Genesisi 13

1 Saka Abhurama akakwidza achibva kuIjipiti akaenda kuNegevhi, nomukadzi wake uye nezvinhu zvose zvaakanga anazvo, uye Roti akaenda naye.

Abram went up out of Egypt: he, his wife, and all his possessions, and Lot with him, into the Negev.

2 Abhurama akanga apfuma kwazvo pamombe nesirivha uye negoridhe.

Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.

3 Kubva kuNegevhi akafamba nzvimbo nenzvimbo kudzamara asvika kuBheteri, kunzvimbo iri pakati peBheteri neAi kwaimbova netende rake kare

He went on his journeys from the Negev even to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,

4 uye kwaakanga atanga kuvaka aritari. Abhurama akadana kuzita raJehovha ikoko.

to the place where he had first built the altar. And there Abram called on the name of God.

5 Zvino Roti, uyo akanga achifamba naAbhurama, akanga ana makwai nemombewo namatende.

Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, and 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.

The land was not able to support them while they stayed together, for they had so many possessions that they were unable to remain together.

7 Uye gakava rakamuka pakati pavafudzi vaAbhurama navafudzi vaRoti. VaKenani navaPerizi vakanga vachigarawo munyika panguva iyoyo.

There was a strife between the herdsmen of Abram's livestock and the herdsmen of Lot's livestock. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite lived 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.

Abram said to Lot, "Please, let there be no strife between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are relatives.

9 Ko, nyika yose iyi haisi pamberi pako here? Ngatiparadzane. Kana ukaenda kuruboshwe, ini ndichaenda kurudyi; kana ukaenda kurudyi, ini ndichaenda kuruboshwe.”

Isn't 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 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 lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well-watered everywhere, like the garden of God, like the land of Egypt, in the direction of Zoar. (This was before God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)

11 Saka Roti akazvisarudzira bani rose reJorodhani uye akasimuka akananga kumabvazuva. Varume vaviri ava vakaparadzana:

So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated from each other.

12 Abhurama akagara munyika yeKenani, Roti akagara pakati pamaguta omumapani uye akadzika matende ake pedyo neSodhomu.

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 Zvino varume veSodhomu vakanga vakaipa uye vaitadzira Jehovha kwazvo.

Now the people of Sodom were evil, sinning greatly against God.

14 Jehovha akati kuna Abhurama shure kwokubva kwaRoti, “Simudza meso ako uri pauri ipapo uye utarire kumusoro nezasi, kumabvazuva nokumavirira.

And God said to Abram after Lot had departed from him, "Now, lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward,

15 Nyika yose yauri kuona ndichakupa iwe navana vako nokusingaperi.

for all the land which you see I will give to you and to your offspring forever.

16 Ndichaita kuti vana vako vave seguruva renyika, zvokuti kana pano munhu angagona kuverenga guruva, naizvozvo vana vako vachagona kuverengwawo.

I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if one can count the dust of the earth, then your offspring also could be counted.

17 Enda, famba munyika, muurefu nomuupamhi hwayo, nokuti ndichaipa kwauri.”

Arise, walk through the land in its length and in its breadth; for I will give it to you."

18 Saka Abhurama akabvisa matende ake uye akandogara pedyo nemiti mikuru yeMamure paHebhuroni, uye akavakira Jehovha aritari ipapo.

Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to God.
