Jenesis 13

1 Abramu'a Isipi mopareti hakare afufenoma'a enerino nenarone, Lotine neznavreno Negev vu'naku mareri'ne.

So Abram and Sarai left Egypt, and they took along all his possessions, and Lot went with them to the Negev [Desert].

2 Menina Abramu'a afu'zagama, golima, silvama huno rama'a ante'nea ne'kino tusi'a feno ne' mani'ne.

Abram was very rich. He owned a lot of livestock, silver and gold.

3 Hagi masetere hume nevuno, Negev mopare vuno ko'ma mani'neno'ma hu'nere uhanati'ne. Mago kaziga Beteli kuma me'negeno, mago kaziga Ai kuma me'nere uhanati'ne.

They continued traveling from place to place from the Negev [Desert] toward Bethel [town] to the place between Bethel and Ai where they had previously set up their tents,

4 Abramu'a ko'ma have itama tro hunte'nere anante uhanatino, Ra Anumzamofona mono hunte'ne.

and where Abram had made a stone altar and worshiped Yahweh.

5 Abramu'ene vu'nea ne' Lotina sipisipi afu'zaga'ane, bulimakao afuzaga'ane seli noma'araminena me'nea ne' mani'ne.

Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had flocks of sheep and goats and herds of cattle, and tents.

6 Hianagi anama mani'a mopamo'a knarera huozanante'ne. Maka afuzaga zani'amo'a titipa huno ne'zama ne'zamo'a atupa higeno, magopi manigara osu'na'e.

But they had so many animals that they could not all stay in the same area. There was not enough land to provide water and food for all their animals.

7 Ana nehigeno Abramune, Lotikizni afu kva vahe'mo'za fra vazi'naze. Ana knafina Kenani vahe'ene, Perisi vahe'mo'za ana mopafina mani titipa hu'naze.

Furthermore, the descendants of Canaan and Perizzi were also living in that area, and the land really belonged to them. And the men who took care of Abram’s animals started quarreling with the men who took care of Lot’s animals.

8 Abramu'a amanage huno Lotina asami'ne, Tagra mago kora mani'noku fra ovazisnue, bulimakao afuti'are kegavama nehaza vahe'mo'zanena fra ovazisazanki,

So Abram said to Lot, “Since we are close relatives, it is not good for us two to quarrel, or for the men who take care of your animals to quarrel with the men who take care of my animals.

9 rama'a mopa me'neanki kagra kavesite vanuema hanana kaziga vuo. Kagrama hoga kaziga vugahue hananke'na, nagra tamaga kaziga vugahue. Hanki kagrama tamaga kaziga vugahue hananke'na, nagra hoga kaziga vugahue.

There is plenty of land for both of us. So we should separate. You can choose whatever part you want [RHQ]. If you want the area over there, I will stay here. If you want the area here, I will go over there.”

10 Loti'ma kesga huno kegantugama nehuno Zoari kazigama keana, Jodani kokamo'a hakare kaziga masavenke huno Ra Anumzamofo Edeni hozagna nehuno, Isipi mopagna hu'negeno ke'ne. Anama hu'neana Sodomune, Gomoranema Ra Anumzamo'ma ahe fananema osu'nea knafi anara hu'ne.

Lot looked around toward Zoar [town], and saw that there was plenty of water all over the plain near the Jordan [River]. It was like the park/garden in Eden, and like the land in Egypt. [That was before Yahweh destroyed [the cities of] Sodom and Gomorrah which were on that plain.]

11 Anante Loti'a mika Jodani agupoma hunehamprino'a zage hanatitega vu'ne. Ananteti naga'ane otre atre hu'na'e.

So Lot chose the land in the plain of the Jordan [River]. He left his uncle, Abram, and moved east.

12 Abramu'a Kenani mopare manigeno, Loti'a ranku'ma zaga me'nefi Jodani agupofi Sodomu tva'onte seli noma'a omegino mani'ne.

Abram stayed in the Canaan area, and Lot started to live near the cities in the plain of the Jordan [River], and he set up his tents near Sodom [city].

13 Sodomu vahe'mo'za havi avu'ava nehu'za kumi huhakare hu'za, Ra Anumzamofo ha' rente'naze.

[You need to know that] people who lived there were extremely wicked.

14 Loti'ma, Abramu'ma atreno vutegeno, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Abramuna asami'ne, Kesga hunka zage hanatitegane, zage fretegane keganti kegama hunka ko.

After Abram and Lot separated, Yahweh said to Abram, “Look around at this whole area where you are. Look north and south, look east and west.

15 Hagi mika kagri'ene, kagehe'ine tami vaganeroe.

I will give to you and your descendants all the land that you see; I will give it to you forever.

16 Nagra kagehe'ina zamazeri hakare ha'nena, ama mopafina kugusopagna hanage'za, vahe'mo'zahamprigara osugahaze.

I will cause your descendants to be as numerous as particles of dust! [It will be easier] to count the particles of dust than it will be to count your descendants [HYP].

17 Hagi otinka vunka enka nehunka, kamisua mopamofo agema'a ko.

Walk through the land in every direction, because I am going to give it all to you.”

18 Higeno Abramu'a otino seli noma'a tagna vazino erino vuno Mamre me'nea oki zafa tavaonte Hebroni kumate, Ra Anumzamofo ita ome tro hu'ne.

So Abram [and his men] took down their tents and moved to Hebron and started to live by the huge trees [at the town] Mamre. He placed a stone altar there to [make sacrifices to] Yahweh.
