Suencuek 13
1 Te dongah Abram loh a yuu khaw, anih taengah aka om boeih te khaw, amah taengkah Lot khaw Egypt lamkah Negev la a khuen.
So Abram went up out of Egypt into the Negev—he and his wife and all his possessions—and Lot was with him.
2 Te daengah te Abram loh boiva neh, ngun neh, sui nen khaw lutlut boei.
And Abram had become extremely wealthy in livestock and silver and gold.
3 Te dongah Negev lamkah a longpueng vaengah amah kah dap a om nah hmuen Bethel la cet. A moecuek vaengah anih kah dap te Bethel neh Ai laklo ah om.
From the Negev he journeyed from place to place toward Bethel, until he came to the place between Bethel and Ai where his tent had formerly been pitched,
4 Lamhma ah hmueihtuk hmuen la pahoi a khueh coeng dongah Abram loh BOEIPA ming pahoi a phoei.
to the site where he had built the altar. And there Abram called on the name of the LORD.
5 Te vaengah Lot khaw Abram neh puei uh tih boiva saelhung khaw, dap khaw, rhen a puen.
Now Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents.
6 Tedae tun khosak ham te khohmuen loh amih te noeng voel pawh. Amih rhoi kah khuehtawn khaw muep lo coeng tih tun khosak ham coeng pawh.
But the land was unable to support both of them while they stayed together, for they had so many possessions that they were unable to coexist.
7 Te dongah Abram kah boiva aka dawn rhoek neh Lot kah boiva aka dawn rhoek laklo ah khaw, te vaengah khohmuen kah kho aka sa Kanaan rhoek, Perizzi rhoek nen khaw tuituknah vik om.
And there was discord between the herdsmen of Abram and the herdsmen of Lot. At that time the Canaanites and the Perizzites were also living in the land.
8 Te dongah Abram loh Lot te, “Kai laklo neh nang laklo ah, ka boiva aka dawn laklo neh na boiva aka dawn laklo ah khaw tohhaemnah om mai boel saeh. Mamih boeina he tongpa rhoi ni.
So Abram said to Lot, “Please let there be no contention between you and me, or between your herdsmen and my herdsmen. After all, we are brothers.
9 Na hmai ah khohmuen a pum la a om pawt moenih a? Kai taeng lamloh hoep uh laeh. Banvoei te na loh atah bantang la ka cet vetih bantang te na loh atah ka banvoei bitni,” a ti nah.
Is not the whole land before you? Now separate yourself from me. If you go to the left, I will go to the right; if you go to the right, I will go to the left.”
10 Tedae Lot loh a mik te a huel vaengah Jordan vannaem boeih te tuisuep tangtae bangla boeih a om pah. Yahovah loh a phae hlankah Sodom neh Gomorrah khaw BOEIPA dum bangla, Zoar la a caeh vaengkah Egypt kho bangla a hmuh.
And Lot looked out and saw that the whole plain of the Jordan, all the way to Zoar, was well watered like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt. (This was before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)
11 Te dongah Lot loh amah ham te Jordan vannaem boeih te a tuek. Te dongah Lot te khothoeng la puen uh tih a manuca taeng lakah khat neh khat paek uh rhoi.
So Lot chose the whole plain of the Jordan for himself and set out toward the east. And Abram and Lot parted company.
12 Abram tah Kanaan kho ah kho a sak dae Lot tah vannaem kah khopuei rhoek ah kho a sak tih Sodom la puen uh.
Abram lived in the land of Canaan, but Lot settled in the cities of the plain and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
13 Tedae Sodom hlang rhoek tah thae uh tih BOEIPA taengah hlangtholh koek la om uh.
But the men of Sodom were wicked, sinning greatly against the LORD.
14 Tedae Lot a nong phoeiah BOEIPA loh Abram te, “Na mik huel lamtah na hmuen lamkah tlangpuei neh tuithim khaw, khothoeng neh tuitunli khaw so laeh.
After Lot had departed, the LORD said to Abram, “Now lift up your eyes from the place where you are, and look to the north and south and east and west,
15 Tekah khohmuen na hmuh boeih te kumhal duela nang taeng neh na tiingan taengah kam paek ni.
for all the land that you see, I will give to you and your offspring forever.
16 Te dongah na tiingan te diklai kah laipi bangla ka khueh ni. Diklai laipi te hlang loh tae ham a noeng atah nang kah tiingan te a tae thai van ni.
I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth, so that if one could count the dust of the earth, then your offspring could be counted.
17 Khohmuen te nang kan paek ham coeng dongah thoo lamtah khohmuen te a yun long khaw, a daang long khaw, hil lah,” a ti nah.
Get up and walk around the land, through its length and breadth, for I will give it to you.”
18 Te dongah Abram te puen uh tih a caeh vaengah Mamre thingnu ah kho a sak. Tekah thingnu te Hebron ah om tih tekah Hebron ah BOEIPA ham hmueihtuk a suem.
So Abram moved his tent and went to live near the Oaks of Mamre at Hebron, where he built an altar to the LORD.
