Uumama 12
1 Waaqayyo Abraamiin akkana jedhe; “Biyya kee, saba keetii fi mana abbaa keetii dhiisiitii gara biyya ani si argisiisuu dhaqi.
Now the Lord said to Abram, Go out from your country and from your family and from your father's house, into the land to which I will be your guide:
2 “Ani saba guddaa sin taasisa; sin eebbisas; maqaa kee illee guddaa nan taasisa; atis eebba taataa.
And I will make of you a great nation, blessing you and making your name great; and you will be a blessing:
3 Ani warra si eebbisan nan eebbisa; warra si abaaran nan abaara; sabni lafa irraa hundinuu karaa keetiin eebbifama.”
To them who are good to you will I give blessing, and on him who does you wrong will I put my curse: and you will become a name of blessing to all the families of the earth.
4 Kanaafuu Abraam akkuma Waaqayyo isatti himetti kaʼee deeme; Looxis isa wajjin deeme. Abraam yeroo Kaaraanii baʼetti nama waggaa torbaatamii shan ture.
So Abram went as the Lord had said to him, and Lot went with him: Abram was seventy-five years old when he went away from Haran.
5 Innis niitii isaa Saaraa, ilma obboleessa isaa Loox, qabeenya walitti kuufatan hundumaa fi namoota Kaaraanitti argatan hundumaa qabatee Kanaʼaan dhaquuf kaʼe; isaanis achi gaʼan.
And Abram took Sarai, his wife, and Lot, his brother's son, and all their goods and the servants which they had got in Haran, and they went out to go to the land of Canaan.
6 Abraamis hamma qilxuu Mooree kan Sheekem keessatti argamuutti biyyattii keessa deeme. Yeroo sana warri Kanaʼaan biyya sana keessa turan.
And Abram went through the land till he came to Shechem, to the holy tree of Moreh. At that time, the Canaanites were still living in the land.
7 Waaqayyo Abraamitti mulʼatee, “Ani biyya kana sanyii keetiif nan kenna” jedheen. Kanaafuu inni achitti Waaqayyo isatti mulʼate sanaaf iddoo aarsaa ijaare.
And the Lord came to Abram, and said, I will give all this land to your seed; then Abram made an altar there to the Lord who had let himself be seen by him.
8 Achii kaʼee gara gaarran Beetʼeel irraa gara baʼa biiftuutti argamanii deemee Beetʼeelin gara lixa biiftuutti, Aayin immoo gara baʼa biiftuutti hambisee dunkaana isaa dhaabbate. Achitti Waaqayyoof iddoo aarsaa ijaaree maqaa Waaqayyoo waammate.
And moving on from there to the mountain on the east of Beth-el, he put up his tent, having Beth-el on the west and Ai on the east: and there he made an altar and gave worship to the name of the Lord.
9 Abraam ergasii kaʼee gara Negeebitti karaa isaa itti fufe.
And he went on, journeying still to the South.
10 Bara sana beelli biyya sanatti buʼee ture; beelli sun waan hammaateef Abraam achi jiraachuuf jedhee Gibxitti gad buʼe.
And because there was little food to be had in that land, he went down into Egypt.
11 Innis yeroo Gibxi seenuu gaʼetti niitii isaa Saaraan akkana jedhe; “Ani akka ati dubartii bareedduu taate nan beeka.
Now when he came near to Egypt, he said to Sarai, his wife, Truly, you are a fair woman and beautiful to the eye;
12 Warri Gibxi yommuu si argan, ‘Kun niitii isaa ti’ jedhanii na ajjeesu; siʼi immoo ni hambisu.
And I am certain that when the men of Egypt see you, they will say, This is his wife: and they will put me to death and keep you.
13 Akka isaan siif jedhanii haala tolaan na ilaalanii fi akka lubbuun koos sababii keetiin duʼa ooltuuf maaloo, ‘Ani obboleettii isaa ti’ jedhi.”
Say, then, that you are my sister, and so it will be well with me because of you, and my life will be kept safe on your account.
14 Yeroo Abraam Gibxi seenettis warri Gibxi akka Sooraan dubartii baayʼee bareedduu taate argan.
And so it was that when Abram came into Egypt, the men of Egypt, looking on the woman, saw that she was fair.
15 Qondaaltonni Faraʼooniis yommuu ishee arganitti ishee jajanii Faraʼoonitti himan; isheenis masaraa mootummaa Faraʼooniitti geeffamte.
And Pharaoh's great men, having seen her, said words in praise of her to Pharaoh, and she was taken into Pharaoh's house.
16 Faraʼoon sababii isheetiif jedhee Abraamin haala tolaadhaan ilaale; Abraamis hoolotaa fi loon, harroota korommii fi dhaltuu, tajaajiltoota dhiiraa dubartii, gaalas argate.
And because of her, he was good to Abram, and he had sheep and oxen and asses, and men-servants and women-servants, and camels.
17 Waaqayyo garuu sababii niitii Abraam, sababii Saaraatiif jedhee Faraʼoonii fi warra mana isaa jiraatan dhukkuba hamaan dhaʼe.
And the Lord sent great troubles on Pharaoh's house because of Sarai, Abram's wife.
18 Kanaafuu Faraʼoon Abraamin ofitti waamee akkana jedheen; “Ati maal natti hojjette? Akka isheen niitii kee taate maaliif natti hin himin?
Then Pharaoh sent for Abram, and said, What have you done to me? why did you not say that she was your wife?
19 Ati maaliif, ‘Isheen obboleettii koo ti’ jettee, akka ani niitummaaf ishee fudhadhu na goote? Ammas niitiin kee kunoo ti; ishee fudhadhuu deemi!”
Why did you say that she was your sister? so that I took her for my wife: now, take your wife and go on your way.
20 Faraʼoonis waaʼee Abraam irratti namoota isaa ajaje; isaanis Abraamii fi niitii isaa, waan inni qabu hunda wajjin geggeessan.
And Pharaoh gave orders to his men, and they sent him on his way, with his wife and all he had.
