Genesisy 12
1 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Abrama: Mandehana miala amin’ ny taninao sy ny havanao ary ny tranon’ ny rainao hankany amin’ ny tany izay hasehoko anao;
And Jehovah had said to Abram, Go out of thy land, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, to the land that I will shew thee.
2 dia hahatonga anao ho firenena lehibe Aho sady hitahy anao sy hahalehibe ny anaranao; ary ho fitahiana tokoa ianao;
And I will make of thee a great nation, and bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing.
3 ary hitahy izay manisy soa anao Aho, fa hanozona izay manozona anao; ary aminao no hitahiana ny firenena rehetra ambonin’ ny tany.
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee; and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
4 Dia nandeha Abrama araka izay efa nolazain’ i Jehovah taminy, ary Lota koa mba niaraka taminy. Ary efa dimy amby fito-polo taona Abrama, raha niala tao Harana izy.
And Abram departed as Jehovah had said to him. And Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed out of Haran.
5 Ary Abrama nitondra an’ i Saray vadiny sy Lota zana-drahalahiny mbamin’ ny fananan’ izy rehetra izay efa nohariny sy ny olona izay efa azony tao Harana; dia niainga izy ireo hankany amin’ ny tany Kanana, ka tonga tany amin’ ny tany Kanana izy.
And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their possessions that they had acquired, and the souls that they had obtained in Haran, and they went out to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
6 Ary Abrama dia nitety ny tany hatrany Sekema, dia tao an-kazo terebintan’ i More. Ary ny Kananita no tompon-tany tany Kanana fahizay.
And Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
7 Ary Jehovah niseho tamin’ i Abrama ka nanao hoe: Ny taranakao no homeko ity tany ity. Dia nanorina alitara teo izy ho an’ i Jehovah Izay niseho taminy.
And Jehovah appeared to Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land. And there he built an altar to Jehovah who had appeared to him.
8 Ary nifindra niala teo izy hankany amin’ ny tendrombohitra atsinanan’ i Betela ka nanorina ny lainy teo anelanelan’ i Betela tao andrefany sy Ay tao atsinanany; dia nanorina alitara teo koa ho an’ i Jehovah izy ka niantso ny anaran’ i Jehovah.
And he removed thence towards the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, [having] Bethel toward the west, and Ai toward the east; and there he built an altar to Jehovah, and called on the name of Jehovah.
9 Ary nifindra Abrama ka nandroso niandalana ho any amin’ ny tany atsimo.
And Abram moved onward, going on still toward the south.
10 Ary nisy mosary teo amin’ ny tany; ary Abrama dia nidina nankany Egypta hivahiny any, fa mafy ny mosary teo amin’ ny tany.
And there was a famine in the land. And Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine was grievous in the land.
11 Ary rehefa nadiva ho tonga tany Egypta izy, dia hoy izy tamin’ i Saray vadiny: Indro, fantatro fa vehivavy tsara tarehy ianao,
And it came to pass when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a woman fair to look upon.
12 ka, raha hitan’ ny Egyptiana, dia hataony hoe: Vadiny io; ka hovonoiny aho, fa ianao kosa hovelominy.
And it will come to pass when the Egyptians see thee, that they will say, She is his wife; and they will slay me, and save thee alive.
13 Masìna ianao, lazao fa anabaviko ianao, mba hasiany soa aho noho ny aminao, ka ianao no hamelomany ahy.
Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister, that it may be well with me on thy account, and my soul may live because of thee.
14 Ary rehefa tonga tany Egypta Abrama, dia hitan’ ny Egyptiana fa tsara tarehy indrindra ravehivavy.
And it came to pass when Abram came into Egypt, that the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
15 Ary nahita azy ny tandapan’ i Farao ka nidera azy tamin’ i Farao; dia nentina tao an-tranon’ i Farao izy.
And the princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
16 Ary Abrama nasian’ i Farao soa noho ny amin’ i Saray; dia nahazo ondry sy omby sy borikilahy sy andevolahy sy andevovavy sy borikivavy sy rameva izy.
And he treated Abram well on her account; and he had sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and bondmen, and bondwomen, and she-asses, and camels.
17 Dia nasian’ i Jehovah areti-mandoza Farao sy ny ankohonany noho ny amin’ i Saray, vadin’ i Abrama.
And Jehovah plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.
18 Ary Farao dia nampaka an’ i Abrama ka nanao hoe: Inona izao nataonao tamiko izao? Nahoana no tsy nambaranao tamiko fa vadinao izy?
And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this thou hast done to me? Why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?
19 Nahoana ianao no nanao hoe: Anabaviko izy? ka nalaiko ho vady izy; koa ankehitriny, indro ny vadinao, ento izy, ka mandehana.
Why didst thou say, She is my sister, so that I took her as my wife. And now, behold, there is thy wife: take [her], and go away.
20 Dia nomen’ i Farao teny ny mpanompony sasany ny amin’ i Abrama; ary dia nanatitra azy sy ny vadiny mbamin’ ny fananany rehetra ireo.
And Pharaoh commanded [his] men concerning him, and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
