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;
Abram tu fii Misraim. Ɔno, ne yere, Lot, nʼagyapade ne ne fifo nyinaa baa Negeb.
2 and Abram [is] exceedingly wealthy in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
Saa bere no na Abram anya ne ho a ɔwɔ nyɛmmoa, dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ pii.
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 —
Ofii Negeb hɔ no, odii atutena ara koduu Bet-El, faako a odii kan sii ne ntamadan a ɛwɔ Bet-El ne Ai ntam no.
4 unto the place of the altar which he made there at the first, and there doth Abram preach in the name of Jehovah.
Ɛhɔ na kan no osii nʼafɔremuka. Ɛhɔ nso na ɔkɔɔ so som Awurade.
5 And also to Lot, who is going with Abram, there hath been sheep and oxen and tents;
Na Lot a ɔne Abram nam no nso yɛ ɔdefo a ɔwɔ nguan, anantwi ne asomfo bebree.
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;
Esiane sɛ saa bere no na Abram ne Lot nyinaa anya wɔn ho, na wɔwɔ nguan, anantwi ne asomfo pii nti, na wɔnsen asase no so.
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.
Na akasakasa taa baa Abram mmoahwɛfo ne Lot mmoahwɛfo no ntam. Saa bere no na Kanaanfo ne Perisifo nso tete asase no so.
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.
Enti Abram ka kyerɛɛ Lot se, “Mesrɛ wo, mma akasakasa mma me ne wo anaa me mmoahwɛfo ne wo mmoahwɛfo ntam, efisɛ yɛyɛ anuanom.
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.'
Ɛnyɛ asase no nyinaa na ɛda wʼanim yi? Ma yenni mpaapaemu. Sɛ wokɔ benkum a, mɛkɔ nifa, na sɛ wokɔ nifa nso a, mɛkɔ benkum.”
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,
Lot hwɛɛ ne ho hyiae, huu sɛ asase a ɛda Yordan ho no yɛ asasebere. Na nsu wɔ mu baabiara te sɛ Eden turo mu anaasɛ Misraim asase a ɛda Soar fam hɔ no ara pɛ. Saa bere no, na Awurade nnya nsɛee Sodom ne Gomora ɛ.
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;
Na Lot de nʼani kyerɛɛ apuei fam, faa asase a ɛda Yordan ho no. Eyi ne ɔkwan a Abram ne Lot faa so dii ntetewmu no.
12 Abram hath dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot hath dwelt in the cities of the circuit, and tenteth unto Sodom;
Abram tenaa Kanaan asase so. Na Lot nso dii atutena wɔ nkuropɔn a ɛwowɔ nsase tamaa no so, na okosii ne ntamadan wɔ baabi a ɛbɛn Sodom.
13 and the men of Sodom [are] evil, and sinners before Jehovah exceedingly.
Na nnipa a wɔwɔ Sodom kurow no mu no yɛ amumɔyɛfo a daa wɔyɛ bɔne akɛseakɛse de tia Awurade.
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;
Lot tew ne ho fii Abram ho akyi no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Abram se, “Afei, ma wʼani so hwɛ atifi fam, anafo fam, apuei fam ne atɔe fam.
15 for the whole of the land which thou are seeing, to thee I give it, and to thy seed — to the age.
Mede asasetam a wʼani tua yi nyinaa bɛma wo ne wʼasefo afebɔɔ.
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;
Mɛma wʼasefo adɔɔso sɛ asase so mfutuma a obiara ntumi nkan.
17 rise, go up and down through the land, to its length, and to its breadth, for to thee I give it.'
Sɔre, kɔ na kɔhwehwɛ asase no so nyinaa, efisɛ mede rema wo.”
18 And Abram tenteth, and cometh, and dwelleth among the oaks of Mamre, which [are] in Hebron, and buildeth there an altar to Jehovah.
Enti Abram tutuu ne ntamadan bɛtenaa odum kwae bi a ɛyɛ Mamrɛ de wɔ Hebron no. Ɛhɔ na osii afɔremuka maa Awurade.
