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 wilderness.
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, and silver, and gold.
He nui rawa hoki nga kararehe, te hiriwa me te koura ki a Aperama.
3 And he went [to the place] whence he came, into the wilderness as far as Baethel, as far as the place where his tent was before, between Baethel and Aggai,
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 to the place of the altar, which he built there at first, and Abram there called 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 who went out with Abram had sheep, and oxen, 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 large enough for them to live together, because their possessions were great; and the land was not large enough for them to live 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 Chananites and the Pherezites then inhabited 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 to Lot, Let there not be a strife between me and you, and between my herdmen and your 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 Behold! is not the whole land before you? Separate yourself from me; if you [go] to the left, I will go to the right, and if you go to the right, 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 having lifted up his eyes, observed all the country round about Jordan, that it was all watered, before God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrha, as the garden of the Lord, and as the land of Egypt, until you come to Zogora.
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 And Lot chose for himself all the country round Jordan, and Lot went from the east, and they were separated each from his brother. And Abram lived in the land of Chanaan.
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 And Lot lived in a city of the neighbouring people, and pitched his tent in 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 But the men of Sodom were evil, and exceedingly sinful before God.
Na he kino nga tangata o Horoma, he hunga hara rawa ki te aroaro o Ihowa.
14 And God said to Abram after Lot was separated from him, Look up with your eyes, and behold from the place where you now are northward and southward, and eastward and seaward;
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 you see, I will give it to you and to your 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 your seed like the dust of the earth; if any one is able to number the dust of the earth, then shall your seed 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 and traverse the land, both in the length of it and in the breadth; for to you will I give it, and to your seed for ever.
Whakatika, haereerea te whenua, tona roa, tona whanui; no te mea ka hoatu e ahau ki a koe.
18 And Abram having removed his tent, came and lived by the oak of Mambre, which was in Chebrom, and he there built an altar to 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.
