< Genesis 13 >

1 Abram went up out of Egypt—he, his wife, all that he had, and Lot with him—into the South.
Abramu sì gòkè láti Ejibiti lọ sí ìhà gúúsù, pẹ̀lú aya rẹ̀ àti ohun gbogbo tí ó ní àti Lọti pẹ̀lú.
2 Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.
Abramu sì ti di ọlọ́rọ̀ gidigidi; ní ẹran ọ̀sìn, ó ní fàdákà àti wúrà.
3 He went on his journeys from the South as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,
Láti gúúsù, ó ń lọ láti ibìkan sí ibòmíràn títí ó fi dé ilẹ̀ Beteli, ní ibi tí àgọ́ rẹ̀ ti wà ní ìṣáájú rí, lágbedeméjì Beteli àti Ai.
4 to the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first. There Abram called on the LORD’s name.
Ní ibi pẹpẹ tí ó ti tẹ́ síbẹ̀ ní ìṣáájú, níbẹ̀ ni Abramu sì ń ké pe orúkọ Olúwa.
5 Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, herds, and tents.
Àti Lọti pẹ̀lú, tí ó ń bá Abramu rìn kiri, ní agbo ẹran, ọ̀wọ́ ẹran àti àgọ́.
6 The land was not able to bear them, that they might live together; for their possessions were so great that they couldn’t live together.
Ṣùgbọ́n ilẹ̀ náà kò le gbà wọ́n tí wọ́n bá ń gbé pọ̀, nítorí, ohun ìní wọn pọ̀ tó bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́ẹ́, dé bi wí pé wọn kò le è gbé pọ̀.
7 There was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. The Canaanites and the Perizzites lived in the land at that time.
Èdè-àìyedè sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ láàrín àwọn darandaran Abramu àti ti Lọti. Àwọn ará Kenaani àti àwọn ará Peresi sì ń gbé ní ilẹ̀ náà nígbà náà.
8 Abram said to Lot, “Please, let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen; for we are relatives.
Abramu sì wí fún Lọti pé, “Èmi bẹ̀ ọ́, má ṣe jẹ́ kí èdè-àìyedè kí ó wà láàrín èmi àti ìrẹ, àti láàrín àwọn darandaran wa, nítorí pé ẹbí kan ni àwa ṣe.
9 Isn’t the whole land before you? Please separate yourself from me. If you go to the left hand, then I will go to the right. Or if you go to the right hand, then I will go to the left.”
Gbogbo ilẹ̀ ha kọ́ nìyí níwájú rẹ? Jẹ́ kí a pínyà. Bí ìwọ bá lọ sí apá ọ̀tún, èmi yóò lọ sí apá òsì, bí ó sì ṣe òsì ni ìwọ lọ, èmi yóò lọ sí apá ọ̀tún.”
10 Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well-watered everywhere, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as you go to Zoar.
Lọti sì gbójú sókè, ó sì ri wí pé gbogbo pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ Jordani ni omi rin dáradára bí ọgbà Olúwa, bí ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, ní ọ̀nà Soari. (Èyí ní ìṣáájú kí Olúwa tó pa Sodomu àti Gomorra run.)
11 So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot travelled east, and they separated themselves from one other.
Nítorí náà Lọti yan gbogbo pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ Jordani yìí fún ara rẹ̀, ó sì ń lọ sí ọ̀nà ìlà-oòrùn. Òun àti Abramu sì pínyà.
12 Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.
Abramu ń gbé ni ilẹ̀ Kenaani, Lọti sì jókòó ní ìlú agbègbè àfonífojì náà, ó sì pàgọ́ rẹ̀ títí dé Sodomu.
13 Now the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinners against the LORD.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọkùnrin Sodomu jẹ́ ènìyàn búburú, wọn sì ń dẹ́ṣẹ̀ gidigidi ni iwájú Olúwa.
14 The LORD said to Abram, after Lot was separated from him, “Now, lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward,
Olúwa sì wí fún Abramu lẹ́yìn ìpinyà òun àti Lọti pé, “Gbé ojú rẹ sókè nísinsin yìí, kí o sì wò láti ibi tí o gbé wà a nì lọ sí ìhà àríwá àti sí ìhà gúúsù, sí ìlà-oòrùn àti sí ìwọ̀ rẹ̀.
15 for I will give all the land which you see to you and to your offspring forever.
Gbogbo ilẹ̀ tí ìwọ ń wò o nì ni èmi ó fi fún ọ àti irú-ọmọ rẹ láéláé.
16 I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if a man can count the dust of the earth, then your offspring may also be counted.
Èmi yóò mú kí irú-ọmọ rẹ kí ó pọ̀ bí erùpẹ̀ ilẹ̀, tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ó bá ṣe pé ẹnikẹ́ni bá le è ka erùpẹ̀ ilẹ̀, nígbà náà ni yóò tó lè ka irú-ọmọ rẹ.
17 Arise, walk through the land in its length and in its width; for I will give it to you.”
Dìde, rìn òró àti ìbú ilẹ̀ náà já, nítorí ìwọ ni Èmi yóò fi fún.”
18 Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to the LORD.
Nígbà náà ni Abramu kó àgọ́ rẹ̀, ó sì wá, ó sì jókòó ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ igi ńlá igbó Mamre, tí ó wà ní Hebroni. Níbẹ̀ ni ó gbé tẹ́ pẹpẹ kan sí fún Olúwa.
