Kinohi 13
1 PII hou mai la o Aberama mai Aigupita mai, oia me kana wahine, a me kana mau mea a pau, a me ia no o Lota, i kau wahi o ke kukuluhema.
So Abram left Egypt and went back into the Negev along with Sarai, Lot, and everyone with them, as well as all their possessions.
2 Ua waiwai nui loa o Aberama i na holoholona, i ke kala a me ke gula.
Abram was very rich, having many herds of livestock and a great deal of silver and gold.
3 Hele ae la ia i kona hele ana mai ke kukuluhema mai a Betela, kahi i ku ai o kona halelewa mamua, mawaena o Betela a me Hai;
He left the Negev and traveled in stages to Bethel, back to the place where he'd camped before, between Bethel and Ai.
4 Kahi o ke kuahu ana i haua'i mamua: ilaila o Aberama i kahea aku ai i ka inoa o Iehova.
This was where he'd first built an altar. He worshiped the Lord there as he had done previously.
5 A o Lota hoi, ka mea i hele pu me Aberama, he hipa no kana me na bipi a me na halelewa.
Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had many flocks, herds, and tents,
6 Aole i pono ka aina no laua, i noho pu ai laua, no ka nui o ko laua waiwai, aole i hiki ia laua ke noho pu.
so much so that the available land couldn't support both of them—they had so much livestock they couldn't stay together anymore.
7 Hakaka ae la ka poe kahubipi a Aberama me ka poe kahubipi a Lota: e noho ana no ka Kanaana a me ka Perezi ma ia aina ia manawa.
Abram's and Lot's herdsmen were arguing, and in addition the Canaanites and Perizzites were also living in the land at that time.
8 I aku la o Aberama ia Lota, Ea, aole make hakaka kaua, kekahi i kekahi, aole hoi ka'u poe kahubipi me kau poe kahubipi; no ka mea, he mau hoahanau kaua.
So Abram said to Lot, “Please don't let's have arguments between us, or between our herdsmen, because we're family.
9 Aole anei ma kou alo ka aina a pau? ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hookaawale kaua: ina oe ma ka lima hema, alaila e hele au ma ka lima akau; a ma ka lima akau oe, alaila e hele au ma ka lima hema.
You see all this land that's available right in front of you? We have to split up. If you choose to go to the left, I'll go to the right. If you choose to go to the right, I'll go to the left.”
10 Alawa ae la ko Lota mau maka, ike aku la i na wahi papu o Ioredane, he nui ka wai ma ia wahi a pau i kou hele ana mai i Zoara, mamua o ko Iehova luku ana ia Sodoma a me Gomora, e like me ka mahinaai o Iehova, a e like me ka aina i Aigupita.
Lot looked over the whole Jordan valley towards Zoar, and saw that it was well-watered, looking like the Garden of Eden, like the land of Egypt. (This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)
11 Alaila, wae iho la o Lota i ka papu a pau o Ioredane: a hele aku la o Lota ma ka hikina, a hookaawale ae la laua i ke kekahi me kekahi.
So Lot chose the whole Jordan valley and went east, and the two separated from each other.
12 Noho iho la o Aberama ma ka aina i Kanaana, a noho aku la o Lota ma na kulanakauhale o ua papu la, a kukulu iho la i kona halelewa ma Sodoma.
Abram went to live in the land of Canaan, while Lot settled down among the towns in the valley, setting up his tents near Sodom.
13 A o na kanaka o Sodoma, he poe hewa lakou, he lawehala loa imua o Iehova.
(The people of Sodom were very wicked, committing terrible sins that offended the Lord.)
14 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Aberama mahope mai o ko Lota hookaawale ana ae mai ona aku la, E alawa ae oe i kou mau maka, a e nana aku mai kou wahi e noho nei, i ke kukuluakau a i ke kukuluhema, a i ka hikina hoi a i ke komohana:
After separating from Lot, the Lord told Abram, “Look around you from where you're standing, to the north, south, east, and west.
15 No ka mea, o ka aina a pau au e ike nei, na'u ia e haawi aku nou, a no kau poe mamo mahope mau loa aku.
I'm giving all this land you see to you and your descendants forever.
16 E hoomahuahua aku no wau i kau poe mamo e like me ka lepo o ka honua: ina e hiki i ke kanaka ke helu i na huna lepo o ka honua, alaila e heluia kau poe mamo.
You will have so many descendants that they'll be like the dust of the earth. If anyone could count dust then they could count the number of your descendants!
17 E ku ae; e kaahele i ka aina ma kona loa a ma kona laula; no ka mea, na'u no ia e haawi aku nou.
Go and walk through the whole land in all directions because I'm giving it to you.”
18 Alaila lawe ae la o Aberama i kona halelewa, hele aku la ia a noho iho la ma na laau oka no Mamere, aia no ma Heberona, a hana iho la ia ilaila i kuahu no Iehova.
So Abram went to live at Hebron, setting up his tents among the oaks at Mamre, where he built an altar to the Lord.
