1 Ubangiji ya ce wa Abram, “Tashi ka bar ƙasarka, da mutanenka, da iyalin mahaifinka, ka tafi ƙasar da zan nuna maka.
Now God had said to Abram, "Go out from your country, and from your relatives, and from your father's house, to the land that I will show you.
2 “Zan mai da kai al’umma mai girma, zan kuma albarkace ka; zan sa sunanka yă zama mai girma, ka kuma zama sanadin albarka.
And 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 Zan albarkaci duk wanda ya albarkace ka, in kuma la’anci duk wanda ya la’anta ka, dukan mutanen duniya za su sami albarka ta wurinka.”
And I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse those who treat you with contempt, and through you all the families of the earth will be blessed."
4 Saboda haka Abram ya tashi yadda Ubangiji ya faɗa masa; Lot ma ya tafi tare da shi. Abram yana da shekaru 75, sa’ad da ya tashi daga Haran.
So Abram left, as God had told him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.
5 Abram ya ɗauki matarsa Saira da Lot ɗan ɗan’uwansa, da dukan mallakar da suka tattara, da kuma mutanen da suka samu a Haran, suka kama hanya zuwa ƙasar Kan’ana.
Abram took Sarai his wife, Lot his brother's son, and all their possessions that they had accumulated, and the people whom they had acquired in Haran, and they left to go to the land of Canaan. And they came to the land of Canaan,
6 Abram ya ratsa ƙasar har zuwa wurin babban itace na More a Shekem. A lokacin Kan’aniyawa suna a ƙasar.
and Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time the Canaanites were in the land.
7 Ubangiji ya bayyana ga Abram ya ce, “Ga zuriyarka ne zan ba da wannan ƙasa.” Saboda haka Abram ya gina bagade a can ga Ubangiji, wanda ya bayyana gare shi.
Then God appeared to Abram and said to him, "I will give this land to your offspring." He built an altar there to God, who appeared to him.
8 Daga can, ya ci gaba zuwa wajen tuddai a gabashin Betel ya kafa tentinsa, Betel yana yamma, Ai, kuma a gabas. A can ya gina bagade ga Ubangiji ya kuma kira bisa sunan Ubangiji.
He left from there to the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Ai on the east. There he built an altar and called on the name of God.
9 Sa’an nan Abram ya tashi ya ci gaba da tafiya zuwa wajen Negeb.
And Abram traveled on, continuing toward the Negev.
10 To, a lokacin, an yi yunwa a ƙasar, sai Abram ya gangara zuwa Masar don yă zauna a can na ɗan lokaci, domin yunwa ta yi tsanani.
There was a famine in the land, so Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there, because the famine was severe in the land.
11 Yayinda yana gab da shiga Masar, sai ya ce wa matarsa Saira, “Na sani ke kyakkyawar mace ce.
It happened, when he had come near to enter Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, "Look, I know what a beautiful woman you are.
12 Sa’ad da Masarawa suka ganki, za su ce, ‘Wannan matarsa ce.’ Za su kuwa kashe ni, su bar ki da rai.
It will happen, when the Egyptians will see you, that they will say, 'This is his wife.' And they will kill me, but they will let you live.
13 Saboda haka ki ce ke’yar’uwata ce, domin ta dalilinki a mutunta ni, a kuma bar ni da rai.”
Please say that you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that I may live because of you."
14 Sa’ad da Abram ya isa Masar, Masarawa suka ga cewa Saira kyakkyawa mace ce ƙwarai.
It happened that when Abram had come into Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.
15 Sa’ad da fadawan Fir’auna suka gan ta kuwa, sai suka yabe ta wajen Fir’auna, aka kuwa kawo ta cikin fadarsa.
The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into the household of Pharaoh.
16 Ya mutunta Abram sosai saboda ita, Abram kuwa ya mallaki tumaki da shanu, da jakuna maza da mata, da bayi maza da mata, da kuma raƙuma.
He dealt well with Abram for her sake, and he acquired sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.
17 Amma Ubangiji ya wahalar da Fir’auna da gidansa da cututtuka masu zafi saboda Saira, matar Abram.
But God plagued Pharaoh and his house with great and grievous plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife.
18 Saboda haka Fir’auna ya kira Abram ya ce, “Me ke nan ka yi mini? Me ya sa ba ka faɗa mini cewa ita matarka ce ba?
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 Don me ka ruɗe ni cewa, ‘Ita’yar’uwata ce,’ har na ɗauke ta tă zama matata? To, ga matarka. Ɗauke ta ka tafi.”
Why did you say, 'She is my sister,' so that I took her to be my wife? Now therefore, look, your wife is before you. Take, and go."
20 Sa’an nan Fir’auna ya yi wa mutanensa umarni a kan Abram, suka kuwa sallame shi tare da matarsa da kuma dukan abin da yake da shi.
Pharaoh commanded men concerning him, and they sent him away with his wife and all his possessions.
