And Abram was very rich in cattle, and silver, and gold.
3 Negev ram lahoi bout a kamthaw teh ahmaloe pasuek e rim ao na koe lah a cei. Hote im teh Bethel hoi Ai kho rahak vah ao.
And he went [to the place] whence he came, into the wilderness as far as Baethel, as far as the place where his tent was before, between Baethel and Aggai,
4 Hmaloe pasuek e khoungroe a saknae hmuen koe bout a pha navah, Abram ni BAWIPA min a kaw.
to the place of the altar, which he built there at first, and Abram there called on the name of the Lord.
5 Abram koe kâbang e Lot hai tunaw, maitonaw hoi rimnaw a tawn van.
And Lot who went out with Abram had sheep, and oxen, and tents.
6 Ahnimouh roi teh cungtalah kho rei a sak roi hanelah, hote ram ni khout hoeh. Hnopai a tawn roi e ekvoi apap dawkvah cungtalah kho sak thai roi hoeh toe.
And the land was not large enough for them to live together, because their possessions were great; and the land was not large enough for them to live together.
7 Hatdawkvah, Abram e saring kakhoumnaw hoi Lot e saring kakhoumnaw kâpohoehnae ao. Hat nae tueng dawk Kanaan tami hoi Periznaw hote ram dawk ao awh.
And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle, and the herdmen of Lot's cattle, and the Chananites and the Pherezites then inhabited the land.
8 Hahoi, Abram ni Lot koevah, maimouh roi teh, hmaunawngha roi doeh. Hatdawkvah, nang hoi kai rahak thoseh, nange saring kakhoumnaw hoi kaie saring kakhoumnaw rahak thoseh kâpohoehnae awm hanh naseh.
And Abram said to Lot, Let there not be a strife between me and you, and between my herdmen and your herdmen, for we are brethren.
9 Na hmalah ram moi ao nahoehmaw. Kai koehoi cet leih. Nang avoilah na cet pawiteh kai aranglah ka cei han telah atipouh.
Behold! is not the whole land before you? Separate yourself from me; if you [go] to the left, I will go to the right, and if you go to the right, I will go to the left.
10 Lot ni a radoung navah, Jordan yawn pueng teh tui ka duk niteh, Jehovah e takha patetlah Sodom hoi Gomorrah kho BAWIPA ni a raphoe hoehnahlan, Zoar lah ceinae Izip ram patetlah a hmu.
And Lot having lifted up his eyes, observed all the country round about Jordan, that it was all watered, before God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrha, as the garden of the Lord, and as the land of Egypt, until you come to Zogora.
11 Hottelah Lot ni Jordan yawn pueng a rawi. Hatdawkvah, Lot teh kanîtholah a cei teh buet touh hoi buet touh a kamphei roi.
And Lot chose for himself all the country round Jordan, and Lot went from the east, and they were separated each from his brother. And Abram lived in the land of Chanaan.
12 Abram teh Kanaan ram dawk kho a sak. Lot teh thingyei yawn dawk e khopuinaw koe kho a sak teh, Sodom kho teng rim a sak.
And Lot lived in a city of the neighbouring people, and pitched his tent in Sodom.
13 Hatei Sodom kho taminaw teh tamikathout lah ao awh teh, BAWIPA koevah tamikayon poung lah ao awh.
But the men of Sodom were evil, and exceedingly sinful before God.
14 Lot hoi a kamphei hnukkhu BAWIPA ni Abram a kaw teh na onae hmuen koehoi atung, aka, kanîtho, kanîloumlah radoung haw.
And God said to Abram after Lot was separated from him, Look up with your eyes, and behold from the place where you now are northward and southward, and eastward and seaward;
15 Na hmu e ram pueng nama hoi na ca catounnaw na poe vaiteh a yungyoe e ram lah ao han.
for all the land which you see, I will give it to you and to your seed for ever.
16 Na ca catounnaw vaiphu patetlah ka pungdaw sak han. Tami ni vaiphu touk thai pawiteh na ca catounnaw hai a touk thai han.
And I will make your seed like the dust of the earth; if any one is able to number the dust of the earth, then shall your seed be numbered.
17 Thaw nateh ayung lahoi thoseh, adangka lahoi thoseh cet haw, kai ni na poe han.
Arise and traverse the land, both in the length of it and in the breadth; for to you will I give it, and to your seed for ever.
18 Hatdawkvah, Abram ni rim a puen teh Hebron kho Mamre kathenkungnaw koe kho a sak teh, BAWIPA hanelah khoungroe a sak pouh.
And Abram having removed his tent, came and lived by the oak of Mambre, which was in Chebrom, and he there built an altar to the Lord.
