< 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.
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 Now Abram was very rich in animals, in silver, and in gold.
Abram ia, mamasuꞌin seli. Banda neꞌeboiꞌ, lilo mbilas ma doi fulaꞌ, nae na seli.
3 He continued on his journey from the Negev to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been before, between Bethel and Ai.
Mia Negeb ana lao lali-laliꞌ de baliꞌ nisiꞌ kambo Betel no Ai taladꞌa na. Dalahulu na, ana leo mia naa.
4 He went to the place where the altar was that he had built previously. Here he called on the name of Yahweh.
Ana o lutu mbatu fatu dadꞌi mei tutunu-hohotuꞌ boe. De beꞌutee neu LAMATUALAIN sia naa.
5 Now Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had flocks, herds, and tents.
Lot, mana tungga no Abram, naꞌena banda neꞌeboiꞌ naeꞌ, ma atahori mana tao ues o naeꞌ boe.
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.
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 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.
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.
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 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.”
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 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.
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 for himself all the plain of the Jordan and traveled east, and the relatives separated from each other.
Dadꞌi Lot hii nala basa rae sia babafaꞌ loe Yorden. De ruꞌa se saranggaa ma, Lot nisiꞌ seriꞌ rulu.
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.
Te Abram leo nahati rae Kanaꞌan. Lot neu leo sia kambo-kamboꞌ deka Sodꞌom sia babafaꞌ Yarden.
13 Now the men of Sodom were very wicked sinners against Yahweh.
Atahori Sodꞌom ra, deꞌulaka nara seli ma nda nau rena LAMATUALAIN sa.
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.
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 All this land which you see, I will give to you and to your descendants 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 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.
Dei fo Au fee tititi-nonosi mara ramaheta onaꞌ saraꞌaeꞌ sia tasi suu na, losa atahori nda reken rala se sa.
17 Arise, walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I will give it 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 picked up his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and there built an altar 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.
