1 Rabbigu wuxuu Aabraam ku yidhi, Ka tag waddankaaga, iyo xigaalkaaga, iyo reerka aabbahaaba, oo dalka aan ku tusi doono u kac.
Then the Lord said to Abram: “Depart from your land, and from your kindred, and from your father’s house, and come into the land that I will show you.
2 Oo quruun weyn baan kaa dhigi doonaa, oo waan ku barakayn doonaa, magacaagana waan weynayn doonaa; oo waxaad noqon doontaa barako;
And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and magnify your name, and you will be blessed.
3 oo waan barakayn doonaa kuwa kuu duceeya, kan ku habaarana waan habaari doonaa: oo qabiilooyinka dhulka oo dhammu adigay kugu barakoobi doonaan.
I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you, and in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.”
4 Markaasaa Aabraam tegey, sidii Rabbigu ku yidhi; Luudna wuu raacay. Aabraam shan iyo toddobaatan sannadood buu jiray markuu Haaraan ka tegey.
And so Abram departed just as the Lord had instructed him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.
5 Aabraamna wuxuu kaxaystay naagtiisii Saaray, iyo Luud oo ahaa wiilkii walaalkiis, iyo xoolahoodii ay urursadeen oo dhan, iyo dadkii ay Haaraan ka heleen oo dhan; kolkaasay u kaceen dalkii Kancaan, oo waxay yimaadeen dalkii Kancaan.
And he took his wife Sarai, and Lot, the son of his brother, and all the substance which they had come to possess, and the lives which they had acquired in Haran, and they departed in order to go to the land of Canaan. And when they arrived in it,
6 Aabraamna dalkii buu dhex maray ilaa meeshii la odhan jiray Shekem iyo tan iyo geedkii Moreh. Wakhtigaasna reer Kancaan dalkay joogeen.
Abram passed through the land even to the place of Shechem, as far as the famous steep valley. Now at that time, the Canaanite was in the land.
7 Oo Ilaah baa Aabraam u muuqday, oo ku yidhi, Dalkan farcankaagaan siin doonaa. Kolkaasuu meeshaas meel allabari uga dhisay Rabbigii u muuqday.
Then the Lord appeared to Abram, and he said to him, “To your offspring, I will give this land.” And there he built an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him.
8 Markaasuu meeshaas ka guuray, oo wuxuu tegey buurtii xagga bari ka ahayd Beytel, oo teendhadiisii buu ka dhistay meel Beytel galbeed ka ahayd, Aaciina bari ka ahayd; markaasuu meeshaas meel allabari Rabbiga uga dhisay, oo magaca Rabbiga ku baryootamay.
And passing on from there to a mountain, which was opposite the east of Bethel, he pitched his tent there, having Bethel to the west, and Hai on the east. He also built an altar there to the Lord, and he called upon his name.
9 Kolkaasaa Aabraam socdaalay, isagoo weli xagga koonfureed u sii socda.
And Abram traveled, going out and continuing further on, toward the south.
10 Kolkaasaa dhulkii abaari ka dhacday: markaasuu Aabraam Masar tegey; inuu halkaas qariib ku ahaado, waayo, abaartii aad bay dhulkii ugu xumayd.
But a famine occurred in the land. And Abram descended to Egypt, to sojourn there. For famine prevailed over the land.
11 Oo waxay noqotay in markii uu ku soo dhowaaday inuu Masar galo, uu ku yidhi naagtiisii Saaray, Bal eeg, waan ogahay inaad tahay naag arag quruxsan,
And when he was close to entering Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai: “I know you to be a beautiful woman.
12 oo waxaa dhici doona in markii ay Masriyiintu ku arkaan, ay odhan doonaan, Waa naagtiisii tanu. Oo way i dili doonaan, laakiin adiga way ku dayn doonaan.
And when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘She is his wife.’ And they will put me to death, and retain you.
13 Waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Walaashiis baan ahay; si ay iigu roonaadaan adiga aawadaa, oo ay naftaydu daraaddaa u noolaato.
Therefore, I beg you to say that you are my sister, so that it may be well with me because of you, and so that my soul may live by your favor.”
14 Oo waxay noqotay in markii Aabraam Masar soo galay, ay Masriyiintii arkeen in naagtu aad u quruxsan tahay.
And so, when Abram had arrived in Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was exceedingly beautiful.
15 Oo amiirradii Fircoon baa arkay, oo Fircoon bay u ammaaneen iyadii, oo naagtii waxaa loo kaxeeyey gurigii Fircoon.
And the princes reported it to Pharaoh, and they praised her to him. And the woman was inducted into the house of Pharaoh.
16 Isaguna Aabraam si wanaagsan buu u qabtay iyada aawadeed: wuxuuna lahaa ido, iyo dibiyo, iyo dameerro lab, iyo niman addoommo ah, iyo naago addoommo ah, iyo dameerro dhaddig iyo geel.
In truth, they treated Abram well because of her. And he had sheep and oxen and male donkeys, and men servants, and women servants, and female donkeys, and camels.
17 Oo Rabbigu belaayooyin waaweyn buu ku riday Fircoon iyo reerkiisiiba, Saaray oo naagtii Aabraam ahayd aawadeed.
But the Lord scourged Pharaoh and his house with great wounds because of Sarai, the wife of Abram.
18 Fircoonna Aabraam buu u yeedhay, oo ku yidhi, Waa maxay waxan aad igu samaysay? Maxaad iigu sheegi weyday inay tahay naagtaadii?
And Pharaoh called Abram, and he said to him: “What is this that you have done to me? Why did you not tell me she was your wife?
19 Maxaad u tidhi, Waa walaashay si aan u guursado iyada? Haddaba waa tan naagtaadii, kaxayso oo iska tag.
For what reason did you claim her to be your sister, so that I would take her to me as a wife? Now therefore, behold your mate, receive her and go.”
20 Fircoonna niman buu u soo amray isaga: wayna soo ambabbixiyeen isagii iyo naagtiisii, iyo wuxuu haystay oo dhan.
And Pharaoh instructed his men about Abram. And they led him away with his wife and all that he had.
