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;
Boye Abrami alongwaki na Ejipito mpe akendeki na Negevi elongo na mwasi na ye mpe biloko nyonso oyo azalaki na yango; Loti mpe akendeki na ye elongo.
2 and Abram [is] exceedingly wealthy in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
Abrami akomaki na bozwi mingi: bibwele, palata mpe wolo.
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 —
Longwa na Negevi, akendeki malembe-malembe kino na Beteli, na esika oyo ezalaki kati ya Beteli mpe Ayi, epai wapi ndako na ye ya kapo ezalaki
4 unto the place of the altar which he made there at the first, and there doth Abram preach in the name of Jehovah.
mpe atongaki etumbelo ya liboso. Ezalaki na esika yango nde Abrami abelelaki Kombo ya Yawe.
5 And also to Lot, who is going with Abram, there hath been sheep and oxen and tents;
Loti, oyo azalaki kotambola elongo na Abrami, azalaki mpe na bameme, bantaba, bangombe mpe basali.
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;
Boye etuka ekomaki moke mpo na bango mibale, pamba te bomengo na bango ezalaki ebele penza, mpe bakokaki lisusu te kovanda esika moko;
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.
mpe koswana ekotaki kati na babateli bibwele ya Abrami mpe babateli bibwele ya Loti. Nzokande, na tango wana, bato ya Kanana mpe ya Perizi bazalaki kovanda kati na mokili yango.
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.
Abrami alobaki na Loti: « Tika ete koswana ezala te kati na ngai mpe yo to kati na babateli bibwele na yo mpe babateli bibwele na ngai, pamba te tozali bandeko.
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.'
Mokili mobimba ezali liboso na yo. Ezali malamu tokabwana: soki yo okeyi na ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi, ngai nakokende na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali; soki okeyi na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali, ngai nakokende na ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi. »
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,
Boye Loti atalaki mpe amonaki etando nyonso ya Yordani oyo ezalaki na mabele kitoko mpe ekenda kino na Tsoari. Liboso ete Yawe abebisa Sodome mpe Gomore, ezalaki lokola elanga ya Yawe, lokola mokili ya Ejipito.
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;
Loti aponaki etando ya Yordani mpe akendeki na ngambo ya este. Ezalaki ndenge wana nde bakabwanaki.
12 Abram hath dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot hath dwelt in the cities of the circuit, and tenteth unto Sodom;
Abrami avandaki na mokili ya Kanana, mpe Loti avandaki kati na bingumba ya etando mpe atelemisaki bandako na ye ya kapo pene ya Sodome.
13 and the men of Sodom [are] evil, and sinners before Jehovah exceedingly.
Bato ya Sodome bazalaki penza bato mabe mpe bato ya masumu na miso ya Yawe.
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;
Sima na bokabwani ya Abrami na Loti, Yawe alobaki na Abrami: « Na esika oyo ozali, tombola miso na yo mpe tala na ngambo ya nor, ya sude, ya este mpe ya weste.
15 for the whole of the land which thou are seeing, to thee I give it, and to thy seed — to the age.
Mokili nyonso oyo ozali komona, nakopesa yango epai na yo mpe na bakitani na yo mpo na libela.
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;
Nakokomisa bakitani na yo ebele lokola putulu ya mabele; bongo soki moto akoki kotanga putulu, akokoka mpe kotanga bakitani na yo.
17 rise, go up and down through the land, to its length, and to its breadth, for to thee I give it.'
Telema, tambola kati na mokili na bangambo nyonso, pamba te nakopesa yango epai na yo. »
18 And Abram tenteth, and cometh, and dwelleth among the oaks of Mamre, which [are] in Hebron, and buildeth there an altar to Jehovah.
Abrami alongolaki bandako na ye ya kapo mpe akendeki kovanda na Ebron, pene ya banzete minene ya Mamire epai wapi atongaki etumbelo mpo na Yawe.
