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 went up from Egypt and went into the Negev, he, his wife, and all that he had. Lot also went with them.
2 Ua waiwai nui loa o Aberama i na holoholona, i ke kala a me ke gula.
Now Abram was very rich in animals, 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;
He continued on his journey from the Negev to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been 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.
He went to the place where the altar was that he had built previously. Here he called 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, who was traveling with Abram, also had 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.
The land was not able to support them both living close together, because their possessions were very many, so that they could not stay 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.
Also, there was a dispute between the herdsmen of Abram's animals and the herdsmen of Lot's animals. The Canaanites and the Perizzites were 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, “Let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen; after all, we are 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.
Is not the whole land before you? Go ahead and separate yourself from me. If you go to the left, then I will go to the right. Or if you go to the right, 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 looked around, and saw that the whole plain of the Jordan was well watered everywhere all the way to Zoar, like the garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt. This was before Yahweh 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 for himself all the plain of the Jordan and traveled east, and the relatives 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 lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived among the cities of the plain. He set up his tents as far away 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 very wicked sinners against Yahweh.
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:
Yahweh said to Abram after Lot had departed from him, “Look from the place where you are 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.
All this land which you see, I will give to you and to 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.
I will make your descendants as abundant as the dust of the earth, so that if a man could count the dust of the earth, then your descendants could also be counted.
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.
Arise, walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I will give 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 picked up his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and there built an altar to Yahweh.
