Uumama 13
1 Abraam niitii isaatii fi waan qabu hunda wajjin Gibxii kaʼee Negeebitti ol baʼe; Looxis isa wajjin deeme.
Abram went up out of Egypt—he, his wife, all that he had, and Lot with him—into the South.
2 Abraamis horiin, meetii fi warqeedhaan akka malee soorome.
Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.
3 Innis Negeebii kaʼee hamma Beetʼeel, iddoo Beetʼeelii fi Aayi gidduu, lafa dunkaanni isaa jalqabatti ture sana gaʼutti iddoo tokkoo gara iddoo biraatti deemsa isaa itti fufe;
He went on his journeys from the South as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,
4 iddoon sunis lafa inni yeroo jalqabaatiif iddoo aarsaa itti ijaaree dha. Abraamis achitti maqaa Waaqayyoo waammate.
to the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first. There Abram called on the LORD’s name.
5 Loox namichi Abraam wajjin deemaa ture suni akkasuma bushaayee, saawwanii fi dunkaanota qaba ture.
Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, herds, and tents.
6 Yeroo isaan walii wajjin jiraatanitti lafti isaanitti dhiphatte; sababii qabeenyi isaanii akka malee guddateefis isaan wal bira jiraachuu hin dandeenye.
The land was not able to bear them, that they might live together; for their possessions were so great that they could not live together.
7 Kanaafuu tiksoota Abraamii fi tiksoota Loox gidduutti lolli uumame. Yeroo sanatti Kanaʼaanonnii fi Feerzonnis biyya sana keessa jiraachaa turan.
There was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. The Canaanites and the Perizzites lived in the land at that time.
8 Abraamis Looxiin akkana jedhe; “Nu waan obboloota taaneef, siʼii fi ana gidduu yookaan tiksoota keetii fi tiksoota koo gidduu lolli hin jiraatin.
Abram said to Lot, “Please, let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen; for we are relatives.
9 Lafti hundi fuula kee dura jirti mitii? Kottu gargari godaannaa. Yoo ati gara bitaatti deemte, ani gara mirgaatti nan deema; yoo ati gara mirgaatti deemte immoo ani gara bitaatti nan deema.”
Is not the whole land before you? Please separate yourself from me. If you go to the left hand, then I will go to the right. Or if you go to the right hand, then I will go to the left.”
10 Looxis ol jedhee ilaalee akka hurufni Yordaanos hundi akkuma iddoo biqiltuu Waaqayyoo akkuma biyya Gibxi kan karaa Zoʼaar irra jiru sanaa bishaan baayʼee qabu arge. Kunis utuu Waaqayyo Sodoomii fi Gomoraa hin balleessiniin dura ture.
Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well-watered everywhere, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as you go to Zoar.
11 Kanaafuu Loox hurufa Yordaanos guutummaatti ofii isaatii filatee gara baʼa biiftuutti godaane. Jarri lamaanis akkasitti gargari baʼan.
So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated themselves from one another.
12 Abraam biyya Kanaʼaan keessa jiraate; Loox immoo magaalaawwan dirree irra jiran gidduu jiraatee dunkaana isaa Sodoom bira dhaabbate.
Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.
13 Warri Sodoom jalʼoota fuula Waaqayyoo duratti akka malee cubbuu hojjetan turan.
Now the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinners against the LORD.
14 Erga Loox isa biraa godaanee booddee Waaqayyo Abraamiin akkana jedhe; “Iddoo amma jirtu kanaa ija kee ol fudhadhuutii gara kaabaa fi kibbaa, gara baʼa biiftuutii fi lixa biiftuu ilaali.
The LORD said to Abram, after Lot was separated from him, “Now, lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward,
15 Anis biyya ati argitu kana hunda bara baraan siʼii fi sanyii keetiif nan kenna.
for I will give all the land which you see to you and to your offspring forever.
16 Ani sanyii kee akkuma biyyoo lafaa nan baayʼisa; yoo namni biyyoo lafaa lakkaaʼuu dandaʼe, sanyiin kee akkasuma lakkaaʼamuu dandaʼa.
I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if a man can count the dust of the earth, then your offspring may also be counted.
17 Kaʼiitii dheerinaa fi balʼina lafa kanaa keessa dedeemi; ani isa siifin kennaatii.”
Arise, walk through the land in its length and in its width; for I will give it to you.”
18 Kanaafuu Abraam dunkaana isaa buqqifatee qilxuuwwan Mamree kanneen Kebroonitti argaman bira jiraachuu dhaqe; achittis iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyoof tolche.
Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to the LORD.
