And Lot also who went with Abram had flocks, and herds, and tents.
6 Wannan ya sa har ƙasar ba tă ishe su yayinda suke zama tare ba, saboda mallakarsu ta yi yawa har ba za su iya zama tare ba.
And the land could not support them, that they might dwell together, for their property was great; and they could not dwell together.

And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram's cattle and the herdsmen of Lot's cattle. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite were dwelling then in the land.

And Abram said to Lot, I pray thee let there be no contention between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen, for we are brethren.
9 Ba ga dukan ƙasar tana gabanka ba? Bari mu rabu. In ka yi hagu sai ni in yi dama. In ka yi dama, sai ni in yi hagu.”
Is not the whole land before thee? Separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if to the left, then I will take the right; and if to the right, then I will take the left.

And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of the Jordan that it was thoroughly watered, before Jehovah had destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah; as the garden of Jehovah, like the land of Egypt, as one goes to Zoar.

And Lot chose for himself all the plain of the Jordan; and Lot went toward the east. And they separated the one from the other:

And Jehovah said to Abram, after that Lot had separated himself from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art, northward and southward and eastward and westward;
15 Dukan ƙasar da kake gani zan ba ka, kai da zuriyarka har abada.
for all the land that thou seest will I give to thee, and to thy seed for ever.
16 Zan sa zuriyarka tă yi yawa kamar ƙurar ƙasa, har in wani yana iya ƙidaya ƙurar, to, za a iya ƙidaya zuriyarka.
And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth, so that if any one can number the dust of the earth, thy seed also will be numbered.
17 Tafi, ka ratsa tsawo da fāɗin ƙasar, gama zan ba ka ita.”
Arise, walk through the land according to the length of it and according to the breadth of it; for I will give it to thee.

Then Abram moved [his] tents, and came and dwelt by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron. And he built there an altar to Jehovah.
