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.
Angraeng mah Abram khaeah, Na prae, nangmah ih canawk hoi na imthung takohnawk to caehtaak loe, kang patuek han ih prae ah caeh ah.
2 I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing.
Acaeng kalen kami ah kang sak han, tahamhoihaih kang paek moe, na hmin kang lensak han; tahamhoihaih na hnu tih.
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.”
Nang tahamhoihaih paek kaminawk to tahamhoihaih ka paek moe, nang tangoeng kaminawk to ka tangoeng han; nang rang hoiah long ah kaom kaminawk boih tahamhoih o tih.
4 So Abram went, as Yahweh had told him. Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.
Angraeng mah anih khaeah thuih pae ih lok baktih toengah, Abram mah loe caeh; Lot doeh anih hoi nawnto caeh; Haran vangpui hoi tacawt naah, Abram loe saning qui sarih, pangato oh boeh.
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.
Abram loe a zu Sarai, amya capa Lot, a tawnh ih hmuennawk boih, Haran vangpui hoiah kawk ih kaminawk boih Kanaan prae ah caeh haih, Kanaan prae to a phak o.
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 loe kahoih Shekem ih ahmuen ah caeh moe, Moreh ih azawn to phak naah, Kanaan kaminawk loe to prae thungah khosak o boeh.
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.
Abram khaeah Angraeng angphong moe, hae prae hae na caanawk khaeah ka paek han, tiah a naa. To pongah anih khaeah amtueng, Angraeng hanah to ahmuen ah hmaicam maeto a sak pae.
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.
Anih loe to ahmuen hoiah angthawk moe, Bethel ni angyae bang kaom mae ah caeh pacoengah, ni duembang kaom Bethel vangpui hoi ni angyae bang kaom Ai vangpui salakah, kahni im to a sak; to ahmuen ah Angraeng khaeah hmaicam maeto a sak moe, Angraeng ih ahmin to palawk.
9 Abram traveled, still going on toward the South.
Abram loe to ahmuen hoiah angthawk let moe, aloih bangah caeh tatuk.
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.
To nathuem ah Kanaan prae thungah khokhahaih to oh; prae thungah khokha nung parai pongah, Abram loe Izip prae ah khosak han caeh tathuk.
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.
Izip prae thung akun tom naah, a zu Sarai khaeah, Nang loe kranghoih nongpata ah na oh, tito ka panoek;
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.
Izip kaminawk mah nang ang hnuk o naah, Hae nongpata loe anih ih zu ni, tiah thui o tih; nihcae kai hae na hum o ueloe, nang loe na loih o sak tih.
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.”
To pongah kai loe anih ih tanuh ni, tiah thui ah; to tiah ni nang rang hoiah kai hae kahoih ah na khenzawn o ueloe, ka hinghaih loih tih, tiah a naa.
14 When Abram had come into Egypt, Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.
Abram Izip prae thung akun naah, Izip kaminawk mah anih ih zu to kranghoih parai ah hnuk o.
15 The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.
Faro ih angraengnawk mah anih to hnuk o naah, Faro khaeah thuih pae o, nongpata to Faro siangpahrang im ah caeh o haih.
16 He dealt well with Abram for her sake. He had sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.
Anih pongah Abram to Faro mah kahoih ah khetzawn; Abram hanah tuunawk, maitaw taenawk, laa hrang ataenawk, tamna nongpanawk hoi tamna nongpatanawk, laa hrang amnonawk hoi kaengkuu hrangnawk to a paek.
17 Yahweh afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.
Toe Abram ih zu Sarai pongah, Angraeng mah Faro hoi a imthung takoh nuiah kasae nathaih to phaksak.
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?
To pongah Faro mah Abram to kawk moe, Tipongah hae tiah nang sak loe? Tipongah anih loe ka zu ni, tiah nang thui ai loe? tiah a naa.
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.”
Tikhoe anih loe ka tanuh ni, tiah nang thuih moe, ka zu ah nang laksak loe? To pongah vaihi na zu hae lah loe, caeh lai ah, tiah a naa.
20 Pharaoh commanded men concerning him, and they escorted him away with his wife and all that he had.
Abram kawng pongah Faro mah angmah ih kaminawk khaeah thuih pae ih lok baktih toengah, nihcae mah Abram to a zu hoi a tawnh ih hmuennawk hoi nawnto patoeh o ving.
