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.

So Abram came up out of Egypt he and his wife and all that he had and Lot with him, towards the South.

2 Ary Abrama nanana harena be, dia omby aman’ ondry sy volafotsy ary volamena.

Now, Abram, was very rich, —in cattle, in silver and in 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 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 dia teo amin’ ny tany izay nisy ilay alitara nataony tamin’ ny voalohany; ary dia niantso ny anaran’ i Jehovah teo Abrama.

unto the place of the altar, which he made there at first, —and Abram called there, on the name of Yahweh.

5 Ary Lota koa, izay niara-nandeha tamin’ i Abrama, dia mba nanana ondry sy omby sy lay.

Now, Lot also, who was going with Abram, had flocks and herds 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 suffered them not to dwell together, —because their substance had become, great, so that they could not dwell 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 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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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 circuit of the Jordan, so Lot brake up eastwards, —and they separated themselves, each man from his brother:

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.

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 Ary ny mponina tao Sodoma dia tena ratsy fanahy sady mpanota indrindra tamin’ i Jehovah.

Now, the men of Sodom were base and sinful, —against Yahweh, exceedingly.

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, 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 fa ny tany rehetra izay tazanao dia homeko anao sy ny taranakao mandrakizay.

for all the land which thou art beholding—to thee, will I give it, and to thy seed unto times age-abiding;

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 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 Miaingà ianao, mandehana mitety ny tany, dia any amin’ ny lavany sy any amin’ ny sakany; fa homeko anao izy.

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 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.

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.
