Mose 1 12
1 Le Abram fofo ƒe ku megbe la, Yehowa gblɔ na Abram be, “Ʋu le mia de, gblẽ wò ƒometɔwo ɖi, eye nàyi anyigba si mafia wò la dzi.
Now Yahweh said to Abram, “Go from your country, and from your relatives, and from your father's household, to the land that I will show you.
2 Ne èwɔ esia la, mana nàzu dukɔ gã aɖe fofo. Mayra wò, eye mana nàxɔ ŋkɔ. Gawu la, àhe yayra vɛ na ame geɖewo.
I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, and you will be a blessing.
3 Mayra ame siwo ayra wò la, eye maƒo fi ade ame sia ame si aƒo fi ade wò la. Woayra xexea me blibo la ɖe tawò.”
I will bless those who bless you, but whoever dishonors you I will curse. Through you will all the families of the earth be blessed.”
4 Ale Abram ʋu le wo de abe ale si Yehowa gblɔ nɛ ene. Ekplɔ Lot ɖe asi. Ɣe ma ɣi la, Abram xɔ ƒe blaadre-vɔ-atɔ̃ esi wòdzo le Haran.
So Abram went, as Yahweh had told him to do, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran.
5 Ekplɔ srɔ̃a, Sarai kple eƒe tɔgãyɔvi Lot ɖe asi, eye wòtsɔ kesinɔnu siwo katã wòkpɔ le Haran, nyiwo kple kluviwo siaa dzoe heyi Kanaan.
Abram took Sarai, his wife, Lot, his brother's son, all their possessions that they had accumulated, and the people that they had acquired in Haran. They left to go into the land of Canaan, and came to the land of Canaan.
6 Esime wonɔ mɔ zɔm to Kanaanyigba dzi la, woɖo teƒe aɖe le Sikem gbɔ. Wotɔ ɖe ati gã aɖe te le More. Kanaantɔwo nɔ anyigba la dzi ɣe ma ɣi.
Abram passed through the land as far as Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time the Canaanites lived in the land.
7 Yehowa ɖe eɖokui fia Abram, eye wògblɔ be, “Matsɔ anyigba sia ana wò dzidzimeviwo.” Abram ɖi vɔsamlekpui aɖe ɖe afi ma hena ŋkuɖoɖo ale si Yehowa ɖe eɖokui fiae le afi ma la dzi.
Yahweh appeared to Abram, and said, “To your descendants I will give this land.” So there Abram built an altar to Yahweh, who had appeared to him.
8 Le esia megbe la, Abram dzo le afi sia, eye wòɖo ta anyigbeme lɔƒo, heyi tonyigba si le Betel le ɣetoɖoƒe kple Ai le ɣedzeƒe la dome. Etu agbadɔ kple vɔsamlekpui ɖe afi sia, eye wòdo gbe ɖa na Yehowa.
From there he moved to the hill country to the east of Bethel, where he pitched his tent, with Bethel to the west and Ai to the east. There he built an altar to Yahweh and called on the name of Yahweh.
9 Ale wòyi mɔzɔzɔ dzi ɖɔɖɔɖɔ henɔ anyigbeme yim, henɔ tɔtɔm ɖe teƒewo ɖo ta Negeb.
Then Abram continued journeying, going toward the Negev.
10 Dɔwuame sesẽ aɖe nɔ anyigba la dzi ɣe ma ɣi, ale Abram yi be yeanɔ Egipte.
There was a famine in the land, so Abram went down into Egypt to stay, for the famine was severe in the land.
11 Ke esi wògogo Egipte la, egblɔ na Sarai be wòagblɔ na ame sia ame be ye nɔvinyɔnue yenye! “Èdze tugbe ŋutɔ.
When he was about to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, “See here, I know that you are a beautiful woman.
12 Ne Egiptetɔwo kpɔ wò la, woagblɔ be, ‘Srɔ̃ae nye nyɔnu sia, mina míawu ŋutsu la ekema míaxɔ nyɔnu la aɖe!’
When the Egyptians see you they will say, 'This is his wife,' and they will kill me, but they will keep you alive.
13 Ke ne ègblɔ be nɔvinyee yenye la, Egiptetɔwo axɔm nyuie le tawò, eye womawum o!”
Say that you are my sister, so that it may be well with me because of you, and so that my life will be spared because of you.”
14 Le nyateƒe me esi woɖo Egipte la, ame sia ame ɖi ɖase le eƒe tugbedzedze ŋu.
It came about that when Abram entered into Egypt, the Egyptians saw that Sarai was very beautiful.
15 Esi fia ƒe subɔlawo kpɔe la, wokafu eƒe tugbedzedze na Fia Farao, eye wokplɔe yi ɖe Farao ƒe aƒe me.
The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh, and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's household.
16 Farao tsɔ nunana geɖewo, alẽwo, nyiwo, tedziwo, kluviwo, kosiwo kple kposɔwo na Abram ɖe srɔ̃a Sarai ta.
Pharaoh treated Abram well for her sake, and gave him sheep, oxen, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.
17 Ke Yehowa na dɔvɔ̃ sesẽ aɖe va ge ɖe Farao ƒe aƒe me le Abram srɔ̃ Sarai ƒe aƒea me nɔnɔ ta.
Then Yahweh afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife.
18 Ale Farao yɔ Abram va eɖokui gbɔ, eye wòka mo nɛ gblɔ be, “Nu kae nye esi nèwɔ ɖe ŋunye? Nu ka ta mègblɔ nam be ye srɔ̃e o ɖo?
Pharaoh summoned Abram, and said, “What is this that you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife?
19 Nu ka ta nèɖe mɔ nam be maɖee, eye nègblɔ nam be ye nɔvie ɖo? Kpɔ ɖa, kplɔ srɔ̃wò dzoe le afi sia enumake!”
Why did you say, 'She is my sister,' so that I took her to be my wife? Now therefore, here is your wife. Take her, and go your way.”
20 Ale Farao nya wo, eye wòna asrafowo dzɔ Abram, srɔ̃a kple woƒe amewo kple woƒe kesinɔnuwo katã ŋu va se ɖe esime wodo go le eƒe anyigba dzi.
Then Pharaoh gave orders to his men concerning him, and they sent him away, along with his wife and all that he had.
