UGenesisi 13

1 UAbrama wasesenyuka eGibhithe, yena lomkakhe lakho konke ayelakho loLothi kanye laye, waya eningizimu.

And he went up Abram from Egypt he and wife his and all that [belonged] to him and Lot with him the Negev towards.

2 Njalo uAbrama wayenothile kakhulu, ngezifuyo, ngesiliva, langegolide.

And Abram [was] wealthy very in livestock in silver and in gold.

3 Wasehamba kuzinhambo zakhe esuka eningizimu, waze wafika eBhetheli, endaweni lapho ithente lakhe elalikhona kuqala, phakathi kweBhetheli leAyi;

And he went to journeyings his from [the] Negev and to Beth-el to the place where it had been there (tent his *Q(K)*) at the beginning between Beth-el and between Ai.

4 endaweni yelathi ayelenzile khona kuqala; uAbrama wasebiza ibizo leNkosi lapho.

To [the] place of the altar which he had made there at the former [time] and he called there Abram on [the] name of Yahweh.

5 LoLothi laye, owayehamba loAbrama, wayelezimvu lezinkomo lamathente.

And also to Lot who was traveling with Abram it be[longed] sheep and cattle and tents.

6 Njalo ilizwe lalingebathwale ukuthi bahlale ndawonye, ngoba impahla yabo yayinengi, ukuthi babengeke bahlala ndawonye.

And not it supported them the land to dwell together for it was possession[s] their much and not they were able to dwell together.

7 Kwasekusiba khona ukuxabana phakathi kwabelusi bezifuyo zikaAbrama labelusi bezifuyo zikaLothi. Ngalesosikhathi amaKhanani lamaPerizi ayehlala elizweni.

And it was quarreling between [the] herdsmen of [the] livestock of Abram and between [the] herdsmen of [the] livestock of Lot and the Canaanite[s] and the Perizzite[s] then [was] dwelling in the land.

8 UAbrama wasesithi kuLothi: Ake kungabi khona ukuxabana phakathi kwami lawe, laphakathi kwabelusi bami labelusi bakho, ngoba singamadoda osendo.

And he said Abram to Lot may not please there be strife between me and between you and between herdsmen my and between herdsmen your for [are] men brothers we.

9 Ilizwe lonke kaliphambi kwakho yini? Yehlukana-ke lami; uba usiya kwesokhohlo, ngizakuya kwesokunene; kodwa uba kwesokunene, ngizakuya kwesokhohlo.

¿ Not [is] all the land before you separate please from with me if the left so let me go right and if the right and I will go left.

10 ULothi wasephakamisa amehlo akhe, wabona lonke igceke leJordani ukuthi lalithelelwe kuhle lonke. INkosi ingakachithi iSodoma leGomora, lalinjengensimu yeNkosi, njengelizwe leGibhithe, nxa usiya eZowari.

And he lifted up Lot eyes his and he saw all [the] valley of the Jordan that all of it [was] well-watered before - destroyed Yahweh Sodom and Gomorrah like [the] garden of Yahweh like [the] land of Egypt going you Zoar.

11 ULothi wasezikhethela lonke igceke leJordani; uLothi wasesiya empumalanga; basebezehlukanisa omunye komunye.

And he chose for himself Lot all [the] valley of the Jordan and he set out Lot from [the] east and they separated each from with brother his.

12 UAbrama wahlala elizweni leKhanani, uLothi wasehlala emizini yemagcekeni, wamisa ithente lakhe eduze leSodoma.

Abram he dwelt in [the] land of Canaan and Lot he dwelt in [the] cities of the valley and he moved tent to Sodom.

13 Kodwa abantu beSodoma babebabi babeyizoni phambi kweNkosi kakhulu.

And [the] people of Sodom [were] wicked and sinful to Yahweh exceedingly.

14 INkosi yasisithi kuAbrama emva kokuthi uLothi esehlukaniswe laye: Phakamisa-ke amehlo akho, ukhangele endaweni lapho okhona, ngasenyakatho langaseningizimu langasempumalanga langasentshonalanga,

And Yahweh he said to Abram after separated Lot from with him lift up please eyes your and look from the place where you [are] there north-ward and south-ward and east-ward and west-ward.

15 ngoba ilizwe lonke olibonayo ngizalinika wena, lakunzalo yakho kuze kube nininini.

For all the land which you [are] seeing to you I will give it and to offspring your until perpetuity.

16 Njalo ngizakwenza inzalo yakho ibe njengothuli lomhlaba, kuze kuthi uba umuntu engabala uthuli lomhlaba, izabalwa lenzalo yakho.

And I will make offspring your like [the] dust of the earth which - if he will be able anyone to count [the] dust of the earth also offspring your it will numbered.

17 Sukuma uhambe udabule ilizwe, ebudeni balo lebubanzini balo, ngoba ngizalinika wena.

Arise walk about in the land to length its and to breadth its for to you I will give it.

18 UAbrama wasesusa amathente wafika wahlala ezihlahleni zama-okhi zeMamre, eziseHebroni, wakhela lapho iNkosi ilathi.

And he moved tent Abram and he went and he dwelt at [the] great trees of Mamre which [are] at Hebron and he built there an altar to Yahweh.
