1 Hichun Abram'in ajinu Sarai, asopipa Lot toh, Egypt gam chu adalha uvin chunglam Negev mun lang jonin achetou tai.
Hivyo Abramu akakwea kutoka Misri kwenda Negebu, yeye na mkewe na kila kitu alichokuwa nacho, pia Loti akaenda pamoja naye.
2 Abram chun gancha anei lheh jeng tan, hiche keo hilouvin sana le dangka jong ahao lheh jengtan ahi.
Wakati huo Abramu alikuwa tajiri sana wa mifugo, fedha na dhahabu.
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,
Kutoka Negebu, akapita mahali hadi mahali, hadi akafika Betheli, mahali hapo ambapo mwanzoni alipiga hema lake kati ya Betheli na Ai
4 Hiche mun chu ahile Abram in maicham anasem dohna mun ahin hikom achun Pathen in avel in ana hou kit tai.
hapo ambapo alikuwa amejenga madhabahu ya kwanza. Huko Abramu akaliitia jina la Bwana.
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.
Basi Loti, ambaye alikuwa anafuatana na Abramu, alikuwa pia na makundi ya mbuzi, kondoo, ngʼombe na mahema.
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.
Lakini nchi haikuwatosha kukaa pamoja kwa ajili ya wingi wa mali zao.
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.
Ukazuka ugomvi kati ya wachunga mifugo wa Abramu na wale wa Loti. Wakati huo, Wakanaani na Waperizi ndio waliokuwa wenyeji wa nchi hiyo.
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.
Hivyo Abramu akamwambia Loti, “Pasiwe na ugomvi wowote kati yangu na wewe, wala kati ya wachungaji wangu na wako, kwa kuwa sisi ni ndugu.
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.
Je, nchi yote haiko mbele yako? Tutengane. Kama ukielekea kushoto, nitakwenda kulia; kama ukielekea kulia, mimi nitakwenda kushoto.”
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.
Loti akatazama akaona lile bonde lote la Yordani kuwa lilikuwa na maji tele, kama bustani ya Bwana, kama nchi ya Misri, kuelekea Soari. (Hii ilikuwa kabla Bwana hajaharibu Sodoma na Gomora.)
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.
Hivyo Loti akajichagulia bonde lote la Yordani, akaelekea upande wa mashariki. Watu hao wawili wakatengana:
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.
Abramu akaishi katika nchi ya Kanaani, wakati Loti aliishi miongoni mwa miji ya lile bonde na kupiga mahema yake karibu na Sodoma.
13 Hinlah hiche Sodom mite chu apha mothei lheh un, chule agilou thei lheh un Pathen douna in akisa chavai lheh un ahi.
Basi watu wa Sodoma walikuwa waovu, wakifanya sana dhambi dhidi ya Bwana.
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.
Baada ya Loti kuondoka Bwana akamwambia Abramu, “Ukiwa hapo ulipo, inua macho yako utazame kaskazini na kusini, mashariki na magharibi.
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.
Nchi yote unayoiona nitakupa wewe na uzao wako hata milele.
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.
Nitaufanya uzao wako uwe mwingi kama mavumbi ya nchi, hivyo kama kuna yeyote awezaye kuhesabu mavumbi, basi uzao wako utahesabika.
17 Hijeh chun kipatdoh in lang agamsung hi adung avai asuh atung in ga kholtoh in, Ajeh chu ken nangma kapeh ding ahi.”
Ondoka, tembea katika marefu na mapana ya nchi, kwa maana ninakupa wewe.”
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.
Basi Abramu akaondoa mahema yake, akaenda kuishi karibu na mialoni ya Mamre huko Hebroni, huko akamjengea Bwana madhabahu.
