< Chakruok 13 >

1 Omiyo Abram nowuok Misri gi chiege kod Lut kod gik moko duto mane en-go kochomo Negev.
Abram went up out of Egypt—he, his wife, all that he had, and Lot with him—into the South.
2 Abram koro nosebedo ja-mwandu ahinya mar jamni gi fedha kod dhahabu.
Abram was very rich in livestock, 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,
He went on his journeys from the South as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,
4 kendo kama nokwongo geroe kendo mar misango. Kanyo Abram nolamoe Jehova Nyasaye.
to the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first. There Abram called on Yahweh’s name.
5 To Lut ma bende ne wuotho kod Abram neni kod jamni matindo mathoth, gi kweth mag dhok kod hembe.
Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, 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.
The land was not able to bear them, that they might live together; for their possessions were so great that they couldn’t live together.
7 Kendo dhawo nowuok e kind jakwadh Abram kod jokwadh Lut. E kindeno jo-Kanaan kod jo-Perizi ne pod odak e pinyno.
There was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. The Canaanites and the Perizzites lived in the land at that time.
8 Omiyo Abram nowacho ne Lut niya, “Kik dhawo bed e kindwa kata e kind jokwadhi kod jokwadha nikech wan wede.
Abram said to Lot, “Please, let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen; for we are relatives.
9 Donge piny duto ni e lweti? Ber wapogre, kidhi koracham to adhi korachwich; to kidhi korachwich to adhi koracham.”
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 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.)
Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well-watered everywhere, before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt, as you go to Zoar.
11 Omiyo Lut noyiero pewe duto mag Jordan kendo nowuok kochomo yo wuok chiengʼ. Mano e kaka ji ariyogi nopogore.
So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated themselves from one other.
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, and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, 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 exceedingly wicked and sinners against Yahweh.
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.
Yahweh said to Abram, after Lot was separated from him, “Now, lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward,
15 Piny duto ma inenono abiro miyi gi nyikwayi nyaka chiengʼ.
for I will give all the land which you see to you and to 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 as the dust of the earth, so that if a man can count the dust of the earth, then your offspring may also be counted.
17 Aa malo kendo iwuothi e tungʼ piny koni gi koni, nikech amiyigo.”
Arise, walk through the land in its length and in its width; 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.
Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to Yahweh.
