< Genesis 12 >

1 Now the LORD had said to Abram, Get you out of your country, and from your kindred, and from your father’s house, to a land that I will show you:
Waaqayyo Abraamiin akkana jedhe; “Biyya kee, saba keetii fi mana abbaa keetii dhiisiitii gara biyya ani si argisiisuu dhaqi.
2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing:
“Ani saba guddaa sin taasisa; sin eebbisas; maqaa kee illee guddaa nan taasisa; atis eebba taataa.
3 And I will bless them that bless you, and curse him that curses you: and in you shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Ani warra si eebbisan nan eebbisa; warra si abaaran nan abaara; sabni lafa irraa hundinuu karaa keetiin eebbifama.”
4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken to him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
Kanaafuu Abraam akkuma Waaqayyo isatti himetti kaʼee deeme; Looxis isa wajjin deeme. Abraam yeroo Kaaraanii baʼetti nama waggaa torbaatamii shan ture.
5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
Innis niitii isaa Saaraa, ilma obboleessa isaa Loox, qabeenya walitti kuufatan hundumaa fi namoota Kaaraanitti argatan hundumaa qabatee Kanaʼaan dhaquuf kaʼe; isaanis achi gaʼan.
6 And Abram passed through the land to the place of Sichem, to the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
Abraamis hamma qilxuu Mooree kan Sheekem keessatti argamuutti biyyattii keessa deeme. Yeroo sana warri Kanaʼaan biyya sana keessa turan.
7 And the LORD appeared to Abram, and said, To your seed will I give this land: and there built he an altar to the LORD, who appeared to him.
Waaqayyo Abraamitti mulʼatee, “Ani biyya kana sanyii keetiif nan kenna” jedheen. Kanaafuu inni achitti Waaqayyo isatti mulʼate sanaaf iddoo aarsaa ijaare.
8 And he removed from there to a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he built an altar to the LORD, and called on the name of the LORD.
Achii kaʼee gara gaarran Beetʼeel irraa gara baʼa biiftuutti argamanii deemee Beetʼeelin gara lixa biiftuutti, Aayin immoo gara baʼa biiftuutti hambisee dunkaana isaa dhaabbate. Achitti Waaqayyoof iddoo aarsaa ijaaree maqaa Waaqayyoo waammate.
9 And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.
Abraam ergasii kaʼee gara Negeebitti karaa isaa itti fufe.
10 And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.
Bara sana beelli biyya sanatti buʼee ture; beelli sun waan hammaateef Abraam achi jiraachuuf jedhee Gibxitti gad buʼe.
11 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 you are a fair woman to look on:
Innis yeroo Gibxi seenuu gaʼetti niitii isaa Saaraan akkana jedhe; “Ani akka ati dubartii bareedduu taate nan beeka.
12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see you, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save you alive.
Warri Gibxi yommuu si argan, ‘Kun niitii isaa ti’ jedhanii na ajjeesu; siʼi immoo ni hambisu.
13 Say, I pray you, you are my sister: that it may be well with me for your sake; and my soul shall live because of you.
Akka isaan siif jedhanii haala tolaan na ilaalanii fi akka lubbuun koos sababii keetiin duʼa ooltuuf maaloo, ‘Ani obboleettii isaa ti’ jedhi.”
14 And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
Yeroo Abraam Gibxi seenettis warri Gibxi akka Sooraan dubartii baayʼee bareedduu taate argan.
15 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.
Qondaaltonni Faraʼooniis yommuu ishee arganitti ishee jajanii Faraʼoonitti himan; isheenis masaraa mootummaa Faraʼooniitti geeffamte.
16 And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.
Faraʼoon sababii isheetiif jedhee Abraamin haala tolaadhaan ilaale; Abraamis hoolotaa fi loon, harroota korommii fi dhaltuu, tajaajiltoota dhiiraa dubartii, gaalas argate.
17 And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram’s wife.
Waaqayyo garuu sababii niitii Abraam, sababii Saaraatiif jedhee Faraʼoonii fi warra mana isaa jiraatan dhukkuba hamaan dhaʼe.
18 And Pharaoh called Abram and said, What is this that you have done to me? why did you not tell me that she was your wife?
Kanaafuu Faraʼoon Abraamin ofitti waamee akkana jedheen; “Ati maal natti hojjette? Akka isheen niitii kee taate maaliif natti hin himin?
19 Why said you, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold your wife, take her, and go your way.
Ati maaliif, ‘Isheen obboleettii koo ti’ jettee, akka ani niitummaaf ishee fudhadhu na goote? Ammas niitiin kee kunoo ti; ishee fudhadhuu deemi!”
20 And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
Faraʼoonis waaʼee Abraam irratti namoota isaa ajaje; isaanis Abraamii fi niitii isaa, waan inni qabu hunda wajjin geggeessan.
