Mose 1 13
1 Ale Abram ʋu le Egipte kple srɔ̃a kpakple Lot kpe ɖe nu siwo katã nɔ wo si la ŋu, eye wozɔ mɔ to Egipte ƒe dzigbeme yi Negeb.
And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.
2 Abram nye kesinɔtɔ gã aɖe: lãwo, klosalo kple sika nɔ esi fũu.
And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
3 Tso Negeb gbegbe la, etso teƒe yi teƒe va se ɖe esime wòva ɖo Betel, teƒe si le Betel kple Ai dome, afi si wòtu agbadɔ ɖo kpɔ
And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai;
4 kple afi si wòɖi vɔsamlekpui ɖo kpɔ la. Afi ma Abram yɔ Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ le.
To the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.
5 Lot ame si hã dze Abram yome la nye kesinɔtɔ gã aɖe: alẽwo, nyiwo kple subɔlawo bɔ ɖe esi.
And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
6 Ke anyigba la melolo na Abram kple Lot ƒe nyiwo kple alẽwo o: lãawo sɔ gbɔ fũu wu lãnyiƒe la.
And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.
7 Ale dzre dzɔna ɖe Abram kple Lot ƒe lãkplɔlawo dome enuenu togbɔ be Kanaantɔwo kple Perizitɔwo nɔ anyigba la dzi, eye woate ŋu aho aʋa ɖe Abram kple Lot ŋu gɔ̃ hã hafi.
And there was a strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s cattle and the herdsmen of Lot’s cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.
8 Le esia ta Abram gblɔ na Lot be, “Ele be dzre si dzɔna enuenu ɖe míaƒe amewo dome la nu natso. Mele be memama nanɔ míaƒe ƒomewo dome o. Ele be ɖekawɔwɔ nanɔ mí ame siwo nye ƒometɔwo la dome boŋ.
And Abram said to Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray you, between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we be brothers.
9 Tia anyigba la ƒe akpa si dze ŋuwò la, eye míaklã mɔ. Ne ètia ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo la, ekema manɔ afi sia si nye ɣetoɖoƒe gome. Alo ne ètia ɣetoɖoƒe lɔƒo la, ekema mayi ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo.”
Is not the whole land before you? separate yourself, I pray you, from me: if you will take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if you depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.
10 Lot lé ŋku ɖe gbadzaƒe si le Yɔdan tɔsisi la gbɔ la ŋu; tsi bɔ ɖe afi ma. Nya sia dzɔ do ŋgɔ na Yehowa ƒe Sodom kple Gomora tsɔtsrɔ̃. Teƒe la ɖi Edenbɔ la kple anyigba nyui si ƒo xlã Zoar le Egipte.
And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as you come to Zoar.
11 Ale Lot tia Yɔdan ƒe balime heɖo ta ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo. Eʋu yi afi ma kple eƒe lãwo kple eƒe subɔlawo, ale eya kple Abram klã mɔ.
Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.
12 Abram tsi Kanaanyigba la dzi esime Lot nɔ du gã siwo nɔ gbadzaƒe la dome; etso nɔƒe ɖe teƒe aɖe si te ɖe Sodom ŋu la.
Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
13 Ame siwo nɔ Sodom la nye ame vɔ̃ɖiwo, eye wowɔ nu vɔ̃ geɖewo ɖe Yehowa ŋu.
But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.
14 Le Lot ƒe ʋuʋu megbe la, Yehowa gblɔ na Abram be, “Nye kɔ nàkpɔ didiƒe, tso anyiehe yi dziehe, tso ɣedzeƒe yi ɣetoɖoƒe, afi si nàte ŋu akpɔ aƒo xlã ɖokuiwò,
And the LORD said to Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now your eyes, and look from the place where you are northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
15 elabena matsɔ afi sia katã ana wò kple wò dzidzimeviwo.
For all the land which you see, to you will I give it, and to your seed for ever.
16 Mana wò dzidzimeviwo nasɔ gbɔ abe ʋuʋudedi ene, ame aɖeke mate ŋu axlẽ wo o!
And I will make your seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall your seed also be numbered.
17 Ɖi tsa le anyigba yeye si mele nawòm la ƒe afi sia afi, eye nàlé ŋku ɖe nuwo ŋu.”
Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it to you.
18 Ale Abram ho eƒe agbadɔ, eye wòyi ati gã siwo le Mamre la gbɔ, teƒe si te ɖe Hebron ŋu, eye wòɖi vɔsamlekpui na Yehowa ɖe afi ma.
Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelled in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar to the LORD.
