Jenèz 12
1 Seyè a di Abram konsa. Pati, kite peyi ou la. Kite tout fanmi ou. Kite kay papa ou, ale nan peyi m'a moutre ou la.
And Jehovah had said to Abram, Go out of thy land, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, to the land that I will shew thee.
2 M'ap ba ou anpil pitit pitit. Y'a tounen yon gwo nasyon. m'a beni ou. Y'a nonmen non ou toupatou; w'a sèvi yon benediksyon pou tout moun.
And I will make of thee a great nation, and bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing.
3 M'ap voye benediksyon mwen sou tout moun ki va mande benediksyon pou ou. Men, m'ap madichonnen tout moun ki va ba ou madichon. Gremesi ou, tout nasyon sou latè va jwenn benediksyon.
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee; and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
4 Abram pati jan Seyè a te di l' la. Lòt pati ansanm avè l' tou. Abram te gen swasannkenzan lè li kite Karan.
And Abram departed as Jehovah had said to him. And Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed out of Haran.
5 Abram pran Sarayi, madanm li, Lòt, pitit frè li a, ansanm ak tout byen li te genyen ak tout domestik li te gen avè l' nan lavil Karan, yo tout yo pati pou Kanaran. Yo rive nan peyi a.
And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their possessions that they had acquired, and the souls that they had obtained in Haran, and they went out to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
6 Abram mache nan tout peyi a, jouk li rive kote yo rele Sichèm, bò pye bwadchenn More a. Lè sa a se moun Kanaran yo ki te rete nan peyi a.
And Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
7 Abram fè yon vizyon, li wè Seyè a ki di l'. Men peyi m'ap bay pitit pitit ou yo a. Se la Abram bati yon lotèl pou Seyè a ki te parèt devan li nan vizyon an.
And Jehovah appeared to Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land. And there he built an altar to Jehovah who had appeared to him.
8 Apre sa, li pati ankò, li ale nan mòn ki toupre lavil Betèl, sou bò solèy leve. Li moute tant li la. Betèl te sou bò lanmè, Ayi te sou bò solèy leve. Abram bati yon lotèl pou Seyè a la tou, epi li fè sèvis pou li.
And he removed thence towards the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, [having] Bethel toward the west, and Ai toward the east; and there he built an altar to Jehovah, and called on the name of Jehovah.
9 Li vwayaje toujou, li desann nan direksyon sid, bout pou bout jouk li rive nan rejyon Negèv la.
And Abram moved onward, going on still toward the south.
10 Men, grangou tonbe sou peyi a, pa t' gen manje menm. Se poutèt sa Abram te desann nan peyi Lejip. Li rete la yon bon bout tan.
And there was a famine in the land. And Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine was grievous in the land.
11 Li te prèt pou antre nan peyi Lejip lè li di Sarayi, madanm li. Koute non. Ou se yon bèl fanm.
And it came to pass when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a woman fair to look upon.
12 Lè gason nan peyi Lejip yo wè ou, yo pral di: Se madanm li wi! Epi y'a touye m' pou yo sa pran ou nan men m'.
And it will come to pass when the Egyptians see thee, that they will say, She is his wife; and they will slay me, and save thee alive.
13 Tanpri, di yo se sè mwen ou ye pou yo pa touye m', pou yo ka aji byen avè m' poutèt ou.
Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister, that it may be well with me on thy account, and my soul may live because of thee.
14 Se konsa, rive Abram rive nan peyi Lejip, mesye yo gen tan wè jan Sarayi te yon bèl fanm.
And it came to pass when Abram came into Egypt, that the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
15 Kèk grannèg nan gouvènman an wè sa tou, y al di farawon an jan li te bèl. Epi yo mennen Sarayi nan palè a.
And the princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
16 Poutèt Sarayi, farawon an te aji byen ak Abram. Li ba li kantite mouton, kabrit, bèf, bourik, chamo, san konte esklav, fanm kou gason, pou sèvi l'.
And he treated Abram well on her account; and he had sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and bondmen, and bondwomen, and she-asses, and camels.
17 Men, paske farawon an te pran Sarayi, madanm Abram, pou madanm li, Seyè a voye yon bann move maladi sou li ak sou moun ki te nan palè a.
And Jehovah plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.
18 Lè sa a, farawon an fè rele Abram, li di li. Kisa ou fè m' konsa? Poukisa ou pa t' di m' se madanm ou Sarayi ye?
And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this thou hast done to me? Why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?
19 Poukisa ou te di m' se sè ou li ye? Mwen pa ta janm pran l' pou madanm mwen. Monchè, men madanm ou. Pran l', al fè wout ou.
Why didst thou say, She is my sister, so that I took her as my wife. And now, behold, there is thy wife: take [her], and go away.
20 Farawon an pase moun li yo lòd pou fè Abram pati kite peyi a, li menm ansanm ak madanm li avèk tout sa ki te pou li.
And Pharaoh commanded [his] men concerning him, and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
