Genesis 13
1 And Abram went up out of Egypt with his wife and all he had, and Lot with him, and they came in to the South.
Abram tu firii Misraim. Ɔno, ne yere, Lot, nʼagyapadeɛ ne ne fiefoɔ nyinaa baa Negeb.
2 Now Abram had great wealth of cattle and silver and gold.
Saa ɛberɛ no na Abram anya ne ho a ɔwɔ nyɛmmoa, dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ pii.
3 And travelling on from the South, he came to Beth-el, to the place where his tent had been before, between Beth-el and Ai;
Ɔfirii Negeb hɔ no, ɔdii atutena ara kɔduruu Bet-El, baabi a ɔdii ɛkan sii ne ntomadan a ɛwɔ Bet-El ne Ai ntam no.
4 To the place where he had made his first altar, and there Abram gave worship to the name of the Lord.
Ɛhɔ na kane no ɔsii nʼafɔrebukyia. Ɛhɔ nso na ɔkɔɔ so somm Awurade.
5 And Lot, who went with him, had flocks and herds and tents;
Na Lot a ɔne Abram nam no nso yɛ ɔdefoɔ a ɔwɔ nnwan, anantwie ne asomfoɔ bebree.
6 So that the land was not wide enough for the two of them: their property was so great that there was not room for them together.
Esiane sɛ saa ɛberɛ no na Abram ne Lot nyinaa anya wɔn ho, na wɔwɔ nnwan, anantwie ne asomfoɔ pii enti, na wɔnsene asase no so.
7 And there was an argument between the keepers of Abram's cattle and the keepers of Lot's cattle: at that time the Canaanites and Perizzites were still living in the land.
Na akasakasa taa baa Abram mmoahwɛfoɔ ne Lot mmoahwɛfoɔ no ntam. Saa ɛberɛ no na Kanaanfoɔ ne Perisifoɔ nso tete asase no so.
8 Then Abram said to Lot, Let there be no argument between me and you, and between my herdmen and your herdmen, for we are brothers.
Enti, Abram ka kyerɛɛ Lot sɛ, “Mesrɛ wo, mma akasakasa mma me ne wo anaa me mmoahwɛfoɔ ne wo mmoahwɛfoɔ ntam, ɛfiri sɛ, yɛyɛ anuanom.
9 Is not all the land before you? then let us go our separate ways: if you go to the left, I will go to the right; or if you take the right, I will go to the left.
Ɛnyɛ asase no nyinaa na ɛda wʼanim yi? Ma yɛnni mpaapaemu. Sɛ wokɔ benkum a, mɛkɔ nifa, na sɛ wokɔ nifa nso a, mɛkɔ benkum.”
10 And Lot, lifting up his eyes and looking an the valley of Jordan, saw that it was well watered everywhere, before the Lord had sent destruction on Sodom and Gomorrah; it was like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, on the way to Zoar.
Lot hwɛɛ ne ho hyiaeɛ, hunuu sɛ asase a ɛda Yordan ho no yɛ asasebereɛ. Na nsuo wɔ mu baabiara te sɛ Eden turom anaasɛ Misraim asase a ɛda Soar fam hɔ no ara pɛ. Saa ɛberɛ no, na Awurade nnya nsɛee Sodom ne Gomora.
11 So Lot took for himself all the valley of Jordan, and went to the east, and they were parted from one another.
Na Lot de nʼani kyerɛɛ apueeɛ fam, faa asase a ɛda Yordan ho no. Yei ne ɛkwan a Abram ne Lot faa so dii ntetemu no.
12 Abram went on living in the land of Canaan, and Lot went to the lowland towns, moving his tent as far as Sodom.
Abram tenaa Kanaan asase so. Ɛnna Lot nso dii atutena wɔ nkuropɔn a ɛwowɔ nsase tamaa no so, na ɔkɔsii ne ntomadan wɔ baabi a ɛbɛn Sodom.
13 Now the men of Sodom were evil, and great sinners before the Lord.
Na nnipa a wɔwɔ Sodom kuro no mu no yɛ amumuyɛfoɔ a daa wɔyɛ bɔne akɛseakɛseɛ de tia Awurade.
14 And the Lord had said to Abram, after Lot was parted from him, From this place where you are take a look to the north and to the south, to the east and to the west:
Lot tee ne ho firii Abram ho akyiri no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Abram sɛ, “Afei, ma wʼani so hwɛ atifi fam, anafoɔ fam, apueeɛ fam ne atɔeɛ fam.
15 For all the land which you see I will give to you and to your seed for ever.
Mede asasetam a wʼani tua yi nyinaa bɛma wo ne wʼasefoɔ afebɔɔ.
16 And I will make your children like the dust of the earth, so that if the dust of the earth may be numbered, then will your children be numbered.
Mɛma wʼasefoɔ adɔɔso sɛ asase so mfuturo a obiara ntumi nkan.
17 Come, go through all the land from one end to the other for I will give it to you.
Sɔre, kɔ na kɔhwehwɛ asase no so nyinaa, ɛfiri sɛ, mede rema wo.”
18 And Abram, moving his tent, came and made his living-place by the holy tree of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and made an altar there to the Lord.
Enti, Abram tutuu ne ntomadan bɛtenaa odum kwaeɛ bi a ɛyɛ Mamrɛ dea wɔ Hebron. Ɛhɔ na ɔsii afɔrebukyia maa Awurade.
