Genesis 12
1 And Jehovah saith unto Abram, 'Go for thyself, from thy land, and from thy kindred, and from the house of thy father, unto the land which I shew thee.
Onyenwe anyị gwara Ebram okwu sị, “Site nʼobodo gị, sikwa na ụmụnna gị na ezinaụlọ nna gị, gaa nʼala m ga-egosi gị.
2 And I make thee become a great nation, and bless thee, and make thy name great; and be thou a blessing.
“Aga m eme gị mba ukwu, aga m agọzi gị, aga m eme ka aha gị dị ukwuu, ị ga-abụ ngọzị.
3 And I bless those blessing thee, and him who is disesteeming thee I curse, and blessed in thee have been all families of the ground.'
Aga m agọzi ndị na-agọzi gị, ma onye ọbụla kọchara gị ka m ga-akọcha; a ga-agọzikwa agbụrụ niile nọ nʼụwa site na gị.”
4 And Abram goeth on, as Jehovah hath spoken unto him, and Lot goeth with him, and Abram [is] a son of five and seventy years in his going out from Charan.
Ya mere, Ebram hapụrụ gaa dịka Onyenwe anyị gwara ya. Lọt sokwa ya. Ebram agbaala iri afọ asaa na ise mgbe o si na Haran bulie ije.
5 And Abram taketh Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they have gained, and the persons that they have obtained in Charan; and they go out to go towards the land of Canaan; and they come in to the land of Canaan.
O duru nwunye ya Serai na Lọt nwa nwanne ya, chịkọtakwa akụ niile ha kpakọbara, na ndị ohu niile ha nwetara nʼala Haran, chee ihu ịga nʼala Kenan. Emesịa ha rutere nʼebe ahụ.
6 And Abram passeth over into the land, unto the place Shechem, unto the oak of Moreh; and the Canaanite [is] then in the land.
Ebram jere ije nʼime ala Kenan jeruo nʼebe osisi ukwu More, nke dị nʼobodo Shekem. Ndị Kenan bi nʼala ahụ nʼoge ahụ.
7 And Jehovah appeareth unto Abram, and saith, 'To thy seed I give this land;' and he buildeth there an altar to Jehovah, who hath appeared unto him.
Onyenwe anyị mere ka Ebram hụ ya anya, ọ sịrị, “Aga m enye mkpụrụ gị ala a.” Ya mere, Ebram wuru ebe ịchụ aja nʼebe ahụ nye Onyenwe anyị onye gosiri ya onwe ya.
8 And he removeth from thence towards a mountain at the east of Beth-El, and stretcheth out the tent (Beth-El at the west, and Hai at the east), and he buildeth there an altar to Jehovah, and preacheth in the name of Jehovah.
Emesịa, Ebram hapụrụ ebe ahụ chee ihu nʼala ugwu dị nʼọwụwa anyanwụ Betel, maa ụlọ ikwu ya. Obodo Betel dị nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ, ma obodo Ai dị nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ ebe ọ mara ụlọ ikwu ya. Nʼebe nsọ ahụ Ebram wuru ebe ịchụ aja, nọrọ nʼebe ahụ kpọkuo aha Onyenwe anyị.
9 And Abram journeyeth, going on and journeying towards the south.
Ọzọ, Ebram si nʼebe ahụ pụọ gaa ije rute Negev.
10 And there is a famine in the land, and Abram goeth down towards Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine [is] grievous in the land;
Nʼoge ahụ, oke ụnwụ dara nʼala ahụ. Nʼihi ya, Ebram hapụrụ ala ahụ gaa nʼala Ijipt, ebe o biri nwa oge.
11 and it cometh to pass as he hath drawn near to enter Egypt, that he saith unto Sarai his wife, 'Lo, I pray thee, I have known that thou [art] a woman of beautiful appearance;
Ma mgbe ha na-akwado ịbanye ala Ijipt, ọ gwara Serai nwunye ya sị, “Amaara m na ị bụ nwanyị mara mma.
12 and it hath come to pass that the Egyptians see thee, and they have said, 'This [is] his wife,' and they have slain me, and thee they keep alive:
Mgbe ndị Ijipt ga-ahụ gị, ha ga-asị, ‘Onye a bụ nwunye ya.’ Mgbe ahụ, ha ga-egbu m ma hapụ gị ndụ.
13 say, I pray thee, thou [art] my sister, so that it is well with me because of thee, and my soul hath lived for thy sake.'
Gwa ha na ị bụ nwanne m nwanyị, ka ha meso m mmeso ọma nʼihi gị. Ha ga-echebekwa m ndụ nʼihi gị.”
14 And it cometh to pass, at the entering of Abram into Egypt, that the Egyptians see the woman that she [is] exceeding fair;
Mgbe Ebram rutere Ijipt, ndị Ijipt hụrụ na nwunye ya bụ nwanyị mara mma.
15 and princes of Pharaoh see her, and praise her unto Pharaoh, and the woman is taken [to] Pharaoh's house;
Mgbe ndị ozi Fero hụrụ ya, ha toro ya nʼihu Fero. Nʼihi nke a, ha kpọbatara Serai nʼụlọeze Fero.
16 and to Abram he hath done good because of her, and he hath sheep and oxen, and he-asses, and men-servants, and handmaids, and she-asses, and camels.
Fero mesoro Ebram mmeso ọma nʼihi nwunye ya. Ebram nwetara igwe atụrụ, na ehi, na nne ịnyịnya ibu, oke na nwunye, na ndị ohu ndị nwoke na ndị nwanyị, na ịnyịnya kamel.
17 And Jehovah plagueth Pharaoh and his house — great plagues — for the matter of Sarai, Abram's wife.
Ma Onyenwe anyị jiri ajọọ ọrịa tie Fero na ndị ezinaụlọ ya ihe otiti nʼihi Serai nwunye Ebram.
18 And Pharaoh calleth for Abram, and saith, 'What [is] this thou hast done to me? why hast thou not declared to me that she [is] thy wife?
Mgbe ahụ, Fero kpọrọ Ebram sị ya, “Gịnị bụ ihe a i mere? Gịnị mere ị gwaghị m na ọ bụ nwunye gị?
19 Why hast thou said, She [is] my sister, and I take her to myself for a wife? and now, lo, thy wife, take and go.'
Gịnị mere i ji sị na ọ bụ nwanne gị nwanyị, si otu a mee m ka m kpọrọ ya ka ọ bụrụ nwunye m? Ugbu a, lee nwunye gị, kpọrọ ya laa.”
20 And Pharaoh chargeth men concerning him, and they send him away, and his wife, an all that he hath.
Fero nyere iwu banyere Ebram na ndị ikom so ya. Ha zilagara ya, ya na nwunye ya, na ihe niile o nwere.
