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 south.
Bw’atyo Ibulaamu n’ayambuka okuva mu Misiri ye ne mukazi we, ne byonna bye yalina, ne Lutti ne bayingira mu Negevu.
2 And he was very rich in possession of gold and silver.
Mu kiseera ekyo Ibulaamu yalina ente nnyingi, ne ffeeza ne zaabu nnyingi nnyo.
3 And he returned by the way that he came, from the south to Bethel, to the place where before he had pitched his tent between Bethel and Hai:
N’atambula okuva e Negevu n’atuuka e Beseri, mu kifo eweema ye we yali olubereberye, wakati wa Beseri ne Ayi,
4 In the place of the altar which he had made before; and there he called upon the name of the Lord.
mu kifo we yasooka okuzimbira Mukama ekyoto, Ibulaamu n’akoowoolera eyo erinnya lya Mukama.
5 But Lot also, who was with Abram, had flocks of sheep, and herds of beasts, and tents.
Ne Lutti eyagenda ne Ibulaamu naye yalina ebisibo by’endiga n’amagana g’ente n’ab’enju ye nga bangi,
6 Neither was the land able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, and they could not dwell together.
ekitundu mwe baali nga tekibamala bombi. Obugagga bwabwe bwali bungi nnyo,
7 Whereupon also there arose a strife between the herdsmen of Abram and of Lot. And at that time the Chanaanite and the Pherezite dwelled in that country.
ate nga n’abasumba baabwe bayombagana. Mu kiseera ekyo Abakanani n’Abaperezi nabo baabanga mu nsi omwo.
8 Abram therefore said to Lot: Let there be no quarrel, I beseech thee, between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen: 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 the whole land is before thee: depart from me I pray thee: if thou wilt go to the left hand, I will take the right: if thou choose the right hand, I will pass 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, lifting up his eyes, saw all the country about the Jordan, which was watered throughout, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrha, as the paradise of the Lord, and like Egypt as one comes to Segor.
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 to himself the country about the Jordan, and he departed from the east: and they were separated one brother from the other.
Bw’atyo Lutti ne yeeronderawo olusenyi lwa Yoludaani n’agenda ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba; bwe batyo ne baawukana.
12 Abram dwelt in the land of Chanaan; and Lot abode in the towns that were about the Jordan, and dwelt 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 And the men of Sodom were very wicked, and sinners before the face of the Lord, beyond measure.
Abasajja aba Sodomu baali babi era nga boonoonyi nnyo eri Mukama.
14 And the Lord said to Abram, after Lot was separated from him: Lift up thy eyes, and look from the place wherein thou now art, to the north and to the south, to the east and to the west.
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 All the land which thou seest, I will give to thee, and to thy seed for ever.
kubanga ensi gy’olaba ndigikuwa ggwe n’ezzadde lyo emirembe gyonna.
16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: if any man be able to number the dust of the earth, he shall be able to number thy seed also.
Ndyaza ezzadde lyo ng’enfuufu ey’oku nsi; omuntu bw’alisobola okubala enfuufu ey’oku nsi, n’ezzadde lyo aliribala.
17 Arise and walk through the land in the length, and in the breadth thereof: for I will give it to thee.
Situka, tambula obuwanvu n’obukiika obw’ensi kubanga ngikuwadde.”
18 So Abram removing his tent came and dwelt by the vale of Mambre, which is in Hebron: and he built there 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.
