< Kinohi 12 >

1 I OLELO mai o Iehova ia Aberama, E hele aku oe mai kou aina aku, a mai kou poe hoahanau aku, a mai ka hale o kou makuakane aku, a hiki i ka aina a'u e kuhikuhi aku ai ia oe.
Now the Lord said to Abram, Go out from your country and from your family and from your father's house, into the land to which I will be your guide:
2 A e hoolilo au ia oe i lahuikanaka nui, e hoomaikai aku hoi au ia oe, e hookaulana hoi au i kou inoa, a e lilo oe i mea e pomaikai ai.
And I will make of you a great nation, blessing you and making your name great; and you will be a blessing:
3 E hoopomaikai aku hoi au i ka poe hoomaikai ia oe, a e hoino aku au i ka mea hoino ia oe, a ia oe e pomaikai ai na ohana a pau o ka honua.
To them who are good to you will I give blessing, and on him who does you wrong will I put my curse: and you will become a name of blessing to all the families of the earth.
4 Hele aku la o Aberama e like me ka Iehova i olelo mai ai ia ia; a hele pu o Lota me ia. He kanahiku kumamalima na makahiki o Aberama, i kona wa i hele mai ai mai Harana mai.
So Abram went as the Lord had said to him, and Lot went with him: Abram was seventy-five years old when he went away from Haran.
5 Lawe ae la o Aberama i kana wahine ia Sarai, a me Lota ke keiki a kona kaikuaana, a me ka waiwai a pau a lakou i hoiliili ai, a me na ohua a pau i loaa ia lakou ma Harana; a puka mai la lakou e hele mai i ka aina o Kanaana; a hiki mai la lakou i ka aina o Kanaana.
And Abram took Sarai, his wife, and Lot, his brother's son, and all their goods and the servants which they had got in Haran, and they went out to go to the land of Canaan.
6 Kaahele ae la o Aberama i ka aina, a hiki aku la i kahi o Sikema, i ka laau oka o More. E noho ana no na mamo a Kanaana ma ia aina ia manawa.
And Abram went through the land till he came to Shechem, to the holy tree of Moreh. At that time, the Canaanites were still living in the land.
7 Ikea ae la o Iehova e Aberama, i mai la ia, E haawi aku no wau i keia aina no kau poe mamo: malaila oia i hana'i i kuahu no Iehova, ka mea i ikea e ia.
And the Lord came to Abram, and said, I will give all this land to your seed; then Abram made an altar there to the Lord who had let himself be seen by him.
8 Hele aku la ia mai ia wahi aku a ka puu ma ka hikina o Betela, a kukulu iho la i kona halelewa, o Betela ma ke komohana, a o Hai ma ka hikina: malaila oia i hana'i i kuahu no Iehova, a hea aku la ia i ka inoa o Iehova.
And moving on from there to the mountain on the east of Beth-el, he put up his tent, having Beth-el on the west and Ai on the east: and there he made an altar and gave worship to the name of the Lord.
9 Hele hou aku la o Aberama e neenee ana i ke kukuluhema.
And he went on, journeying still to the South.
10 He wi ma ia aina; a hele aku la o Aberama ilalo i Aigupita e noho malihini malaila, no ka mea, ua nui loa ka wi ma ka aina.
And because there was little food to be had in that land, he went down into Egypt.
11 A kokoke aku la ia e komo i Aigupita, i aku la ia i kana wahine ia Sarai, Eia hoi ke ike nei au he wahine maikai oe ke nanaia'ku:
Now when he came near to Egypt, he said to Sarai, his wife, Truly, you are a fair woman and beautiful to the eye;
12 Nolaila, a ike mai ko Aigupita ia oe, e olelo auanei lakou, Eia kana wahine; a e pepehi mai lakou ia'u, a e hoola ae lakou ia oe.
And I am certain that when the men of Egypt see you, they will say, This is his wife: and they will put me to death and keep you.
13 Ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, e i aku oe, he kaikuwahine oe no'u, i pomaikai ai au ia oe, a e malamaia kuu ola nou.
Say, then, that you are my sister, and so it will be well with me because of you, and my life will be kept safe on your account.
14 A hiki aku la o Aberama i Aigupita, ike mai la ko Aigupita i ka wahine he maikai loa.
And so it was that when Abram came into Egypt, the men of Egypt, looking on the woman, saw that she was fair.
15 A ike mai la na luna a Parao ia ia, hoomaikai lakou ia ia imua o Parao, a ua laweia aku la ua wahine la ma ka hale o Parao.
And Pharaoh's great men, having seen her, said words in praise of her to Pharaoh, and she was taken into Pharaoh's house.
16 Lokomaikai mai la oia ia Aberama no Sarai: a ia ia na hipa, na bipi, na hoki, na kauwakane, na kauwawahine, na hokiwahine, a me na kamelo.
And because of her, he was good to Abram, and he had sheep and oxen and asses, and men-servants and women-servants, and camels.
17 Hooeha mai la o Iehova ia Parao a me kona poe ohua i na mai eha loa, no Sarai ka wahine a Aberama.
And the Lord sent great troubles on Pharaoh's house because of Sarai, Abram's wife.
18 Kahea mai la o Parao ia Aberama, i mai la, Heaha keia mea au i hana mai ai ia'u? No ke aha la i hai ole mai oe ia'u o kau wahine ia?
Then Pharaoh sent for Abram, and said, What have you done to me? why did you not say that she was your wife?
19 No ke aha la oe i olelo mai ai, O ko'u kaikuwahine ia, i mea e lawe ai au ia ia i wahine na'u? Eia hoi kau wahine, e lawe oe ia ia, a e hele aku.
Why did you say that she was your sister? so that I took her for my wife: now, take your wife and go on your way.
20 Kauoha aku la o Parao i kona poe kanaka nona, a hoihoi mai la lakou ia ia, me kana wahine, a me kana mau mea a pau.
And Pharaoh gave orders to his men, and they sent him on his way, with his wife and all he had.
