Genesis 13
1 So Abram went up out of Egypt into the Negev—he and his wife and all his possessions—and Lot was with him.
Te dongah Abram loh a yuu khaw, anih taengah aka om boeih te khaw, amah taengkah Lot khaw Egypt lamkah Negev la a khuen.
2 And Abram had become extremely wealthy in livestock and silver and gold.
Te daengah te Abram loh boiva neh, ngun neh, sui nen khaw lutlut boei.
3 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,
Te dongah Negev lamkah a longpueng vaengah amah kah dap a om nah hmuen Bethel la cet. A moecuek vaengah anih kah dap te Bethel neh Ai laklo ah om.
4 to the site where he had built the altar. And there Abram called on the name of the LORD.
Lamhma ah hmueihtuk hmuen la pahoia khueh coeng dongah Abram loh BOEIPA ming pahoia phoei.
5 Now Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents.
Te vaengah Lot khaw Abram neh puei uh tih boiva saelhung khaw, dap khaw, rhena puen.
6 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.
Tedae tun khosak hamte khohmuen amih te noeng voel pawh. Amih rhoi kah khuehtawn khaw muep lo coeng tih tun khosak ham coeng pawh.
7 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.
Te dongah Abram kah boiva aka dawnrhoek neh Lot kah boiva aka dawnrhoek lakloah khaw, te vaengah khohmuen kah kho aka sa Kanaan rhoek, Perizzi rhoek nen khaw tuituknah vik om.
8 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.
Te dongah Abram loh Lot te, “Kai laklo neh nang laklo ah, ka boiva aka dawn laklo neh na boiva aka dawn laklo ah khaw tohhaemnah om mai boel saeh. Mamih boeina he tongpa rhoi ni.
9 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.”
Na hmai ah khohmuena pum la a om pawt moenih a? Kai taeng lamloh hoep uh laeh. Banvoei te na loh atah bantang la ka cet vetih bantang te na loh atah ka banvoei bitni,” a ti nah.
10 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.)
Tedae Lot loh a mik tea huel vaengah Jordan vannaem boeih te tuisuep tangtae bangla boeih a om pah. Yahovahloh a phae hlankah Sodom neh Gomorrah khaw BOEIPA dum bangla, Zoarlaa caeh vaengkah Egypt kho banglaa hmuh.
11 So Lot chose the whole plain of the Jordan for himself and set out toward the east. And Abram and Lot parted company.
Te dongah Lot loh amah hamte Jordan vannaem boeih tea tuek. Te dongah Lotte khothoeng la puen uh tih a manuca taeng lakah khat neh khat paek uh rhoi.
12 Abram lived in the land of Canaan, but Lot settled in the cities of the plain and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
Abram tah Kanaan kho ahkhoa sak dae Lot tah vannaem kah khopueirhoek ahkhoa sak tih Sodom la puen uh.
13 But the men of Sodom were wicked, sinning greatly against the LORD.
Tedae Sodom hlang rhoek tah thae uh tih BOEIPA taengah hlangtholh koek la om uh.
14 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,
Tedae Lota nong phoeiah BOEIPA loh Abram te, “Na mik huel lamtah na hmuen lamkah tlangpuei neh tuithim khaw, khothoeng neh tuitunli khaw so laeh.
15 for all the land that you see, I will give to you and your offspring forever.
Tekah khohmuen na hmuh boeih te kumhal duela nang taeng neh na tiingan taengah kam paek ni.
16 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.
Te dongah na tiingan te diklai kah laipi bangla ka khueh ni. Diklai laipi te hlang loh tae ham a noeng atah nang kah tiingan te a tae thai van ni.
17 Get up and walk around the land, through its length and breadth, for I will give it to you.”
Khohmuente nang kan paek ham coeng dongah thoo lamtah khohmuen tea yun long khaw, a daang long khaw, hil lah,” a ti nah.
18 So Abram moved his tent and went to live near the Oaks of Mamre at Hebron, where he built an altar to the LORD.
Te dongah Abramte puen uh tiha caeh vaengah Mamre thingnu ahkhoa sak. Tekah thingnu te Hebron ah om tih tekah Hebronah BOEIPA ham hmueihtuka suem.
