1 N ow the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:

Na ka mea atu a Ihowa ki a Aperama, Haere atu i tou whenua, i roto i ou whanaunga, i te whare ano hoki o tou papa, ki te whenua e whakaaturia e ahau ki a koe:

2 A nd I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

A ka meinga koe e ahau hei iwi nui, ka manaakitia ano koe e ahau, ka whakanuia ano hoki tou ingoa; a ka waiho koe hei manaakitanga:

3 A nd I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

A ka manaaki ahau i te hunga e manaaki ana i a koe, ka kanga hoki i te tangata e kanga ano i a koe: a mau ka manaakitia ai nga hapu katoa o te whenua.

4 S o Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.

Na haere ana a Aperama, pera ana me ta Ihowa i korero ai ki a ia; i haere tahi ano a Rota i a ia; a e whitu tekau ma rima nga tau o Aperama i tona hekenga mai i Harana.

5 A nd Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.

Na ka tango a Aperama i a Harai, i tana wahine raua ko Rota tama a tona teina, i o ratou rawa katoa i whakaemi ai, i nga mea ora katoa i whiwhi ai ratou ki Harana; a whakatika ana ratou, haere ana ki te whenua o Kanaana; na, ka tae ratou ki te wh enua o Kanaana.

6 A nd Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.

Na ka tika a Aperama na waenganui o te whenua ki te wahi o Hekeme, ki te oki i More. I taua whenua ano te Kanaani i taua wa.

7 A nd the Lord appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the Lord, who appeared unto him.

Na ka puta a Ihowa ki a Aperama, ka mea, Ka hoatu e ahau tenei whenua ki tou uri. Na ka hanga e ia tetahi aata ki reira ma Ihowa i puta mai nei ki a ia.

8 A nd he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the Lord, and called upon the name of the Lord.

Na ka neke atu ia i reira ki te maunga i te rawhiti o Peteere, a ka whakatu i tona teneti; ko Peteere ki te hauauru, ko Hai ki te rawhiti: i hanga ano e ia tetahi aata ma Ihowa ki reira, a karanga ana ki te ingoa o Ihowa.

9 A nd Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.

Na ka turia atu e Aperama, me te neke haere whaka te tonga.

10 A nd there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.

A he matekai to te whenua: a ka haere a Aperama ki raro, ki Ihipa, ki reira noho ai; he nui hoki te matekai o te whenua.

11 A nd it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon:

A, i a ia ka tata te tae ki Ihipa, ka mea ia ki a Harai, ki tana wahine, Nana, e mohio ana ahau he wahine ataahua koe ki te titiro atu;

12 T herefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive.

Na, akuanei, kei te kitenga o nga Ihipiana i a koe, ka mea ratou, Ko tana wahine tenei: a ka patua ahau e ratou, ka whakaora hoki i a koe.

13 S ay, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.

Me ki koe, ne, he tuahine koe noku? kia whiwhi ai ahau ki te pai i a koe; a kia ora ai toku wairua i a koe.

14 A nd it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.

A, i te taenga o Aperama ki Ihipa, ka titiro nga Ihipiana ki te wahine, he tino ataahua.

15 T he princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.

Ka kite hoki nga rangatira a Parao i a ia, ka korero whakamihi mona ki a Parao: a ka kawea te wahine ra ki te whare o Parao.

16 A nd he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.

Na ka atawhai ia i a Aperama, he mea hoki mo te wahine: a ka riro i ia he hipi, he kau, he kaihe toa, he pononga tane, he pononga wahine, he kaihe uha, he kamera.

17 A nd the Lord plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.

Na ka whiua e Ihowa a Parao ratou ko tona whare, he nui nga pakinga, mo Harai wahine a Aperama.

18 A nd Pharaoh called Abram and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?

Na ka karanga a Parao ki a Aperama, ka mea, He aha tenei mahi au ki ahau? he aha koe te korero mai ai ki ahau ko tau wahine ia?

19 W hy saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way.

Na te aha koe i mea ai, Ko taku tuahine ia? i tango ai ahau i a ia hei wahine maku: na, tau wahine, tangohia, haere.

20 A nd Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.

Na ka whakatupato a Parao ki nga tangata, kei aha atu ki a ia: a tukua atu ana ia e ratou, me tana wahine, me ana mea katoa.
