Chakruok 13

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

So Abram came up out of Egypt he and his wife and all that he had and Lot with him, towards the South.

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

Now, 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 his way, by his removals, from the South even as far as to Bethel, —as far as the place where his tent was at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai:

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

unto the place of the altar, which he made there at first, —and Abram called there, on the name of Yahweh.

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

Now, Lot also, who was going 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 suffered them not to dwell together, —because their substance had become, 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 betwixt the herdmen of Abram, and the herdmen of Lot. Now the Canaanite and the Perizzite, were then dwelling 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 then Abram said unto Lot Pray let not cause of strife arise betwixt me and thee, or betwixt my herdmen and thy herdmen; for brethren, are we.

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

Is not, all the land, before thee? I pray thee, separate thyself from me, —if to the left hand, then I will go to the right, if to the right hand, 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.)

So Lot lifted up his eyes and beheld all the circuit of the Jordan, that the whole of it, was well-watered, —before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the Garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt, as thou enterest into Zoar.

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

And Lot chose for himself all the circuit of the Jordan, so Lot brake up eastwards, —and they separated themselves, each man from his brother:

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

Abram, fixed his dwelling in the land of Canaan, —but, Lot, fixed his dwelling among the cities, of the circuit, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.

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

Now, the men of Sodom were base and sinful, —against Yahweh, 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, Yahweh, said unto Abram after that Lot had separated himself from him, Lift up, I pray thee thine 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 art beholding—to thee, will I give it, and to thy seed unto times age-abiding;

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, thy seed also, may be numbered.

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

Rise! go up and down in the land, to the length thereof and to the breadth thereof, for to 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.

So Abram moved his tent and came in and dwelt among the oaks of Mamre, which were in Hebron, —and built there an altar to Yahweh.
