Mui 13
1 A: ibala: me da Idibidi yolesili, gano asili, Ga: ina: ne soge amo ga (south) la: idi doaga: i. E da ea uda amola Lode oule, ea liligi huluane aguni asi.
So Abram and Sarai left Egypt, and they took along all his possessions, and Lot went with them to the Negev [Desert].
2 A: ibala: me da bagade gagui dunu esalu. E da sibi, goudi, bulamagau, silifa amola gouli bagohame gagui galu.
Abram was very rich. He owned a lot of livestock, silver and gold.
3 Amalalu, amo soge yolesili asili, e da eno soge eno soge amoga asili, Bedele moilaiga doaga: musa: logo amoga asi. E da sogebi amo Bedele amola A: iai dogoa dialu, amoga e da musa: abula diasu moilai gaguia, amoga doaga: i dagoi.
They continued traveling from place to place from the Negev [Desert] toward Bethel [town] to the place between Bethel and Ai where they had previously set up their tents,
4 Amo sogebi e da musa: oloda gagui galu. E da amo sogebi Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadoi amola Hina Gode Ea Dioba: le Ema wei.
and where Abram had made a stone altar and worshiped Yahweh.
5 Lode da sibi, goudi, amola bulamagau gaguiwane, A:ibala: mela lalu. Ea sosogo fi dunu amola ea hawa: hamosu dunu amogawi esalebe ba: i.
Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had flocks of sheep and goats and herds of cattle, and tents.
6 Amaiba: le, lai gebo bagohame esalebeba: le, ela da gilisili esaloma: ne sogebi amola gisi da fonabahadi ba: i.
But they had so many animals that they could not all stay in the same area. There was not enough land to provide water and food for all their animals.
7 Amaiba: le, A:ibala: me ea lai gebo ouligisu dunu amola Lode ea lai gebo ouligisu dunu da sia: ga gegei. (Amo esoga, Ga: ina: ne fi amola Bilese fi da amo soge ganodini esalu)
Furthermore, the descendants of Canaan and Perizzi were also living in that area, and the land really belonged to them. And the men who took care of Abram’s animals started quarreling with the men who took care of Lot’s animals.
8 Amalalu, A:ibala: me da Lodema amane sia: i, “Ani da fidafa. Amaiba: le, ania hawa: hamosu dunu sia: ga gegemu da defea hame galebe.
So Abram said to Lot, “Since we are close relatives, it is not good for us two to quarrel, or for the men who take care of your animals to quarrel with the men who take care of my animals.
9 Ania afafamu da defea. Di fawane sia: ma! Dia hanai soge, di ilegema. Di da guma: soge lamusa: dawa: sea, defea, na da gusu lamu. Di da gusu lamusa: dawa: sea, na da guma: lamu.”
There is plenty of land for both of us. So we should separate. You can choose whatever part you want [RHQ]. If you want the area over there, I will stay here. If you want the area here, I will go over there.”
10 Lode da la: ididili amola la: ididili ba: lalu, e da Yodane Hano bega: soge huluane amo asili Soua moilaiga doaga: i. Amo hano la: ididili umi ida: iwane soge da hano bagade dialu, Idini Ifabi amola Idibidi soge amo defele ba: i. (Amo esoga Gode da Sodame amola Goumola hame wadela: lesi)
Lot looked around toward Zoar [town], and saw that there was plenty of water all over the plain near the Jordan [River]. It was like the park/garden in Eden, and like the land in Egypt. [That was before Yahweh destroyed [the cities of] Sodom and Gomorrah which were on that plain.]
11 Amaiba: le, Lode da Yodane Hano umi soge lamusa: ilegei. E da eso maba la: ididili amoga asili, A:ibala: mema afafai.
So Lot chose the land in the plain of the Jordan [River]. He left his uncle, Abram, and moved east.
12 A: ibala: me da Ga: ina: ne sogega esalu. Be Lode da moilale gagai amo Yodane Hano umiga dialu, amo dogoa fi galu. E da Sodame moilai bai bagade gadenenewane fi.
Abram stayed in the Canaan area, and Lot started to live near the cities in the plain of the Jordan [River], and he set up his tents near Sodom [city].
13 Sodame dunu da Gode Ea hou higa: iba: le, wadela: i bagade hamosu dunu fi ba: i.
[You need to know that] people who lived there were extremely wicked.
14 Lode da afafane asi ba: loba, Hina Gode da A: ibala: mema amane sia: i, “Defea! Di soge huluane ba: ma! Eso maba la: ididili amola eso dabe gududili huluane ba: ma.
After Abram and Lot separated, Yahweh said to Abram, “Look around at this whole area where you are. Look north and south, look east and west.
15 Amo soge huluanedafa Na da di amola digaga lalelegemu fi ilima imunu. Amo soge da di amola dia fi eso huluane mae yolesili dilia soge dialumu.
I will give to you and your descendants all the land that you see; I will give it to you forever.
16 Na da dima mano bagohame imunu. Osobo bagade dunu da ilia idi idimu hamedeiwane ba: mu. Osobo dou afae afae idimu da hamedei. Amo defele digaga mano lalelegemu amo idimu da hamedei ba: mu.
I will cause your descendants to be as numerous as particles of dust! [It will be easier] to count the particles of dust than it will be to count your descendants [HYP].
17 Na da amo soge huluane dima imunu. Amaiba: le, amo soge huluane abodela masa.
Walk through the land in every direction, because I am going to give it all to you.”
18 Amalalu, A:ibala: me da ea abula diasu mugululi, asili amo sema ifa ea dio amo Ma: malei amo Hibalone moilai bai bagade gadenene fi galu. Amogai e da Godema gobele salasu fafai (oloda) hamoi.
So Abram [and his men] took down their tents and moved to Hebron and started to live by the huge trees [at the town] Mamre. He placed a stone altar there to [make sacrifices to] Yahweh.
