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.
Ale Abram ʋu le Egipte kple srɔ̃a kpakple Lot kpe ɖe nu siwo katã nɔ wo si la ŋu, eye wozɔ mɔ to Egipte ƒe dzigbeme yi Negeb.
2 And Abram had become extremely wealthy in livestock and silver and gold.
Abram nye kesinɔtɔ gã aɖe: lãwo, klosalo kple sika nɔ esi fũu.
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,
Tso Negeb gbegbe la, etso teƒe yi teƒe va se ɖe esime wòva ɖo Betel, teƒe si le Betel kple Ai dome, afi si wòtu agbadɔ ɖo kpɔ
4 to the site where he had built the altar. And there Abram called on the name of the LORD.
kple afi si wòɖi vɔsamlekpui ɖo kpɔ la. Afi ma Abram yɔ Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ le.
5 Now Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents.
Lot ame si hã dze Abram yome la nye kesinɔtɔ gã aɖe: alẽwo, nyiwo kple subɔlawo bɔ ɖe esi.
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.
Ke anyigba la melolo na Abram kple Lot ƒe nyiwo kple alẽwo o: lãawo sɔ gbɔ fũu wu lãnyiƒe la.
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.
Ale dzre dzɔna ɖe Abram kple Lot ƒe lãkplɔlawo dome enuenu togbɔ be Kanaantɔwo kple Perizitɔwo nɔ anyigba la dzi, eye woate ŋu aho aʋa ɖe Abram kple Lot ŋu gɔ̃ hã hafi.
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.
Le esia ta Abram gblɔ na Lot be, “Ele be dzre si dzɔna enuenu ɖe míaƒe amewo dome la nu natso. Mele be memama nanɔ míaƒe ƒomewo dome o. Ele be ɖekawɔwɔ nanɔ mí ame siwo nye ƒometɔwo la dome boŋ.
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.”
Tia anyigba la ƒe akpa si dze ŋuwò la, eye míaklã mɔ. Ne ètia ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo la, ekema manɔ afi sia si nye ɣetoɖoƒe gome. Alo ne ètia ɣetoɖoƒe lɔƒo la, ekema mayi ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo.”
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.)
Lot lé ŋku ɖe gbadzaƒe si le Yɔdan tɔsisi la gbɔ la ŋu; tsi bɔ ɖe afi ma. Nya sia dzɔ do ŋgɔ na Yehowa ƒe Sodom kple Gomora tsɔtsrɔ̃. Teƒe la ɖi Edenbɔ la kple anyigba nyui si ƒo xlã Zoar le Egipte.
11 So Lot chose the whole plain of the Jordan for himself and set out toward the east. And Abram and Lot parted company.
Ale Lot tia Yɔdan ƒe balime heɖo ta ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo. Eʋu yi afi ma kple eƒe lãwo kple eƒe subɔlawo, ale eya kple Abram klã mɔ.
12 Abram lived in the land of Canaan, but Lot settled in the cities of the plain and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
Abram tsi Kanaanyigba la dzi esime Lot nɔ du gã siwo nɔ gbadzaƒe la dome; etso nɔƒe ɖe teƒe aɖe si te ɖe Sodom ŋu la.
13 But the men of Sodom were wicked, sinning greatly against the LORD.
Ame siwo nɔ Sodom la nye ame vɔ̃ɖiwo, eye wowɔ nu vɔ̃ geɖewo ɖe Yehowa ŋu.
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,
Le Lot ƒe ʋuʋu megbe la, Yehowa gblɔ na Abram be, “Nye kɔ nàkpɔ didiƒe, tso anyiehe yi dziehe, tso ɣedzeƒe yi ɣetoɖoƒe, afi si nàte ŋu akpɔ aƒo xlã ɖokuiwò,
15 for all the land that you see, I will give to you and your offspring forever.
elabena matsɔ afi sia katã ana wò kple wò dzidzimeviwo.
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.
Mana wò dzidzimeviwo nasɔ gbɔ abe ʋuʋudedi ene, ame aɖeke mate ŋu axlẽ wo o!
17 Get up and walk around the land, through its length and breadth, for I will give it to you.”
Ɖi tsa le anyigba yeye si mele nawòm la ƒe afi sia afi, eye nàlé ŋku ɖe nuwo ŋu.”
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.
Ale Abram ho eƒe agbadɔ, eye wòyi ati gã siwo le Mamre la gbɔ, teƒe si te ɖe Hebron ŋu, eye wòɖi vɔsamlekpui na Yehowa ɖe afi ma.
