Genesis 12
Maori Bible
12 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 Na ka turia atu e Aperama, me te neke haere whaka te tonga.
10 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, 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 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 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, i te taenga o Aperama ki Ihipa, ka titiro nga Ihipiana ki te wahine, he tino ataahua.
15 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 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 Na ka whiua e Ihowa a Parao ratou ko tona whare, he nui nga pakinga, mo Harai wahine a Aperama.
18 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 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 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.

The Call of Abram
12 The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household(A) to the land(B) I will show you.(C)
2 “I will make you into a great nation,(D)
and I will bless you;(E)
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.[a](F)
3 I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;(G)
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you.(H)”[b]
4 So Abram went, as the Lord had told him; and Lot(I) went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old(J) when he set out from Harran.(K) 5 He took his wife Sarai,(L) his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had accumulated(M) and the people(N) they had acquired in Harran, and they set out for the land of Canaan,(O) and they arrived there.
6 Abram traveled through the land(P) as far as the site of the great tree of Moreh(Q) at Shechem.(R) At that time the Canaanites(S) were in the land. 7 The Lord appeared to Abram(T) and said, “To your offspring[c] I will give this land.(U)”(V) So he built an altar there to the Lord,(W) who had appeared to him.
8 From there he went on toward the hills east of Bethel(X) and pitched his tent,(Y) with Bethel on the west and Ai(Z) on the east. There he built an altar to the Lord and called on the name of the Lord.(AA)
9 Then Abram set out and continued toward the Negev.(AB)
Abram in Egypt(AC)
10 Now there was a famine in the land,(AD) and Abram went down to Egypt to live there for a while because the famine was severe.(AE) 11 As he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai,(AF) “I know what a beautiful woman(AG) you are. 12 When the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ Then they will kill me but will let you live. 13 Say you are my sister,(AH) so that I will be treated well for your sake and my life will be spared because of you.”
14 When Abram came to Egypt, the Egyptians saw that Sarai was a very beautiful woman.(AI) 15 And when Pharaoh’s officials saw her, they praised her to Pharaoh, and she was taken into his palace. 16 He treated Abram well for her sake, and Abram acquired sheep and cattle, male and female donkeys, male and female servants, and camels.(AJ)
17 But the Lord inflicted(AK) serious diseases on Pharaoh and his household(AL) because of Abram’s wife Sarai. 18 So Pharaoh summoned Abram. “What have you done to me?”(AM) he said. “Why didn’t you tell me she was your wife?(AN) 19 Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’(AO) so that I took her to be my wife? Now then, here is your wife. Take her and go!” 20 Then Pharaoh gave orders about Abram to his men, and they sent him on his way, with his wife and everything he had.

King James Version
12 Now 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:
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
4 So 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.
5 And 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.
6 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
7 And 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.
8 And 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.
9 And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.
10 And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.
11 And 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:
12 Therefore 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.
13 Say, 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.
14 And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
15 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
16 And 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.
17 And the Lord plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.
18 And 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?
19 Why 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.
20 And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
