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.
Bw’atyo Ibulaamu n’ayambuka okuva mu Misiri ye ne mukazi we, ne byonna bye yalina, ne Lutti ne bayingira mu Negevu.
2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, and silver, and gold.
Mu kiseera ekyo Ibulaamu yalina ente nnyingi, ne ffeeza ne zaabu nnyingi nnyo.
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,
N’atambula okuva e Negevu n’atuuka e Beseri, mu kifo eweema ye we yali olubereberye, wakati wa Beseri ne Ayi,
4 to the place of the altar, which he built there at first, and Abram there called on the name of the Lord.
mu kifo we yasooka okuzimbira Mukama ekyoto, Ibulaamu n’akoowoolera eyo erinnya lya Mukama.
5 And Lot who went out with Abram had sheep, and oxen, and tents.
Ne Lutti eyagenda ne Ibulaamu naye yalina ebisibo by’endiga n’amagana g’ente n’ab’enju ye nga bangi,
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.
ekitundu mwe baali nga tekibamala bombi. Obugagga bwabwe bwali bungi nnyo,
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.
ate nga n’abasumba baabwe bayombagana. Mu kiseera ekyo Abakanani n’Abaperezi nabo baabanga mu nsi omwo.
8 And Abram said to Lot, Let there not be a strife between me and you, and between my herdmen and your herdmen, for we are brethren.
Awo Ibulaamu n’agamba Lutti nti, “Tewasaana kubaawo kuyombagana wakati wange naawe, wadde wakati w’abalunzi bo n’abange, kubanga tuli baaluganda.
9 Behold! is not the whole land before you? Separate yourself from me; if you [go] to the left, I will go to the right, and if you go to the right, I will go to the left.
Ensi yonna teri mu maaso go? Leka twawukane. Bwonoolonda oluuyi olwa kkono, nze n’alaga ku luuyi olwa ddyo, bw’onoolaga ku luuyi olwa ddyo nze n’alaga ku luuyi olwa kkono.”
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 you come to Zogora.
Lutti n’ayimusa amaaso ge, n’alaba ekiwonvu kya Yoludaani nga kirungi, nga kirimu amazzi buli wantu nga kifaanana ng’ennimiro ya Mukama; nga kiri ng’ensi ya Misiri ku luuyi olwa Zowaali. Kino kyaliwo nga Mukama tannazikkiriza Sodomu ne Ggomola.
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 lived in the land of Chanaan.
Bw’atyo Lutti ne yeeronderawo olusenyi lwa Yoludaani n’agenda ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba; bwe batyo ne baawukana.
12 And Lot lived in a city of the neighbouring people, and pitched his tent in Sodom.
Ibulaamu n’abeera mu nsi ya Kanani, ye Lutti n’abeera mu bibuga eby’omu lusenyi n’atwala eweema ye n’agisimba okumpi ne Sodomu.
13 But the men of Sodom were evil, and exceedingly sinful before God.
Abasajja aba Sodomu baali babi era nga boonoonyi nnyo eri Mukama.
14 And God said to Abram after Lot was separated from him, Look up with your eyes, and behold from the place where you now are northward and southward, and eastward and seaward;
Mukama n’agamba Ibulaamu ng’amaze okwawukana ne Lutti nti, “Yimusa amaaso go ng’osinziira mu kifo mw’oli, otunule ku bukiikakkono, ne ku bukiikaddyo, n’ebuvanjuba n’ebugwanjuba;
15 for all the land which you see, I will give it to you and to your seed for ever.
kubanga ensi gy’olaba ndigikuwa ggwe n’ezzadde lyo emirembe gyonna.
16 And I will make your seed like the dust of the earth; if any one is able to number the dust of the earth, then shall your seed be numbered.
Ndyaza ezzadde lyo ng’enfuufu ey’oku nsi; omuntu bw’alisobola okubala enfuufu ey’oku nsi, n’ezzadde lyo aliribala.
17 Arise and traverse the land, both in the length of it and in the breadth; for to you will I give it, and to your seed for ever.
Situka, tambula obuwanvu n’obukiika obw’ensi kubanga ngikuwadde.”
18 And Abram having removed his tent, came and lived by the oak of Mambre, which was in Chebrom, and he there built an altar to the Lord.
Awo Ibulaamu n’asimbula eweema ye n’agenda n’abeera okumpi n’emivule gya Mamule, ekiri e Kebbulooni, n’azimbira eyo Mukama ekyoto.
