indeed very beautiful.
De Abram se losa Masir ma, atahori ra rita inaꞌ a meulau na seli.
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.
Pagau mane Masir ra rita e ma, ara koa inaꞌ meulau na mia maneꞌ a mata na. Basa ma, ara rendi e nisiꞌ maneꞌ a ume na.
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.
De maneꞌ a malolole no Abram, huu Sarai. Ana fee mudꞌaꞌ Abram bibꞌi lombo, hiek, sapi, keledei, no banda onta. Ana o fee ate touꞌ ma inaꞌ boe.
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.
Te huu maneꞌ a haꞌi nala atahori sao na nisiꞌ ume na, naa de LAMATUALAIN huku-doki mataꞌ-mataꞌ neu e no atahori nara.
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?
Dei de maneꞌ a noꞌe Abram ma natane nae, “Abram! Ho tao au taꞌo bee ia? Saa de nda mufadꞌe mae, inaꞌ ia, sao ma sa!?
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!”
Te mae odꞌi ma! Helaꞌ a mbei na, au sao ala e! Sie, haꞌi mendi e! Dinggoꞌ hela mata ngga!”
20 Then the king told his officials/servants to take Abram and his wife and all his possessions out of Egypt.
Basa ma maneꞌ a parenda pagau nara, fo oi hendi Abram, no sao na, ma sudꞌiꞌ a saa nara mia nusaꞌ naa.
