< Bilowgii 12 >

1 Rabbigu wuxuu Aabraam ku yidhi, Ka tag waddankaaga, iyo xigaalkaaga, iyo reerka aabbahaaba, oo dalka aan ku tusi doono u kac.
Then Yahweh said to Abram, “Leave this country where you are now living. Leave your father’s clan and his family. Go to a land that I will show you.
2 Oo quruun weyn baan kaa dhigi doonaa, oo waan ku barakayn doonaa, magacaagana waan weynayn doonaa; oo waxaad noqon doontaa barako;
I will cause your descendants to become a large nation. I will bless you and cause you to become (famous/highly esteemed). What I do for you will be a blessing to others.
3 oo waan barakayn doonaa kuwa kuu duceeya, kan ku habaarana waan habaari doonaa: oo qabiilooyinka dhulka oo dhammu adigay kugu barakoobi doonaan.
I will bless those who (bless/ask God to do good things for) you, and I will (curse/ask God to punish) those who do evil things to you. And because of what you do, groups of people all over the earth will receive blessings (OR, people will wish that God will bless others as much as he has blessed you).”
4 Markaasaa Aabraam tegey, sidii Rabbigu ku yidhi; Luudna wuu raacay. Aabraam shan iyo toddobaatan sannadood buu jiray markuu Haaraan ka tegey.
So Abram left Haran [town], as Yahweh told him to do. Abram was 75 years old when he left there along with his wife, Sarai, and his nephew, Lot.
5 Aabraamna wuxuu kaxaystay naagtiisii Saaray, iyo Luud oo ahaa wiilkii walaalkiis, iyo xoolahoodii ay urursadeen oo dhan, iyo dadkii ay Haaraan ka heleen oo dhan; kolkaasay u kaceen dalkii Kancaan, oo waxay yimaadeen dalkii Kancaan.
Abram also took along all the possessions and slaves that they had accumulated/acquired in Haran [town], and they left there and went to Canaan land.
6 Aabraamna dalkii buu dhex maray ilaa meeshii la odhan jiray Shekem iyo tan iyo geedkii Moreh. Wakhtigaasna reer Kancaan dalkay joogeen.
In Canaan they traveled as far as Shechem [town] and camped by a huge tree called the tree of Moreh. The Canaan people-group were still living in that land.
7 Oo Ilaah baa Aabraam u muuqday, oo ku yidhi, Dalkan farcankaagaan siin doonaa. Kolkaasuu meeshaas meel allabari uga dhisay Rabbigii u muuqday.
Then Yahweh appeared to Abram and said to him, “I will give this land to your descendants.” Then Abram built a stone altar to offer a sacrifice to Yahweh because Yahweh had appeared to him.
8 Markaasuu meeshaas ka guuray, oo wuxuu tegey buurtii xagga bari ka ahayd Beytel, oo teendhadiisii buu ka dhistay meel Beytel galbeed ka ahayd, Aaciina bari ka ahayd; markaasuu meeshaas meel allabari Rabbiga uga dhisay, oo magaca Rabbiga ku baryootamay.
From Shechem, Abram and his family traveled to the hills that were east of Bethel [town]. Bethel [town] was to the west of where they set up their tent, and Ai [town] was further to the east. There he built another stone altar and offered a sacrifice and worshiped Yahweh there.
9 Kolkaasaa Aabraam socdaalay, isagoo weli xagga koonfureed u sii socda.
Then they left there and started traveling south to the Negev [Desert].
10 Kolkaasaa dhulkii abaari ka dhacday: markaasuu Aabraam Masar tegey; inuu halkaas qariib ku ahaado, waayo, abaartii aad bay dhulkii ugu xumayd.
There was (a famine/very little food to eat) in Canaan, so they went south to live in Egypt for a while.
11 Oo waxay noqotay in markii uu ku soo dhowaaday inuu Masar galo, uu ku yidhi naagtiisii Saaray, Bal eeg, waan ogahay inaad tahay naag arag quruxsan,
Just as they were about to enter Egypt, Abram said to his wife Sarai, “Listen, I know that you are a very beautiful woman.
12 oo waxaa dhici doona in markii ay Masriyiintu ku arkaan, ay odhan doonaan, Waa naagtiisii tanu. Oo way i dili doonaan, laakiin adiga way ku dayn doonaan.
When the people in Egypt see you, they will say, ‘This woman is his wife!’ and they will kill me in order to get you, but they will not kill you.
13 Waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Walaashiis baan ahay; si ay iigu roonaadaan adiga aawadaa, oo ay naftaydu daraaddaa u noolaato.
So I ask you to tell them that you are my sister, so that because of you telling them that, they will (spare my life/not kill me).”
14 Oo waxay noqotay in markii Aabraam Masar soo galay, ay Masriyiintii arkeen in naagtu aad u quruxsan tahay.
And as soon as they arrived in Egypt, the people in Egypt saw that his wife was indeed very beautiful.
15 Oo amiirradii Fircoon baa arkay, oo Fircoon bay u ammaaneen iyadii, oo naagtii waxaa loo kaxeeyey gurigii Fircoon.
When the king’s officials saw her, they told the king how beautiful she was. And they took her to the king’s palace.
16 Isaguna Aabraam si wanaagsan buu u qabtay iyada aawadeed: wuxuuna lahaa ido, iyo dibiyo, iyo dameerro lab, iyo niman addoommo ah, iyo naago addoommo ah, iyo dameerro dhaddig iyo geel.
The king treated Abram kindly because of Sarai, and he gave Abram many sheep and cattle and donkeys and male and female slaves and camels.
17 Oo Rabbigu belaayooyin waaweyn buu ku riday Fircoon iyo reerkiisiiba, Saaray oo naagtii Aabraam ahayd aawadeed.
But because the king had taken Sarai, Abram’s wife, Yahweh caused the king and the others in his household to be inflicted with terrible diseases.
18 Fircoonna Aabraam buu u yeedhay, oo ku yidhi, Waa maxay waxan aad igu samaysay? Maxaad iigu sheegi weyday inay tahay naagtaadii?
When the king realized why that was happening, he summoned Abram and said to him, “Why did you do this to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife?
19 Maxaad u tidhi, Waa walaashay si aan u guursado iyada? Haddaba waa tan naagtaadii, kaxayso oo iska tag.
Why did you lie, saying she is your sister, with the result that I took her to be my wife? You should not have done that! So now take your wife, leave here and go!”
20 Fircoonna niman buu u soo amray isaga: wayna soo ambabbixiyeen isagii iyo naagtiisii, iyo wuxuu haystay oo dhan.
Then the king told his officials/servants to take Abram and his wife and all his possessions out of Egypt.
