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.

And Abram goeth up from Egypt (he and his wife, and all that he hath, and Lot with him) towards the south;

2 Te daengah te Abram loh boiva neh, ngun neh, sui nen khaw lutlut boei.

and Abram [is] exceedingly wealthy 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 goeth on his journeyings from the south, even unto Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the commencement, between Bethel and Hai —

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 the first, and there doth Abram preach in the name of Jehovah.

5 Te vaengah Lot khaw Abram neh puei uh tih boiva saelhung khaw, dap khaw, rhen a puen.

And also to Lot, who is going with Abram, there hath been sheep and oxen 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 hath not suffered them to dwell together, for their substance hath been much, and they have not been able to 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 is a strife between those feeding Abram's cattle and those feeding Lot's cattle; and the Canaanite and the Perizzite [are] 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.

And Abram saith unto Lot, 'Let there not, I pray thee, be strife between me and thee, and between my shepherds and thy shepherds, for we [are] men — brethren.

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? be parted, I pray thee, from me; if to the left, then I to the right; and if to the right, then I 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 lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the whole circuit of the Jordan that it [is] all a watered country (before Jehovah's destroying Sodom and Gomorrah, as Jehovah's garden, as the land of Egypt, ) in thy coming toward 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 chooseth for himself the whole circuit of the Jordan; and Lot journeyeth from the east, and they are parted — a man from his companion;

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 hath dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot hath dwelt in the cities of the circuit, and tenteth unto Sodom;

13 Tedae Sodom hlang rhoek tah thae uh tih BOEIPA taengah hlangtholh koek la om uh.

and the men of Sodom [are] evil, and sinners before Jehovah 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 Jehovah said unto Abram, after Lot's being parted 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 the whole of the land which thou are seeing, to thee I give it, and to thy seed — to the age.

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 have set thy seed as dust of the earth, so that, if one is able to number the dust of the earth, even thy seed is 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 through the land, to its length, and to its breadth, for to thee 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.

And Abram tenteth, and cometh, and dwelleth among the oaks of Mamre, which [are] in Hebron, and buildeth there an altar to Jehovah.
