< 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 came up out of Egypt he and his wife and all that he had and Lot with him, towards the South.
2 Ua waiwai nui loa o Aberama i na holoholona, i ke kala a me ke gula.
Now, Abram, was very rich, —in cattle, in silver and in 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;
And he went his way, by his removals, from the South even as far as to Bethel, —as far as the place where his tent was at the beginning, 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.
unto the place of the altar, which he made there at first, —and Abram called there, on the name of Yahweh.
5 A o Lota hoi, ka mea i hele pu me Aberama, he hipa no kana me na bipi a me na halelewa.
Now, Lot also, who was going with Abram, had flocks and 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.
And the land suffered them not to dwell together, —because their substance had become, great, so that they could not dwell together.
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.
And there arose a strife betwixt the herdmen of Abram, and the herdmen of Lot. Now the Canaanite and the Perizzite, were then dwelling in the land.
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 then Abram said unto Lot Pray let not cause of strife arise betwixt me and thee, or betwixt my herdmen and thy herdmen; for brethren, are we.
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.
Is not, all the land, before thee? I pray thee, separate thyself from me, —if to the left hand, then I will go to the right, if to the right hand, then I will 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.
So Lot lifted up his eyes and beheld all the circuit of the Jordan, that the whole of it, was well-watered, —before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the Garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt, as thou enterest into Zoar.
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.
And Lot chose for himself all the circuit of the Jordan, so Lot brake up eastwards, —and they separated themselves, each man from his brother:
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, fixed his dwelling in the land of Canaan, —but, Lot, fixed his dwelling among the cities, of the circuit, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.
13 A o na kanaka o Sodoma, he poe hewa lakou, he lawehala loa imua o Iehova.
Now, the men of Sodom were base and sinful, —against Yahweh, exceedingly.
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:
And, Yahweh, said unto Abram after that Lot had separated himself 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 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.
for all the land which thou art beholding—to thee, will I give it, and to thy seed unto times age-abiding;
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.
and I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth, —so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, thy seed also, may be numbered.
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.
Rise! go up and down in the land, to the length thereof and to the breadth thereof, for to thee, will I give it.
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 moved his tent and came in and dwelt among the oaks of Mamre, which were in Hebron, —and built there an altar to Yahweh.
