< Genesis 13 >

1 Then Abram went vp from Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him toward the South.
Ebram na nwunye, na ihe niile ha nwere hapụrụ ala Ijipt, gaa ije bịaruo Negev. Lọt sokwa ha.
2 And Abram was very rich in cattell, in siluer and in golde.
Nʼoge a, Ebram aghọọla ọgaranya dị ukwuu, onye nwere akụnụba nke ọtụtụ anụ ụlọ, na ọlaọcha, na ọlaedo.
3 And he went on his iourney from ye South toward Beth-el, to the place where his tent had bene at ye beginning, betweene Beth-el and Haai,
Ha sitere na Negev pụọ ije site nʼotu ebe ruo nʼebe ọzọ tutu ha erute Betel, nʼebe dị nʼetiti Betel na Ai, ebe ọ mara ụlọ ikwu ya na mbụ.
4 Vnto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the Name of the Lord.
Nʼebe nsọ o wukwara ebe ịchụ aja na mbụ, nʼebe ahụ Ebram kpọkuru aha Onyenwe anyị.
5 And Lot also, who went with Abram, had sheepe, and cattell and tentes,
Ugbu a Lọt, onye ya na Ebram so na njem ya, bụkwa onye nwere akụnụba nke igwe ewu na atụrụ, na igwe ehi, na ọtụtụ ụlọ ikwu.
6 So that the land coulde not beare them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they coulde not dwell together.
Ma ala ebe ha nọ ezurughị ha mgbe ha nọkọrọ ọnụ nʼihi na ihe onwunwe ha dị ukwuu ruo na ha enweghị ike ịnọkọ ọnụ.
7 Also there was debate betweene ye heardmen of Abrams cattell, and the heardmen of Lots cattell. (and the Canaanites and the Perizzites dwelled at that time in the land.)
Nke a mere esemokwu ji dapụta nʼetiti ndị ọzụzụ anụ ụlọ Ebram na ndị ọzụzụ anụ ụlọ Lọt. Ndị Kenan na ndị Periz bikwa nʼala ahụ nʼoge ahụ.
8 Then saide Abram vnto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, betweene thee and me, neither betweene mine heardmen and thine heardmen: for we be brethren.
Ya mere Ebram gwara Lọt sị, “Biko, ka esemokwu ghara ịdị nʼetiti mụ na gị, maọbụ nʼetiti ndị ọzụzụ anụ ụlọ m na ndị ọzụzụ anụ ụlọ gị, nʼihi na anyị bụ ụmụnne.
9 Is not the whole land before thee? depart I pray thee from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will goe to the right: or if thou goe to the right hand, then I will take the left.
Lee, ọ bụ na ala a niile adịghị nʼihu gị? Ka anyị kewaa. Ọ bụrụ na ị gaa nʼakụkụ aka ekpe, aga m aga nʼakụkụ aka nri. Ma ọ bụrụ na i gaa nʼakụkụ aka nri gị, aga m aga nʼakụkụ aka ekpe.”
10 So when Lot lifted vp his eyes, he saw that all the plaine of Iorden was watered euery where: (for before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorah, it was as the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, as thou goest vnto Zoar)
Lọt lelitere anya hụ na mbara ala Jọdan bụ ala mmiri na-ezokwasị nke ọma, ala dịka ubi a gbara ogige Onyenwe anyị, dịka ala ndị Ijipt nke dị na nso nso Zoa. (Ihe a mere tupu Onyenwe anyị ebibie obodo Sọdọm na Gọmọra.)
11 Then Lot chose vnto him all the plaine of Iorden, and tooke his iourney from the East: and they departed the one from the other.
Ya mere, Lọt họọrọ nye onwe ya mbara ala Jọdan niile, chee ihu ịga nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ. Ya na Ebram kewara.
12 Abram dwelled in the lande of Canaan, and Lot abode in the cities of the plaine, and pitched his tent euen to Sodom.
Ebram nọdụrụ nʼala Kenan, ma Lọt gara biri nʼetiti obodo ndị ahụ dị na mbara ala. Ọ mara ụlọ ikwu ya nso nso obodo Sọdọm.
13 Now the men of Sodom were wicked and exceeding sinners against the Lord.
Ma ndị Sọdọm bụ ndị obi tara mmiri, ndị na-emehie nke ukwuu megide Onyenwe anyị.
14 Then the Lord saide vnto Abram, (after that Lot was departed from him) Lift vp thine eyes nowe, and looke from the place where thou art, Northward, and Southward, and Eastwarde, and Westward:
Mgbe Lọt siri nʼebe ahụ pụọ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Ebram okwu sị ya, “Site nʼebe ahụ ị nọ lelie anya gị, lee anya nʼugwu na ndịda, nʼọwụwa anyanwụ na ọdịda anyanwụ.
15 For all the land, which thou seest, will I giue vnto thee and to thy seede for euer,
Ala ahụ niile ị hụrụ ka m ga-enye gị na mkpụrụ gị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
16 And I will make thy seede, as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seede be numbred.
Aga m eme ka mkpụrụ gị baa ụba dịka aja dị nʼala. Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ enwe ike ịgụta ọnụọgụgụ aja dị nʼala, ha ga-enwe ike gụta ọnụọgụgụ mkpụrụ gị.
17 Arise, walke through the land, in ye length thereof, and breadth thereof: for I will giue it vnto thee.
Bilie jegharịa nʼala ahụ niile nʼakụkụ ya ọbụla, nʼihi na ana m enye gị ha niile.”
18 Then Abram remoued his tent, and came and dwelled in the plaine of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and builded there an altar vnto ye Lord.
Ya mere, Ebram bugharịrị ụlọ ikwu ya, gaa biri nʼakụkụ osisi ukwu Mamre nke dị na Hebrọn. O wuru ebe ịchụ aja nye Onyenwe anyị nʼebe ahụ.
