Genesis 12
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.
And Yahweh said unto Abram: Come thou on thy way, Out of thy land and out of the place of thy birth and out of the house of thy father, —Unto the land that I will show thee;
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.
That I may make thee into a great nation, And bless thee and make great thy name, And become thou 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.”
That I may bless them who bless thee, But him who maketh light of thee, will I curse, —So shall be, blessed in thee, all the families of the ground.
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.
And Abram came on his way, according to that which Yahweh had spoken unto him, and Lot came with him, —now, Abram, was seventy-five years old, when he came forth out of 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.
And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, with all the goods that they had gathered and the souls that they had gained in Haran, —and they came forth to go towards the land of Canaan, and came in to 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.
And Abram passed along throughout the land, as far as the place of Shechem as far as the Teacher’s Terebinth, the Canaanite being then 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.
And Yahweh appeared unto Abram, and said: To thy seed, will I give this land, —And he built there an altar, unto Yahweh who appeared unto 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.
And he moved on from thence towards the hill country, on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, —with Bethel on the west, and Ai on the east, and built there an altar to Yahweh, and called on the name of Yahweh.
9 Nígbà náà ni Abramu tẹ̀síwájú sí ìhà gúúsù.
Thus Abram brake up, again and again, towards 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.
And it came to pass that there was a famine, in the land, —so Abram went down towards Egypt, to sojourn there, because grievous, was the famine 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,
And it came to pass when he had come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife: Behold! I beseech thee I know that a woman fair to look on, thou art:
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.
so will it come to pass when the Egyptians behold thee, that they will say, His wife, this! and will slay me while thee, they preserve 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.”
Say, I beseech thee that my sister, art thou, —to the end it may be well with me for thy sake, so shall my soul be preserved alive because of thee.
14 Nígbà tí Abramu dé Ejibiti, àwọn ará Ejibiti ri i pé aya rẹ̀ rẹwà gidigidi.
And so it was when Abram entered into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman, that fair, was she exceedingly.
15 Nígbà tí àwọn ìjòyè Farao sì rí i, wọ́n ròyìn rẹ̀ níwájú Farao, wọ́n sì mú un lọ sí ààfin.
And the princes of Pharaoh beheld her, and praised her unto Pharaoh, —so the woman was taken to the house of Pharaoh;
16 Ó sì kẹ́ Abramu dáradára nítorí Sarai, Abramu sì ní àgùntàn àti màlúù, akọ àti abo kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́, ìránṣẹ́kùnrin àti ìránṣẹ́bìnrin, pẹ̀lú ìbákasẹ.
and with Abram, dealt he well for her sake, —so that he came to have flocks and herds and he-asses, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and she-asses and camels.
17 Olúwa sì rán àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn búburú sí Farao àti ilé rẹ̀, nítorí Sarai aya Abramu.
And Yahweh plagued Pharaoh with great plagues, also his house, —for the matter of Sarai, wife of Abram.
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?
And Pharaoh called out to Abram, and said, What is this thou hast done to me? Wherefore didst thou not tell me, that she was, thy 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.”
Wherefore saidst thou My sister, she; and so I was about to take her to me, to wife? But now, lo! thy wife take her and go thy 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.
And Pharaoh gave command concerning him unto certain men, —and sent him away, with his wife and all that he had.
