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].
Basa ma, Abram lao hela Masir, de baliꞌ nisiꞌ rae Negeb. Neu no sao na, ma basa hata-heto na. Odꞌi na anan Lot o tungga e boe.
2 Abram was very rich. He owned a lot of livestock, silver and gold.
Abram ia, mamasuꞌin seli. Banda neꞌeboiꞌ, lilo mbilas ma doi fulaꞌ, nae na seli.
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,
Mia Negeb ana lao lali-laliꞌ de baliꞌ nisiꞌ kambo Betel no Ai taladꞌa na. Dalahulu na, ana leo mia naa.
4 and where Abram had made a stone altar and worshiped Yahweh.
Ana o lutu mbatu fatu dadꞌi mei tutunu-hohotuꞌ boe. De beꞌutee neu LAMATUALAIN sia naa.
5 Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had flocks of sheep and goats and herds of cattle, and tents.
Lot, mana tungga no Abram, naꞌena banda neꞌeboiꞌ naeꞌ, ma atahori mana tao ues o naeꞌ boe.
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.
Te mamanaꞌ naa nda loaꞌ, soaꞌ neu Abram no Lot, no basa hata-heto nara fo rasodꞌa sa. De manatadꞌa nara rareresi, huu uru nda dai banda nara sa. (Leleꞌ naa, atahori Kanaꞌan ro atahori Feris o feꞌe leo sia naa boe.)
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.
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.
De Abram nafadꞌe ana na nae, “Lot, e! Hita ia bobꞌonggiꞌ. Afiꞌ losa hita esa nda maloleꞌ no esa sa, huu atahori mana tao ues tara ratofa rakandooꞌ a.
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.”
Dadꞌi malole lenaꞌ ruꞌa nggita saranggaa. Mamanaꞌ ia loaꞌ, de mete ma hii mala rae seriꞌ dii, naa au isiꞌ seriꞌ ona. Mete ma hii mala seriꞌ ona, naa au isiꞌ seriꞌ dii.”
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.]
Boe ma Lot mete rereoꞌ, de nita babafaꞌ loe Yordan oe na naeꞌ losa kambo Soar. Mamanaꞌ naa maꞌasufuꞌ onaꞌ LAMATUALAIN osi na, ma onaꞌ rae Masir. (Leleꞌ naa, LAMATUALAIN nda feꞌe tao nalutu kambo Sodꞌom no Gomora sa. De rae naa feꞌe maloleꞌ.)
11 So Lot chose the land in the plain of the Jordan [River]. He left his uncle, Abram, and moved east.
Dadꞌi Lot hii nala basa rae sia babafaꞌ loe Yorden. De ruꞌa se saranggaa ma, Lot nisiꞌ seriꞌ rulu.
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].
Te Abram leo nahati rae Kanaꞌan. Lot neu leo sia kambo-kamboꞌ deka Sodꞌom sia babafaꞌ Yarden.
13 [You need to know that] people who lived there were extremely wicked.
Atahori Sodꞌom ra, deꞌulaka nara seli ma nda nau rena LAMATUALAIN sa.
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.
Lot no Abram saranggaa ma, LAMATUALAIN olaꞌ no Abram nae, “Abram! Sobꞌa mete rereoꞌ basa mamanaꞌ mia mamanaꞌ ho mumburiꞌ siaꞌ a. Mete malolole deaꞌ-mataꞌ ma dii-ona.
15 I will give to you and your descendants all the land that you see; I will give it to you forever.
Basa rae fo mitaꞌ naa, dei fo Au fee neu nggo, mo tititi-nonosi mara, fo dadꞌi hata-heto ma losa doo na neu.
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].
Dei fo Au fee tititi-nonosi mara ramaheta onaꞌ saraꞌaeꞌ sia tasi suu na, losa atahori nda reken rala se sa.
17 Walk through the land in every direction, because I am going to give it all to you.”
De ia naa, muu laoꞌ rereoꞌ rae a loa-naru na. Te dei fo, Au fee basa naa ra neu nggo!”
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.
Basa ma, Abram se lali, reu leo baliꞌ sia mamanaꞌ deka hau-hau huu ineꞌ sia Mamre, deka kambo Hebron. Ana lutu mbatu mei tutunu-hohotuꞌ, de beꞌutee neu LAMATUALAIN sia naa.
