< Genesis 13 >

1 Abram went up out of Egypt: he, his wife, and all his possessions, and Lot with him, into the Negev.
Aa le nionjoñe boake Mitsraime ao t’i Avrame naho i vali’ey naho ze vara’e iaby, mb’ atimoy añe, vaho nindre ama’e t’i Lote.
2 Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.
Fa nimpañarivo an-kare naho volafoty vaho volamena t’i Avrame.
3 He went on his journeys from the Negev even to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,
Ie boak’ amy atimoy añe le nionjoñe sikal’ amy Betele, amy namboare’e kibohotse añivo’ i Betele naho i Aý am-pifotora’ey,
4 to the place where he had first built the altar. And there Abram called on the name of God.
amy nañoreña’e kitrely valoha’ey. Teo ty nikanjia’ i Avrame ty tahina’ Iehovà.
5 Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
Nanam-pirai-troke naho mpirai-lia naho kibohotse ka t’i Lote mpindre fañavelo ama’e.
6 The land was not able to support them while they stayed together, for they had so many possessions that they were unable to remain together.
Fe tsy nahatsapake iareo roe i taney, hitraofa’ iareo, fa loho bey ty vara’ iareo kanao tsy nahafiharo toboke.
7 There was a strife between the herdsmen of Abram's livestock and the herdsmen of Lot's livestock. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite lived in the land at that time.
Nifampibozizy amy zao o mpiara-lia-rai’ i Avrameo naho o mpiara’ i Loteo. Nimo­neñe amy taney henane zay o nte-Kanàneo naho o nte-Perizeo.
8 Abram said to Lot, "Please, let there be no strife between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are relatives.
Aa le hoe t’i Avrame amy Lote, Ee te tsy hifañolañe tika naho o mpiara’oo naho o ahikoo, amy te mpirahalahy tika.
9 Isn't the whole land before you? Please separate yourself from me. If you go to the left hand, then I will go to the right. Or if you go to the right hand, then I will go to the left."
Aa vaho tsy hene miatrek’ azo o taneo? Misitaha amako arè, aa ihe homb’ am-pitàn-kavia mb’eo, le ho mb’an-kavana iraho; ke ihe mb’ am-pitàn-kavana, le izaho mb’ an-kavia.
10 Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well-watered everywhere, like the garden of God, like the land of Egypt, in the direction of Zoar. (This was before God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)
Nampiandra-pihaino t’i Lote, nahatalake te soa fitondrake iaby ty vavatane’ Iordaney eñe manahake ty golobo’ Iehovà, hambañe an-tane Mitsraime amy figodañañe mb’e Tsoare mb’eoy, (taolo’ ty nandrotsaha’ Iehovà i Sedome naho i Amorà).
11 So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated from each other.
Jinobo’ i Lote i vavatane’ Iordaney iabiy naho nañavelo mb’atiña­nañe mb’eo t’i Lote, ie nifampiria.
12 Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.
Nimoneñe an-tane Kanàney t’i Avrame vaho nimoneñe amo rova’ i vavataneio t’i Lote vaho nañoren-kiboho mb’e Sedome añe.
13 Now the people of Sodom were evil, sinning greatly against God.
Ni‑lo tsereke o nte-Sedomeo, vata’e bei-hakeo am’ Iehovà.
14 And God said to Abram after Lot had departed from him, "Now, lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward,
Hoe t’Iehovà amy Avrame, naho fa nisitaha’ i Lote. Ampiandrao fihaino henaneo vaho mitalakesa boak’ amo iambesara’oo mañavaratse naho mañatimo naho maniñana vaho mañandrefa;
15 for all the land which you see I will give to you and to your offspring forever.
amy te hatoloko azo naho amo tarira’o kitro-añ’ afe’eo ze hene tane isa’o.
16 I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if one can count the dust of the earth, then your offspring also could be counted.
Hampiraeko ami’ty lembo’ ty tane toy o tarira’oo; aa naho mahaiake ty debo’ ty tane toy t’indaty le mete hiaheñe ka o tarira’oo.
17 Arise, walk through the land in its length and in its breadth; for I will give it to you."
Miongaha arè le rangao ty andàva’ o taneo naho ty am-pohe’e, fa hene hatoloko azo.
18 Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to God.
Aa le nasi’ i Avrame ty kijà’e le nimb’eo naho nitobe amo hatae jabajaba’ i Mamrè e Khebroneo vaho nañoreñe kitrely am’ Iehovà.
