Genesis 12
1 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Abram, “Tuyak fahla liki facl sum, mwet inkul sin papa tomom, ac sou nukewa lom saya, ac som nu ke sie acn ma nga ac fah akkalemye nu sum.
Then the LORD said to Abram, “Leave your country, your kindred, and your father’s household, and go to the land I will show you.
2 Nga ac fah sot fwilin tulik puspis nutum, ac elos ac fah mau sie mutunfacl lulap. Nga ac akinsewowoye kom ac oru inem in pwengpeng. Ouinge kom ac fah sie mwe insewowo.
I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.
3 Nga fah akinsewowoyalos su akinsewowoye kom, Tusruk nga ac selngawelos su selngawi kom. Ac nga fah akinsewowoye mutanfahl nukewa keim.”
I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you; and all the families of the earth will be blessed through you.”
4 Ke Abram el yac itngoul limekosr, el mukuila liki acn Haran, oana ke LEUM GOD El fahk elan oru. Ac Lot el welul som.
So Abram departed, as the LORD had directed him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran.
5 Abram el eisal Sarai mutan kial, Lot wen nutin tamulel lal, ac mwe kasrup nukewa, wi mwet kulansap nukewa su elos tuh eis ke elos muta Haran, ac mukuiyak som nu in facl Canaan. Ke elos sun acn Canaan,
And Abram took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, and all the possessions and people they had acquired in Haran, and set out for the land of Canaan. When they came to the land of Canaan,
6 Abram el fufahsryesr in acn we nwe ke el sun sak oal Moreh, sie acn mutal in siti Shechem. (In pacl sac mwet Canaan srakna muta fin facl sac.)
Abram traveled through the land as far as the site of the Oak of Moreh at Shechem. And at that time the Canaanites were in the land.
7 LEUM GOD El sikyang nu sel Abram ac fahk nu sel, “Pa inge facl se ma nga ac sang nu sin fwilin tulik nutum.” Na Abram el etoak loang se nu sin LEUM GOD, su tuh sikyang nu sel we,
Then the LORD appeared to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your offspring.” So Abram built an altar there to the LORD, who had appeared to him.
8 Tukun pacl sac, el mukuiyak nu eir, nu infulan eol kutulap in siti Bethel, ac tulokunak lohm nuknuk sel inmasrlon Bethel layen roto, ac Ai layen kutulap. El oayapa etoak loang se we ac alu nu sin LEUM GOD.
From there Abram moved on to the hill country east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel to the west and Ai to the east. There he built an altar to the LORD, and he called on the name of the LORD.
9 Na el sifilpa fahsr sun acn puspis ke el fahsr in som nu tafunyen eir in acn Canaan.
And Abram journeyed on toward the Negev.
10 Tusruktu oasr sracl lulap se in acn Canaan su arulana upa, oru Abram el sifil pacna fahsr nu eir nwe ke na el sun acn Egypt, ac muta in aktuktuk we.
Now there was a famine in the land. So Abram went down to Egypt to live there for a while because the famine was severe.
11 Ke el akola in tupalla masrol nu Egypt, el fahk nu sel Sarai, mutan kial, “Kom mutan na oasku se.
As he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, “Look, I know that you are a beautiful woman,
12 Mwet Egypt ah fin liye kom, elos ac luma mu ma kiuk pa kom, na elos ac uniyuwi ac eiskomla.
and when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ Then they will kill me but will let you live.
13 Fahk nu selos mu ma wiuk pa kom, elos in mau tia uniyuwi, a oru wo nu sik.”
Please say you are my sister, so that I will be treated well for your sake, and on account of you my life will be spared.”
14 Ke el utyak nu in acn Egypt, mwet Egypt elos liye lah mutan se kial ah arulana oasku.
So when Abram entered Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.
15 Kutu sin mwet fulat inkul sin tokosra liyalak ac fahkang nu sel tokosra katoiyen mutan sac, pwanang utukla el nu inkul fulat sin tokosra.
When Pharaoh’s officials saw Sarai, they commended her to him, and she was taken into the palace of Pharaoh.
16 Ke sripal Sarai, tokosra el oru na wo nu sel Abram, ac kital u in sheep, nani, cow, donkey, camel, ac mwet kohs mukul ac mutan.
He treated Abram well on her account, and Abram acquired sheep and cattle, male and female donkeys, menservants and maidservants, and camels.
17 Tusruktu ke sripen tokosra el eisalla Sarai, LEUM GOD El supwama mas keok nu facl tokosra ac nu fin mwet inkul fulat sel.
The LORD, however, afflicted Pharaoh and his household with severe plagues because of Abram’s wife Sarai.
18 Na tokosra el sapla solalma Abram ac siyuk sel, “Mea kom oru nu sik uh? Efu ku kom tia fahk nu sik lah mutan se inge ma kiom?
So Pharaoh summoned Abram and asked, “What have you done to me? Why didn’t you tell me she was your wife?
19 Efu ku kom fahk mu ma wiom pa el, oru nga usalla kiuk? Pa ingan mutan kiom ah. Usal ac tiok likiyu!”
Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her as my wife? Now then, here is your wife. Take her and go!”
20 Tokosra el sap mwet lal ah in usalla Abram ac supwalla liki facl sac, wi mutan kial ac ma lal nukewa.
Then Pharaoh gave his men orders concerning Abram, and they sent him away with his wife and all his possessions.
