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 wilderness.
2 Abram nye kesinɔtɔ gã aɖe: lãwo, klosalo kple sika nɔ esi fũu.
And Abram was very rich in cattle, and silver, and 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 [to the place] whence he came, into the wilderness as far as Baethel, as far as the place where his tent was before, between Baethel and Aggai,
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 built there at first, and Abram there 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 who went out with Abram had sheep, and oxen, 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 large enough for them to live together, because their possessions were great; and the land was not large enough for them to live 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 herdmen of Abram's cattle, and the herdmen of Lot's cattle, and the Chananites and the Pherezites then inhabited 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 not be a strife between me and you, and between my herdmen and your herdmen, for we are brethren.
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.”
Behold! is not the whole land before you? Separate yourself from me; if you [go] to the left, I will go to the right, and if you go to the right, 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 having lifted up his eyes, observed all the country round about Jordan, that it was all watered, before God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrha, as the garden of the Lord, and as the land of Egypt, until you come to Zogora.
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.
And Lot chose for himself all the country round Jordan, and Lot went from the east, and they were separated each from his brother. And Abram lived in the land of Chanaan.
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.
And Lot lived in a city of the neighbouring people, and pitched his tent in Sodom.
13 Ame siwo nɔ Sodom la nye ame vɔ̃ɖiwo, eye wowɔ nu vɔ̃ geɖewo ɖe Yehowa ŋu.
But the men of Sodom were evil, and exceedingly sinful before God.
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 God said to Abram after Lot was separated from him, Look up with your eyes, and behold from the place where you now are northward and southward, and eastward and seaward;
15 elabena matsɔ afi sia katã ana wò kple wò dzidzimeviwo.
for all the land which you see, I will give it to you 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 like the dust of the earth; if any one is able to number the dust of the earth, then shall your seed be numbered.
17 Ɖi tsa le anyigba yeye si mele nawòm la ƒe afi sia afi, eye nàlé ŋku ɖe nuwo ŋu.”
Arise and traverse the land, both in the length of it and in the breadth; for to you will I give it, and to your seed for ever.
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.
And Abram having removed his tent, came and lived by the oak of Mambre, which was in Chebrom, and he there built an altar to the Lord.
