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 said to Abram, “Leave your country, and your relatives, and your father’s house, and go to 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.
I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. 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 I will curse him who treats you with contempt. 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 went, as the LORD had told him. 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,
Abram took Sarai his wife, Lot his brother’s son, all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people whom they had acquired in Haran, and they went to go into the land of Canaan. They entered 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.)
Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time, 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,
The LORD appeared to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your offspring.” He 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.
He left from there to go 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 to the LORD and called on the LORD’s name.
9 Na el sifilpa fahsr sun acn puspis ke el fahsr in som nu tafunyen eir in acn Canaan.
Abram traveled, 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.
There was a famine in the land. Abram went down into Egypt to live as a foreigner there, for the famine was severe in the land.
11 Ke el akola in tupalla masrol nu Egypt, el fahk nu sel Sarai, mutan kial, “Kom mutan na oasku se.
When he had come near to enter Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, “See now, I know that you are a beautiful woman to look at.
12 Mwet Egypt ah fin liye kom, elos ac luma mu ma kiuk pa kom, na elos ac uniyuwi ac eiskomla.
It will happen that when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ They will kill me, but they will save you alive.
13 Fahk nu selos mu ma wiuk pa kom, elos in mau tia uniyuwi, a oru wo nu sik.”
Please say that you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that my soul may live because of you.”
14 Ke el utyak nu in acn Egypt, mwet Egypt elos liye lah mutan se kial ah arulana oasku.
When Abram had come into Egypt, some 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.
The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised 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.
He dealt well with Abram for her sake. He had sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, 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.
The LORD afflicted 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?
Pharaoh called Abram and said, “What is this that you have done to me? Why didn’t you tell me that 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 to be my wife? Now therefore, see your wife, take her, and go your way.”
20 Tokosra el sap mwet lal ah in usalla Abram ac supwalla liki facl sac, wi mutan kial ac ma lal nukewa.
Pharaoh commanded men concerning him, and they escorted him away with his wife and all that he had.
