And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the South.

2 Abram chun gancha anei lheh jeng tan, hiche keo hilouvin sana le dangka jong ahao lheh jengtan ahi.

And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.

3 Hitichun Negev apat Bethel geiyin ahung cheng un, chuleh Bethel le Ai kikah mun a khoilupon in asong un phat masa a ana um bang in,

And he went on his journeys from the South even to Beth-el, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beth-el and Ai;

4 Hiche mun chu ahile Abram in maicham anasem dohna mun ahin hikom achun Pathen in avel in ana hou kit tai.

unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first; and Abram called there on the name of the LORD.

5 Lot, Abram toh kilhon jing pa jong chu ahung hao lheh tan kelngoi hon ahin kelcha hon ahin tamtah ahin nei tan chule khoilupon in jong ahin nei doh tan ahi.

And Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.

6 Hinlah gam achen nau chu Abram le Lot dingin ahung neo lheh jeng tai, ajeh chu akelngoi hon ho le kelcha hon ho ahin gancha dang ho aum khom thei tapouve.

And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together; for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.

7 Hijeh chun Abram le Lot gancha chingho kahlah a kihet khelna ahung um doh tan hiche phatlai chun Canaaan mite le Perizzite mite jong ana cheng khom uve.

And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelt then in the land.

8 Achainakeiyin Abram in Lot jah'a hitin aseiye, “Eini kiheto themsel hite nang ma le kei gancha ching ho kahlah'a, ajeh chu eiho hi ucha kinai tah ihi bouve.

And Abram said unto Lot: 'Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we are brethren.

9 Ven na masanga gam-ong lenpitah hi nanga ahiye, nangman kilhen in hoilam hi nadei ham kilhen in ikihop ding ahi. Leiset gam ong veilam nadei le keiman gam ong jetlam kaki lah ding, nangman jetlam aphajoi nati le keiman na dei lou lang chu kaki lhen mai ding ahi tai,” ati.

Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me; if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou take the right hand, then I will go to the left.'

10 Lot chun phat sottah gam chu aven gam pha leithao potna mun Jordan phaicham lang chu Zoar lang toh kinai lang deu, hilang chu ahile aphat seh a twiyin achapnou na mun gam Pathen honlei toh bang twi chap nou jing ahi louleh Egypt te honlei banga hoitah ahi. Hiche phatlai chu Pakaiyin Sodom le Gomorrah asuhmang masang ana hi.

And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou goest unto Zoar.

11 Hijeh chun Lot in jong Jordan vadung phaicham pumpi chu akilhen in, hiti chun Lot chu niso lam jonin akitol tai; hitobang hin amani aki inkhen lhontan ahi.

So Lot chose him all the plain of the Jordan; and Lot journeyed east; and they separated themselves the one from the other.

12 Hichun Abram Canaan gam'a cheng din aum tai. Chua chun Lot'in ama khoilupon buh chu Sodom gam toh kinai phaicham geiyin aga songdoh pehin ahi.

Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the Plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.

13 Hinlah hiche Sodom mite chu apha mothei lheh un, chule agilou thei lheh un Pathen douna in akisa chavai lheh un ahi.

Now the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners against the LORD exceedingly.

14 Lot apotdoh jou phat in Pathenin Abram chu ahoulim pi in, “Vetem in namit a namu phah chan gam ninggei achunglam anoilam, solam le lhumlam.

And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him: 'Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art, northward and southward and eastward and westward;

15 Keiman nangma hiche gam jouse namit'a namu phah jouse nangma le na chilhahte jouse tonsot'a nei le gou va kapeh na hitai.

for all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.

16 Keiman na son na chilhahte chu leiset'a leivui jat ka phahsah ding, leiset leivui jat sim jou lou banga nang son le chilhahte jong simjou lou ahi bouve.

And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth; so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.

17 Hijeh chun kipatdoh in lang agamsung hi adung avai asuh atung in ga kholtoh in, Ajeh chu ken nangma kapeh ding ahi.”

Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for unto thee will I give it.'

And Abram moved his tent, and came and dwelt by the terebinths of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD.
