Genesis 13
1 Abram went up out of Egypt—he, his wife, all that he had, and Lot with him—into the South.
Te dongah Abram loh a yuu khaw, anih taengah aka om boeih te khaw, amah taengkah Lot khaw Egypt lamkah Negev la a khuen.
2 Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.
Te daengah te Abram loh boiva neh, ngun neh, sui nen khaw lutlut boei.
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,
Te dongah Negev lamkah a longpueng vaengah amah kah dap a om nah hmuen Bethel la cet. A moecuek vaengah anih kah dap te Bethel neh Ai laklo ah om.
4 to the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first. There Abram called on the LORD’s name.
Lamhma ah hmueihtuk hmuen la pahoia khueh coeng dongah Abram loh BOEIPA ming pahoia phoei.
5 Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, herds, and tents.
Te vaengah Lot khaw Abram neh puei uh tih boiva saelhung khaw, dap khaw, rhena puen.
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.
Tedae tun khosak hamte khohmuen amih te noeng voel pawh. Amih rhoi kah khuehtawn khaw muep lo coeng tih tun khosak ham coeng pawh.
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.
Te dongah Abram kah boiva aka dawnrhoek neh Lot kah boiva aka dawnrhoek lakloah khaw, te vaengah khohmuen kah kho aka sa Kanaan rhoek, Perizzi rhoek nen khaw tuituknah vik om.
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.
Te dongah Abram loh Lot te, “Kai laklo neh nang laklo ah, ka boiva aka dawn laklo neh na boiva aka dawn laklo ah khaw tohhaemnah om mai boel saeh. Mamih boeina he tongpa rhoi ni.
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.”
Na hmai ah khohmuena pum la a om pawt moenih a? Kai taeng lamloh hoep uh laeh. Banvoei te na loh atah bantang la ka cet vetih bantang te na loh atah ka banvoei bitni,” a ti nah.
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.
Tedae Lot loh a mik tea huel vaengah Jordan vannaem boeih te tuisuep tangtae bangla boeih a om pah. Yahovahloh a phae hlankah Sodom neh Gomorrah khaw BOEIPA dum bangla, Zoarlaa caeh vaengkah Egypt kho banglaa hmuh.
11 So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot travelled east, and they separated themselves from one another.
Te dongah Lot loh amah hamte Jordan vannaem boeih tea tuek. Te dongah Lotte khothoeng la puen uh tih a manuca taeng lakah khat neh khat paek uh rhoi.
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.
Abram tah Kanaan kho ahkhoa sak dae Lot tah vannaem kah khopueirhoek ahkhoa sak tih Sodom la puen uh.
13 Now the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinners against the LORD.
Tedae Sodom hlang rhoek tah thae uh tih BOEIPA taengah hlangtholh koek la om uh.
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,
Tedae Lota nong phoeiah BOEIPA loh Abram te, “Na mik huel lamtah na hmuen lamkah tlangpuei neh tuithim khaw, khothoeng neh tuitunli khaw so laeh.
15 for I will give all the land which you see to you and to your offspring forever.
Tekah khohmuen na hmuh boeih te kumhal duela nang taeng neh na tiingan taengah kam paek ni.
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.
Te dongah na tiingan te diklai kah laipi bangla ka khueh ni. Diklai laipi te hlang loh tae ham a noeng atah nang kah tiingan te a tae thai van ni.
17 Arise, walk through the land in its length and in its width; for I will give it to you.”
Khohmuente nang kan paek ham coeng dongah thoo lamtah khohmuen tea yun long khaw, a daang long khaw, hil lah,” a ti nah.
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.
Te dongah Abramte puen uh tiha caeh vaengah Mamre thingnu ahkhoa sak. Tekah thingnu te Hebron ah om tih tekah Hebronah BOEIPA ham hmueihtuka suem.
