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;
Abram tu firii Misraim. Ɔno, ne yere, Lot, nʼagyapadeɛ ne ne fiefoɔ nyinaa baa Negeb.
2 and Abram [is] exceedingly wealthy in livestock, in silver, and in gold.
Saa ɛberɛ no na Abram anya ne ho a ɔwɔ nyɛmmoa, dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ pii.
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—
Ɔfirii Negeb hɔ no, ɔdii atutena ara kɔduruu Bet-El, baabi a ɔdii ɛkan sii ne ntomadan a ɛwɔ Bet-El ne Ai ntam no.
4 to the place of the altar which he made there at the first, and there Abram preaches in the Name of YHWH.
Ɛhɔ na kane no ɔsii nʼafɔrebukyia. Ɛhɔ nso na ɔkɔɔ so somm Awurade.
5 And also to Lot, who is going with Abram, there has been sheep and oxen and tents;
Na Lot a ɔne Abram nam no nso yɛ ɔdefoɔ a ɔwɔ nnwan, anantwie ne asomfoɔ bebree.
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;
Esiane sɛ saa ɛberɛ no na Abram ne Lot nyinaa anya wɔn ho, na wɔwɔ nnwan, anantwie ne asomfoɔ pii enti, na wɔnsene asase no so.
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.
Na akasakasa taa baa Abram mmoahwɛfoɔ ne Lot mmoahwɛfoɔ no ntam. Saa ɛberɛ no na Kanaanfoɔ ne Perisifoɔ nso tete asase no so.
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.
Enti, Abram ka kyerɛɛ Lot sɛ, “Mesrɛ wo, mma akasakasa mma me ne wo anaa me mmoahwɛfoɔ ne wo mmoahwɛfoɔ ntam, ɛfiri sɛ, yɛyɛ anuanom.
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.”
Ɛnyɛ asase no nyinaa na ɛda wʼanim yi? Ma yɛnni mpaapaemu. Sɛ wokɔ benkum a, mɛkɔ nifa, na sɛ wokɔ nifa nso a, mɛkɔ benkum.”
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,
Lot hwɛɛ ne ho hyiaeɛ, hunuu sɛ asase a ɛda Yordan ho no yɛ asasebereɛ. Na nsuo wɔ mu baabiara te sɛ Eden turom anaasɛ Misraim asase a ɛda Soar fam hɔ no ara pɛ. Saa ɛberɛ no, na Awurade nnya nsɛee Sodom ne 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;
Na Lot de nʼani kyerɛɛ apueeɛ fam, faa asase a ɛda Yordan ho no. Yei ne ɛkwan a Abram ne Lot faa so dii ntetemu no.
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;
Abram tenaa Kanaan asase so. Ɛnna Lot nso dii atutena wɔ nkuropɔn a ɛwowɔ nsase tamaa no so, na ɔkɔsii ne ntomadan wɔ baabi a ɛbɛn Sodom.
13 and the men of Sodom [are] evil, and sinners before YHWH exceedingly.
Na nnipa a wɔwɔ Sodom kuro no mu no yɛ amumuyɛfoɔ a daa wɔyɛ bɔne akɛseakɛseɛ de tia Awurade.
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;
Lot tee ne ho firii Abram ho akyiri no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Abram sɛ, “Afei, ma wʼani so hwɛ atifi fam, anafoɔ fam, apueeɛ fam ne atɔeɛ fam.
15 for the whole of the land which you are seeing, I give it to you and to your Seed for all time.
Mede asasetam a wʼani tua yi nyinaa bɛma wo ne wʼasefoɔ afebɔɔ.
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;
Mɛma wʼasefoɔ adɔɔso sɛ asase so mfuturo a obiara ntumi nkan.
17 rise, go up and down through the land, to its length, and to its breadth, for to you I give it.”
Sɔre, kɔ na kɔhwehwɛ asase no so nyinaa, ɛfiri sɛ, mede rema wo.”
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.
Enti, Abram tutuu ne ntomadan bɛtenaa odum kwaeɛ bi a ɛyɛ Mamrɛ dea wɔ Hebron. Ɛhɔ na ɔsii afɔrebukyia maa Awurade.
