1 Ka ko eni, kuo pehē ʻe Sihova kia ʻEpalame, “ʻAlu koe ʻi ho fonua, pea mei ho kāinga, pea mei he fale ʻo hoʻo tamai, ki ha fonua te u fakahā kiate koe:
Then the LORde sayd vnto Abra Gett the out of thy contre and from thy kynred and out of thy fathers house into a londe which I wyll shewe the.
2 Pea te u fakatupu ʻiate koe ha puleʻanga lahi, pea te u tāpuakiʻi koe, pea ngaohi ho hingoa ke lahi; pea te ke hoko ko e tāpuaki:
And I wyll make of the a myghtie people and wyll blesse the and make thy name grete that thou mayst be a blessinge.
3 Pea te u fakamonūʻia, ʻakinautolu ʻe tāpuakiʻi koe, pea fakamalaʻia ia ʻe kapeʻi koe: pea ʻe monūʻia ʻiate koe ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo māmani.”
And I wyll blesse the that blesse the ad curse the that curse the. And in the shall be blessed all the generations of the erth.
4 Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻEpalame, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova kiate ia; pea ʻalu ʻa Lote mo ia: pea naʻe fitungofulu ma nima taʻu ʻae motuʻa ʻo ʻEpalame ʻi heʻene ʻalu mei Halani.
And Abram wet as the LORde badd hym and Lot went wyth him. Abram was. lxxv. yere olde when he went out of Haran.
5 Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe ʻEpalame ʻa hono uaifi ko Selai, mo Lote ko e foha ʻo hono tokoua, mo e nau ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē kuo nau tānaki, mo e kakai kuo nau maʻu ʻi Halani; pea naʻa nau ʻalu atu ke fononga ki he fonua ko Kēnani; pea naʻa nau hoko ai ki he fonua ko Kēnani.
And Abram toke Sarai his wyfe ad Lot his brothers sonne wyth all their goodes which they had goten and soulles which they had begoten in Haran. And they departed to goo in to the lade of Chanaan. And when they were come in to the lande of Chanaan
6 Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa ʻEpalame ʻi he fonua ki he potu ʻo Sikemi, ki he potu ʻakauʻia ʻo Mole. Pea ko e kakai Kēnani naʻe ʻi he fonua ʻi he kuonga ko ia.
Abram went furth in to the lade tyll he came vnto a place called Sychem and vnto the oke of More. And the Canaanytes dwelled then in the lande.
7 Pea naʻe hā mai ʻa Sihova kia ʻEpalame, ʻo ne pehē, “Te u foaki ʻae fonua ni ki ho hako:” pea naʻe fokotuʻu ai ʻe ia ʻae ʻesifeilaulau kia Sihova, ʻaia naʻe hā kiate ia.
Then the LORde apeared vnto Abram ad sayd: vnto thy seed wyll I geue thys lade. And he buylded an aultere there vnto the LORDE which apeared to hym.
8 Pea naʻe hiki ia mei ai ki ha moʻunga ʻi he potu hahake ʻo Peteli, pea ne fokotuʻu hono fale fehikitaki, ʻoku ʻi hihifo ʻa Peteli, mo ʻAi ʻi hahake: pea ne fokotuʻu ai ʻae ʻesifeilaulau kia Sihova, pea ui ʻe ia ki he huafa ʻo Sihova.
Then departed he thence vnto a mountayne that lyeth on the east syde of BETHEL and pytched hys tente: BETHEL beynge on the west syde and Ay on the east: And he buylded there an aulter vnto the LORde and called on the name of ye LORde.
9 Pea naʻe fononga ʻa ʻEpalame, ʻo ne kei ʻalu atu ki he feituʻu tonga.
And than Abram departed and toke his iourney southwarde
10 Pea naʻe hoko ʻae honge ʻi he fonua: pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻa ʻEpalame ki ʻIsipite ke nofo ai: he kuo lahi ʻae honge ʻi he fonua.
After thys there came a derth in the lande. And Abram went doune in to Egipte to soiourne there for the derth was sore in the lande.
11 Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi heʻene hoko ʻo ofi atu ki ʻIsipite, naʻe pehē ʻe ia kia Selai ko hono uaifi, “Vakai mai, ʻoku ou ʻilo ko e fefine hoihoifua koe ke sio ki ai:
And when he was come nye for to entre in to Egipte he sayd vnto sarai his wife. Beholde I knowe that thou art a fayre woman to loke apo.
12 Pea ko ia, ka mamata ʻae kakai ʻIsipite kiate koe, te nau pehē, ‘Ko hono uaifi eni:’ pea te nau tāmateʻi au, ka te nau fakamoʻui koe.
It wyll come to passe therfore whe the Egiptians see the that they wyll say: she is his wyfe. And so shall they sley me and save the.
13 ‌ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke pehē, ko hoku tuofefine koe: kae lelei ai au koeʻuhi ko koe; pea ʻe moʻui ʻa hoku laumālie koeʻuhi ko koe.”
saye I praye the therfore that thou art my sister that I maye fare the better by reason of the and that my soule maye lyue for thy sake.
14 Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi he ʻalu atu ʻa ʻEpalame ki ʻIsipite, naʻe vakai ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite ki he hoihoifua ʻaupito ʻoe fefine.
As soone as he came in to Egipte the Egiptias sawe the woman that she was very fayre.
15 Naʻe mamata foki kiate ia ʻae houʻeiki ʻa Felo, pea naʻa nau fakaongolelei ia kia Felo: pea naʻe ʻave ʻae fefine ki he fale ʻo Felo.
And Pharaos lordes sawe hir also and praysed hir vnto Pharao: So that she was taken in to Pharaos house
16 Pea naʻe fai lelei ʻe ia kia ʻEpalame koeʻuhi ko ia: pea naʻa ne maʻu ʻae fanga sipi, mo e fanga manu, mo e fanga ʻasi tangata, mo e kau tamaioʻeiki, mo e kau kaunanga, mo e fanga ʻasi fefine, mo e fanga kāmeli.
which entreated Abram well for hir sake so that he had shepe oxsen ad he asses men seruantes mayde seruates she asses and camels.
17 Pea naʻe tautea ʻe Sihova ʻa Felo mo hono fale ʻaki ʻae ngaahi hangatāmaki lahi koeʻuhi ko Selai ko e uaifi ʻo ʻEpalame.
But God plaged Pharao and his house wyth grete plages because of Sarai Abrams wyfe.
18 Pea naʻe ui ʻa Felo kia ʻEpalame, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko e hā eni kuo ke fai kiate au? Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai ai te ke tala mai ko ho uaifi ia?
Then Pharao called Abram and sayd: why hast thou thus dealt with me? Wherfore toldest thou me not that she was thy wyfe?
19 Ko e hā naʻa ke pehē ai, ‘Ko hoku tuofefine eni?’ Ne u meimei maʻu ia ko e uaifi kiate au; pea ko eni, vakai ki ho uaifi, ʻave ia pea ke ʻalu.”
Why saydest thou that she was thy sister and causedest me to take hyr to my wyfe? But now loo there is the wife take hir ad be walkynge.
20 Pea naʻe fonosi ʻe Felo ki heʻene kau tangata koeʻuhi ko ia: pea naʻa nau fekau ia ke ʻalu, mo hono uaifi, mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne maʻu.
