< Chakruok 13 >

1 Omiyo Abram nowuok Misri gi chiege kod Lut kod gik moko duto mane en-go kochomo Negev.
And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.
2 Abram koro nosebedo ja-mwandu ahinya mar jamni gi fedha kod dhahabu.
And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
3 Nodhi nyime kod wuoth koa Negev kobuoro e yo nyaka nochopo Bethel, kumane okwongo geroe hembe e kind Bethel kod Ai,
And he went on his journeys from the south even to Beth-el, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beth-el and 'Ai;
4 kendo kama nokwongo geroe kendo mar misango. Kanyo Abram nolamoe Jehova Nyasaye.
Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first; and Abram called there 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.
And Lot also, who went with Abram, 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.
And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together; for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.
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 arose a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle, and the herdmen of Lot's cattle; and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.
8 Omiyo Abram nowacho ne Lut niya, “Kik dhawo bed e kindwa kata e kind jokwadhi kod jokwadha nikech wan wede.
And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we are near relatives.
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 thee? Separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right, then 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 lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere; before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, [it was] like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, till thou comest unto Zoar.
11 Omiyo Lut noyiero pewe duto mag Jordan kendo nowuok kochomo yo wuok chiengʼ. Mano e kaka ji ariyogi nopogore.
Then Lot chose himself all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east; and they separated themselves the one from the other.
12 Abram nodak e piny Kanaan, to Lut nodak e kind mier madongo manie paw Jordan kendo nogero hembene machiegni gi Sodom.
Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan; and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tents, till close to 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 and sinners before the Lord exceedingly.
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.
And the Lord said unto Abram, after Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thy eyes, and look from the place where thou art, northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward;
15 Piny duto ma inenono abiro miyi gi nyikwayi nyaka chiengʼ.
For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed forever.
16 Anami nyikwayi bed mangʼeny mana ka buru mae lowo; ma ka ngʼato nyalo kwano buru, to nyikwayi bende inyalo kwan.
And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth; so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.
17 Aa malo kendo iwuothi e tungʼ piny koni gi koni, nikech amiyigo.”
Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for unto thee will I give it.
18 Omiyo Abram nopudho hembene mi odhi odak but yiende madongo mag Mamre ei Hebron, kamane ogeroe kendo mar misango ne Jehova Nyasaye.
Then Abram pitched his tent, and came and dwelt in the grove of Mamre, which is in Hebron; and he built there an altar unto the Lord.
