Genesisy 13
1 Ary Abrama dia niakatra niala tany Egypta, dia izy sy ny vadiny mbamin’ ny fananany rehetra, ary Lota koa niaraka taminy, ho any amin’ ny tany atsimo.
And Abram went up out of Egypt, he and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the wilderness.
2 Ary Abrama nanana harena be, dia omby aman’ ondry sy volafotsy ary volamena.
And Abram was very rich in cattle, and silver, and gold.
3 Ary mbola nandeha ihany izy ka nifindrafindra hatrany amin’ ny tany atsimo ka hatrany Betela, izay niorenan’ ny lainy tamin’ ny voalohany, teo anelanelan’ i Betela sy Ay,
And he went [to the place] whence he came, into the wilderness as far as Baethel, as far as the place where his tent was before, between Baethel and Aggai,
4 dia teo amin’ ny tany izay nisy ilay alitara nataony tamin’ ny voalohany; ary dia niantso ny anaran’ i Jehovah teo Abrama.
to the place of the altar, which he built there at first, and Abram there called on the name of the Lord.
5 Ary Lota koa, izay niara-nandeha tamin’ i Abrama, dia mba nanana ondry sy omby sy lay.
And Lot who went out with Abram had sheep, and oxen, and tents.
6 Ary tsy omby azy roa lahy ny tany hiraisany monina; fa efa be ny fananany, ka tsy nahazo niray monina izy.
And the land was not large enough for them to live together, because their possessions were great; and the land was not large enough for them to live together.
7 Dia niady ny mpiandry ombin’ i Abrama sy ny mpiandry ombin’ i Lota; ary ny Kananita sy ny Perizita no tompon-tany tao Kanana fahizay.
And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle, and the herdmen of Lot's cattle, and the Chananites and the Pherezites then inhabited the land.
8 Ary hoy Abrama tamin’ i Lota: Aoka re mba tsy hisy ady amintsika roa lahy, na amin’ ny mpiandry ombiko sy ny mpiandry ombinao, fa mpirahalahy isika.
And Abram said to Lot, Let there not be a strife between me and you, and between my herdmen and your herdmen, for we are brethren.
9 Moa tsy eo anoloanao va ny tany rehetra? Masìna ianao, aoka hisaraka amiko ianao; raha hianavaratra ianao, dia hianatsimo aho; fa raha hianatsimo ianao, dia hianavaratra kosa aho.
Behold! is not the whole land before you? Separate yourself from me; if you [go] to the left, I will go to the right, and if you go to the right, I will go to the left.
10 Ary Lota nanopy ny masony ka nitazana ny tany rehetra teny amoron’ i Jordana hatrany akaikin’ i Zoara, fa azon-drano avokoa izy rehetra (talohan’ ny nandravan’ i Jehovah an’ i Sodoma sy Gomora izany), tahaka ny sahan’ i Jehovah sy tahaka ny tany Egypta.
And Lot having lifted up his eyes, observed all the country round about Jordan, that it was all watered, before God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrha, as the garden of the Lord, and as the land of Egypt, until you come to Zogora.
11 Dia nofidin’ i Lota ho azy ny tany rehetra amoron’ i Jordana, ka nifindra niantsinanana izy; ka dia nisaraka izy roa lahy.
And Lot chose for himself all the country round Jordan, and Lot went from the east, and they were separated each from his brother. And Abram lived in the land of Chanaan.
12 Ary Abrama nonina tao amin’ ny tany Kanana, fa Lota kosa nonina tao an-tanàna amin’ ny tany amoron’ i Jordana ka nifindrafindra toby hatrany Sodoma.
And Lot lived in a city of the neighbouring people, and pitched his tent in Sodom.
13 Ary ny mponina tao Sodoma dia tena ratsy fanahy sady mpanota indrindra tamin’ i Jehovah.
But the men of Sodom were evil, and exceedingly sinful before God.
14 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Abrama taorian’ ny nisarahan’ i Lota taminy ka nanao hoe: Atopazy ny masonao, ka hatramin’ ity tany itoeranao ity dia mitazana mianavaratra sy mianatsimo ary miantsinanana sy miankandrefana;
And God said to Abram after Lot was separated from him, Look up with your eyes, and behold from the place where you now are northward and southward, and eastward and seaward;
15 fa ny tany rehetra izay tazanao dia homeko anao sy ny taranakao mandrakizay.
for all the land which you see, I will give it to you and to your seed for ever.
16 Ary hataoko maro tahaka ny vovo-tany ny taranakao; koa raha misy olona mahisa ny vovo-tany, dia ho azo isaina koa ny taranakao.
And I will make your seed like the dust of the earth; if any one is able to number the dust of the earth, then shall your seed be numbered.
17 Miaingà ianao, mandehana mitety ny tany, dia any amin’ ny lavany sy any amin’ ny sakany; fa homeko anao izy.
Arise and traverse the land, both in the length of it and in the breadth; for to you will I give it, and to your seed for ever.
18 Ary Abrama nifindrafindra toby, dia nandeha ka nonina teo an-kazo terebintan’ i Mamre, izay any Hebrona, ary nanorina alitara teo ho an’ i Jehovah izy.
And Abram having removed his tent, came and lived by the oak of Mambre, which was in Chebrom, and he there built an altar to the Lord.
