< Genesis 13 >

1 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, towards the south.
Hichun Abram'in ajinu Sarai, asopipa Lot toh, Egypt gam chu adalha uvin chunglam Negev mun lang jonin achetou tai.
2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
Abram chun gancha anei lheh jeng tan, hiche keo hilouvin sana le dangka jong ahao lheh jengtan ahi.
3 And he went on his journeys from the south as far as Bethel; as far as the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai;
Hitichun Negev apat Bethel geiyin ahung cheng un, chuleh Bethel le Ai kikah mun a khoilupon in asong un phat masa a ana um bang in,
4 to the place of the altar that he had made there at the first. And there Abram called on the name of Jehovah.
Hiche mun chu ahile Abram in maicham anasem dohna mun ahin hikom achun Pathen in avel in ana hou kit tai.
5 And Lot also who went with Abram had flocks, and herds, and tents.
Lot, Abram toh kilhon jing pa jong chu ahung hao lheh tan kelngoi hon ahin kelcha hon ahin tamtah ahin nei tan chule khoilupon in jong ahin nei doh tan ahi.
6 And the land could not support them, that they might dwell together, for their property was great; and they could not dwell together.
Hinlah gam achen nau chu Abram le Lot dingin ahung neo lheh jeng tai, ajeh chu akelngoi hon ho le kelcha hon ho ahin gancha dang ho aum khom thei tapouve.
7 And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram's cattle and the herdsmen of Lot's cattle. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite were dwelling then in the land.
Hijeh chun Abram le Lot gancha chingho kahlah a kihet khelna ahung um doh tan hiche phatlai chun Canaaan mite le Perizzite mite jong ana cheng khom uve.
8 And Abram said to Lot, I pray thee let there be no contention between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen, for we are brethren.
Achainakeiyin Abram in Lot jah'a hitin aseiye, “Eini kiheto themsel hite nang ma le kei gancha ching ho kahlah'a, ajeh chu eiho hi ucha kinai tah ihi bouve.
9 Is not the whole land before thee? Separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if to the left, then I will take the right; and if to the right, then I will take the left.
Ven na masanga gam-ong lenpitah hi nanga ahiye, nangman kilhen in hoilam hi nadei ham kilhen in ikihop ding ahi. Leiset gam ong veilam nadei le keiman gam ong jetlam kaki lah ding, nangman jetlam aphajoi nati le keiman na dei lou lang chu kaki lhen mai ding ahi tai,” ati.
10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of the Jordan that it was thoroughly watered, before Jehovah had destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah; as the garden of Jehovah, like the land of Egypt, as one goes to Zoar.
Lot chun phat sottah gam chu aven gam pha leithao potna mun Jordan phaicham lang chu Zoar lang toh kinai lang deu, hilang chu ahile aphat seh a twiyin achapnou na mun gam Pathen honlei toh bang twi chap nou jing ahi louleh Egypt te honlei banga hoitah ahi. Hiche phatlai chu Pakaiyin Sodom le Gomorrah asuhmang masang ana hi.
11 And Lot chose for himself all the plain of the Jordan; and Lot went toward the east. And they separated the one from the other:
Hijeh chun Lot in jong Jordan vadung phaicham pumpi chu akilhen in, hiti chun Lot chu niso lam jonin akitol tai; hitobang hin amani aki inkhen lhontan ahi.
12 Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan; and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain, and pitched tents as far as Sodom.
Hichun Abram Canaan gam'a cheng din aum tai. Chua chun Lot'in ama khoilupon buh chu Sodom gam toh kinai phaicham geiyin aga songdoh pehin ahi.
13 And the people of Sodom were wicked, and great sinners before Jehovah.
Hinlah hiche Sodom mite chu apha mothei lheh un, chule agilou thei lheh un Pathen douna in akisa chavai lheh un ahi.
14 And Jehovah said to Abram, after that Lot had separated himself from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art, northward and southward and eastward and westward;
Lot apotdoh jou phat in Pathenin Abram chu ahoulim pi in, “Vetem in namit a namu phah chan gam ninggei achunglam anoilam, solam le lhumlam.
15 for all the land that thou seest will I give to thee, and to thy seed for ever.
Keiman nangma hiche gam jouse namit'a namu phah jouse nangma le na chilhahte jouse tonsot'a nei le gou va kapeh na hitai.
16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth, so that if any one can number the dust of the earth, thy seed also will be numbered.
Keiman na son na chilhahte chu leiset'a leivui jat ka phahsah ding, leiset leivui jat sim jou lou banga nang son le chilhahte jong simjou lou ahi bouve.
17 Arise, walk through the land according to the length of it and according to the breadth of it; for I will give it to thee.
Hijeh chun kipatdoh in lang agamsung hi adung avai asuh atung in ga kholtoh in, Ajeh chu ken nangma kapeh ding ahi.”
18 Then Abram moved [his] tents, and came and dwelt by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron. And he built there an altar to Jehovah.
Hichun Abram'in aumna chu Hebron mun a achon in gangpi thing kena kom Mamre kiti mun chu ahi. Chule Abram in hiche mun achun Pakaiya dingin maicham khat asem in ahi.
