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.
Na ka haere mai a Aperama i Ihipa, ki te tonga, raua ko tana wahine, me ana mea katoa, me Rota hoki.
2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
He nui rawa hoki nga kararehe, te hiriwa me te koura ki a Aperama.
3 And he went on his journeys from the South even to Beth-el, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beth-el and Ai;
Na ka turia mai e ia, a ka haere i te tonga a tae noa ki Peteere, ki te wahi i oroko tu ai tona teneti, i waenganui o Peteere, o Hai,
4 unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first; and Abram called there on the name of the LORD.
Ki te wahi i te aata i hanga e ia ki reira i te timatanga: na ka karanga a Aperama i reira ki te ingoa o Ihowa.
5 And Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
Na ko Rota, i haere tahi nei i a Aperama, he hipi ano ana, he kau, he teneti.
6 And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together; for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.
A kihai i nui te whenua mo raua, hei nohoanga tahitanga mo raua: he nui hoki o raua rawa, te ahei raua te moho tahi.
7 And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelt then in the land.
Na ka tautohe ki a ratou nga hepara a Aperama me nga hepara a Rota; na i taua whenua e noho ana te Kanaani me te Perihi i taua wa.
8 And Abram said unto Lot: 'Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we are brethren.
Na ka mea a Aperama ki a Rota, Kaua ra taua e whakatete ki a taua, kaua hoki a taua hepara e whakatete ki a ratou; he teina nei hoki, he tuakana taua.
9 Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me; if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou take the right hand, then I will go to the left.'
Kahore ianei te whenua katoa i tou aroaro? tena, wehe atu koe i ahau: ki te anga koe ki maui, ka ahu ahau ki matau, a ki te haere koe ki matau, na ka ahu ahau ki maui.
10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou goest unto Zoar.
Na ka anga ake nga kanohi o Rota, ka titiro ki te mania katoa o Horano, he makuku katoa, i te mea kahore ano kia whakangaromia noatia a Horoma, a Komora e Ihowa, he pera ano me te kari a Ihowa, me te whenua hoki o Ihipa, i tou haerenga ki Toara.
11 So Lot chose him all the plain of the Jordan; and Lot journeyed east; and they separated themselves the one from the other.
Na ka whiriwhiria e Rota ko te mania katoa o Horano mana; na ka haere a Rota whaka te rawhiti: a ka wehe raua i a raua.
12 Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the Plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.
Ko Aperama i noho kite whenua o Kanaana, ko Rota i noho ki nga pa o te mania, a whakaturia ana e ia tona teneti ki Horoma.
13 Now the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners against the LORD exceedingly.
Na he kino nga tangata o Horoma, he hunga hara rawa ki te aroaro o Ihowa.
14 And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him: 'Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art, northward and southward and eastward and westward;
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Aperama, i muri i te wehenga atu o Rota i a ia, Anga ake ou kanohi, titiro atu hoki i te wahi e tu na koe, ki te raki, ki te tonga, ki te rawhiti, ki te hauauru:
15 for all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
Ko te whenua katoa hoki e kite atu na koe, ka hoatu e ahau ki a koe, ki tou uri hoki ake tonu atu.
16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth; so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.
Ka meinga hoki e ahau ou uri kia rite ki te puehu o te whenua: a ki te ahei i tetahi tangata te tatau i te puehu o te whenua, e taua ano hoki ou uri.
17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for unto thee will I give it.'
Whakatika, haereerea te whenua, tona roa, tona whanui; no te mea ka hoatu e ahau ki a koe.
18 And Abram moved his tent, and came and dwelt by the terebinths of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD.
Na nekehia ana tona teneti e Aperama, a haere ana, noho ana ki nga oki i Mamere, ki era i Heperona, a hanga ana e ia tetahi aata ma Ihowa ki reira.
