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 the LORD had said to Abram, Depart from thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, to a land that I will show thee:
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.
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt 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.”
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all 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 departed, as the LORD had spoken to him, and Lot went with him: and Abram [was] seventy and five years old when he departed from 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.
And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went to go forth into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
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.
And Abram passed through the land to the place of Sichem, to the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite [was] then 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.
And the LORD appeared to Abram, and said, To thy seed will I give this land: and there he erected an altar to the LORD, who 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.
And he removed from thence to a mountain on the east of Beth-el, and pitched his tent, [having] Beth-el on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he erected an altar to the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD.
9 Ale wòyi mɔzɔzɔ dzi ɖɔɖɔɖɔ henɔ anyigbeme yim, henɔ tɔtɔm ɖe teƒewo ɖo ta Negeb.
And Abram journeyed, going on still towards the south.
10 Dɔwuame sesẽ aɖe nɔ anyigba la dzi ɣe ma ɣi, ale Abram yi be yeanɔ Egipte.
And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to dwell there; for the famine [was] grievous 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.
And it came to pass, when he had come near to enter into Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou [art] a fair woman to look upon:
12 Ne Egiptetɔwo kpɔ wò la, woagblɔ be, ‘Srɔ̃ae nye nyɔnu sia, mina míawu ŋutsu la ekema míaxɔ nyɔnu la aɖe!’
Therefore it will come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they will say, This [is] his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive.
13 Ke ne ègblɔ be nɔvinyee yenye la, Egiptetɔwo axɔm nyuie le tawò, eye womawum o!”
Say, I pray thee, thou [art] my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.
14 Le nyateƒe me esi woɖo Egipte la, ame sia ame ɖi ɖase le eƒe tugbedzedze ŋu.
And it came to pass, that when Abram had come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she [was] very fair.
15 Esi fia ƒe subɔlawo kpɔe la, wokafu eƒe tugbedzedze na Fia Farao, eye wokplɔe yi ɖe Farao ƒe aƒe me.
The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
16 Farao tsɔ nunana geɖewo, alẽwo, nyiwo, tedziwo, kluviwo, kosiwo kple kposɔwo na Abram ɖe srɔ̃a Sarai ta.
And he treated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and she-asses, 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.
And the LORD 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?
And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What [is] this [that] thou hast done to me? why didst thou not tell me that she [is] thy 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 saidst thou, She [is] my sister? so I might have taken her to me for a wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take [her], and go thy 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.
And Pharaoh commanded [his] men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
