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.
Therfore Abram stiede fro Egipt, he, and his wijf, and alle thingis that he hadde; and Loth stiede with hym, to the south coost.
2 Abram nye kesinɔtɔ gã aɖe: lãwo, klosalo kple sika nɔ esi fũu.
Forsothe he was ful riche in possessyoun of siluer and of 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 turnede ayen bi the weye in which he cam fro the south in to Bethel, `til to the place, in which bifore he hadde sett tabernacle, bitwixe Bethel and Hay,
4 kple afi si wòɖi vɔsamlekpui ɖo kpɔ la. Afi ma Abram yɔ Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ le.
in the place of the auter which he made bifore, and inwardli clepide there 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.
But also flockis of scheep, and droues of oxun, and tabernaclis weren to Loth, that was with Abram;
6 Ke anyigba la melolo na Abram kple Lot ƒe nyiwo kple alẽwo o: lãawo sɔ gbɔ fũu wu lãnyiƒe la.
and the lond miyte not take hem, that thei schulden dwelle togidre, for the catel of hem was myche, and thei miyten not dwelle in comyn.
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.
Wherfor also strijf was maad bitwixe the keperis of flockis of Abram and of Loth. Forsothe Chananei and Feresei dwelliden in that lond in that tyme.
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.
Therfor Abram seide to Loth, Y biseche, that no strijf be bitwixe me and thee, and bitwixe my scheepherdis and thi scheepherdis; for we ben britheren.
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.”
Lo! al the lond is bifore thee, Y biseche, departe thou fro me; if thou go to the left side, Y schal holde the riyt side; if thou chese the riyt side, Y schal go to the left side.
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 so Loth reiside hise iyen, and seiy aboute al the cuntrei of Jordan, which was al moistid, bifor that the Lord distriede Sodom and Gomorre, as paradis of the Lord, and as Egipt, as men comen in to Segor.
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 Loth chees to him the cuntre aboute Jordan, and departide fro the eest; and thei weren departid ech fro his brother.
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 dwellide in the lond of Chanaan; sotheli Loth dwellide in townes aboute Jordan, and wonide in Sodom.
13 Ame siwo nɔ Sodom la nye ame vɔ̃ɖiwo, eye wowɔ nu vɔ̃ geɖewo ɖe Yehowa ŋu.
Forsothe men of Sodom weren ful wickid, and synneris greetly bifore the Lord.
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 seide to Abram, aftir that Loth was departid fro him, Reise thin iyen forth riyt, and se fro the place in which thou art now, to the north and south, to the eest and west;
15 elabena matsɔ afi sia katã ana wò kple wò dzidzimeviwo.
Y schal yyue al the lond which thou seest to thee and to thi seed, til in to with outen ende.
16 Mana wò dzidzimeviwo nasɔ gbɔ abe ʋuʋudedi ene, ame aɖeke mate ŋu axlẽ wo o!
And Y schal make thi seed as the dust of erthe; if ony man may noumbre the dust of erthe, also he schal mowe noumbre thi seed.
17 Ɖi tsa le anyigba yeye si mele nawòm la ƒe afi sia afi, eye nàlé ŋku ɖe nuwo ŋu.”
Therfor rise thou, and passe thorou the lond in his lengthe and breede, for Y schal yyue it to thee.
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.
Therfor Abram, mouynge his tabernacle, cam and dwellide bisidis the valei of Mambre, which is in Ebron; and he bildide there an auter to the Lord.
