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.
BOEIPA loh Abram taengah, “Nang te na khohmuen taeng lamloh, na pacaboeina taeng lamloh, na pa im lamloh cet laeh. Te khohmuen te nang kan tueng bitni.
2 I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing.
Tedae nang te pilnu la kan saii vetih nang yoethen kan paek ni. Na ming ka rhoeng sak vetih yoethennah om ni.
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.”
Te phoeiah nang yoe aka then sak rhoek te a yoe ka then sak vetih nang aka kosinah te khaw thae ka phoei ni. Nang kong ah diklai huiko boeih a yoethen uh ni,” a ti nah.
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.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh anih taengah a thui bangla Abram a caeh hatah Lot khaw anih taengah cet van. Tedae Abram Haran lamkah a caeh vaengah kum sawmrhih neh kum nga lo ca coeng.
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.
Abram loh a yuu Sarai te khaw, a maya capa Lot te khaw, khuehtawn a dang uh boeih te khaw, Haran ah a dang hinglu te khaw a khuen. Te phoeiah Kanaan khohmuen la caeh ham hlah uh tih Kanaan khohmuen te a paan uh.
6 Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time, Canaanites were in the land.
Te dongah Abram te khohmuen kah Shekhem hmuen Moreh thingnu due a pha. Tedae te vaengah Kanaan te khohmuen ah ana om uh coeng.
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.
Tedae Abram taengah BOEIPA a phoe pah tih, “Hekah khohmuen he na tiingan taengah ka paek ni,” a ti nah. Te dongah amah taengah aka phoe BOEIPA ham hmueihtuk pahoi a suem pah.
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.
Te phoeiah te lamkah khothoeng tlang Bethel la puen uh tih tuitunli benkah Bethel neh Ai khothoeng laklo ah amah kah dap a tuk. Te phoeiah BOEIPA ham hmueihtuk a suem tih BOEIPA ming te a phoei.
9 Abram traveled, still going on toward the South.
Te phoeiah Abram te aka puen uh ham cet tih Negev la puen uh.
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.
Tedae khohmuen ah khokha a om dongah Abram te Egypt la cet. Te la a bakuep akhaw khohmuen ah khokha te a nah dongah ni.
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.
Tedae Egypt la kun ham a yoei vaengah a yuu Sarai taengah, “Na mueimae sakthen nu tila ka ming coeng ne.
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.
Te dongah Egypt rhoek loh nang te m'hmuh uh vaengah, 'Anih yuu ni he,’ a ti uh ni. Te vaengah kai n'ngawn uh vetih nang te n'hing sak uh ni he.
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.”
Namah te kai ngannu la thui mai. Te daengah ni nang kong neh kai ham khaw thuem vetih nang kong ah ka hinglu khaw a hing eh?,” a ti nah.
14 When Abram had come into Egypt, some Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.
Abram Egypt la kun tih Egypt loh a hmuh uh vaengah a yuu te a sakthen tangkik.
15 The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.
Pharaoh kah mangpa rhoek loh anih te a hmuh uh vaengah Pharaoh ham anih te a thangthen uh. Te dongah huta te Pharaoh im la a khuen uh.
16 He dealt well with Abram for her sake. He had sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.
Anih rhang neh Abram ham khaw then tih tu khaw saelhung khaw, laak khaw, salpa khaw, salnu khaw, laak tal khaw, kalauk khaw Abram taengla boeih kun.
17 The LORD afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.
Tedae Abram yuu Sarai kah dumlai kongah Pharaoh neh anih imkhui te BOEIPA loh a nah la lucik neh a vuek.
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?
Te dongah Pharaoh loh Abram te a khue tih, “Hekah he ba ham lae kai taengah na saii. Balae tih anih he namah yuu tila kai taengah na puen pawh?
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.”
Balae tih, anih he ka ngannu na ti. Te dongah ni anih he ka yuu la kamah taengah ka loh. Tedae na yuu he lo lamtah cet laeh,” a ti nah.
20 Pharaoh commanded men concerning him, and they escorted him away with his wife and all that he had.
Te dongah anih ham Pharaoh loh a hlang rhoek te a uen tih, Abram khaw, a yuu khaw, a taengkah aka om boeih te khaw a tueih uh.
