Genesis 13
1 Abram went up out of Egypt—he, his wife, all that he had, and Lot with him—into the South.
Ebram na nwunye, na ihe niile ha nwere hapụrụ ala Ijipt, gaa ije bịaruo Negev. Lọt sokwa ha.
2 Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.
Nʼoge a, Ebram aghọọla ọgaranya dị ukwuu, onye nwere akụnụba nke ọtụtụ anụ ụlọ, na ọlaọcha, na ọlaedo.
3 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,
Ha sitere na Negev pụọ ije site nʼotu ebe ruo nʼebe ọzọ tutu ha erute Betel, nʼebe dị nʼetiti Betel na Ai, ebe ọ mara ụlọ ikwu ya na mbụ.
4 to the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first. There Abram called on the LORD’s name.
Nʼebe nsọ o wukwara ebe ịchụ aja na mbụ, nʼebe ahụ Ebram kpọkuru aha Onyenwe anyị.
5 Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, herds, and tents.
Ugbu a Lọt, onye ya na Ebram so na njem ya, bụkwa onye nwere akụnụba nke igwe ewu na atụrụ, na igwe ehi, na ọtụtụ ụlọ ikwu.
6 The land was not able to bear them, that they might live together; for their possessions were so great that they could not live together.
Ma ala ebe ha nọ ezurughị ha mgbe ha nọkọrọ ọnụ nʼihi na ihe onwunwe ha dị ukwuu ruo na ha enweghị ike ịnọkọ ọnụ.
7 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.
Nke a mere esemokwu ji dapụta nʼetiti ndị ọzụzụ anụ ụlọ Ebram na ndị ọzụzụ anụ ụlọ Lọt. Ndị Kenan na ndị Periz bikwa nʼala ahụ nʼoge ahụ.
8 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.
Ya mere Ebram gwara Lọt sị, “Biko, ka esemokwu ghara ịdị nʼetiti mụ na gị, maọbụ nʼetiti ndị ọzụzụ anụ ụlọ m na ndị ọzụzụ anụ ụlọ gị, nʼihi na anyị bụ ụmụnne.
9 Is not 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.”
Lee, ọ bụ na ala a niile adịghị nʼihu gị? Ka anyị kewaa. Ọ bụrụ na ị gaa nʼakụkụ aka ekpe, aga m aga nʼakụkụ aka nri. Ma ọ bụrụ na i gaa nʼakụkụ aka nri gị, aga m aga nʼakụkụ aka ekpe.”
10 Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well-watered everywhere, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as you go to Zoar.
Lọt lelitere anya hụ na mbara ala Jọdan bụ ala mmiri na-ezokwasị nke ọma, ala dịka ubi a gbara ogige Onyenwe anyị, dịka ala ndị Ijipt nke dị na nso nso Zoa. (Ihe a mere tupu Onyenwe anyị ebibie obodo Sọdọm na Gọmọra.)
11 So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated themselves from one other.
Ya mere, Lọt họọrọ nye onwe ya mbara ala Jọdan niile, chee ihu ịga nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ. Ya na Ebram kewara.
12 Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.
Ebram nọdụrụ nʼala Kenan, ma Lọt gara biri nʼetiti obodo ndị ahụ dị na mbara ala. Ọ mara ụlọ ikwu ya nso nso obodo Sọdọm.
13 Now the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinners against the LORD.
Ma ndị Sọdọm bụ ndị obi tara mmiri, ndị na-emehie nke ukwuu megide Onyenwe anyị.
14 The LORD 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,
Mgbe Lọt siri nʼebe ahụ pụọ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Ebram okwu sị ya, “Site nʼebe ahụ ị nọ lelie anya gị, lee anya nʼugwu na ndịda, nʼọwụwa anyanwụ na ọdịda anyanwụ.
15 for I will give all the land which you see to you and to your offspring forever.
Ala ahụ niile ị hụrụ ka m ga-enye gị na mkpụrụ gị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
16 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.
Aga m eme ka mkpụrụ gị baa ụba dịka aja dị nʼala. Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ enwe ike ịgụta ọnụọgụgụ aja dị nʼala, ha ga-enwe ike gụta ọnụọgụgụ mkpụrụ gị.
17 Arise, walk through the land in its length and in its width; for I will give it to you.”
Bilie jegharịa nʼala ahụ niile nʼakụkụ ya ọbụla, nʼihi na ana m enye gị ha niile.”
18 Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to the LORD.
Ya mere, Ebram bugharịrị ụlọ ikwu ya, gaa biri nʼakụkụ osisi ukwu Mamre nke dị na Hebrọn. O wuru ebe ịchụ aja nye Onyenwe anyị nʼebe ahụ.
