Kamtawngnae 13
1 Hathnukkhu Izip ram hoi Abram a tâco teh akalae ram Negev lah vah a yu, a tawn e hnopai pueng hoi a kamthaw teh a hnuk vah Lot hai a kâbang.
Abram went up out of Egypt: he, his wife, and all his possessions, and Lot with him, into the Negev.
2 Abram teh saringnaw, suinaw, ngunnaw hoi lutlut a bawi.
Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in 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.
He went on his journeys from the Negev even to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,
4 Hmaloe pasuek e khoungroe a saknae hmuen koe bout a pha navah, Abram ni BAWIPA min a kaw.
to the place where he had first built the altar. And there Abram called on the name of God.
5 Abram koe kâbang e Lot hai tunaw, maitonaw hoi rimnaw a tawn van.
Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, 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.
The land was not able to support them while they stayed together, for they had so many possessions that they were unable to remain 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.
There was a strife between the herdsmen of Abram's livestock and the herdsmen of Lot's livestock. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite lived in the land at that time.
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.
Abram said to Lot, "Please, let there be no strife between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are relatives.
9 Na hmalah ram moi ao nahoehmaw. Kai koehoi cet leih. Nang avoilah na cet pawiteh kai aranglah ka cei han telah atipouh.
Isn't 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 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.
Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well-watered everywhere, like the garden of God, like the land of Egypt, in the direction of Zoar. (This was before God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)
11 Hottelah Lot ni Jordan yawn pueng a rawi. Hatdawkvah, Lot teh kanîtholah a cei teh buet touh hoi buet touh a kamphei roi.
So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated from each other.
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.
Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.
13 Hatei Sodom kho taminaw teh tamikathout lah ao awh teh, BAWIPA koevah tamikayon poung lah ao awh.
Now the people of Sodom were evil, sinning greatly against 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 had departed from him, "Now, lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward,
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 to you and to your offspring forever.
16 Na ca catounnaw vaiphu patetlah ka pungdaw sak han. Tami ni vaiphu touk thai pawiteh na ca catounnaw hai a touk thai han.
I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if one can count the dust of the earth, then your offspring also could be counted.
17 Thaw nateh ayung lahoi thoseh, adangka lahoi thoseh cet haw, kai ni na poe han.
Arise, walk through the land in its length and in its breadth; for I will give it to you."
18 Hatdawkvah, Abram ni rim a puen teh Hebron kho Mamre kathenkungnaw koe kho a sak teh, BAWIPA hanelah khoungroe a sak pouh.
Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to God.
