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.
And he said Yahweh to Abram go for yourself from land your and from kindred your and from [the] household of father your to the land which I will show you.
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.
So I may make you into a nation great and I will bless you and I will make great name your and you be 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.
So let me bless [those who] bless you and [one who] disdains you I will curse and they will be blessed by you all [the] clans of the earth.
4 Abram pati jan Seyè a te di l' la. Lòt pati ansanm avè l' tou. Abram te gen swasannkenzan lè li kite Karan.
And he went Abram just as he had said to him Yahweh and he went with him Lot and Abram [was] a son of five years and seventy year[s] when came out he from 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 he took Abram Sarai wife his and Lot [the] son of brother his and all possession[s] their which they had accumulated and the person[s] whom they had acquired in Haran and they went out to go [the] land of towards Canaan and they came [the] land of towards 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 he passed Abram in the land to [the] place of Shechem to [the] great tree of Moreh and the Canaanite[s] then [was] 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 he appeared Yahweh to Abram and he said to offspring your I will give the land this and he built there an altar to Yahweh who had 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 on from there the hill country towards from [the] east of Beth-el and he pitched (tent his *Q(K)*) Beth-el [was] from [the] west and Ai [was] from [the] east and he built there an altar to Yahweh and he called on [the] name of Yahweh.
9 Li vwayaje toujou, li desann nan direksyon sid, bout pou bout jouk li rive nan rejyon Negèv la.
And he journeyed Abram going and journeying the south towards.
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 it was a famine in the land and he went down Abram Egypt towards to sojourn there for [was] heavy the famine 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 was just as he drew near to enter Egypt and he said to Sarai wife his here! please I know that [are] a woman beautiful of appearance you.
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 will be that they will see you the Egyptians and they will say [is] wife his this and they will kill me and you they will let live.
13 Tanpri, di yo se sè mwen ou ye pou yo pa touye m', pou yo ka aji byen avè m' poutèt ou.
Say please [are] sister my you so that it may go well for me for sake of you and it will live life my on account of you.
14 Se konsa, rive Abram rive nan peyi Lejip, mesye yo gen tan wè jan Sarayi te yon bèl fanm.
And it was when entered Abram Egypt and they saw the Egyptians the woman that [was] beautiful she very.
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 they saw her [the] officials of Pharaoh and they praised her to Pharaoh and she was taken the woman [the] house of Pharaoh.
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 to Abram he did good for sake of her and it be[longed] to him sheep and cattle and [male] donkeys and [male] servants and female servants and female 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 he struck Yahweh - Pharaoh plagues great and house his on [the] matter of Sarai [the] wife of Abram.
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 he summoned Pharaoh Abram and he said what? this have you done to me why? not did you tell to me that [was] wife your she.
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 you say [is] sister my she and I took her for myself to a wife and now here! wife your take [her] and go.
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 he commanded on him Pharaoh men and they sent away him and wife his and all that [belonged] to him.
