Genesis 12 (BEO)

1Gode da A:ibala:mema amane adole i, “Dia soge, dia fi amola dia ada diasu amo yolesili, soge enoga masa. Dia fimu soge na da dima olelemu.Then the LORD said to Abram, “Leave your country, your kindred, and your father’s household, and go to the land I will show you.

2Na da dima mano bagohame imunu. Dia mano fifi misunu da hobea bagadewane fi dialumu. Na da dima hahawane dogolegemu amola dia dio gasi gadomu.I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.

3Nowa dunu da dima hahawane dogolegele fidisia, amo dunu Na da hahawane dogolegele fidimu. Be nowa dunu da dima gagabusu aligima:ne sia:sea, Na da ilima gagabusu aligima:ne sia:mu. Dia hou amo ganodini na da osobo bagade fifi asi gala dunu huluane ilima hahawane dogolegesu imunu.”I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you; and all the families of the earth will be blessed through you.”

4A:ibala:me da ode 75 lai dagoi. Amalalu e da Gode Ea adoi defele Ha:ila:ne moilai yolesili asi. Lode amola da sigi asi.So Abram departed, as the LORD had directed him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran.

5A:ibala:me da ea uda Selai, eaowa Lode amola ea liligi gagui huluane aguni amola ea udigili hawa: hamosu dunu amo e da Ha:ila:ne moilaiga lai, amo huluane oule asili, Ga:ina:ne moilaiga doaga:musa: asi. Ahoana, ilia da Ga:ina:ne sogega doaga:i.And Abram took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, and all the possessions and people they had acquired in Haran, and set out for the land of Canaan. When they came to the land of Canaan,

6A:ibala:me da Ga:ina:ne soge ganodini ahoanu, sema ifa amo ea dio Mole amo Siegeme moilai bai bagade ganodini galu amoga doaga:i. (amo esoga Ga:ina:ne dunu da amo soge ganodini esalu)Abram traveled through the land as far as the site of the Oak of Moreh at Shechem. And at that time the Canaanites were in the land.

7Gode da A:ibala:mema misini amane sia:i, “Na da amo soge, digaga fi ilima imunu.” Amalalu, A:ibala:me da Hina Gode ba:i dagoiba:le, e da Godema nodoma:ne oloda hamoi dagoi.Then the LORD appeared to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your offspring.” So Abram built an altar there to the LORD, who had appeared to him.

8Amalalu, e da ga (south) asili, goumi soge amo da Bedele moilaiga gusu dialu, amoga abula diasu gagui. Ea moilai da Bedele moilai amo guma: amola A:iai moilai gusuli dogoa dialebe ba:i. Amo sogebiga e da oloda eno hamone, Godema nodoi.From there Abram moved on to the hill country east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel to the west and Ai to the east. There he built an altar to the LORD, and he called on the name of the LORD.

9Amalalu e da amo soge yolesili, sogebi eno amola sogebi eno amoga asili Ga:ina:ne soge ga (south) la:ididili doaga:musa: ahoanu.And Abram journeyed on toward the Negev.

10Gibu da hame sa:iba:le, ha:i bagade doaga:i. Ha:i bagadeba:le, A:ibala:me da Idibidi sogega fonobahadi esalumusa: asi.Now there was a famine in the land. So Abram went down to Egypt to live there for a while because the famine was severe.

11E da Idibidi soge bega: doaga:loba, e da idua Selai ema amane sia:i, “Di da uda ida:iwane ba:sa amo na dawa:.As he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, “Look, I know that you are a beautiful woman,

12Idibidi dunu da di ba:sea amane sia:mu, ‘Amo da ea uda.’ Amasea, ilia da na fane legemu be di esaloma:ne yolesimu.and when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ Then they will kill me but will let you live.

13Amaiba:le di da na dalusi ilima sia:ma. Amasea, ilia nama hahawane hamomu amola ilia dima asigiba:le, na hame fane legemu.Please say you are my sister, so that I will be treated well for your sake, and on account of you my life will be spared.”

14A:ibala:me da Idibidi sogega doaga:loba, Idibidi dunu da Selai da uda isisima:goi ba:i.So when Abram entered Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.

15Felou ea hou ouligisu dunu da Selai ba:loba, ilia da ea hou Felouma nodoi. Amanoba Felou da Selai ea diasu esalumusa: oule misi.When Pharaoh’s officials saw Sarai, they commended her to him, and she was taken into the palace of Pharaoh.

16Felou da Selaima dawa:beba:le, Felou da A:ibala:me hahawane fidi. Amalalu, A:ibala:me da sibi, bulamagau, dougi (gawali amola aseme), hawa: hamosu (dunu amola uda) amola ga:mele lai.He treated Abram well on her account, and Abram acquired sheep and cattle, male and female donkeys, menservants and maidservants, and camels.

17Be Hina Gode da Felou amola ea diasuga esalebe fi ilima olo bagade iasi. E da A:ibala:me ea uda Selai laiba:le, amo olo iasi.The LORD, however, afflicted Pharaoh and his household with severe plagues because of Abram’s wife Sarai.

18Amaiba:le, Felou da A:ibala:me ema misa:ne sia:i. E amane sia:i, “Di da nama adi hamobela:? Amo da dia uda. Abuli hame adobela:?So Pharaoh summoned Abram and asked, “What have you done to me? Why didn’t you tell me she was your wife?

19Di da abuli ‘amo da na dalusi!’ sia:bela:? amalalu amo uda na da lai dagoi. Defea! Dia uda da goea. Lale masa!”Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her as my wife? Now then, here is your wife. Take her and go!”

20Felou da ea ouligisu hina dunu ilima sia:beba:le, ilia A:ibala:me amola idua amola ea gagui liligi huluane gadili asunasi dagoi.Then Pharaoh gave his men orders concerning Abram, and they sent him away with his wife and all his possessions.
