Jenèz 13

1 Abram kite peyi Lejip, li moute nan nò, li tounen nan rejyon Negèv la, ansanm ak madanm li avèk tout sa li genyen. Lòt, neve l' la, te avèk li tou.

Then Abram went vp from Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him toward the South.

2 Abram te rich anpil, li te gen anpil mouton, anpil kabrit ak anpil bèf, li te gen anpil lajan ak anpil lò.

And Abram was very rich in cattell, in siluer and in golde.

3 Li vwayaje toujou jouk li kite Negèv la dèyè. Bout pou bout li rive bò Betèl, kote li te moute tant li anvan an, ant lavil Betèl ak lavil Ayi.

And he went on his iourney from ye South toward Beth-el, to the place where his tent had bene at ye beginning, betweene Beth-el and Haai,

4 Li tounen kote li te moute yon lotèl premye fwa a. Li fè sèvis pou Bondye ankò.

Vnto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the Name of the Lord.

5 Lòt menm, neve ki t'ap vwayaje ansanm avèk Abram lan, te gen mouton ak bèf pa l' tou. Li te gen moun tout avèk li.

And Lot also, who went with Abram, had sheepe, and cattell and tentes,

6 Peyi a te vin twò piti pou yo de a rete ansanm, paske yo te gen twòp zannimo pou bay manje.

So that the land coulde not beare them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they coulde not dwell together.

7 Se konsa, te vin gen yon kabouyay ant gadò mouton Abram yo ak gadò mouton Lòt yo. Lè sa a, se moun Kanaran yo ak moun Ferezi yo ki te rete nan peyi a.

Also there was debate betweene ye heardmen of Abrams cattell, and the heardmen of Lots cattell. (and the Canaanites and the Perizzites dwelled at that time in the land.)

8 Abram di Lòt konsa. Monchè, se fanmi nou ye. Pa gen rezon pou nou gen kont yonn ak lòt, ni pou gadò ou yo gen kont ak gadò pa m' yo.

Then saide Abram vnto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, betweene thee and me, neither betweene mine heardmen and thine heardmen: for we be brethren.

9 Men tout peyi a devan nou! Ann separe. Si ou fè bò dwat, m'ap fè bò gòch. Si ou fè bò gòch, m'ap fè bò dwat.

Is not the whole land before thee? depart I pray thee from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will goe to the right: or if thou goe to the right hand, then I will take the left.

10 Lòt voye je l' toupatou, li gade plenn Jouden an byen gade. tout plenn lan, rive jouk Zoa, te wouze nèt ale. Jaden yo te tankou jaden Seyè a, tankou nan peyi Lejip. (Lè sa a, Seyè a pa t' ankò disparèt lavil Sodòm ak Gomò.)

So when Lot lifted vp his eyes, he saw that all the plaine of Iorden was watered euery where: (for before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorah, it was as the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, as thou goest vnto Zoar)

11 Lòt chwazi plenn Jouden an pou li. Li pati nan direksyon solèy leve. Se konsa de mesye yo te separe.

Then Lot chose vnto him all the plaine of Iorden, and tooke his iourney from the East: and they departed the one from the other.

12 Abram rete nan peyi Kanaran. Lòt menm al moute kay li nan mitan lavil yo ki te nan plenn lan. Li moute kay li bò lavil Sodòm.

Abram dwelled in the lande of Canaan, and Lot abode in the cities of the plaine, and pitched his tent euen to Sodom.

13 Moun Sodòm yo te move moun anpil. Yo t'ap fè anpil peche kont Seyè a.

Now the men of Sodom were wicked and exceeding sinners against the Lord.

14 Lè Lòt fin ale, Seyè a di Abram konsa. Kanpe kote ou ye a, voye je ou toupatou, nan tout direksyon: nò, sid, lès, lwès,

Then the Lord saide vnto Abram, (after that Lot was departed from him) Lift vp thine eyes nowe, and looke from the place where thou art, Northward, and Southward, and Eastwarde, and Westward:

15 paske mwen pral ba ou tout tè ou wè a pou ou ak pou pitit pitit ou yo pou tout tan.

For all the land, which thou seest, will I giue vnto thee and to thy seede for euer,

16 Mapral ba ou anpil pitit pitit. Si yon moun ka konte tout grenn pousyè ki sou latè, la rive konte pitit pitit ou yo tou.

And I will make thy seede, as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seede be numbred.

17 Bon. Koulye a, ou mèt pwonmennen mache nan tout peyi a, paske se ou menm mwen pral bay li.

Arise, walke through the land, in ye length thereof, and breadth thereof: for I will giue it vnto thee.

18 Se konsa, Abram ranmase tout zafè l', li vin rete bò pye bwadchenn Manmre yo, toupre Ebwon. Se la li bati yon lotèl pou Seyè a.

Then Abram remoued his tent, and came and dwelled in the plaine of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and builded there an altar vnto ye Lord.
