< 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;
Ary Abrama dia niakatra niala tany Egypta, dia izy sy ny vadiny mbamin’ ny fananany rehetra, ary Lota koa niaraka taminy, ho any amin’ ny tany atsimo.
2 and Abram [is] exceedingly wealthy in livestock, in silver, and in gold.
Ary Abrama nanana harena be, dia omby aman’ ondry sy volafotsy ary volamena.
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—
Ary mbola nandeha ihany izy ka nifindrafindra hatrany amin’ ny tany atsimo ka hatrany Betela, izay niorenan’ ny lainy tamin’ ny voalohany, teo anelanelan’ i Betela sy Ay,
4 to the place of the altar which he made there at the first, and there Abram preaches in the Name of YHWH.
dia teo amin’ ny tany izay nisy ilay alitara nataony tamin’ ny voalohany; ary dia niantso ny anaran’ i Jehovah teo Abrama.
5 And also to Lot, who is going with Abram, there has been sheep and oxen and tents;
Ary Lota koa, izay niara-nandeha tamin’ i Abrama, dia mba nanana ondry sy omby sy lay.
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;
Ary tsy omby azy roa lahy ny tany hiraisany monina; fa efa be ny fananany, ka tsy nahazo niray monina izy.
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.
Dia niady ny mpiandry ombin’ i Abrama sy ny mpiandry ombin’ i Lota; ary ny Kananita sy ny Perizita no tompon-tany tao Kanana fahizay.
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.
Ary hoy Abrama tamin’ i Lota: Aoka re mba tsy hisy ady amintsika roa lahy, na amin’ ny mpiandry ombiko sy ny mpiandry ombinao, fa mpirahalahy isika.
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.”
Moa tsy eo anoloanao va ny tany rehetra? Masìna ianao, aoka hisaraka amiko ianao; raha hianavaratra ianao, dia hianatsimo aho; fa raha hianatsimo ianao, dia hianavaratra kosa aho.
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,
Ary Lota nanopy ny masony ka nitazana ny tany rehetra teny amoron’ i Jordana hatrany akaikin’ i Zoara, fa azon-drano avokoa izy rehetra (talohan’ ny nandravan’ i Jehovah an’ i Sodoma sy Gomora izany), tahaka ny sahan’ i Jehovah sy tahaka ny tany Egypta.
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;
Dia nofidin’ i Lota ho azy ny tany rehetra amoron’ i Jordana, ka nifindra niantsinanana izy; ka dia nisaraka izy roa lahy.
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;
Ary Abrama nonina tao amin’ ny tany Kanana, fa Lota kosa nonina tao an-tanàna amin’ ny tany amoron’ i Jordana ka nifindrafindra toby hatrany Sodoma.
13 and the men of Sodom [are] evil, and sinners before YHWH exceedingly.
Ary ny mponina tao Sodoma dia tena ratsy fanahy sady mpanota indrindra tamin’ i Jehovah.
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;
Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Abrama taorian’ ny nisarahan’ i Lota taminy ka nanao hoe: Atopazy ny masonao, ka hatramin’ ity tany itoeranao ity dia mitazana mianavaratra sy mianatsimo ary miantsinanana sy miankandrefana;
15 for the whole of the land which you are seeing, I give it to you and to your Seed for all time.
fa ny tany rehetra izay tazanao dia homeko anao sy ny taranakao mandrakizay.
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;
Ary hataoko maro tahaka ny vovo-tany ny taranakao; koa raha misy olona mahisa ny vovo-tany, dia ho azo isaina koa ny taranakao.
17 rise, go up and down through the land, to its length, and to its breadth, for to you I give it.”
Miaingà ianao, mandehana mitety ny tany, dia any amin’ ny lavany sy any amin’ ny sakany; fa homeko anao izy.
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.
Ary Abrama nifindrafindra toby, dia nandeha ka nonina teo an-kazo terebintan’ i Mamre, izay any Hebrona, ary nanorina alitara teo ho an’ i Jehovah izy.
