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;
Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa ʻEpalame mei ʻIsipite, ko ia, mo hono uaifi, mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne maʻu, pea naʻa nau ō mo Lote, ki he feituʻu tonga.
2 and Abram [is] exceedingly wealthy in livestock, in silver, and in gold.
Pea naʻe koloaʻia ʻaupito ʻa ʻEpalame ʻi he fanga manu, mo e siliva, mo e koula.
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—
Pea ʻalu ai pe ia ʻi hono fononga mei he feituʻu tonga ʻo aʻu ki Peteli, ki he potu naʻe tuʻu ai ʻa hono fale fehikitaki he kamataʻanga, ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Peteli mo ʻAi:
4 to the place of the altar which he made there at the first, and there Abram preaches in the Name of YHWH.
Ki he potu ʻoe ʻesifeilaulau, ʻaia naʻa ne tomuʻa fokotuʻu: pea naʻe ui ai ʻa ʻEpalame ki he huafa ʻo Sihova.
5 And also to Lot, who is going with Abram, there has been sheep and oxen and tents;
Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Lote foki, ʻaia naʻe ō mo ʻEpalame, ʻae fanga sipi, mo e fanga manu, mo e ngaahi fale fehikitaki.
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;
Pea naʻe siʻi ʻae fonua kiate kinaua ke na nofo fakataha: he naʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻena meʻa, ko ia naʻe ʻikai ai te na faʻa nofo fakataha.
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.
Pea naʻe ai ha kē ʻi he kau tauhimanu ʻa ʻEpalame mo e kau tauhimanu ʻa Lote: pea naʻe kei nofo ʻae kakai Kēnani mo e kau Pelisi ʻi he fonua, ʻi he kuonga ko ia.
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻEpalame kia Lote, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ʻoua naʻa ai ha kē ʻiate kitaua, pe ʻi heʻeku kau tauhimanu mo hoʻo kau tauhimanu; he ʻoku ta kāinga.
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.”
ʻIkai ʻoku ʻi ho ʻao ʻae fonua kotoa? ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke mavahe koe ʻiate au: kapau te ke ʻi he toʻohema pea te u ʻalu au ki he toʻomataʻu; pea kapau te ke ʻalu ki he toʻomataʻu, pea te u ʻalu au ki he toʻohema.”
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,
Pea naʻe sio hake ʻa Lote, pea vakai ʻe ia ki he fonua fakalelei kotoa pē ʻo Sioatani, kuo lahi ʻae vai ʻi he potu kotoa pē. ʻI he teʻeki ke fakaʻauha ʻe Sihova ʻa Sotoma mo Komola, naʻe hangē ia ko e ngoue ʻa Sihova, ʻo tatau mo e fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻi he halaifonua ki Soa.
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;
Pea naʻe fili ʻe Lote maʻana, ʻae fonua tokalelei kotoa pē ʻo Sioatani; pea fononga ʻa Lote ki he feituʻu hahake: pea naʻe fakamāvae ʻakinaua.
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;
Naʻe nofo ʻa ʻEpalame ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani, pea nofo ʻa Lote ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻoe tokalelei, pea naʻa ne fokotuʻu hono fale fehikitaki ke hanga ki Sotoma.
13 and the men of Sodom [are] evil, and sinners before YHWH exceedingly.
Ka naʻe kovi ʻae kakai ʻo Sotoma, pea angahala ʻaupito ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
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;
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia ʻEpalame, hili ʻae māvae ʻa Lote meiate ia, “Tangaki hake ni ho mata, pea sio mei he potu ʻoku ke ʻi ai ki he tokelau mo e tonga, pea ki he hahake, mo hihifo:
15 for the whole of the land which you are seeing, I give it to you and to your Seed for all time.
He ko e fonua kotoa pē ʻoku ke mamata ai, te u foaki ia kiate koe, pea ki ho hako ʻo lauikuonga.
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;
Pea te u fakatupu ho hako ke hangē ko e efu ʻoe kelekele: pea kapau ʻe faʻa lau ʻe ha tangata ʻae efu ʻoe kelekele, pehē, ʻe lau foki ʻa ho hako.
17 rise, go up and down through the land, to its length, and to its breadth, for to you I give it.”
Tuʻu hake, pea ʻalu atu ʻi he fonua, ʻi hono lōloa mo hono māukupu ʻo ia he te u foaki ia kiate koe.”
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.
Pea naʻe toki hiki ʻe ʻEpalame hono fale fehikitaki, pea haʻu ʻo nofo ʻi he fonua tokalelei ʻo Mamili, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Hepeloni, pea naʻe fokotuʻu ai ʻae ʻesifeilaulau kia Sihova.
