Genesis 12 (MSY2020)

1Dughiar mam, Ikiavɨra Itir God Abram mɨgɨa ghaze, “Nɨ uan nguazim, ko uan adarasi, ko uan afeziamɨn ikɨzim ategh nguazir kɨ nɨn akaghamimɨn mangɨ.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.

2“Eghtɨ kɨ nɨn ovavir boribar amightɨ, me bar avɨrasemegh, mangɨva gɨn ikɨzir gavgavir mam otogham. Egh kɨ deravɨra nɨ damu nɨ damightɨ nɨn ziam bar ekevegham. Eghtɨ nɨ bangɨn kɨ gumazamiziba deravɨra me damuamin tuavim ikiam.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.

3Eghtɨ gumazamizir deravɨra nɨ gamiba, kɨ deravɨra me damuam. Eghtɨ nɨ gasɨghasɨzir gumazamiziba kɨ uabɨ me gasɨghasigham. Nɨ bangɨn kɨ nguazir kamɨn itir ikɨziba bar dar gumazamiziba bar deragh me damuam.”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.”

4Ezɨ Abram Haranɨn nguibam ategha Ikiavɨra Itir God a mɨkemezɨ moghɨn, a zui. Ezɨ Lot a ko uaghan zui. Dughiar kamɨn Abram 75plan azeniba iti.So Abram departed, as the LORD had directed him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran.

5Abram uan amuim Sarai, ko uan dozimɨn otarim Lot inigha, me uaghara zui. Abram faragha Haranɨn nguibamɨn ikia egha bizir avɨriba ko ingangarir gumaziba ko amizir avɨriba ini. Egha a Kenanɨn zuir dughiamɨn a bizir kaba bar da inigha zui. Egha me Kenanɨn otivigha gɨvagha,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,

6Abram uan adarazi ko nguazir kamɨn ghua Sekemɨn nguibamɨn oto. Nguibar kamɨn temer ekiar mam ikia Moren danganimɨn amadaghan iti. Ezɨ dughiar kamɨn Kenania Kenanɨn nguazimɨn ikiavɨra iti.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.

7Ezɨ Ikiavɨra Itir God Abram batogha a mɨgei, “Kɨ nguazir kam nɨn ovavir boribar anɨngam.” Kamaghɨn Abram Ikiavɨra Itir God a batozɨ naghɨra, an ziam fasa ofa gamir dakozimɨn ingari.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.

8Egha gɨn Abram dɨkavigha ghua, aruem anadi naghɨn itir mɨghsɨar Betelɨn boroghɨn itimɨn ghu. Mɨghsɨar kam Betelɨn nguibam ko Ain nguibamɨn tizimɨn iti. Ezɨ Betel an aruem uaghiri naghɨn itima, Ai an aruem anadi naghɨn iti. Ezɨ danganir kamɨn Abram uan purirpenibar ingarigha, Ikiavɨra Itir Godɨn ziam fasa, ofa gamir dakozimɨn ingarigha, an ziam dɨbora a fe.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.

9Egha gɨn Abram uan adarazi ko danganir kam ategha sautɨn amadaghan zui. Egha me purirpenibar ingara ghua Negevɨn danganimɨn oto, a gumazamiziba puvatɨzir danganim.And Abram journeyed on toward the Negev.

10Dughiar mam mɨtiriar ekiam otozɨ, danganir kam dagheba bar puvatɨ. Kamaghɨn, Abram uan adarazi ko me ghua nguibar igharazibar gumazamizibar mɨn pura ikia, kantri Isipɨn iti.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.

11Egha me kantri Isipɨn boroghɨra iza, Abram uan amuim Sarai mɨgɨa ghaze, “Nɨ orakigh. Kɨ fo, nɨ amizir dirir bar deragha ganganir aghuim gamim.As he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, “Look, I know that you are a beautiful woman,

12Isipɨn gumaziba nɨn ganigh, ti nɨ gakuegham. Egh me kamaghɨn fogham, nɨ nan amuim, egh me na mɨsueghtɨ kɨ aremeghtɨ, nɨ ikiam.and when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ Then they will kill me but will let you live.

13Nɨ kamaghɨn mɨkɨmtɨ deragham, nɨ nan amizim. Egh nɨ kamaghɨn damightɨ, me arazir aghuimɨn na damu, na mɨsueghtɨ kɨ aremeghan kogham.”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.”

14Ezɨ Abram kantri Isipɨn otozɨ, Isipɨn gumaziba a mɨkemezɨ moghɨra, an amuimɨn garima an ganganim bar dera.So when Abram entered Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.

15Ezɨ atrivimɨn ingangarir gumaziba Sarain gari, a bar derazɨ, me ghua atrivim kamaghɨn a mɨgei, “Amizir bar dirir mam izegha iti.” Egha me ghua Sarai inigha atrivimɨn dɨpenimɨn ize.When Pharaoh’s officials saw Sarai, they commended her to him, and she was taken into the palace of Pharaoh.

16Ezɨ atrivim Sarain ganigha mɨghɨgha a gakongegha, kamaghɨn bar deravɨram Abram gami. Egha sipsipba, memeba, bulmakauba, donkin apuriba, donkin amebaba, kamelba, ingangarir gumaziba ko ingangarir amizir bar avɨriba, isa Abram ganɨngi.He treated Abram well on her account, and Abram acquired sheep and cattle, male and female donkeys, menservants and maidservants, and camels.

17Egha atrivim Abramɨn amuim Sarai inigha ua bagha an amuim gami, kamaghɨn Ikiavɨra Itir God Isipɨn atrivim ko an dɨpenimɨn itir darazi bagha arɨmariar guar avɨriba amangi.The LORD, however, afflicted Pharaoh and his household with severe plagues because of Abram’s wife Sarai.

18Ezɨ atrivim Abramɨn diazɨma a izima a kamaghɨn a mɨgɨa ghaze, “Nɨ manmaghsua arazir kam na gami? Egha kamaghɨn na mɨkemezɨ puvatɨ, Sarai nɨn amuim.So Pharaoh summoned Abram and asked, “What have you done to me? Why didn’t you tell me she was your wife?

19Nɨ na mɨgɨa ghaze nɨn amizim, ezɨ kamaghɨn kɨ uan amuimɨn mɨn a ini. Nɨ manmaghsuavɨra arazir kam gami? Kamaghɨn nɨ uan amuim inigh, gua mangɨ!”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!”

20Ezɨ atrivim uan ingangarir gumazibav mɨkemezɨ, me Abram uan amuim ko, an biziba sara Isipɨn bar me batoke.Then Pharaoh gave his men orders concerning Abram, and they sent him away with his wife and all his possessions.
