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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Aburamu akĩambata akiuma Misiri agĩthiĩ Negevu, arĩ na mũtumia wake na indo ciothe iria aarĩ nacio, na Loti agĩthiĩ hamwe nake.
2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
Aburamu nĩatongete mũno na ũtonga wa mahiũ, na wa betha, na wa thahabu.
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;
Kuuma kũu Negevu nĩathiire kũndũ na kũndũ o nginya agĩkinya Betheli, o harĩa aambĩte hema yake rĩa mbere gatagatĩ ka Betheli na Ai,
4 Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of Yhwh.
na hau nĩho aakĩte kĩgongona ihinda rĩa mbere. Na Aburamu agĩkaĩra rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova ho.
5 And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
Na rĩrĩ, Loti, ũrĩa matwaranaga na Aburamu, o nake aarĩ na ndũũru cia mbũri, na cia ngʼombe, na ndungata nyingĩ.
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio bũrũri ũcio ndũngĩahotire kũmaigania ũrĩithio marĩ hamwe, nĩ tondũ indo ciao ciarĩ nyingĩ mũno, ũndũ matangĩahotire gũikarania hamwe.
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 dwelled then in the land.
Na nĩ kwagĩire ngũĩ gatagatĩ ka arĩithi a Aburamu na arĩithi a Loti. Akaanani na Aperizi o nao maatũũraga o bũrũri-inĩ ũcio hĩndĩ ĩyo.
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 be brethren.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Aburamu akĩĩra Loti atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũtige kũgĩa na ngũĩ gatagatĩ gaitũ nawe, kana gatagatĩ ka arĩithi aku na arĩithi akwa, nĩ tondũ tũrĩ andũ a nyũmba ĩmwe.
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 depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.
Githĩ bũrũri ũyũ wothe ndũrĩ mbere yaku? Reke tũtigane. Wathiĩ mwena wa ũmotho, na niĩ ngũthiĩ mwena wa ũrĩo; wathiĩ mwena wa ũrĩo, na niĩ ngũthiĩ mwena wa ũmotho.”
10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before Yhwh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of Yhwh, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.
Loti nĩatiirire maitho, akĩbaara, akĩona atĩ kĩaragana gĩothe kĩa Jorodani kĩarĩ na maaĩ maingĩ, gĩgakĩhaana o ta mũgũnda ũrĩa wa Jehova, na o ta bũrũri wa Misiri, ũrĩa ũngʼetheire Zoari. (Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩ mbere ya Jehova kũnũha Sodomu na Gomora.)
11 Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Loti agĩĩthuurĩra kĩaragana kĩa Jorodani gĩothe na akiumagara erekeire irathĩro. Andũ acio eerĩ magĩtigana:
12 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
Aburamu agĩtũũra bũrũri wa Kaanani, nake Loti agĩtũũra matũũra-inĩ ma kĩaragana kĩu, akĩamba hema ciake hakuhĩ na Sodomu.
13 But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before Yhwh exceedingly.
Na rĩrĩ, andũ a Sodomu maarĩ aaganu, na makehagĩria Jehova mũno.
14 And Yhwh 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:
Aburamu na Loti maatigana-rĩ, Jehova akĩĩra Aburamu atĩrĩ, “Ta tiira maitho maku na igũrũ ũrĩ o hau ũrĩ, ũrore mwena wa gathigathini na gũthini, irathĩro na ithũĩro.
15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
Bũrũri ũrĩa wothe ũkuona nĩngũkũhe ũtuĩke waku, na wa rũciaro rwaku nginya tene.
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.
Nĩngaatũma rũciaro rwaku rũingĩhe o ta rũkũngũ rwa thĩ, na kũngĩkorwo kũrĩ mũndũ ũngĩhota gũtara rũkũngũ rwa thĩ-rĩ, o na rũciaro rwaku no rũgĩtarĩke.
17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.
Ũkĩra ũthiĩ, ũtuĩkanie bũrũri ũyũ ũraihu waguo na wariĩ waguo, tondũ nĩngũkũhe guo.”
18 Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto Yhwh.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Aburamu akĩambũra hema ciake, agĩthiĩ gũtũũra hakuhĩ na mĩtĩ ĩrĩa mĩnene ya mĩgandi ya Mamure kũu Hebironi, na agĩakĩra Jehova kĩgongona hau.
