Avram [Exalted father] went up out of Egypt [Abode of slavery]— he, his wife, all that he had, and Lot [Veil, Covering] with him— into the South.
2 Abram chun gancha anei lheh jeng tan, hiche keo hilouvin sana le dangka jong ahao lheh jengtan ahi.
Avram [Exalted father] was very rich in livestock, 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,
He went on his journeys from the South even to Beth-el [House of God], to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beth-el [House of God] and Ai,
4 Hiche mun chu ahile Abram in maicham anasem dohna mun ahin hikom achun Pathen in avel in ana hou kit tai.
to the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first. There Avram [Exalted father] called on Adonai’s name.
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.
Lot [Veil, Covering] also, who went with Avram [Exalted father], had flocks, 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.
The land was not able to bear them, that they might live together; for their substance was great, so that they could not live 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.
There was strife between the herdsmen of Avram [Exalted father]’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot [Veil, Covering]’s livestock. The Canaanites [Descendants of Humbled] and the Perizzites [Descendants of Belonging to village] lived in the land at that time.
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.
Avram [Exalted father] said to Lot [Veil, Covering], “Please, let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen; for we are relatives.
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 you? Please separate yourself from me. If you go to the left hand, then I will go to the right. Or if you go to 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.
Lot [Veil, Covering] lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain of the Jordan [Descender], that it was well-watered everywhere, before Adonai destroyed Sodom [Burning] and Gomorrah [Rebellious people, Tyrants], like the garden of Adonai, like the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], as you go to Zoar [Small].
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 [Veil, Covering] chose the Plain of the Jordan [Descender] for himself. Lot [Veil, Covering] traveled 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.
Avram [Exalted father] lived in the land of Canaan [Humbled], and Lot [Veil, Covering] lived in the 'Ieyr HaKikar [Cities of the Round], and moved his tent as far as Sodom [Burning].
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 [Burning] were exceedingly wicked and people who sin ·intentionally miss the mark goal· against Adonai.
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.
Adonai said to Avram [Exalted father], after Lot [Veil, Covering] was separated from him, “Now, lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are, 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 you see, I will give to you, and to your offspring forever.
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.
I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if a man can count the dust of the earth, then your offspring may also be counted.
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 its length and in its width; for I will give it to you.”
18 Hichun Abram'in aumna chu Hebron mun a achon in gangpi thing kena kom Mamre kiti mun chu ahi. Chule Abram in hiche mun achun Pakaiya dingin maicham khat asem in ahi.
Avram [Exalted father] moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre [Bitter, Fatness], which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to Adonai.
