¹[Ny niantsoan'Andriamanitra an'i Abrama sy ny nivahinianay tany Kanana sy Egypta] Ary hoy Jehovah tamin'i Abrama: Mandehana miala amin'ny taninao sy ny havanao ary ny tranon'ny rainao hankany amin'ny tany izay hasehoko anao;

¹And Jehovah saith unto Abram, `Go for thyself, from thy land, and from thy kindred, and from the house of thy father, unto the land which I shew thee.

²dia hahatonga anao ho firenena lehibe Aho sady hitahy anao sy hahalehibe ny anaranao; ary ho fitahiana tokoa ianao;

²And I make thee become a great nation, and bless thee, and make thy name great; and be thou a blessing.

³ary hitahy izay manisy soa anao Aho, fa hanozona izay manozona anao; ary aminao no hitahiana ny firenena rehetra ambonin'ny tany.

³And I bless those blessing thee, and him who is disesteeming thee I curse, and blessed in thee have been all families of the ground.`

⁴Dia nandeha Abrama araka izay efa nolazain'i Jehovah taminy, ary Lota koa mba niaraka taminy. Ary efa dimy amby fito-polo taona Abrama, raha niala tao Harana izy.

⁴And Abram goeth on, as Jehovah hath spoken unto him, and Lot goeth with him, and Abram [is] a son of five and seventy years in his going out from Charan.

⁵Ary Abrama nitondra an'i Saray vadiny sy Lota zana-drahalahiny mbamin'ny fananan'izy rehetra izay efa nohariny sy ny olona izay efa azony tao Harana; dia niainga izy ireo hankany amin'ny tany Kanana, ka tonga tany amin'ny tany Kanana izy.

⁵And Abram taketh Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother`s son, and all their substance that they have gained, and the persons that they have obtained in Charan; and they go out to go towards the land of Canaan; and they come in to the land of Canaan.

⁶Ary Abrama dia nitety ny tany hatrany Sekema, dia tao an-kazo terebintan'i More. Ary ny Kananita no tompon-tany tany Kanana fahizay.

⁶And Abram passeth over into the land, unto the place Shechem, unto the oak of Moreh; and the Canaanite [is] then in the land.

⁷Ary Jehovah niseho tamin'i Abrama ka nanao hoe: Ny taranakao no homeko ity tany ity. Dia nanorina alitara teo izy ho an'i Jehovah Izay niseho taminy.

⁷And Jehovah appeareth unto Abram, and saith, `To thy seed I give this land;` and he buildeth there an altar to Jehovah, who hath appeared unto him.

⁸Ary nifindra niala teo izy hankany amin'ny tendrombohitra atsinanan'i Betela ka nanorina ny lainy teo anelanelan'i Betela tao andrefany sy Ay tao atsinanany; dia nanorina alitara teo koa ho an'i Jehovah izy ka niantso ny anaran'i Jehovah.

⁸And he removeth from thence towards a mountain at the east of Beth-El, and stretcheth out the tent (Beth-El at the west, and Hai at the east), and he buildeth there an altar to Jehovah, and preacheth in the name of Jehovah.

⁹Ary nifindra Abrama ka nandroso niandalana ho any amin'ny tany atsimo.

⁹And Abram journeyeth, going on and journeying towards the south.

¹⁰Ary nisy mosary teo amin'ny tany; ary Abrama dia nidina nankany Egypta hivahiny any, fa mafy ny mosary teo amin'ny tany.

¹⁰And there is a famine in the land, and Abram goeth down towards Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine [is] grievous in the land;

¹¹Ary rehefa nadiva ho tonga tany Egypta izy, dia hoy izy tamin'i Saray vadiny: Indro, fantatro fa vehivavy tsara tarehy ianao,

¹¹and it cometh to pass as he hath drawn near to enter Egypt, that he saith unto Sarai his wife, `Lo, I pray thee, I have known that thou [art] a woman of beautiful appearance;

¹²ka, raha hitan'ny Egyptiana, dia hataony hoe: Vadiny io; ka hovonoiny aho, fa ianao kosa hovelominy.

¹²and it hath come to pass that the Egyptians see thee, and they have said, `This [is] his wife,` and they have slain me, and thee they keep alive:

¹³Masìna ianao, lazao fa anabaviko ianao, mba hasiany soa aho noho ny aminao, ka ianao no hamelomany ahy.

¹³say, I pray thee, thou [art] my sister, so that it is well with me because of thee, and my soul hath lived for thy sake.`

¹⁴Ary rehefa tonga tany Egypta Abrama, dia hitan'ny Egyptiana fa tsara tarehy indrindra ravehivavy.

¹⁴And it cometh to pass, at the entering of Abram into Egypt, that the Egyptians see the woman that she [is] exceeding fair;

¹⁵Ary nahita azy ny tandapan'i Farao ka nidera azy tamin'i Farao; dia nentina tao an-tranon'i Farao izy.

¹⁵and princes of Pharaoh see her, and praise her unto Pharaoh, and the woman is taken [to] Pharaoh`s house;

¹⁶Ary Abrama nasian'i Farao soa noho ny amin'i Saray; dia nahazo ondry sy omby sy borikilahy sy andevolahy sy andevovavy sy borikivavy sy rameva izy.

¹⁶and to Abram he hath done good because of her, and he hath sheep and oxen, and he-asses, and men-servants, and handmaids, and she-asses, and camels.

¹⁷Dia nasian'i Jehovah areti-mandoza Farao sy ny ankohonany noho ny amin'i Saray, vadin'i Abrama.

¹⁷And Jehovah plagueth Pharaoh and his house — great plagues — for the matter of Sarai, Abram`s wife.

¹⁸Ary Farao dia nampaka an'i Abrama ka nanao hoe: Inona izao nataonao tamiko izao? Nahoana no tsy nambaranao tamiko fa vadinao izy?

¹⁸And Pharaoh calleth for Abram, and saith, `What [is] this thou hast done to me? why hast thou not declared to me that she [is] thy wife?

¹⁹Nahoana ianao no nanao hoe: Anabaviko izy? ka nalaiko ho vady izy; koa ankehitriny, indro ny vadinao, ento izy, ka mandehana.Dia nomen'i Farao teny ny mpanompony sasany ny amin'i Abrama; ary dia nanatitra azy sy ny vadiny mbamin'ny fananany rehetra ireo.

¹⁹Why hast thou said, She [is] my sister, and I take her to myself for a wife? and now, lo, thy wife, take and go.`

²⁰Dia nomen'i Farao teny ny mpanompony sasany ny amin'i Abrama; ary dia nanatitra azy sy ny vadiny mbamin'ny fananany rehetra ireo.

²⁰And Pharaoh chargeth men concerning him, and they send him away, and his wife, an all that he hath.
