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.
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, in silver, and in 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 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;
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 that he had made there at the first. And there Abram called on the name of Jehovah.
Li tounen kote li te moute yon lotèl premye fwa a. Li fè sèvis pou Bondye ankò.
5 And Lot also who went with Abram had flocks, and herds, 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 could not support them, that they might dwell together, for their property was great; and they could not dwell 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 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.
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, I pray thee let there be no contention between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen, 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 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.
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 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.
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 plain of the Jordan; and Lot went toward the east. And they separated the one from the other:
Lòt chwazi plenn Jouden an pou li. Li pati nan direksyon solèy leve. Se konsa de mesye yo te separe.
12 Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan; and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain, and pitched tents as far as 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 And the people of Sodom were wicked, and great sinners before Jehovah.
Moun Sodòm yo te move moun anpil. Yo t'ap fè anpil peche kont Seyè a.
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;
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 that thou seest will I give 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 as the dust of the earth, so that if any one can number the dust of the earth, thy seed also will 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, walk through the land according to the length of it and according to the breadth of it; for I will give it to thee.
Bon. Koulye a, ou mèt pwonmennen mache nan tout peyi a, paske se ou menm mwen pral bay li.
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.
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.
