Genesis 12
1 Now the LORD said to Abram, “Leave your country, and your relatives, and your father’s house, and go to the land that I will show you.
परमप्रभुले अब्रामलाई भन्नुभयो, “तेरो देश, तेरा नातेदारहरू र तेरो पिताको घरानाबाट मैले तँलाई देखाउने मुलुकतिर जा ।
2 I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing.
म तँलाई ठुलो जाति बनाउनेछु, म तँलाई आशिष् दिनेछु, तेरो नाउँ महान् हुनेछ र तँ आशिष् हुनेछस् ।
3 I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who treats you with contempt. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you.”
तँलाई आशिष् दिनेलाई म आशिष् दिनेछु, तर तँलाई अनादर गर्नेलाई म सराप दिनेछु । तँद्वारा नै पृथ्वीका सबै परिवारहरूले आशिष् पाउनेछन् ।
4 So Abram went, as the LORD had told him. Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.
यसैले परमप्रभुले भन्नुभएबमोजिम अब्राम गए र लोत पनि तिनीसँगै गए । हारान छोडेर जाँदा अब्राम पचहत्तर वर्षका थिए ।
5 Abram took Sarai his wife, Lot his brother’s son, all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people whom they had acquired in Haran, and they went to go into the land of Canaan. They entered into the land of Canaan.
अब्रामले तिनकी पत्नी साराई, तिनका भतिजा लोत, तिनीहरूले हारानमा जम्मा गरेका सम्पत्ति र प्राप्त गरेका मानिसहरू सबै लगे । तिनीहरू कनानको भूमिमा जानलाई हिँडे र कनानको भूमिमा आइपुगे ।
6 Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time, Canaanites were in the land.
अब्राम त्यो भूमि हुँदै शकेममा भएको मोरेको फलाँटको रुखसम्म गए । त्यस बेला त्यो भूमिमा कनानीहरू बस्थे ।
7 The LORD appeared to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your offspring.” He built an altar there to the LORD, who had appeared to him.
परमप्रभु अब्रामकहाँ देखा पर्नुभयो र भन्नुभयो, “यो भूमि म तेरा सन्तानहरूलाई दिनेछु ।” यसैले अब्रामले तिनीकहाँ देखा पर्नुहुने परमप्रभुको निम्ति एउटा वेदी बनाए ।
8 He left from there to go to the mountain on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to the LORD and called on the LORD’s name.
त्यहाँबाट तिनी बेथेलको पूर्वतिरको देशतिर गए, जहाँ तिनले बेथेललाई पश्चिमतिर र ऐलाई पूर्वतिर पारेर तिनको पाल टाँगे । त्यहाँ तिनले एउटा वेदी बनाए र परमप्रभुको नाउँको पुकारा गरे ।
9 Abram travelled, still going on towards the South.
अनि अब्राम यात्रा गर्दै नेगेवतिर गए ।
10 There was a famine in the land. Abram went down into Egypt to live as a foreigner there, for the famine was severe in the land.
त्यो भूमिमा अनिकाल लागेको थियो, यसैले अब्राम बस्नलाई मिश्रतिर झरे (गए), किनकि त्यो भूमिमा निकै अनिकाल लागेको थियो ।
11 When he had come near to enter Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, “See now, I know that you are a beautiful woman to look at.
तिनी मिश्र प्रवेश गर्न लाग्दा, तिनले आफ्नी पत्नी साराईलाई भने, “हेर, तिमी कति सुन्दरी स्त्री छौ भनी म जान्दछु ।
12 It will happen that when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ They will kill me, but they will save you alive.
मिश्रीहरूले तिमीलाई देख्दा 'यो यसकी पत्नी हो' भन्ने छन् र तिनीहरूले मलाई मार्ने छन्, तर तिनीहरूले तिमीलाईचाहिँ जीवितै राख्नेछन् ।
13 Please say that you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that my soul may live because of you.”
यसैले तिमी मेरी बहिनी हौ भनी तिमीले भन, ताकि तिम्रो खातिर मेरो भलो होस् र तिम्रो खातिर मेरो जीवन बाँचोस् ।
14 When Abram had come into Egypt, some Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.
मिश्र प्रवेश गर्न लग्दा साराई अति सुन्दरी थिइन् भनी मिश्रीहरूले देखे ।
15 The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.
फारोका अधिकारीहरूले तिनलाई देखे र फारोको सामु तिनको प्रशंसा गरे र ती स्त्रीलाई फारोको घरानामा लगियो ।
16 He dealt well with Abram for her sake. He had sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.
फारोले तिनको खातिर अब्रामलाई राम्रो व्यवहार गरे र तिनलाई गोरु, गधाहरू, नोकरीहरू, गधैनीहरू र ऊँटहरू दिए ।
17 The LORD afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.
अनि परमप्रभुले अब्रामकी पत्नी साराईको कारण फारो र तिनको परिवारमाथि ठुलो विपत्ति ल्याउनुभयो ।
18 Pharaoh called Abram and said, “What is this that you have done to me? Why didn’t you tell me that she was your wife?
फारोले अब्रामलाई बोलाए र भने, “तिमीले मलाई यो के गरेको? तिनी तिम्रो पत्नी थिइन् भनी मलाई किन बताएनौ?
19 Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her to be my wife? Now therefore, see your wife, take her, and go your way.”
'तिनी मेरी बहिनी हुन्' भनी तिमीले किन मलाई भन्यौ? त्यसैले मैले तिनलाई मेरी पत्नी बनाउन मैले लगेँ । यसकारण, तिम्रो पत्नी यहीँ छिन् । तिनलाई लेऊ र आफ्नो बाटो लाग ।
20 Pharaoh commanded men concerning him, and they escorted him away with his wife and all that he had.
अनि फारोले तिनको बारेमा आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई आदेश दिए र तिनीहरूले तिनलाई तिनकी पत्नी र तिनीसँग भएका सबै थोकसहित पठाए ।
