Jenesis 13
1 Ebram na nwunye, na ihe niile ha nwere hapụrụ ala Ijipt, gaa ije bịaruo Negev. Lọt sokwa ha.
And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the South.
2 Nʼoge a, Ebram aghọọla ọgaranya dị ukwuu, onye nwere akụnụba nke ọtụtụ anụ ụlọ, na ọlaọcha, na ọlaedo.
And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
3 Ha sitere na Negev pụọ ije site nʼotu ebe ruo nʼebe ọzọ tutu ha erute Betel, nʼebe dị nʼetiti Betel na Ai, ebe ọ mara ụlọ ikwu ya na mbụ.
And he went on his journeys from the South even to Beth-el, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beth-el and Ai;
4 Nʼebe nsọ o wukwara ebe ịchụ aja na mbụ, nʼebe ahụ Ebram kpọkuru aha Onyenwe anyị.
unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.
5 Ugbu a Lọt, onye ya na Ebram so na njem ya, bụkwa onye nwere akụnụba nke igwe ewu na atụrụ, na igwe ehi, na ọtụtụ ụlọ ikwu.
And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
6 Ma ala ebe ha nọ ezurughị ha mgbe ha nọkọrọ ọnụ nʼihi na ihe onwunwe ha dị ukwuu ruo na ha enweghị ike ịnọkọ ọnụ.
And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.
7 Nke a mere esemokwu ji dapụta nʼetiti ndị ọzụzụ anụ ụlọ Ebram na ndị ọzụzụ anụ ụlọ Lọt. Ndị Kenan na ndị Periz bikwa nʼala ahụ nʼoge ahụ.
And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram’s cattle and the herdmen of Lot’s cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.
8 Ya mere Ebram gwara Lọt sị, “Biko, ka esemokwu ghara ịdị nʼetiti mụ na gị, maọbụ nʼetiti ndị ọzụzụ anụ ụlọ m na ndị ọzụzụ anụ ụlọ gị, nʼihi na anyị bụ ụmụnne.
And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we are brethren.
9 Lee, ọ bụ na ala a niile adịghị nʼihu gị? Ka anyị kewaa. Ọ bụrụ na ị gaa nʼakụkụ aka ekpe, aga m aga nʼakụkụ aka nri. Ma ọ bụrụ na i gaa nʼakụkụ aka nri gị, aga m aga nʼakụkụ aka ekpe.”
Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if [thou wilt take] the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if [thou take] the right hand, then I will go to the left.
10 Lọt lelitere anya hụ na mbara ala Jọdan bụ ala mmiri na-ezokwasị nke ọma, ala dịka ubi a gbara ogige Onyenwe anyị, dịka ala ndị Ijipt nke dị na nso nso Zoa. (Ihe a mere tupu Onyenwe anyị ebibie obodo Sọdọm na Gọmọra.)
And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the Plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou goest unto Zoar.
11 Ya mere, Lọt họọrọ nye onwe ya mbara ala Jọdan niile, chee ihu ịga nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ. Ya na Ebram kewara.
So Lot chose him all the Plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.
12 Ebram nọdụrụ nʼala Kenan, ma Lọt gara biri nʼetiti obodo ndị ahụ dị na mbara ala. Ọ mara ụlọ ikwu ya nso nso obodo Sọdọm.
Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the Plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.
13 Ma ndị Sọdọm bụ ndị obi tara mmiri, ndị na-emehie nke ukwuu megide Onyenwe anyị.
Now the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners against the LORD exceedingly.
14 Mgbe Lọt siri nʼebe ahụ pụọ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Ebram okwu sị ya, “Site nʼebe ahụ ị nọ lelie anya gị, lee anya nʼugwu na ndịda, nʼọwụwa anyanwụ na ọdịda anyanwụ.
And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art, northward and southward and eastward and westward:
15 Ala ahụ niile ị hụrụ ka m ga-enye gị na mkpụrụ gị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
for all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
16 Aga m eme ka mkpụrụ gị baa ụba dịka aja dị nʼala. Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ enwe ike ịgụta ọnụọgụgụ aja dị nʼala, ha ga-enwe ike gụta ọnụọgụgụ mkpụrụ gị.
And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.
17 Bilie jegharịa nʼala ahụ niile nʼakụkụ ya ọbụla, nʼihi na ana m enye gị ha niile.”
Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for unto thee will I give it.
18 Ya mere, Ebram bugharịrị ụlọ ikwu ya, gaa biri nʼakụkụ osisi ukwu Mamre nke dị na Hebrọn. O wuru ebe ịchụ aja nye Onyenwe anyị nʼebe ahụ.
And Abram moved his tent, and came and dwelt by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD.
