Genesis 12
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Angraeng mah Abram khaeah, Na prae, nangmah ih canawk hoi na imthung takohnawk to caehtaak loe, kang patuek han ih prae ah caeh ah.
1And the Lord said to Abram: Go forth out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and out of thy father’s house, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.
2Acaeng kalen kami ah kang sak han, tahamhoihaih kang paek moe, na hmin kang lensak han; tahamhoihaih na hnu tih.
2And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and magnify thy name, and thou shalt be blessed.
3Nang 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.
3I will bless them that bless thee, and curse them that curse thee, and IN THEE shall all the kindred of the earth be blessed:
4Angraeng 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.
4So Abram went out as the Lord had commanded him, and Lot went with him: Abram was seventy-five years old when he went forth from Haran.
5Abram 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.
5And he took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all the substance which they had gathered, and the souls which they had gotten in Haran: and they went out to go into the land of Chanaan. And when they were come into it,
6Abram loe kahoih Shekem ih ahmuen ah caeh moe, Moreh ih azawn to phak naah, Kanaan kaminawk loe to prae thungah khosak o boeh.
6Abram passed through the country into the place of Sichem, as far as the noble vale: now the Chanaanite was at that time in the land.
7Abram 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.
7And the Lord appeared to Abram, and said to him: To thy seed will I give this land. And he built there an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him.
8Anih 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.
8And passing on from thence to a mountain, that was on the east side of Bethel, he there pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east; he built there also an altar to the Lord, and called upon his name.
9Abram loe to ahmuen hoiah angthawk let moe, aloih bangah caeh tatuk.
9And Abram went forward, going, and proceeding on to the south.
10To nathuem ah Kanaan prae thungah khokhahaih to oh; prae thungah khokha nung parai pongah, Abram loe Izip prae ah khosak han caeh tathuk.
10And there came a famine in the country; and Abram went down into Egypt, to sojourn there: for the famine was very grievous in the land.
11Izip prae thung akun tom naah, a zu Sarai khaeah, Nang loe kranghoih nongpata ah na oh, tito ka panoek;
11And when he was near to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife: I know that thou art a beautiful woman:
12Izip 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.
12And that when the Egyptians shall see thee, they will say: She is his wife: and they will kill me, and keep thee.
13To 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.
13Say, therefore, I pray thee, that thou art my sister: that I may be well used for thee, and that my soul may live for thy sake.
14Abram Izip prae thung akun naah, Izip kaminawk mah anih ih zu to kranghoih parai ah hnuk o.
14And when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians saw the woman that she was very beautiful.
15Faro ih angraengnawk mah anih to hnuk o naah, Faro khaeah thuih pae o, nongpata to Faro siangpahrang im ah caeh o haih.
15And the princes told Pharao, and praised her before him: and the woman was taken into the house of Pharao.
16Anih 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.
16And they used Abram well for her sake. And he had sheep and oxen, and he asses, and men servants and maid servants, and she asses, and camels.
17Toe Abram ih zu Sarai pongah, Angraeng mah Faro hoi a imthung takoh nuiah kasae nathaih to phaksak.
17But the Lord scourged Pharao and his house with most grievous stripes for Sarai, Abram’s wife.
18To 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.
18And Pharao called Abram, and said to him: What is this that thou hast done to me? Why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?
19Tikhoe 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.
19For what cause didst thou say, she was thy sister, that I might take her to my wife? Now, therefore, there is thy wife, take her, and go thy way.
20Abram 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.
20And Pharao gave his men orders concerning Abram: and they led him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
