Genesisi 13
1 Saka Abhurama akakwidza achibva kuIjipiti akaenda kuNegevhi, nomukadzi wake uye nezvinhu zvose zvaakanga anazvo, uye Roti akaenda naye.
So Abram left Egypt and went back into the Negev along with Sarai, Lot, and everyone with them, as well as all their possessions.
2 Abhurama akanga apfuma kwazvo pamombe nesirivha uye negoridhe.
Abram was very rich, having many herds of livestock and a great deal of silver and gold.
3 Kubva kuNegevhi akafamba nzvimbo nenzvimbo kudzamara asvika kuBheteri, kunzvimbo iri pakati peBheteri neAi kwaimbova netende rake kare
He left the Negev and traveled in stages to Bethel, back to the place where he'd camped before, between Bethel and Ai.
4 uye kwaakanga atanga kuvaka aritari. Abhurama akadana kuzita raJehovha ikoko.
This was where he'd first built an altar. He worshiped the Lord there as he had done previously.
5 Zvino Roti, uyo akanga achifamba naAbhurama, akanga ana makwai nemombewo namatende.
Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had many flocks, herds, and tents,
6 Asi nyika haina kugona kuvaringana kuti vagare pamwe chete, nokuti pfuma yavo yakanga yakawanda kwazvo zvokuti vakanga vasisakwanisi kugara pamwe chete.
so much so that the available land couldn't support both of them—they had so much livestock they couldn't stay together anymore.
7 Uye gakava rakamuka pakati pavafudzi vaAbhurama navafudzi vaRoti. VaKenani navaPerizi vakanga vachigarawo munyika panguva iyoyo.
Abram's and Lot's herdsmen were arguing, and in addition the Canaanites and Perizzites were also living in the land at that time.
8 Saka Abhurama akati kuna Roti, “Ngaparege kuva negakava pakati pako neni, kana pakati pavafudzi vako nevangu, nokuti tiri hama.
So Abram said to Lot, “Please don't let's have arguments between us, or between our herdsmen, because we're family.
9 Ko, nyika yose iyi haisi pamberi pako here? Ngatiparadzane. Kana ukaenda kuruboshwe, ini ndichaenda kurudyi; kana ukaenda kurudyi, ini ndichaenda kuruboshwe.”
You see all this land that's available right in front of you? We have to split up. If you choose to go to the left, I'll go to the right. If you choose to go to the right, I'll go to the left.”
10 Roti akatarira kumusoro akaona bani rose reJorodhani kuti rakanga rakanyatsonyorova, sebindu raJehovha, kufanana nenyika yeIjipiti, kwakanangana neZoari. (Panguva iyi Jehovha akanga achigere kuparadza Sodhomu neGomora.)
Lot looked over the whole Jordan valley towards Zoar, and saw that it was well-watered, looking like the Garden of Eden, like the land of Egypt. (This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)
11 Saka Roti akazvisarudzira bani rose reJorodhani uye akasimuka akananga kumabvazuva. Varume vaviri ava vakaparadzana:
So Lot chose the whole Jordan valley and went east, and the two separated from each other.
12 Abhurama akagara munyika yeKenani, Roti akagara pakati pamaguta omumapani uye akadzika matende ake pedyo neSodhomu.
Abram went to live in the land of Canaan, while Lot settled down among the towns in the valley, setting up his tents near Sodom.
13 Zvino varume veSodhomu vakanga vakaipa uye vaitadzira Jehovha kwazvo.
(The people of Sodom were very wicked, committing terrible sins that offended the Lord.)
14 Jehovha akati kuna Abhurama shure kwokubva kwaRoti, “Simudza meso ako uri pauri ipapo uye utarire kumusoro nezasi, kumabvazuva nokumavirira.
After separating from Lot, the Lord told Abram, “Look around you from where you're standing, to the north, south, east, and west.
15 Nyika yose yauri kuona ndichakupa iwe navana vako nokusingaperi.
I'm giving all this land you see to you and your descendants forever.
16 Ndichaita kuti vana vako vave seguruva renyika, zvokuti kana pano munhu angagona kuverenga guruva, naizvozvo vana vako vachagona kuverengwawo.
You will have so many descendants that they'll be like the dust of the earth. If anyone could count dust then they could count the number of your descendants!
17 Enda, famba munyika, muurefu nomuupamhi hwayo, nokuti ndichaipa kwauri.”
Go and walk through the whole land in all directions because I'm giving it to you.”
18 Saka Abhurama akabvisa matende ake uye akandogara pedyo nemiti mikuru yeMamure paHebhuroni, uye akavakira Jehovha aritari ipapo.
So Abram went to live at Hebron, setting up his tents among the oaks at Mamre, where he built an altar to the Lord.
