Genesis 13
1 So Abram and Sarai left Egypt, and they took along all his possessions, and Lot went with them to the Negev [Desert].
Abram el som liki acn Egypt nu epang, nu tafunyen eir in acn Canaan, wi mutan kial ac ma nukewa lal, ac Lot el welul pac som.
2 Abram was very rich. He owned a lot of livestock, silver and gold.
Abram el arulana kasrup ke sheep, nani, cow, ac oayapa silver ac gold.
3 They continued traveling from place to place from the Negev [Desert] toward Bethel [town] to the place between Bethel and Ai where they had previously set up their tents,
Na el som liki acn we ac fahsr tui in kais sie acn ke el fahsr in som nu Bethel. El sun acn se inmasrlon Bethel ac Ai, acn se ma el tuh aktuktuk we
4 and where Abram had made a stone altar and worshiped Yahweh.
ac etoak loang se we meet. Na el alu nu sin LEUM GOD we.
5 Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had flocks of sheep and goats and herds of cattle, and tents.
Oasr pac sheep, nani, ac cow natul Lot, oayapa oasr sou ac mwet kulansap lal sifacna.
6 But they had so many animals that they could not all stay in the same area. There was not enough land to provide water and food for all their animals.
Ke ma inge acn in mongo lun kosro uh sufalla eltal in tukeni orekmakin, mweyen arulana pukanten kosro natultal.
7 Furthermore, the descendants of Canaan and Perizzi were also living in that area, and the land really belonged to them. And the men who took care of Abram’s animals started quarreling with the men who took care of Lot’s animals.
Ouinge oasr amei inmasrlon mwet liyaung kosro natul Abram ac mwet liyaung kosro natul Lot. (In pacl sac, mwet Canaan ac mwet Periz srakna muta fin facl sac.)
8 So Abram said to Lot, “Since we are close relatives, it is not good for us two to quarrel, or for the men who take care of your animals to quarrel with the men who take care of my animals.
Na Abram el fahk nu sel Lot. “Lela nga kom in tia akukuin, oayapa mwet lom ac mwet luk in tia alein, mweyen kut sou se na.
9 There is plenty of land for both of us. So we should separate. You can choose whatever part you want [RHQ]. If you want the area over there, I will stay here. If you want the area here, I will go over there.”
Yolyak facl se oan ye mutasr inge. Ke ma inge, lela kut in fahsrelik. Sulela acn ma kom lungse an, ac nga fah som nu yen lula an.”
10 Lot looked around toward Zoar [town], and saw that there was plenty of water all over the plain near the Jordan [River]. It was like the park/garden in Eden, and like the land in Egypt. [That was before Yahweh destroyed [the cities of] Sodom and Gomorrah which were on that plain.]
Lot el ngetot ngetma ac liye lah Infalfal Jordan nufon, fahla na nwe Zoar, arulana yohk kof we, oana ima lun LEUM GOD ku oana facl Egypt. (Pacl se inge ma meet liki LEUM GOD El kunausla siti Sodom ac Gomorrah.)
11 So Lot chose the land in the plain of the Jordan [River]. He left his uncle, Abram, and moved east.
Ouinge Lot el sulela Infalfal Jordan nufon lal, ac mukuiyak som nu layen kutulap. Pa ingan luman fahsrelik lal Abram ac Lot.
12 Abram stayed in the Canaan area, and Lot started to live near the cities in the plain of the Jordan [River], and he set up his tents near Sodom [city].
Abram el mutana in acn Canaan, ac Lot el som oakwuki inmasrlon siti infalfal uh, ac tulokunak iwen aktuktuk sel fototo na nu Sodom,
13 [You need to know that] people who lived there were extremely wicked.
yen su mwet we uh koluk ac orekma koluk lain LEUM GOD.
14 After Abram and Lot separated, Yahweh said to Abram, “Look around at this whole area where you are. Look north and south, look east and west.
Tukun Lot el som, LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Abram, “Ngetla yen se kom tu we ingan, ac liye akwoye acn nukewa — epang, eir, kutulap ac roto.
15 I will give to you and your descendants all the land that you see; I will give it to you forever.
Acn nukewa ma kom liye ingan, nga ac sot nu sum ac nu sin fwilin tulik nutum, na ac fah ma na lom nwe tok.
16 I will cause your descendants to be as numerous as particles of dust! [It will be easier] to count the particles of dust than it will be to count your descendants [HYP].
Nga ac fah sot tulik na pukanten nutum, su wangin mwet ac fah ku in oakla. Ac fah fisrasr in oaoala puk fin faclu liki tulik nutum!
17 Walk through the land in every direction, because I am going to give it all to you.”
Inge fahsr sasla facl se inge nufon, mweyen nga ac sot lom.”
18 So Abram [and his men] took down their tents and moved to Hebron and started to live by the huge trees [at the town] Mamre. He placed a stone altar there to [make sacrifices to] Yahweh.
Ke ma inge Abram el srakla iwen aktuktuk lal ac oakiya apkuran nu ke sak oal sunal Mamre in acn Hebron, ac el etoak loang se we nu sin LEUM GOD.
