< 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.
Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and out of thy birthplace, and from thy father's house, unto the land that I will show thee.
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 thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 Nga fah akinsewowoyalos su akinsewowoye kom, Tusruk nga ac selngawelos su selngawi kom. Ac nga fah akinsewowoye mutanfahl nukewa keim.”
And I will bless those that bless thee, and him that curseth thee, will I curse; and in thee shall all families of the earth 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.
So Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken unto him, and Lot went with him; and Abram was seventy and five years old at his departure out of Charan.
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 Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had acquired, and the persons that they had obtained in Charan; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and they came into 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.)
And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Shechem, unto the plain of Moreh; and the Canaanite was then 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,
And the Lord appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land. And he built there an altar unto the Lord, who had appeared unto 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 he removed from there unto the mountain on the east of Beth-el, and pitched his tent, having Beth-el on the west, and 'Ai on the east; and he built there an altar unto the Lord, and called upon 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 farther, still going 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.
And there arose a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.
11 Ke el akola in tupalla masrol nu Egypt, el fahk nu sel Sarai, mutan kial, “Kom mutan na oasku se.
And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a woman of handsome appearance:
12 Mwet Egypt ah fin liye kom, elos ac luma mu ma kiuk pa kom, na elos ac uniyuwi ac eiskomla.
And it may come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they will say, This is his wife; and they may kill me, but thee they will save alive.
13 Fahk nu selos mu ma wiuk pa kom, elos in mau tia uniyuwi, a oru wo nu sik.”
Say then, I pray thee, thou art my sister, that it may go well with me for thy sake, and my soul live because of thee.
14 Ke el utyak nu in acn Egypt, mwet Egypt elos liye lah mutan se kial ah arulana oasku.
And it came to pass, when Abram was come into Egypt, that the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
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.
The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
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.
And he did well to Abram for her sake; and he received sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and she-asses, 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 plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife.
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 said, What is this thou hast done unto me? Why didst thou not tell me that she is thy 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 saidst thou, She is my sister? and so I took her to me for a wife; now, therefore, behold, here is thy wife, take her, and go thy way.
20 Tokosra el sap mwet lal ah in usalla Abram ac supwalla liki facl sac, wi mutan kial ac ma lal nukewa.
And Pharaoh commanded some men concerning him, who accompanied him and his wife, and all that he had.
