Genesis 13
1 And he went up Abram from Egypt he and wife his and all that [belonged] to him and Lot with him the Negev towards.
Ngakho u-Abhrama wasuka eGibhithe waya eNegebi, kanye lomkakhe lakho konke ayelakho, loLothi ehamba laye.
2 And Abram [was] wealthy very in livestock in silver and in gold.
U-Abhrama wayesenothile kakhulu ngezifuyo langesiliva legolide.
3 And he went to journeyings his from [the] Negev and to Beth-el to the place where it had been there (tent his *Q(K)*) at the beginning between Beth-el and between Ai.
Esuka eNegebi wazula lapha lalapha waze wafika eBhetheli, endaweni eyayiphakathi kweBhetheli le-Ayi lapho ayemise khona ithente lakhe kuqala
4 To [the] place of the altar which he had made there at the former [time] and he called there Abram on [the] name of Yahweh.
njalo lapho ayeqale khona ukwakha i-alithari. Khonapho u-Abhrama wadumisa ibizo likaThixo.
5 And also to Lot who was traveling with Abram it be[longed] sheep and cattle and tents.
ULothi wayehamba lo-Abhrama, laye wayelemihlambi yezimvu lenkomo lamathente.
6 And not it supported them the land to dwell together for it was possession[s] their much and not they were able to dwell together.
Kodwa indawo yayingasoze ibenele bonke nxa babengahlala ndawonye, ngoba impahla yabo yayinengi kakhulu, isala ukuthi bahlale ndawonye.
7 And it was quarreling between [the] herdsmen of [the] livestock of Abram and between [the] herdsmen of [the] livestock of Lot and the Canaanite[s] and the Perizzite[s] then [was] dwelling in the land.
Kwaba lokuxabana phakathi kwabelusi baka-Abhrama labelusi bakaLothi. AmaKhenani lamaPherizi lawo ayehlala kulelolizwe ngalesosikhathi.
8 And he said Abram to Lot may not please there be strife between me and between you and between herdsmen my and between herdsmen your for [are] men brothers we.
U-Abhrama wasesithi kuLothi, “Kasingalwi mina lawe, kumbe abelusi bakho labami ngoba siyizinini zegazi.
9 ¿ Not [is] all the land before you separate please from with me if the left so let me go right and if the right and I will go left.
Umhlaba wonke kawukho phambi kwakho na? Kasehlukane. Ungaya kwesokhohlo mina ngizakuya kwesokunene; ungaya kwesokunene mina ngizakuya kwesokhohlo.”
10 And he lifted up Lot eyes his and he saw all [the] valley of the Jordan that all of it [was] well-watered before - destroyed Yahweh Sodom and Gomorrah like [the] garden of Yahweh like [the] land of Egypt going you Zoar.
ULothi wakhangela wabona ukuthi lonke igceke laseJodani lalilamanzi amanengi, njengesivande sikaThixo, njengelizwe laseGibhithe kusiya eZowari. (Ngalesisikhathi uThixo wayengakabhubhisi iSodoma leGomora.)
11 And he chose for himself Lot all [the] valley of the Jordan and he set out Lot from [the] east and they separated each from with brother his.
Ngakho uLothi wazikhethela lonke igceke laseJodani, wasesuka waya empumalanga. Amadoda la womabili ehlukana:
12 Abram he dwelt in [the] land of Canaan and Lot he dwelt in [the] cities of the valley and he moved tent to Sodom.
U-Abhrama wahlala elizweni laseKhenani, kwathi uLothi wahlala phakathi kwamadolobho asemagcekeni wamisa amathente akhe eduze leSodoma.
13 And [the] people of Sodom [were] wicked and sinful to Yahweh exceedingly.
Abantu baseSodoma babexhwalile kakhulu, besenza izono ezinkulu kuThixo.
14 And Yahweh he said to Abram after separated Lot from with him lift up please eyes your and look from the place where you [are] there north-ward and south-ward and east-ward and west-ward.
UThixo wathi ku-Abhrama ngemva kokuba uLothi esesukile kuye, “Phakamisa amehlo akho asuke lapho okhona, ukhangele enhla leningizimu, empumalanga lentshonalanga.
15 For all the land which you [are] seeing to you I will give it and to offspring your until perpetuity.
Lonke ilizwe olibonayo ngizalinika wena kanye lesizukulwane sakho okulaphakade.
16 And I will make offspring your like [the] dust of the earth which - if he will be able anyone to count [the] dust of the earth also offspring your it will numbered.
Ngizakwenza isizukulwane sakho sibe njengothuli lomhlabathi, okokuthi nxa ekhona ongabala uthuli, lesizukulwane sakho sibe lokubalwa.
17 Arise walk about in the land to length its and to breadth its for to you I will give it.
Hamba udabule ubude lobubanzi belizwe, ngoba ngiyakupha lona.”
18 And he moved tent Abram and he went and he dwelt at [the] great trees of Mamre which [are] at Hebron and he built there an altar to Yahweh.
Ngakho u-Abhrama wathutha amathente akhe wahamba wayakwakha eduze kwezihlahla ezinkulu zikaMamure eHebhroni, lapho akhela khona uThixo i-alithari.
