Jenèz 12
1 Seyè a di Abram konsa. Pati, kite peyi ou la. Kite tout fanmi ou. Kite kay papa ou, ale nan peyi m'a moutre ou la.
Now Jehovah said to Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, to the land that I will show thee.
2 M'ap ba ou anpil pitit pitit. Y'a tounen yon gwo nasyon. m'a beni ou. Y'a nonmen non ou toupatou; w'a sèvi yon benediksyon pou tout moun.
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great, and be thou a blessing.
3 M'ap voye benediksyon mwen sou tout moun ki va mande benediksyon pou ou. Men, m'ap madichonnen tout moun ki va ba ou madichon. Gremesi ou, tout nasyon sou latè va jwenn benediksyon.
And I will bless those who bless thee, and he who curses thee I will curse. And in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
4 Abram pati jan Seyè a te di l' la. Lòt pati ansanm avè l' tou. Abram te gen swasannkenzan lè li kite Karan.
So Abram went as Jehovah had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed out of Haran.
5 Abram pran Sarayi, madanm li, Lòt, pitit frè li a, ansanm ak tout byen li te genyen ak tout domestik li te gen avè l' nan lavil Karan, yo tout yo pati pou Kanaran. Yo rive nan peyi a.
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 forth to go into the land of Canaan. And they came into the land of Canaan.
6 Abram mache nan tout peyi a, jouk li rive kote yo rele Sichèm, bò pye bwadchenn More a. Lè sa a se moun Kanaran yo ki te rete nan peyi a.
And Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
7 Abram fè yon vizyon, li wè Seyè a ki di l'. Men peyi m'ap bay pitit pitit ou yo a. Se la Abram bati yon lotèl pou Seyè a ki te parèt devan li nan vizyon an.
And Jehovah appeared to Abram, and said, I will give this land to thy seed. And there he built an altar to Jehovah, who appeared to him.
8 Apre sa, li pati ankò, li ale nan mòn ki toupre lavil Betèl, sou bò solèy leve. Li moute tant li la. Betèl te sou bò lanmè, Ayi te sou bò solèy leve. Abram bati yon lotèl pou Seyè a la tou, epi li fè sèvis pou li.
And he moved from there to the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Ai on the east. And there he built an altar to Jehovah, and called upon the name of Jehovah.
9 Li vwayaje toujou, li desann nan direksyon sid, bout pou bout jouk li rive nan rejyon Negèv la.
And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the South.
10 Men, grangou tonbe sou peyi a, pa t' gen manje menm. Se poutèt sa Abram te desann nan peyi Lejip. Li rete la yon bon bout tan.
And there was a famine in the land. And Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine was severe in the land.
11 Li te prèt pou antre nan peyi Lejip lè li di Sarayi, madanm li. Koute non. Ou se yon bèl fanm.
And it came to pass, when he came near to enter into Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou are a fair woman to look upon.
12 Lè gason nan peyi Lejip yo wè ou, yo pral di: Se madanm li wi! Epi y'a touye m' pou yo sa pran ou nan men m'.
And it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife. And they will kill me, but they will save thee alive.
13 Tanpri, di yo se sè mwen ou ye pou yo pa touye m', pou yo ka aji byen avè m' poutèt ou.
Say, I pray thee, thou are my sister, that it may be well with me for thy sake, and that my soul may live because of thee.
14 Se konsa, rive Abram rive nan peyi Lejip, mesye yo gen tan wè jan Sarayi te yon bèl fanm.
And it came to pass, that, when Abram came into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
15 Kèk grannèg nan gouvènman an wè sa tou, y al di farawon an jan li te bèl. Epi yo mennen Sarayi nan palè a.
And the princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh. And the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
16 Poutèt Sarayi, farawon an te aji byen ak Abram. Li ba li kantite mouton, kabrit, bèf, bourik, chamo, san konte esklav, fanm kou gason, pou sèvi l'.
And he dealt well with Abram for her sake. And he had sheep, and oxen, and he-donkeys, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and she-donkeys, and camels.
17 Men, paske farawon an te pran Sarayi, madanm Abram, pou madanm li, Seyè a voye yon bann move maladi sou li ak sou moun ki te nan palè a.
And Jehovah plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife.
18 Lè sa a, farawon an fè rele Abram, li di li. Kisa ou fè m' konsa? Poukisa ou pa t' di m' se madanm ou Sarayi ye?
And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou have done to me? Why did thou not tell me that she was thy wife?
19 Poukisa ou te di m' se sè ou li ye? Mwen pa ta janm pran l' pou madanm mwen. Monchè, men madanm ou. Pran l', al fè wout ou.
Why did thou say, She is my sister, so that I took her to be my wife? Now therefore behold thy wife. Take her, and go thy way.
20 Farawon an pase moun li yo lòd pou fè Abram pati kite peyi a, li menm ansanm ak madanm li avèk tout sa ki te pou li.
And Pharaoh gave men command concerning him. And they brought him on the way, and his wife, and all that he had.
