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 came up out of Egypt he and his wife and all that he had and Lot with him, towards the South.
2 Te daengah te Abram loh boiva neh, ngun neh, sui nen khaw lutlut boei.
Now, Abram, was very rich, —in cattle, in silver and in 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.
And he went his way, by his removals, from the South even as far as to Bethel, —as far as the place where his tent was at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai:
4 Lamhma ah hmueihtuk hmuen la pahoi a khueh coeng dongah Abram loh BOEIPA ming pahoi a phoei.
unto the place of the altar, which he made there at first, —and Abram called there, on the name of Yahweh.
5 Te vaengah Lot khaw Abram neh puei uh tih boiva saelhung khaw, dap khaw, rhen a puen.
Now, Lot also, who was going with Abram, had flocks and herds and tents.
6 Tedae tun khosak ham te khohmuen amih te noeng voel pawh. Amih rhoi kah khuehtawn khaw muep lo coeng tih tun khosak ham coeng pawh.
And the land suffered them not to dwell together, —because their substance had become, great, so that they could not dwell together.
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 arose a strife betwixt the herdmen of Abram, and the herdmen of Lot. Now the Canaanite and the Perizzite, were then dwelling 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 then Abram said unto Lot Pray let not cause of strife arise betwixt me and thee, or betwixt my herdmen and thy herdmen; for brethren, are we.
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, all the land, before thee? I pray thee, separate thyself from me, —if to the left hand, then I will go to the right, if to the right hand, then 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.
So Lot lifted up his eyes and beheld all the circuit of the Jordan, that the whole of it, was well-watered, —before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the Garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt, as thou enterest into Zoar.
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.
And Lot chose for himself all the circuit of the Jordan, so Lot brake up eastwards, —and they separated themselves, each man from his brother:
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, fixed his dwelling in the land of Canaan, —but, Lot, fixed his dwelling among the cities, of the circuit, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.
13 Tedae Sodom hlang rhoek tah thae uh tih BOEIPA taengah hlangtholh koek la om uh.
Now, the men of Sodom were base and sinful, —against Yahweh, exceedingly.
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.
And, Yahweh, said unto Abram after that Lot had separated himself from him, Lift up, I pray thee thine eyes and look, from the place where thou art, —northward and southward and eastward and westward;
15 Tekah khohmuen na hmuh boeih te kumhal duela nang taeng neh na tiingan taengah kam paek ni.
for all the land which thou art beholding—to thee, will I give it, and to thy seed unto times age-abiding;
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.
and I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth, —so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, thy seed also, may be numbered.
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.
Rise! go up and down in the land, to the length thereof and to the breadth thereof, for to thee, will I give it.
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 came in and dwelt among the oaks of Mamre, which were in Hebron, —and built there an altar to Yahweh.
