Genesis 13
1 So Abram left Egypt and went back into the Negev along with Sarai, Lot, and everyone with them, as well as all their possessions.
Hichun Abram'in ajinu Sarai, asopipa Lot toh, Egypt gam chu adalha uvin chunglam Negev mun lang jonin achetou tai.
2 Abram was very rich, having many herds of livestock and a great deal of silver and gold.
Abram chun gancha anei lheh jeng tan, hiche keo hilouvin sana le dangka jong ahao lheh jengtan ahi.
3 He left the Negev and traveled in stages to Bethel, back to the place where he'd camped before, 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 This was where he'd first built an altar. He worshiped the Lord there as he had done previously.
Hiche mun chu ahile Abram in maicham anasem dohna mun ahin hikom achun Pathen in avel in ana hou kit tai.
5 Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had many flocks, 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 so much so that the available land couldn't support both of them—they had so much livestock they couldn't stay together anymore.
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 Abram's and Lot's herdsmen were arguing, and in addition the Canaanites and Perizzites were also living in the land at that time.
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 So Abram said to Lot, “Please don't let's have arguments between us, or between our herdsmen, because we're family.
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 You see all this land that's available right in front of you? We have to split up. If you choose to go to the left, I'll go to the right. If you choose to go to the right, I'll go to 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 Lot looked over the whole Jordan valley towards Zoar, and saw that it was well-watered, looking like the Garden of Eden, like the land of Egypt. (This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)
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 So Lot chose the whole Jordan valley and went east, and the two separated from each 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 went to live in the land of Canaan, while Lot settled down among the towns in the valley, setting up his tents near 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 (The people of Sodom were very wicked, committing terrible sins that offended the Lord.)
Hinlah hiche Sodom mite chu apha mothei lheh un, chule agilou thei lheh un Pathen douna in akisa chavai lheh un ahi.
14 After separating from Lot, the Lord told Abram, “Look around you from where you're standing, to the north, south, east, and west.
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 I'm giving all this land you see to you and your descendants forever.
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 You will have so many descendants that they'll be like the dust of the earth. If anyone could count dust then they could count the number of your descendants!
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 Go and walk through the whole land in all directions because I'm giving it to you.”
Hijeh chun kipatdoh in lang agamsung hi adung avai asuh atung in ga kholtoh in, Ajeh chu ken nangma kapeh ding ahi.”
18 So Abram went to live at Hebron, setting up his tents among the oaks at Mamre, where he built an altar to the Lord.
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.
