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.
Alò, Abram te monte kite Égypte vè Negev, li menm avèk madanm li, ak tout bagay ki te pou li, e Lot te avèk li.
2 Abram was very rich, having many herds of livestock and a great deal of silver and gold.
Epi Abram te trè rich nan bèt, lajan ak nan lò.
3 He left the Negev and traveled in stages to Bethel, back to the place where he'd camped before, between Bethel and Ai.
Li te fè vwayaj li yo ki sòti Negev pou rive jis Béthel, nan plas kote tant li a te ye nan kòmansman an, antre Béthel avèk Ai,
4 This was where he'd first built an altar. He worshiped the Lord there as he had done previously.
jis rive nan plas lotèl ke li te fè la oparavan an. Epi la Abram te rele non SENYÈ a.
5 Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had many flocks, herds, and tents,
Alò, Lot, ki te ale avèk Abram, osi te gen bann mouton, twoupo, avèk tant.
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.
Epi tè a pa t kapab sipòte yo toude pou rete ansanm, paske byen yo te tèlman gran ke yo pa t kab rete ansanm.
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.
Epi te gen konfli antre bèje bèt Abram, ak bèje bèt Lot yo. Epi te gen Kanaaneyen yo avèk Ferezyen yo ki te rete nan peyi a.
8 So Abram said to Lot, “Please don't let's have arguments between us, or between our herdsmen, because we're family.
Alò, Abram te di a Lot: “Silvouplè, pa kite gen konfli antre ou avèk mwen, ni antre bèje pa m ak bèje pa w, paske se frè nou ye.
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.”
Èske se pa tout tè a ki pou ou? Silvouplè, annou separe. Si se vè agoch, mwen menm, mwen va ale adwat. Oswa si se adwat, mwen menm, mwen va ale agoch.”
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 te leve zye li, e li te wè tout vale Jourdain an ke li te byen wouze. Sa se te avan SENYÈ a te detwi Sodome avèk Gomorrhe. Li te tankou jaden SENYÈ a, tankou peyi Égypte la lè ou ale vè Zoar.
11 So Lot chose the whole Jordan valley and went east, and the two separated from each other.
Konsa, Lot te chwazi pou li menm tout vale Jourdain an, e Lot te vwayaje vè lès. Konsa yo te separe youn ak lòt.
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.
Abram te vin rete nan tè Canaan an, pandan Lot te vin rete nan gran vil yo nan vale a, e li te deplase tant li yo jis rive Sodome.
13 (The people of Sodom were very wicked, committing terrible sins that offended the Lord.)
Alò, mesye Sodome yo te mechan anpil, e yo te fè peche depase kont SENYÈ a.
14 After separating from Lot, the Lord told Abram, “Look around you from where you're standing, to the north, south, east, and west.
SENYÈ a te di a Abram lè Lot fin kite l la: “Koulye a leve ze ou pou gade depi plas la kote ou ye a; vè nò, vè sid, vè lès ak lwès.
15 I'm giving all this land you see to you and your descendants forever.
Paske tout peyi ke ou wè a, Mwen va ba ou li, ak desandan ou yo pou tout tan.
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!
“Mwen va fè desandan ou yo peple tankou pousyè tè, pou si okenn moun pa kapab kontwole pousyè tè a, konsa yo p ap kapab osi kontwole desandan ou yo.
17 Go and walk through the whole land in all directions because I'm giving it to you.”
Leve, mache toupatou nan peyi a nan longè li avèk lajè li; paske Mwen va ba ou li”.
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.
Epi Abram te deplase tant li an, li te vin rete akote bwatchenn Mamré yo ki an Hébron, e la li te bati yon lotèl bay SENYÈ a.
