Chakruok 13

1 Omiyo Abram nowuok Misri gi chiege kod Lut kod gik moko duto mane en-go kochomo Negev.

So Abram went up out of Egypt into the Negev—he and his wife and all his possessions—and Lot was with him.

2 Abram koro nosebedo ja-mwandu ahinya mar jamni gi fedha kod dhahabu.

And Abram had become extremely wealthy in livestock and silver and gold.

3 Nodhi nyime kod wuoth koa Negev kobuoro e yo nyaka nochopo Bethel, kumane okwongo geroe hembe e kind Bethel kod Ai,

From the Negev he journeyed from place to place toward Bethel, until he came to the place between Bethel and Ai where his tent had formerly been pitched,

4 kendo kama nokwongo geroe kendo mar misango. Kanyo Abram nolamoe Jehova Nyasaye.

to the site where he had built the altar. And there Abram called on the name of the LORD.

5 To Lut ma bende ne wuotho kod Abram neni kod jamni matindo mathoth, gi kweth mag dhok kod hembe.

Now Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents.

6 Kuonde mag kwath ne tin mane ok nyal romogi ka gidak kanyakla, nimar mwandu mane gin-go nomedore mane ok ginyal dak kaachiel.

But the land was unable to support both of them while they stayed together, for they had so many possessions that they were unable to coexist.

7 Kendo dhawo nowuok e kind jakwadh Abram kod jokwadh Lut. E kindeno jo-Kanaan kod jo-Perizi ne pod odak e pinyno.

And there was discord between the herdsmen of Abram and the herdsmen of Lot. At that time the Canaanites and the Perizzites were also living in the land.

8 Omiyo Abram nowacho ne Lut niya, “Kik dhawo bed e kindwa kata e kind jokwadhi kod jokwadha nikech wan wede.

So Abram said to Lot, “Please let there be no contention between you and me, or between your herdsmen and my herdsmen. After all, we are brothers.

9 Donge piny duto ni e lweti? Ber wapogre, kidhi koracham to adhi korachwich; to kidhi korachwich to adhi koracham.”

Is not the whole land before you? Now separate yourself from me. If you go to the left, I will go to the right; if you go to the right, I will go to the left.”

10 Lut notingʼo wangʼe moneno paw Jordan duto ka nitie gi pi maber mana ka puoth Jehova Nyasaye, machalo gi piny Misri kochiko Zoar. (Mano notimore kane pok Jehova Nyasaye oketho Sodom kod Gomora.)

And Lot looked out and saw that the whole plain of the Jordan, all the way to Zoar, was well watered like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt. (This was before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)

11 Omiyo Lut noyiero pewe duto mag Jordan kendo nowuok kochomo yo wuok chiengʼ. Mano e kaka ji ariyogi nopogore.

So Lot chose the whole plain of the Jordan for himself and set out toward the east. And Abram and Lot parted company.

12 Abram nodak e piny Kanaan, to Lut nodak e kind mier madongo manie paw Jordan kendo nogero hembene machiegni gi Sodom.

Abram lived in the land of Canaan, but Lot settled in the cities of the plain and pitched his tent toward Sodom.

13 Koro jo-Sodom ne gin joma okethore kendo matimo richo mag wangʼ teko e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.

But the men of Sodom were wicked, sinning greatly against the LORD.

14 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Abram kane Lut osepogore kode niya, “Tingʼ wangʼi gi kuma in tiere kendo ingʼi yo nyandwat gi yo milambo, yo wuok chiengʼ kod yo podho chiengʼ.

After Lot had departed, the LORD said to Abram, “Now lift up your eyes from the place where you are, and look to the north and south and east and west,

15 Piny duto ma inenono abiro miyi gi nyikwayi nyaka chiengʼ.

for all the land that you see, I will give to you and your offspring forever.

16 Anami nyikwayi bed mangʼeny mana ka buru mae lowo; ma ka ngʼato nyalo kwano buru, to nyikwayi bende inyalo kwan.

I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth, so that if one could count the dust of the earth, then your offspring could be counted.

17 Aa malo kendo iwuothi e tungʼ piny koni gi koni, nikech amiyigo.”

Get up and walk around the land, through its length and breadth, for I will give it to you.”

18 Omiyo Abram nopudho hembene mi odhi odak but yiende madongo mag Mamre ei Hebron, kamane ogeroe kendo mar misango ne Jehova Nyasaye.

So Abram moved his tent and went to live near the Oaks of Mamre at Hebron, where he built an altar to the LORD.
