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: “Depart from your land, and from your kindred, and from your father’s house, and come into the land that 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.
And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and magnify your name, and you will be blessed.
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 in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.”
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.
And so Abram departed just as the Lord had instructed him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from 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 he took his wife Sarai, and Lot, the son of his brother, and all the substance which they had come to possess, and the lives which they had acquired in Haran, and they departed in order to go to the land of Canaan. And when they arrived in it,
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 passed through the land even to the place of Shechem, as far as the famous steep valley. Now at that time, the Canaanite was 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 he said to him, “To your offspring, I will give this land.” And there he built an altar 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.
And passing on from there to a mountain, which was opposite the east of Bethel, he pitched his tent there, having Bethel to the west, and Hai on the east. He also built an altar there to the Lord, and he called upon his name.
9 Na el sifilpa fahsr sun acn puspis ke el fahsr in som nu tafunyen eir in acn Canaan.
And Abram traveled, going out and continuing further on, toward the south.
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.
But a famine occurred in the land. And Abram descended to Egypt, to sojourn there. For famine prevailed over the land.
11 Ke el akola in tupalla masrol nu Egypt, el fahk nu sel Sarai, mutan kial, “Kom mutan na oasku se.
And when he was close to entering Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai: “I know you to be 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, ‘She is his wife.’ And they will put me to death, and retain you.
13 Fahk nu selos mu ma wiuk pa kom, elos in mau tia uniyuwi, a oru wo nu sik.”
Therefore, I beg you to say that you are my sister, so that it may be well with me because of you, and so that my soul may live by your favor.”
14 Ke el utyak nu in acn Egypt, mwet Egypt elos liye lah mutan se kial ah arulana oasku.
And so, when Abram had arrived in Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was exceedingly 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.
And the princes reported it to Pharaoh, and they praised her to him. And the woman was inducted into the house 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.
In truth, they treated Abram well because of her. And he had sheep and oxen and male donkeys, and men servants, and women servants, and female donkeys, 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.
But the Lord scourged Pharaoh and his house with great wounds because of Sarai, the wife of Abram.
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?
And Pharaoh called Abram, and he said to him: “What is this that you have done to me? Why did you not 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!”
For what reason did you claim her to be your sister, so that I would take her to me as a wife? Now therefore, behold your mate, receive 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.
And Pharaoh instructed his men about Abram. And they led him away with his wife and all that he had.
