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.
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Abram niya, “Dar iwe pinyu gi jou kod joodu mondo idhi e piny ma abiro nyisi.
2 I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing.
“Anaketi oganda maduongʼ kendo anagwedhi; anami nyingi bed gi huma, kendo anami ibed gweth ne ji.
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.”
Anagwedh jogo ma gwedhi kendo anakwongʼ jogo makwongʼi, kendo ogendini duto manie piny nogwedhi nikech in.”
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.
Omiyo Abram nowuok kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosenyise kendo Lut nodhi kode. Abram ne ja-higni piero abiriyo gabich kane owuok Haran.
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.
Nokawo chiege Sarai, gi Lut wuod owadgi, gi mwandu duto mane gisechoko kod wasumbini duto mane gin-go Haran, kendo negichako wuoth mar dhi Kanaan mi negichopo kuno.
6 Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time, Canaanites were in the land.
Abram nowuotho e piny mochopo Shekem e tiend yath maduongʼ mar More. E kindego jo-Kanaan nodak e pinyno.
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.
Jehova Nyasaye nofwenyore ne Abram mi owachone niya, “Anami kothi pinyni.” Omiyo Abram nogero kendo mar misango kanyo ne Jehova Nyasaye mane osefwenyorene.
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.
Noa kanyo modhi e piny gode ma yo wuok chiengʼ mar Bethel kendo nogero hembe e kind Bethel man yo podho chiengʼ to gi Ai man yo wuok chiengʼ. Kanyo nogeroe kendo mar misango ne Jehova Nyasaye kendo nolamo Jehova Nyasaye kanyo.
9 Abram travelled, still going on towards the South.
Eka Abram nochako wuoth kendo odhi nyime giwuoth kochomo Negev.
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.
Koro kech nomako pinyno kendo Abram nodhi Misri mondo odhi odag kuno kuom kinde matin nikech kech ne duongʼ.
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.
Kane ochiegni donjo Misri, nowacho ne Sarai chiege niya, “Angʼeyo kaka in dhako ma jaber.
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.
Ka jo-Misri oneni, gibiro wacho, ‘Ma en chiege.’ Mi gininega to inires ngimani.
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.”
Wach ni in nyamera, mondo mi gitimna maber kendo ngimana obedie nikech in.”
14 When Abram had come into Egypt, some Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.
Kane Abram ochopo Misri, jo-Misri noneno Sarai kaka ne en dhako ma jaber miwuoro.
15 The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.
Kendo kane jodong Farao oneno Sarai, negiwuoro berne ne Farao kendo nokawe motere kar dak ruoth.
16 He dealt well with Abram for her sake. He had sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.
Farao nomiyo Abram rit maber nikech Sarai, kendo nomiyo Abram rombe, dhok, pundane machwo gi mamon, wasumbini machwo gi mamon kod ngamia.
17 The LORD afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.
To Jehova Nyasaye nosando Farao gi joode gi tuoche madongo nikech Sarai chi Abram.
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?
Omiyo Farao noluongo Abram kendo nopenje niya, “Angʼo ma isetimonani? Ere gima omiyo ne ok inyisa ni Sarai en chiegi?
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.”
Mara angʼo ne iwuonda ni Sarai en nyameru momiyo akawe mondo obed chiega? Chiegi eri, kawe mondo udhi.”
20 Pharaoh commanded men concerning him, and they escorted him away with his wife and all that he had.
Eka Farao nogolo chik ne joge mondo ogol Abram, chiege gi gige duto kendo gikowogi oko mar pinyno.
