Genesis 13
1 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the wilderness.
Abram kite peyi Lejip, li moute nan nò, li tounen nan rejyon Negèv la, ansanm ak madanm li avèk tout sa li genyen. Lòt, neve l' la, te avèk li tou.
2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, and silver, and gold.
Abram te rich anpil, li te gen anpil mouton, anpil kabrit ak anpil bèf, li te gen anpil lajan ak anpil lò.
3 And he went [to the place] whence he came, into the wilderness as far as Baethel, as far as the place where his tent was before, between Baethel and Aggai,
Li vwayaje toujou jouk li kite Negèv la dèyè. Bout pou bout li rive bò Betèl, kote li te moute tant li anvan an, ant lavil Betèl ak lavil Ayi.
4 to the place of the altar, which he built there at first, and Abram there called on the name of the Lord.
Li tounen kote li te moute yon lotèl premye fwa a. Li fè sèvis pou Bondye ankò.
5 And Lot who went out with Abram had sheep, and oxen, and tents.
Lòt menm, neve ki t'ap vwayaje ansanm avèk Abram lan, te gen mouton ak bèf pa l' tou. Li te gen moun tout avèk li.
6 And the land was not large enough for them to live together, because their possessions were great; and the land was not large enough for them to live together.
Peyi a te vin twò piti pou yo de a rete ansanm, paske yo te gen twòp zannimo pou bay manje.
7 And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle, and the herdmen of Lot's cattle, and the Chananites and the Pherezites then inhabited the land.
Se konsa, te vin gen yon kabouyay ant gadò mouton Abram yo ak gadò mouton Lòt yo. Lè sa a, se moun Kanaran yo ak moun Ferezi yo ki te rete nan peyi a.
8 And Abram said to Lot, Let there not be a strife between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen, for we are brethren.
Abram di Lòt konsa. Monchè, se fanmi nou ye. Pa gen rezon pou nou gen kont yonn ak lòt, ni pou gadò ou yo gen kont ak gadò pa m' yo.
9 Lo! is not the whole land before thee? Separate thyself from me; if thou [goest] to the left, I will go to the right, and if thou goest to the right, I will go to the left.
Men tout peyi a devan nou! Ann separe. Si ou fè bò dwat, m'ap fè bò gòch. Si ou fè bò gòch, m'ap fè bò dwat.
10 And Lot having lifted up his eyes, observed all the country round about Jordan, that it was all watered, before God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrha, as the garden of the Lord, and as the land of Egypt, until thou come to Zogora.
Lòt voye je l' toupatou, li gade plenn Jouden an byen gade. tout plenn lan, rive jouk Zoa, te wouze nèt ale. Jaden yo te tankou jaden Seyè a, tankou nan peyi Lejip. (Lè sa a, Seyè a pa t' ankò disparèt lavil Sodòm ak Gomò.)
11 And Lot chose for himself all the country round Jordan, and Lot went from the east, and they were separated each from his brother. And Abram dwelt in the land of Chanaan.
Lòt chwazi plenn Jouden an pou li. Li pati nan direksyon solèy leve. Se konsa de mesye yo te separe.
12 And Lot dwelt in a city of the neighbouring people, and pitched his tent in Sodom.
Abram rete nan peyi Kanaran. Lòt menm al moute kay li nan mitan lavil yo ki te nan plenn lan. Li moute kay li bò lavil Sodòm.
13 But the men of Sodom were evil, and exceedingly sinful before God.
Moun Sodòm yo te move moun anpil. Yo t'ap fè anpil peche kont Seyè a.
14 And God said to Abram after Lot was separated from him, Look up with thine eyes, and behold from the place where thou now art northward and southward, and eastward and seaward;
Lè Lòt fin ale, Seyè a di Abram konsa. Kanpe kote ou ye a, voye je ou toupatou, nan tout direksyon: nò, sid, lès, lwès,
15 for all the land which thou seest, I will give it to thee and to thy seed for ever.
paske mwen pral ba ou tout tè ou wè a pou ou ak pou pitit pitit ou yo pou tout tan.
16 And I will make thy seed like the dust of the earth; if any one is able to number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed be numbered.
Mapral ba ou anpil pitit pitit. Si yon moun ka konte tout grenn pousyè ki sou latè, la rive konte pitit pitit ou yo tou.
17 Arise and traverse the land, both in the length of it and in the breadth; for to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
Bon. Koulye a, ou mèt pwonmennen mache nan tout peyi a, paske se ou menm mwen pral bay li.
18 And Abram having removed his tent, came and dwelt by the oak of Mambre, which was in Chebrom, and he there built an altar to the Lord.
Se konsa, Abram ranmase tout zafè l', li vin rete bò pye bwadchenn Manmre yo, toupre Ebwon. Se la li bati yon lotèl pou Seyè a.
