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.
And Abram goeth up from Egypt (he and his wife, and all that he hath, and Lot with him) towards 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 [is] exceedingly wealthy in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
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 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 —
4 Li tounen kote li te moute yon lotèl premye fwa a. Li fè sèvis pou Bondye ankò.
unto the place of the altar which he made there at the first, and there doth Abram preach in the name of Jehovah.
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 also to Lot, who is going with Abram, there hath been sheep and oxen and tents;
6 Peyi a te vin twò piti pou yo de a rete ansanm, paske yo te gen twòp zannimo pou bay manje.
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;
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.'
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.)
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,
11 Lòt chwazi plenn Jouden an pou li. Li pati nan direksyon solèy leve. Se konsa de mesye yo te separe.
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;
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 hath dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot hath dwelt in the cities of the circuit, and tenteth unto Sodom;
13 Moun Sodòm yo te move moun anpil. Yo t'ap fè anpil peche kont Seyè a.
and the men of Sodom [are] evil, and sinners before Jehovah exceedingly.
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,
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;
15 paske mwen pral ba ou tout tè ou wè a pou ou ak pou pitit pitit ou yo pou tout tan.
for the whole of the land which thou are seeing, to thee I give it, and to thy seed — to the age.
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 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;
17 Bon. Koulye a, ou mèt pwonmennen mache nan tout peyi a, paske se ou menm mwen pral bay li.
rise, go up and down through the land, to its length, and to its breadth, for to thee I give it.'
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.
And Abram tenteth, and cometh, and dwelleth among the oaks of Mamre, which [are] in Hebron, and buildeth there an altar to Jehovah.
