Genesis 13
1 And Abram goeth up from Egypt (he and his wife, and all that he hath, and Lot with him) towards the south;
Choncho Abramu pamodzi ndi mkazi wake ndi zonse anali nazo, anachoka ku Igupto kupita ku Negevi. Loti naye anapita nawo.
2 and Abram [is] exceedingly wealthy in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
Abramu anali wolemera kwambiri; anali ndi ziweto ndiponso siliva ndi golide.
3 And he goeth on his journeyings from the south, even unto Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the commencement, between Bethel and Hai —
Atachoka ku Negevi, anayenda malo osiyanasiyana mpaka anafika ku Beteli, ku malo a pakati pa Beteli ndi Ai, kuja kumene anamanga tenti poyamba,
4 unto the place of the altar which he made there at the first, and there doth Abram preach in the name of Jehovah.
ndiponso kumene Abramu anamangira Yehova guwa lansembe kwa nthawi yoyamba ndi kupemphera mʼdzina la Yehova.
5 And also to Lot, who is going with Abram, there hath been sheep and oxen and tents;
Loti amene ankayendayenda ndi Abramu nayenso anali ndi ziweto zosiyanasiyana ndi matenti.
6 and the land hath not suffered them to dwell together, for their substance hath been much, and they have not been able to dwell together;
Motero dziko linayamba kuwachepera kuti onse nʼkukhala pamodzi, popeza katundu wawo anali wochuluka kwambiri moti sakanatha kukhala pamodzi.
7 and there is a strife between those feeding Abram's cattle and those feeding Lot's cattle; and the Canaanite and the Perizzite [are] then dwelling in the land.
Mikangano inayambika pakati pa abusa a Abramu ndi abusa a Loti. Nthawi imeneyo nʼkuti Akanaani ndi Aperezi akukhalanso mʼdziko lomwelo.
8 And Abram saith unto Lot, 'Let there not, I pray thee, be strife between me and thee, and between my shepherds and thy shepherds, for we [are] men — brethren.
Tsono Abramu anati kwa Loti, “Pasakhale mikangano pakati pa iwe ndi ine kapena pakati pa abusa ako ndi anga, popeza ndife abale.
9 Is not all the land before thee? be parted, I pray thee, from me; if to the left, then I to the right; and if to the right, then I to the left.'
Kodi dziko lonseli silili pamaso pako? Tiye tisiyane. Iwe ukalowera kumanzere, ine ndilowera kumanja; ukalowera kumanja, ine ndipita kumanzere.”
10 And Lot lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the whole circuit of the Jordan that it [is] all a watered country (before Jehovah's destroying Sodom and Gomorrah, as Jehovah's garden, as the land of Egypt, ) in thy coming toward Zoar,
Loti atamwazamwaza maso anaona kuti chigwa chonse cha mtsinje wa Yorodani chinali chothiriridwa bwino ngati munda wa Yehova, kapena ngati dziko la ku Igupto mpaka ku Zowari. (Nthawi iyi nʼkuti Yehova asanawononge Sodomu ndi Gomora).
11 and Lot chooseth for himself the whole circuit of the Jordan; and Lot journeyeth from the east, and they are parted — a man from his companion;
Choncho Loti anadzisankhira yekha chigwa chonse cha Yorodani nanyamuka kulowera cha kummawa. Choncho anthu awiriwa anasiyana.
12 Abram hath dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot hath dwelt in the cities of the circuit, and tenteth unto Sodom;
Abramu anakhala mʼdziko la Kanaani, pamene Loti anakakhala pakati pa mizinda ikuluikulu ya mʼchigwamo. Anamanga tenti yake pafupi ndi Sodomu.
13 and the men of Sodom [are] evil, and sinners before Jehovah exceedingly.
Tsono anthu a ku Sodomu anali oyipa ndiponso ankachimwira Yehova kwambiri.
14 And Jehovah said unto Abram, after Lot's being parted from him, 'Lift up, I pray thee, thine eyes, and look from the place where thou [art], northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward;
Loti atachoka, Yehova anati kwa Abramu, “Kuchokera pamene ulipo tayangʼanayangʼana cha kumpoto, kummwera, kummawa ndi kumadzulo.
15 for the whole of the land which thou are seeing, to thee I give it, and to thy seed — to the age.
Dziko lonse ukulionalo ndidzalipereka kwa iwe ndi zidzukulu zako mpaka muyaya.
16 And I have set thy seed as dust of the earth, so that, if one is able to number the dust of the earth, even thy seed is numbered;
Ndidzakupatsa zidzukulu zochuluka ngati fumbi lapansi moti amene angathe kuwerenga fumbilo ndiye kuti angathenso kuwerenga zidzukulu zako.
17 rise, go up and down through the land, to its length, and to its breadth, for to thee I give it.'
Dzuka ndipo uyendere dziko lonseli mulitali ndi mulifupi pakuti ndalipereka kwa iwe.”
18 And Abram tenteth, and cometh, and dwelleth among the oaks of Mamre, which [are] in Hebron, and buildeth there an altar to Jehovah.
Choncho Abramu anasamutsa tenti yake napita kukakhala pafupi ndi mitengo ikuluikulu ija ya thundu ya ku Mamre ku Hebroni, kumene anamangira Yehova guwa lansembe.
