Genesisy 13
1 Aa le nionjoñe boake Mitsraime ao t’i Avrame naho i vali’ey naho ze vara’e iaby, mb’ atimoy añe, vaho nindre ama’e t’i Lote.
So Abram and Sarai left Egypt, and they took along all his possessions, and Lot went with them to the Negev [Desert].
2 Fa nimpañarivo an-kare naho volafoty vaho volamena t’i Avrame.
Abram was very rich. He owned a lot of livestock, silver and gold.
3 Ie boak’ amy atimoy añe le nionjoñe sikal’ amy Betele, amy namboare’e kibohotse añivo’ i Betele naho i Aý am-pifotora’ey,
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 amy nañoreña’e kitrely valoha’ey. Teo ty nikanjia’ i Avrame ty tahina’ Iehovà.
and where Abram had made a stone altar and worshiped Yahweh.
5 Nanam-pirai-troke naho mpirai-lia naho kibohotse ka t’i Lote mpindre fañavelo ama’e.
Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had flocks of sheep and goats and herds of cattle, and tents.
6 Fe tsy nahatsapake iareo roe i taney, hitraofa’ iareo, fa loho bey ty vara’ iareo kanao tsy nahafiharo toboke.
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 Nifampibozizy amy zao o mpiara-lia-rai’ i Avrameo naho o mpiara’ i Loteo. Nimoneñe amy taney henane zay o nte-Kanàneo naho o nte-Perizeo.
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 Aa le hoe t’i Avrame amy Lote, Ee te tsy hifañolañe tika naho o mpiara’oo naho o ahikoo, amy te mpirahalahy tika.
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 Aa vaho tsy hene miatrek’ azo o taneo? Misitaha amako arè, aa ihe homb’ am-pitàn-kavia mb’eo, le ho mb’an-kavana iraho; ke ihe mb’ am-pitàn-kavana, le izaho mb’ an-kavia.
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 Nampiandra-pihaino t’i Lote, nahatalake te soa fitondrake iaby ty vavatane’ Iordaney eñe manahake ty golobo’ Iehovà, hambañe an-tane Mitsraime amy figodañañe mb’e Tsoare mb’eoy, (taolo’ ty nandrotsaha’ Iehovà i Sedome naho i Amorà).
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 Jinobo’ i Lote i vavatane’ Iordaney iabiy naho nañavelo mb’atiñanañe mb’eo t’i Lote, ie nifampiria.
So Lot chose the land in the plain of the Jordan [River]. He left his uncle, Abram, and moved east.
12 Nimoneñe an-tane Kanàney t’i Avrame vaho nimoneñe amo rova’ i vavataneio t’i Lote vaho nañoren-kiboho mb’e Sedome añe.
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 Ni‑lo tsereke o nte-Sedomeo, vata’e bei-hakeo am’ Iehovà.
[You need to know that] people who lived there were extremely wicked.
14 Hoe t’Iehovà amy Avrame, naho fa nisitaha’ i Lote. Ampiandrao fihaino henaneo vaho mitalakesa boak’ amo iambesara’oo mañavaratse naho mañatimo naho maniñana vaho mañandrefa;
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 amy te hatoloko azo naho amo tarira’o kitro-añ’ afe’eo ze hene tane isa’o.
I will give to you and your descendants all the land that you see; I will give it to you forever.
16 Hampiraeko ami’ty lembo’ ty tane toy o tarira’oo; aa naho mahaiake ty debo’ ty tane toy t’indaty le mete hiaheñe ka o tarira’oo.
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 Miongaha arè le rangao ty andàva’ o taneo naho ty am-pohe’e, fa hene hatoloko azo.
Walk through the land in every direction, because I am going to give it all to you.”
18 Aa le nasi’ i Avrame ty kijà’e le nimb’eo naho nitobe amo hatae jabajaba’ i Mamrè e Khebroneo vaho nañoreñe kitrely am’ Iehovà.
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.
