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;
Now the LORD had said to Abram, Depart from thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, to a land that I will show 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 I will 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.
So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken to him, and Lot went with him: and Abram [was] seventy and five years old when he departed from 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 substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went to go forth 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 Sichem, to the plain 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 the LORD appeared to Abram, and said, To thy seed will I give this land: and there he erected an altar to the LORD, who 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 from thence to a mountain on the east of Beth-el, and pitched his tent, [having] Beth-el on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he erected an altar to the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD.
9 Ary nifindra Abrama ka nandroso niandalana ho any amin’ ny tany atsimo.
And Abram journeyed, going on still towards 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 into Egypt to dwell 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 had come near to enter into Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou [art] a fair woman to look upon:
12 ka, raha hitan’ ny Egyptiana, dia hataony hoe: Vadiny io; ka hovonoiny aho, fa ianao kosa hovelominy.
Therefore it will come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they will say, This [is] his wife: and they will kill me, but they will 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 for thy sake; and my soul shall 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, that when Abram had come into Egypt, 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.
The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before 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 for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and men-servants, and maid-servants, 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 the LORD afflicted 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 [that] thou hast done to me? why didst thou not tell me that she [is] 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 saidst thou, She [is] my sister? so I might have taken her to me for a wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take [her], and go thy way.
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.
