< 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.
Saka Abhurama akakwidza achibva kuIjipiti akaenda kuNegevhi, nomukadzi wake uye nezvinhu zvose zvaakanga anazvo, uye Roti akaenda naye.
2 Now Abram was very rich in animals, in silver, and in gold.
Abhurama akanga apfuma kwazvo pamombe nesirivha uye negoridhe.
3 He continued on his journey from the Negev to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been before, between Bethel and Ai.
Kubva kuNegevhi akafamba nzvimbo nenzvimbo kudzamara asvika kuBheteri, kunzvimbo iri pakati peBheteri neAi kwaimbova netende rake kare
4 He went to the place where the altar was that he had built previously. Here he called on the name of Yahweh.
uye kwaakanga atanga kuvaka aritari. Abhurama akadana kuzita raJehovha ikoko.
5 Now Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had flocks, herds, and tents.
Zvino Roti, uyo akanga achifamba naAbhurama, akanga ana makwai nemombewo namatende.
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.
Asi nyika haina kugona kuvaringana kuti vagare pamwe chete, nokuti pfuma yavo yakanga yakawanda kwazvo zvokuti vakanga vasisakwanisi kugara pamwe chete.
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.
Uye gakava rakamuka pakati pavafudzi vaAbhurama navafudzi vaRoti. VaKenani navaPerizi vakanga vachigarawo munyika panguva iyoyo.
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.
Saka Abhurama akati kuna Roti, “Ngaparege kuva negakava pakati pako neni, kana pakati pavafudzi vako nevangu, nokuti tiri hama.
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.”
Ko, nyika yose iyi haisi pamberi pako here? Ngatiparadzane. Kana ukaenda kuruboshwe, ini ndichaenda kurudyi; kana ukaenda kurudyi, ini ndichaenda kuruboshwe.”
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.
Roti akatarira kumusoro akaona bani rose reJorodhani kuti rakanga rakanyatsonyorova, sebindu raJehovha, kufanana nenyika yeIjipiti, kwakanangana neZoari. (Panguva iyi Jehovha akanga achigere kuparadza Sodhomu neGomora.)
11 So Lot chose for himself all the plain of the Jordan and traveled east, and the relatives separated from each other.
Saka Roti akazvisarudzira bani rose reJorodhani uye akasimuka akananga kumabvazuva. Varume vaviri ava vakaparadzana:
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.
Abhurama akagara munyika yeKenani, Roti akagara pakati pamaguta omumapani uye akadzika matende ake pedyo neSodhomu.
13 Now the men of Sodom were very wicked sinners against Yahweh.
Zvino varume veSodhomu vakanga vakaipa uye vaitadzira Jehovha kwazvo.
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.
Jehovha akati kuna Abhurama shure kwokubva kwaRoti, “Simudza meso ako uri pauri ipapo uye utarire kumusoro nezasi, kumabvazuva nokumavirira.
15 All this land which you see, I will give to you and to your descendants forever.
Nyika yose yauri kuona ndichakupa iwe navana vako nokusingaperi.
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.
Ndichaita kuti vana vako vave seguruva renyika, zvokuti kana pano munhu angagona kuverenga guruva, naizvozvo vana vako vachagona kuverengwawo.
17 Arise, walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I will give it to you.”
Enda, famba munyika, muurefu nomuupamhi hwayo, nokuti ndichaipa kwauri.”
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.
Saka Abhurama akabvisa matende ake uye akandogara pedyo nemiti mikuru yeMamure paHebhuroni, uye akavakira Jehovha aritari ipapo.
