1 Olúwa sì wí fún Abramu, “Jáde kúrò ní orílẹ̀-èdè rẹ àti kúrò lọ́dọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn rẹ, lọ sí ilẹ̀ kan tí èmi yóò fihàn ọ́.
Now the LORD said to Abram, “Leave your country, and your relatives, and your father’s house, and go to the land that I will show you.
2 “Èmi yóò sọ ọ́ di orílẹ̀-èdè ńlá, èmi yóò sì bùkún fún ọ; èmi yóò sọ orúkọ rẹ di ńlá, ìbùkún ni ìwọ yóò sì jásí.
I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing.
3 Èmi yóò bùkún fún àwọn tí ó súre fún ọ, ẹni tí ó fi ọ́ ré ni Èmi yóò fi ré; nínú rẹ ni a ó bùkún gbogbo ìdílé ayé.”
I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who treats you with contempt. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you.”
4 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Abramu lọ bí Olúwa ti sọ fún un. Lọti náà sì bá a lọ. Abramu jẹ́ ẹni àrùndínlọ́gọ́rin ọdún nígbà tí ó jáde kúrò ní Harani.
So Abram went, as the LORD had told him. Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.
5 Abramu sì mú Sarai aya rẹ̀, àti Lọti ọmọ arákùnrin rẹ̀: gbogbo ohun ìní tí wọ́n ti kójọ àti àwọn ènìyàn tí wọ́n ní ní Harani. Wọ́n sì jáde lọ sí ilẹ̀ Kenaani. Wọ́n sì gúnlẹ̀ síbẹ̀.
Abram took Sarai his wife, Lot his brother’s son, all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people whom they had acquired in Haran, and they went to go into the land of Canaan. They entered into the land of Canaan.
6 Abramu sì rìn la ilẹ̀ náà já títí dé ibi igi ńlá kan tí à ń pè ni More ní Ṣekemu. Àwọn ará Kenaani sì wà ní ilẹ̀ náà.
Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time, Canaanites were in the land.
7 Olúwa sì farahan Abramu, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Irú-ọmọ rẹ ni Èmi yóò fi ilẹ̀ yìí fún.” Abramu tẹ́ pẹpẹ kan síbẹ̀ fún Olúwa tí ó fi ara hàn án.
The LORD appeared to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your offspring.” He built an altar there to the LORD, who had appeared to him.
8 Ó sì kúrò níbẹ̀ lọ sí agbègbè àwọn òkè kan ní ìhà ìlà-oòrùn Beteli, ó sì pàgọ́ rẹ̀ síbẹ̀. Beteli wà ní ìwọ̀-oòrùn, Ai wà ní ìlà-oòrùn. Ó tẹ́ pẹpẹ kan níbẹ̀ fún Olúwa, ó sì ké pe orúkọ Olúwa.
He left from there to go to the mountain on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to the LORD and called on the LORD’s name.
9 Nígbà náà ni Abramu tẹ̀síwájú sí ìhà gúúsù.
Abram traveled, still going on toward the South.
10 Ìyàn kan sì mú ní ilẹ̀ náà, Abramu sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Ejibiti láti ṣe àtìpó níbẹ̀ fún ìgbà díẹ̀, nítorí ìyàn náà mú gidigidi.
There was a famine in the land. Abram went down into Egypt to live as a foreigner there, for the famine was severe in the land.
11 Bí ó ti ku díẹ̀ kí ó wọ Ejibiti, ó wí fún Sarai, aya rẹ̀ pé, “Mo mọ̀ pé arẹwà obìnrin ni ìwọ,
When he had come near to enter Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, “See now, I know that you are a beautiful woman to look at.
12 nígbà tí àwọn ará Ejibiti bá rí ọ, wọn yóò wí pé, ‘Aya rẹ̀ nìyí.’ Wọn yóò si pa mí, ṣùgbọ́n wọn yóò dá ọ sí.
It will happen that when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ They will kill me, but they will save you alive.
13 Nítorí náà, sọ pé, arábìnrin mi ni ìwọ, wọn yóò sì ṣe mí dáradára, a ó sì dá ẹ̀mí mi sí nítorí tìrẹ.”
Please say that you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that my soul may live because of you.”
14 Nígbà tí Abramu dé Ejibiti, àwọn ará Ejibiti ri i pé aya rẹ̀ rẹwà gidigidi.
When Abram had come into Egypt, some Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.
15 Nígbà tí àwọn ìjòyè Farao sì rí i, wọ́n ròyìn rẹ̀ níwájú Farao, wọ́n sì mú un lọ sí ààfin.
The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.
16 Ó sì kẹ́ Abramu dáradára nítorí Sarai, Abramu sì ní àgùntàn àti màlúù, akọ àti abo kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́, ìránṣẹ́kùnrin àti ìránṣẹ́bìnrin, pẹ̀lú ìbákasẹ.
He dealt well with Abram for her sake. He had sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.
17 Olúwa sì rán àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn búburú sí Farao àti ilé rẹ̀, nítorí Sarai aya Abramu.
The LORD afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.
18 Nítorí náà Farao ránṣẹ́ pe Abramu, ó sì wí fun pé, “Èwo ni ìwọ ṣe sí mi yìí? Kí ló dé tí ìwọ kò sọ fún mi pé aya rẹ ní í ṣe?
Pharaoh called Abram and said, “What is this that you have done to me? Why did not you tell me that she was your wife?
19 Èéṣe tí o fi wí pé, ‘Arábìnrin mi ni,’ tí èmi sì fi fẹ́ ẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí aya? Nítorí náà nísinsin yìí, aya rẹ náà nìyí, mú un kí o sì máa lọ.”
Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her to be my wife? Now therefore, see your wife, take her, and go your way.”
20 Nígbà náà ni Farao pàṣẹ fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ nípa Abramu, wọ́n sì lé e jáde ti òun ti aya rẹ̀ àti ohun gbogbo tí ó ní.
Pharaoh commanded men concerning him, and they escorted him away with his wife and all that he had.
