Uumama 13

1 Abraam niitii isaatii fi waan qabu hunda wajjin Gibxii kaʼee Negeebitti ol baʼe; Looxis isa wajjin deeme.

And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.

2 Abraamis horiin, meetii fi warqeedhaan akka malee soorome.

And Abram was very rich in cattle, 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;

And he went on his journeys from the south even to Beth-el, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beth-el and 'Ai;

4 iddoon sunis lafa inni yeroo jalqabaatiif iddoo aarsaa itti ijaaree dha. Abraamis achitti maqaa Waaqayyoo waammate.

Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first; and Abram called there on the name of the Lord.

5 Loox namichi Abraam wajjin deemaa ture suni akkasuma bushaayee, saawwanii fi dunkaanota qaba ture.

And Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.

6 Yeroo isaan walii wajjin jiraatanitti lafti isaanitti dhiphatte; sababii qabeenyi isaanii akka malee guddateefis isaan wal bira jiraachuu hin dandeenye.

And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together; for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.

7 Kanaafuu tiksoota Abraamii fi tiksoota Loox gidduutti lolli uumame. Yeroo sanatti Kanaʼaanonnii fi Feerzonnis biyya sana keessa jiraachaa turan.

And there arose a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle, and the herdmen of Lot's cattle; and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.

8 Abraamis Looxiin akkana jedhe; “Nu waan obboloota taaneef, siʼii fi ana gidduu yookaan tiksoota keetii fi tiksoota koo gidduu lolli hin jiraatin.

And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we are near 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 thee? Separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right, 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.

And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere; before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, [it was] like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, till thou comest unto Zoar.

11 Kanaafuu Loox hurufa Yordaanos guutummaatti ofii isaatii filatee gara baʼa biiftuutti godaane. Jarri lamaanis akkasitti gargari baʼan.

Then Lot chose himself all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east; and they separated themselves the one from the other.

12 Abraam biyya Kanaʼaan keessa jiraate; Loox immoo magaalaawwan dirree irra jiran gidduu jiraatee dunkaana isaa Sodoom bira dhaabbate.

Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan; and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tents, till close to Sodom.

13 Warri Sodoom jalʼoota fuula Waaqayyoo duratti akka malee cubbuu hojjetan turan.

But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly.

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.

And the Lord said unto Abram, after Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thy eyes, and look from the place where thou art, northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward;

15 Anis biyya ati argitu kana hunda bara baraan siʼii fi sanyii keetiif nan kenna.

For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed forever.

16 Ani sanyii kee akkuma biyyoo lafaa nan baayʼisa; yoo namni biyyoo lafaa lakkaaʼuu dandaʼe, sanyiin kee akkasuma lakkaaʼamuu dandaʼa.

And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth; so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.

17 Kaʼiitii dheerinaa fi balʼina lafa kanaa keessa dedeemi; ani isa siifin kennaatii.”

Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for unto thee will I give it.

18 Kanaafuu Abraam dunkaana isaa buqqifatee qilxuuwwan Mamree kanneen Kebroonitti argaman bira jiraachuu dhaqe; achittis iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyoof tolche.

Then Abram pitched his tent, and came and dwelt in the grove of Mamre, which is in Hebron; and he built there an altar unto the Lord.
