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.
Boye Abrami alongwaki na Ejipito mpe akendeki na Negevi elongo na mwasi na ye mpe biloko nyonso oyo azalaki na yango; Loti mpe akendeki na ye elongo.
2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
Abrami akomaki na bozwi mingi: bibwele, palata mpe wolo.
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;
Longwa na Negevi, akendeki malembe-malembe kino na Beteli, na esika oyo ezalaki kati ya Beteli mpe Ayi, epai wapi ndako na ye ya kapo ezalaki
4 to the place of the altar that he had made there at the first. And there Abram called on the name of Jehovah.
mpe atongaki etumbelo ya liboso. Ezalaki na esika yango nde Abrami abelelaki Kombo ya Yawe.
5 And Lot also who went with Abram had flocks, and herds, and tents.
Loti, oyo azalaki kotambola elongo na Abrami, azalaki mpe na bameme, bantaba, bangombe mpe basali.
6 And the land could not support them, that they might dwell together, for their property was great; and they could not dwell together.
Boye etuka ekomaki moke mpo na bango mibale, pamba te bomengo na bango ezalaki ebele penza, mpe bakokaki lisusu te kovanda esika moko;
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.
mpe koswana ekotaki kati na babateli bibwele ya Abrami mpe babateli bibwele ya Loti. Nzokande, na tango wana, bato ya Kanana mpe ya Perizi bazalaki kovanda kati na mokili yango.
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.
Abrami alobaki na Loti: « Tika ete koswana ezala te kati na ngai mpe yo to kati na babateli bibwele na yo mpe babateli bibwele na ngai, pamba te tozali bandeko.
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.
Mokili mobimba ezali liboso na yo. Ezali malamu tokabwana: soki yo okeyi na ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi, ngai nakokende na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali; soki okeyi na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali, ngai nakokende na ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi. »
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.
Boye Loti atalaki mpe amonaki etando nyonso ya Yordani oyo ezalaki na mabele kitoko mpe ekenda kino na Tsoari. Liboso ete Yawe abebisa Sodome mpe Gomore, ezalaki lokola elanga ya Yawe, lokola mokili ya Ejipito.
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:
Loti aponaki etando ya Yordani mpe akendeki na ngambo ya este. Ezalaki ndenge wana nde bakabwanaki.
12 Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan; and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain, and pitched tents as far as Sodom.
Abrami avandaki na mokili ya Kanana, mpe Loti avandaki kati na bingumba ya etando mpe atelemisaki bandako na ye ya kapo pene ya Sodome.
13 And the people of Sodom were wicked, and great sinners before Jehovah.
Bato ya Sodome bazalaki penza bato mabe mpe bato ya masumu na miso ya Yawe.
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;
Sima na bokabwani ya Abrami na Loti, Yawe alobaki na Abrami: « Na esika oyo ozali, tombola miso na yo mpe tala na ngambo ya nor, ya sude, ya este mpe ya weste.
15 for all the land that thou seest will I give to thee, and to thy seed for ever.
Mokili nyonso oyo ozali komona, nakopesa yango epai na yo mpe na bakitani na yo mpo na libela.
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.
Nakokomisa bakitani na yo ebele lokola putulu ya mabele; bongo soki moto akoki kotanga putulu, akokoka mpe kotanga bakitani na yo.
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.
Telema, tambola kati na mokili na bangambo nyonso, pamba te nakopesa yango epai na yo. »
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.
Abrami alongolaki bandako na ye ya kapo mpe akendeki kovanda na Ebron, pene ya banzete minene ya Mamire epai wapi atongaki etumbelo mpo na Yawe.
