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 went up from Egypt and went into the Negev, he, his wife, and all that he had. Lot also went with them.
2 A: ibala: me da bagade gagui dunu esalu. E da sibi, goudi, bulamagau, silifa amola gouli bagohame gagui galu.
Now Abram was very rich in animals, in silver, and in 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.
He continued on his journey from the Negev to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been before, between Bethel and Ai.
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.
He went to the place where the altar was that he had built previously. Here he called on the name of 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.
Now Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had flocks, herds, and tents.
6 Amaiba: le, lai gebo bagohame esalebeba: le, ela da gilisili esaloma: ne sogebi amola gisi da fonabahadi ba: i.
The land was not able to support them both living close together, because their possessions were very many, so that they could not stay together.
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)
Also, there was a dispute between the herdsmen of Abram's animals and the herdsmen of Lot's animals. The Canaanites and the Perizzites were living in the land at that time.
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, “Let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen; after all, we are family.
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.”
Is not the whole land before you? Go ahead and separate yourself from me. If you go to the left, then I will go to the right. Or if you go to the right, then I will go to the left.”
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)
So Lot looked around, and saw that the whole plain of the Jordan was well watered everywhere all the way to Zoar, like the garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt. This was before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.
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 for himself all the plain of the Jordan and traveled east, and the relatives separated from each other.
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 lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived among the cities of the plain. He set up his tents as far away as Sodom.
13 Sodame dunu da Gode Ea hou higa: iba: le, wadela: i bagade hamosu dunu fi ba: i.
Now the men of Sodom were very wicked sinners against Yahweh.
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.
Yahweh said to Abram after Lot had departed from him, “Look from the place where you are standing to the north, south, 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.
All this land which you see, I will give to you and to your descendants 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 make your descendants as abundant as the dust of the earth, so that if a man could count the dust of the earth, then your descendants could also be counted.
17 Na da amo soge huluane dima imunu. Amaiba: le, amo soge huluane abodela masa.
Arise, walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I will give it 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 picked up his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and there built an altar to Yahweh.
