Genesis 13
1 Therefore, Abram ascended from Egypt, he and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, toward the southern region.
Alò, Abram te monte kite Égypte vè Negev, li menm avèk madanm li, ak tout bagay ki te pou li, e Lot te avèk li.
2 But he was very wealthy by the possession of gold and silver.
Epi Abram te trè rich nan bèt, lajan ak nan lò.
3 And he returned by the way that he came, from the meridian into Bethel, all the way to the place where before he had pitched his tent, between Bethel and Hai.
Li te fè vwayaj li yo ki sòti Negev pou rive jis Béthel, nan plas kote tant li a te ye nan kòmansman an, antre Béthel avèk Ai,
4 There, at the place of the altar he had made before, he again called upon the name of the Lord.
jis rive nan plas lotèl ke li te fè la oparavan an. Epi la Abram te rele non SENYÈ a.
5 But Lot also, who was with Abram, had flocks of sheep, and cattle, and tents.
Alò, Lot, ki te ale avèk Abram, osi te gen bann mouton, twoupo, avèk tant.
6 Neither was the land able to contain them, so that they might dwell together. Indeed, their substance was so great that they could not live in common.
Epi tè a pa t kapab sipòte yo toude pou rete ansanm, paske byen yo te tèlman gran ke yo pa t kab rete ansanm.
7 And then there also arose a conflict between the shepherds of Abram and of Lot. Now at that time the Canaanite and the Perizzite lived in that land.
Epi te gen konfli antre bèje bèt Abram, ak bèje bèt Lot yo. Epi te gen Kanaaneyen yo avèk Ferezyen yo ki te rete nan peyi a.
8 Therefore, Abram said to Lot: “I ask you, let there be no quarrel between me and you, and between my shepherds and your shepherds. For we are brothers.
Alò, Abram te di a Lot: “Silvouplè, pa kite gen konfli antre ou avèk mwen, ni antre bèje pa m ak bèje pa w, paske se frè nou ye.
9 Behold, the entire land is before your eyes. Withdraw from me, I beg you. If you will go to the left, I will take the right. If you choose the right, I will pass to the left.”
Èske se pa tout tè a ki pou ou? Silvouplè, annou separe. Si se vè agoch, mwen menm, mwen va ale adwat. Oswa si se adwat, mwen menm, mwen va ale agoch.”
10 And so Lot, lifting up his eyes, saw all the region around the Jordan, which was thoroughly irrigated, before the Lord overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. It was like the Paradise of the Lord, and it was like Egypt, approaching toward Zoar.
Lot te leve zye li, e li te wè tout vale Jourdain an ke li te byen wouze. Sa se te avan SENYÈ a te detwi Sodome avèk Gomorrhe. Li te tankou jaden SENYÈ a, tankou peyi Égypte la lè ou ale vè Zoar.
11 And Lot chose for himself the region around the Jordan, and he withdrew by way of the east. And they were divided, one brother from the other.
Konsa, Lot te chwazi pou li menm tout vale Jourdain an, e Lot te vwayaje vè lès. Konsa yo te separe youn ak lòt.
12 Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan. In truth, Lot stayed in the towns that were around the Jordan, and he lived in Sodom.
Abram te vin rete nan tè Canaan an, pandan Lot te vin rete nan gran vil yo nan vale a, e li te deplase tant li yo jis rive Sodome.
13 But the men of Sodom were very wicked, and they were sinners before the Lord beyond measure.
Alò, mesye Sodome yo te mechan anpil, e yo te fè peche depase kont SENYÈ a.
14 And the Lord said to Abram, after Lot was divided from him: “Lift up your eyes, and gaze out from the place where you are now, to the north and to the meridian, to the east and to the west.
SENYÈ a te di a Abram lè Lot fin kite l la: “Koulye a leve ze ou pou gade depi plas la kote ou ye a; vè nò, vè sid, vè lès ak lwès.
15 All the land that you see, I will give to you, and to your offspring even forever.
Paske tout peyi ke ou wè a, Mwen va ba ou li, ak desandan ou yo pou tout tan.
16 And I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth. If any man is able to number the dust of the earth, he will be able to number your offspring as well.
“Mwen va fè desandan ou yo peple tankou pousyè tè, pou si okenn moun pa kapab kontwole pousyè tè a, konsa yo p ap kapab osi kontwole desandan ou yo.
17 Arise and walk through the land in its length, and breadth. For I will give it to you.”
Leve, mache toupatou nan peyi a nan longè li avèk lajè li; paske Mwen va ba ou li”.
18 Therefore, moving his tent, Abram went and dwelt by the steep valley of Mamre, which is in Hebron. And he built an altar there to the Lord.
Epi Abram te deplase tant li an, li te vin rete akote bwatchenn Mamré yo ki an Hébron, e la li te bati yon lotèl bay SENYÈ a.
