Genesis 13
1 So Abram went up from Egypt and went into the Negev, he, his wife, and all that he had. Lot also went with them.
Alò, Abram te monte kite Égypte vè Negev, li menm avèk madanm li, ak tout bagay ki te pou li, e Lot te avèk li.
2 Now Abram was very rich in animals, in silver, and in gold.
Epi Abram te trè rich nan bèt, lajan ak nan lò.
3 He continued on his journey from the Negev to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been before, between Bethel and Ai.
Li te fè vwayaj li yo ki sòti Negev pou rive jis Béthel, nan plas kote tant li a te ye nan kòmansman an, antre Béthel avèk Ai,
4 He went to the place where the altar was that he had built previously. Here he called on the name of Yahweh.
jis rive nan plas lotèl ke li te fè la oparavan an. Epi la Abram te rele non SENYÈ a.
5 Now Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had flocks, herds, and tents.
Alò, Lot, ki te ale avèk Abram, osi te gen bann mouton, twoupo, avèk tant.
6 The land was not able to support them both living close together, because their possessions were very many, so that they could not stay together.
Epi tè a pa t kapab sipòte yo toude pou rete ansanm, paske byen yo te tèlman gran ke yo pa t kab rete ansanm.
7 Also, there was a dispute between the herdsmen of Abram's animals and the herdsmen of Lot's animals. The Canaanites and the Perizzites were living in the land at that time.
Epi te gen konfli antre bèje bèt Abram, ak bèje bèt Lot yo. Epi te gen Kanaaneyen yo avèk Ferezyen yo ki te rete nan peyi a.
8 So Abram said to Lot, “Let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen; after all, we are family.
Alò, Abram te di a Lot: “Silvouplè, pa kite gen konfli antre ou avèk mwen, ni antre bèje pa m ak bèje pa w, paske se frè nou ye.
9 Is not the whole land before you? Go ahead and separate yourself from me. If you go to the left, then I will go to the right. Or if you go to the right, then I will go to the left.”
Èske se pa tout tè a ki pou ou? Silvouplè, annou separe. Si se vè agoch, mwen menm, mwen va ale adwat. Oswa si se adwat, mwen menm, mwen va ale agoch.”
10 So Lot looked around, and saw that the whole plain of the Jordan was well watered everywhere all the way to Zoar, like the garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt. This was before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.
Lot te leve zye li, e li te wè tout vale Jourdain an ke li te byen wouze. Sa se te avan SENYÈ a te detwi Sodome avèk Gomorrhe. Li te tankou jaden SENYÈ a, tankou peyi Égypte la lè ou ale vè Zoar.
11 So Lot chose for himself all the plain of the Jordan and traveled east, and the relatives separated from each other.
Konsa, Lot te chwazi pou li menm tout vale Jourdain an, e Lot te vwayaje vè lès. Konsa yo te separe youn ak lòt.
12 Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived among the cities of the plain. He set up his tents as far away as Sodom.
Abram te vin rete nan tè Canaan an, pandan Lot te vin rete nan gran vil yo nan vale a, e li te deplase tant li yo jis rive Sodome.
13 Now the men of Sodom were very wicked sinners against Yahweh.
Alò, mesye Sodome yo te mechan anpil, e yo te fè peche depase kont SENYÈ a.
14 Yahweh said to Abram after Lot had departed from him, “Look from the place where you are standing to the north, south, east, and west.
SENYÈ a te di a Abram lè Lot fin kite l la: “Koulye a leve ze ou pou gade depi plas la kote ou ye a; vè nò, vè sid, vè lès ak lwès.
15 All this land which you see, I will give to you and to your descendants forever.
Paske tout peyi ke ou wè a, Mwen va ba ou li, ak desandan ou yo pou tout tan.
16 I will make your descendants as abundant as the dust of the earth, so that if a man could count the dust of the earth, then your descendants could also be counted.
“Mwen va fè desandan ou yo peple tankou pousyè tè, pou si okenn moun pa kapab kontwole pousyè tè a, konsa yo p ap kapab osi kontwole desandan ou yo.
17 Arise, walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I will give it to you.”
Leve, mache toupatou nan peyi a nan longè li avèk lajè li; paske Mwen va ba ou li”.
18 So Abram picked up his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and there built an altar to Yahweh.
Epi Abram te deplase tant li an, li te vin rete akote bwatchenn Mamré yo ki an Hébron, e la li te bati yon lotèl bay SENYÈ a.
