Olubereberye 12
1 Awo Mukama n’agamba Ibulaamu nti, “Vva mu nsi yannyo ne mu bantu bo ne mu nnyumba ya kitaawo ogende mu nsi gye ndikulaga.
And he said Yahweh to Abram go for yourself from land your and from kindred your and from [the] household of father your to the land which I will show you.
2 “Nange ndikufuula eggwanga eddene, era ndikuwa omukisa, n’erinnya lyo ne ndifuula kkulu, olyoke obeere mukisa.
So I may make you into a nation great and I will bless you and I will make great name your and you be a blessing.
3 Ndiwa omukisa abo abakusabira omukisa, era buli alikukolimira nange namukolimiranga; era mu ggwe amawanga gonna ag’omu nsi mwe galiweerwa omukisa.”
So let me bless [those who] bless you and [one who] disdains you I will curse and they will be blessed by you all [the] clans of the earth.
4 Bw’atyo Ibulaamu n’agenda nga Mukama bwe yamugamba, ne Lutti n’agenda wamu naye. Ibulaamu we yaviira mu Kalani yali aweza emyaka nsanvu mu etaano.
And he went Abram just as he had said to him Yahweh and he went with him Lot and Abram [was] a son of five years and seventy year[s] when came out he from Haran.
5 Ibulaamu n’atwala Salaayi mukazi we, ne Lutti mutabani wa muganda we ne byonna bye baalina bye baali bafunye, n’abantu baabwe be baafunira mu Kalani, ne basitula okugenda mu Kanani. Ne batuuka mu nsi ya Kanani.
And he took Abram Sarai wife his and Lot [the] son of brother his and all possession[s] their which they had accumulated and the person[s] whom they had acquired in Haran and they went out to go [the] land of towards Canaan and they came [the] land of towards Canaan.
6 Ibulaamu n’ayita mu nsi n’atuuka mu kifo ekiyitibwa Sekemu awali emivule gya Mole. Mu biro ebyo Abakanani be baali mu nsi omwo.
And he passed Abram in the land to [the] place of Shechem to [the] great tree of Moreh and the Canaanite[s] then [was] in the land.
7 Awo Mukama n’alabikira Ibulaamu n’agamba nti, “Ensi eno ndigiwa abo abaliva mu ggwe.” Awo Ibulaamu n’azimbira eyo Mukama ekyoto eyamulabikira.
And he appeared Yahweh to Abram and he said to offspring your I will give the land this and he built there an altar to Yahweh who had appeared to him.
8 Bw’atyo n’alaga ku lusozi ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba obwa Beseri, n’asimba eweema ye nga Beseri ali ku luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba, ne Ayi ngali ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba, n’azimbira eyo Mukama ekyoto, n’akoowoola erinnya lya Mukama.
And he moved on from there the hill country towards from [the] east of Beth-el and he pitched (tent his *Q(K)*) Beth-el [was] from [the] west and Ai [was] from [the] east and he built there an altar to Yahweh and he called on [the] name of Yahweh.
9 Ibulaamu ne yeeyongera okutambula ng’ayolekera Negevu.
And he journeyed Abram going and journeying the south towards.
10 Ne wagwa enjala mu nsi. Bw’atyo Ibulaamu n’aserengeta e Misiri asengukireko eyo, kubanga enjala nnyingi eyali mu nsi.
And it was a famine in the land and he went down Abram Egypt towards to sojourn there for [was] heavy the famine in the land.
11 Bwe yali anaatera okuyingira mu Misiri, n’agamba Salaayi mukazi we nti, “Mmanyi ng’oli mukazi mulungi era mubalagavu,
And it was just as he drew near to enter Egypt and he said to Sarai wife his here! please I know that [are] a woman beautiful of appearance you.
12 era Abamisiri bwe balikulabako baligamba nti, ‘Ono ye mukazi we,’ kale balinzita, naye ggwe ne bakuleka.
And it will be that they will see you the Egyptians and they will say [is] wife his this and they will kill me and you they will let live.
13 Ogambanga nti, Oli mwannyinaze ndyoke mbeere bulungi ku lulwo, n’obulamu bwange buleme kubaako kabi, buwone ku lulwo.”
Say please [are] sister my you so that it may go well for me for sake of you and it will live life my on account of you.
14 Ibulaamu bwe yayingira mu Misiri, Abamisiri ne balaba Salaayi nga mukazi mulungi nnyo.
And it was when entered Abram Egypt and they saw the Egyptians the woman that [was] beautiful she very.
15 N’abakungu ba Falaawo bwe baamulaba ne bamutendera Falaawo ne bamutwala mu lubiri lwa Falaawo.
And they saw her [the] officials of Pharaoh and they praised her to Pharaoh and she was taken the woman [the] house of Pharaoh.
16 Ku lwa Salaayi, Falaawo n’ayisa bulungi Ibulaamu. Ibulaamu n’aweebwa endiga, n’ente, n’endogoyi, n’abaweereza abasajja, n’abaweereza abakazi, n’endogoyi enkazi, n’eŋŋamira.
And to Abram he did good for sake of her and it be[longed] to him sheep and cattle and [male] donkeys and [male] servants and female servants and female donkeys and camels.
17 Naye Mukama n’aleetera Falaawo n’ennyumba ye endwadde enkambwe olwa Salaayi mukazi wa Ibulaamu.
And he struck Yahweh - Pharaoh plagues great and house his on [the] matter of Sarai [the] wife of Abram.
18 Awo Falaawo n’ayita Ibulaamu n’amugamba nti, “Kiki kino ky’onkoze? Lwaki tewantegeeza nti mukazi wo?
And he summoned Pharaoh Abram and he said what? this have you done to me why? not did you tell to me that [was] wife your she.
19 Lwaki wagamba nti mwannyoko, ne mmutwala okuba mukazi wange? Kale kaakano mukazi wo wuuno mmutwale mugende.”
Why? did you say [is] sister my she and I took her for myself to a wife and now here! wife your take [her] and go.
20 Falaawo n’alagira basajja be ebikwata ku Ibulaamu, ne bamusindiikiriza n’ava mu nsi ne mukazi we ne byonna bye yalina.
And he commanded on him Pharaoh men and they sent away him and wife his and all that [belonged] to him.
