Genesis 13
1 And Abram goes up from Egypt (he and his wife, and all that he has, and Lot with him) toward the south;
Choncho Abramu pamodzi ndi mkazi wake ndi zonse anali nazo, anachoka ku Igupto kupita ku Negevi. Loti naye anapita nawo.
2 and Abram [is] exceedingly wealthy in livestock, in silver, and in gold.
Abramu anali wolemera kwambiri; anali ndi ziweto ndiponso siliva ndi golide.
3 And he goes on his journeys from the south, even to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the commencement, between Bethel and Hai—
Atachoka ku Negevi, anayenda malo osiyanasiyana mpaka anafika ku Beteli, ku malo a pakati pa Beteli ndi Ai, kuja kumene anamanga tenti poyamba,
4 to the place of the altar which he made there at the first, and there Abram preaches in the Name of YHWH.
ndiponso kumene Abramu anamangira Yehova guwa lansembe kwa nthawi yoyamba ndi kupemphera mʼdzina la Yehova.
5 And also to Lot, who is going with Abram, there has been sheep and oxen and tents;
Loti amene ankayendayenda ndi Abramu nayenso anali ndi ziweto zosiyanasiyana ndi matenti.
6 and the land has not permitted them to dwell together, for their substance has been much, and they have not been able to dwell together;
Motero dziko linayamba kuwachepera kuti onse nʼkukhala pamodzi, popeza katundu wawo anali wochuluka kwambiri moti sakanatha kukhala pamodzi.
7 and there is a strife between those feeding Abram’s livestock and those feeding Lot’s livestock; and the Canaanite and the Perizzite [are] then dwelling in the land.
Mikangano inayambika pakati pa abusa a Abramu ndi abusa a Loti. Nthawi imeneyo nʼkuti Akanaani ndi Aperezi akukhalanso mʼdziko lomwelo.
8 And Abram says to Lot, “Please let there not be strife between me and you, and between my shepherds and your shepherds, for we [are] men—brothers.
Tsono Abramu anati kwa Loti, “Pasakhale mikangano pakati pa iwe ndi ine kapena pakati pa abusa ako ndi anga, popeza ndife abale.
9 Is not all the land before you? Please be parted from me; if to the left, then I to the right; and if to the right, then I to the left.”
Kodi dziko lonseli silili pamaso pako? Tiye tisiyane. Iwe ukalowera kumanzere, ine ndilowera kumanja; ukalowera kumanja, ine ndipita kumanzere.”
10 And Lot lifts up his eyes, and sees the whole circuit of the Jordan that it [is] all a watered country (before YHWH’s destroying Sodom and Gomorrah, as YHWH’s garden, as the land of Egypt), in your coming toward Zoar,
Loti atamwazamwaza maso anaona kuti chigwa chonse cha mtsinje wa Yorodani chinali chothiriridwa bwino ngati munda wa Yehova, kapena ngati dziko la ku Igupto mpaka ku Zowari. (Nthawi iyi nʼkuti Yehova asanawononge Sodomu ndi Gomora).
11 and Lot chooses for himself the whole circuit of the Jordan; and Lot journeys from the east, and they are parted—a man from his companion;
Choncho Loti anadzisankhira yekha chigwa chonse cha Yorodani nanyamuka kulowera cha kummawa. Choncho anthu awiriwa anasiyana.
12 Abram has dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot has dwelt in the cities of the circuit, and moves [his] tent to Sodom;
Abramu anakhala mʼdziko la Kanaani, pamene Loti anakakhala pakati pa mizinda ikuluikulu ya mʼchigwamo. Anamanga tenti yake pafupi ndi Sodomu.
13 and the men of Sodom [are] evil, and sinners before YHWH exceedingly.
Tsono anthu a ku Sodomu anali oyipa ndiponso ankachimwira Yehova kwambiri.
14 And YHWH said to Abram, after Lot’s being parted from him, “Now lift up your eyes and look from the place where you [are], northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward;
Loti atachoka, Yehova anati kwa Abramu, “Kuchokera pamene ulipo tayangʼanayangʼana cha kumpoto, kummwera, kummawa ndi kumadzulo.
15 for the whole of the land which you are seeing, I give it to you and to your Seed for all time.
Dziko lonse ukulionalo ndidzalipereka kwa iwe ndi zidzukulu zako mpaka muyaya.
16 And I have set your seed as dust of the earth, so that, if one is able to number the dust of the earth, even your seed is numbered;
Ndidzakupatsa zidzukulu zochuluka ngati fumbi lapansi moti amene angathe kuwerenga fumbilo ndiye kuti angathenso kuwerenga zidzukulu zako.
17 rise, go up and down through the land, to its length, and to its breadth, for to you I give it.”
Dzuka ndipo uyendere dziko lonseli mulitali ndi mulifupi pakuti ndalipereka kwa iwe.”
18 And Abram moves [his] tent, and comes, and dwells among the oaks of Mamre, which [are] in Hebron, and builds there an altar to YHWH.
Choncho Abramu anasamutsa tenti yake napita kukakhala pafupi ndi mitengo ikuluikulu ija ya thundu ya ku Mamre ku Hebroni, kumene anamangira Yehova guwa lansembe.
