< Genesis 12 >

1 Now Yahweh said to Abram, “Leave your country, and your relatives, and your father’s house, and go to the land that I will show you.
Pathen in Abram chu ana houlimpi in “Nagam, na insung mite, na sopiho chule napa sopi ho dalhan keiman gamthah ka musah ding khu jon tan,” ati.
2 I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing.
Keiman nang hi nam lentah kasoding nahiye; chule keiman nangma phatthei kaboh ding chule namin kaki than sah ding chule midangho phatthei chan na nahi ding ahi.
3 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.”
Chule nangman phathei naboh ho chu phathei chang diu, chule nangman na sapset techu ka sapset ding; chule nangma jeh a leiset chunga phung nam kim phatthei chang ding ahiuve.
4 So Abram went, as Yahweh had told him. Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.
Hichun Pathen in athu mop dung jui chun Abram chu akichon in, chule Lot in ama aki lhonpi in. Abram chu Haran dalha a akichon doh chun akum kum somsagi le kum nga ana lhing tan ahi.
5 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.
Aji ngaitah Sarai, asopi pa Lot, anei agou, agam jouse toh, agancha jouse, chule Haran a ana um laiya a insungmi ana kisemdoh chengse chu aki puiyin Canaan lam ajon tauve.
6 Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time, Canaanites were in the land.
Abram in alamjot'na a Shechem chu ahopa in saotah ajot un, hiche achun ngah mun Moreh thingphung kom ah akinga uvin hiche mun chu Canaan mihon ana lodim un ahi.
7 Yahweh appeared to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your offspring.” He built an altar there to Yahweh, who had appeared to him.
Hichun Pathenin Abram chu akimupi'n “Keiman hiche gamhi na chilhahte kapeh ding ahiye,” hichun Abram injong ahenga hung kilah Pakaiya ding in hiche muna chun maicham khat asem in ahi.
8 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 Yahweh and called on Yahweh’s name.
Phat chomkhat jou chun, Abram in noilam gam ahin jon in kingah na mun ding thinglhang lam'ah asem doh in hichu nilhum lama Bethel khopi, niso lam a Ai khopi, akah achun ponbuh akison in akinga in, hiche mun achun aman Pakaiya dingin maicham khat asem in chule Pakai min in atao tai.
9 Abram traveled, still going on toward the South.
Hichun Abram chu noilam'a ahung chalbe ben Negev lam jonin ache paiye.
10 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.
Hiche lai phat dontah chun Canaan gam sunga nasatah in kel alhan, Abram chu Egypt ma chelou thei ahi tapon, hikom achun Abram chu gampam mi vaitah in ana um'in ahi.
11 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.
Abram chu ahung suh deu vin Egypt gamgi ahung lhun phat chun, Abram in ajinu Sarai jah achun aseiyin, Sarai “Ven nangma hi numei melhoi tah nahin.”
12 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.
Egypt miten namu teng u-leh, amahon hitia asei diu, “Ama hi ajinu ahi, amapa hi that doh'u hitin hiche teng chule ajinu hi eiho ichan thei ding'u ahi ati ding'u ahi.”
13 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.”
Hijeh chun nang chu kei sopinu hi kahi tin kisei in lang hile chun kei dingin phapen intin chule nangma jal'a chu kei jong ei hinghoi ding'u ahi,” ati.
14 When Abram had come into Egypt, Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.
Thudihtah khat chu ahile Abram chu Egypt ahung lhun chun mipiho chun Sarai chu amelhoi chu amudoh sohtauvin ahi.
15 The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.
Chule Pharaoh lengpa chapaten amudoh phat uvin Pharaoh koma amanu chu aphat sei lheh jeng tauve. Hichun Sarai chu Pharaoh insunga apuilut tauvin ahi.
16 He dealt well with Abram for her sake. He had sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.
Hichun Sarai jeh chun Pharaoh in Abram chu thil mantam tah apen, kelngoi hon ahin, bong chalte ahin, sangan chal ho ahiuvin; soh pasal hihen soh numei ho hileh, sangongsao ho ahin sangongsao api ho ahiuvin anei doh sah lotai.
17 Yahweh afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.
Hinlah Pathen in Pharaoh le ainsung mite chu Abram jinu Sarai jeh chu het phahlou thoh hah tah chun abolgim lheh jeng tan ahi.
18 Pharaoh called Abram and said, “What is this that you have done to me? Why didn’t you tell me that she was your wife?
Hichun Pharaoh in Abram chu nasatah in ahousal in, “Ipi bol'a kingaito nahim,” atin, “I bol la naloinu na jinu ahi chu nei seipeh lou ham?”
19 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.”
Ibola ka sopi nu ahi natia kaji dinga neiki pui sah ham? Hijeh chun ven tunjong hikom a na jinu aum e ki puiyin lang gangtah in chedoh tan,” ati.
20 Pharaoh commanded men concerning him, and they escorted him away with his wife and all that he had.
Hichun Pharaoh in asemang pachong ho thu apetan, “Abram ahin ajinu ahin chule anei agou abonchan hiche gam'a konin gathah doh un,” ati.
