Genesisi 13

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

So Abram went up from Egypt and went into the Negev, he, his wife, and all that he had. Lot also went with them.

2 Abhurama akanga apfuma kwazvo pamombe nesirivha uye negoridhe.

Now Abram was very rich in animals, in silver, and in gold.

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

He continued on his journey from the Negev to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been before, between Bethel and Ai.

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

He went to the place where the altar was that he had built previously. Here he called on the name of Yahweh.

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

Now Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had 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.

The land was not able to support them both living close together, because their possessions were very many, so that they could not stay together.

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

Also, there was a dispute between the herdsmen of Abram's animals and the herdsmen of Lot's animals. The Canaanites and the Perizzites were 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, “Let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen; after all, we are family.

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

Is not the whole land before you? Go ahead and separate yourself from me. If you go to the left, then I will go to the right. Or if you go to the right, 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.)

So Lot looked around, and saw that the whole plain of the Jordan was well watered everywhere all the way to Zoar, like the garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt. This was before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.

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

So Lot chose for himself all the plain of the Jordan and traveled east, and the relatives 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 among the cities of the plain. He set up his tents as far away as Sodom.

13 Zvino varume veSodhomu vakanga vakaipa uye vaitadzira Jehovha kwazvo.

Now the men of Sodom were very wicked sinners against Yahweh.

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

Yahweh said to Abram after Lot had departed from him, “Look from the place where you are standing to the north, south, east, and west.

15 Nyika yose yauri kuona ndichakupa iwe navana vako nokusingaperi.

All this land which you see, I will give to you and to your descendants 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 descendants as abundant as the dust of the earth, so that if a man could count the dust of the earth, then your descendants could also be counted.

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

Arise, walk through the length and breadth of the land, 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.

So Abram picked up his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and there built an altar to Yahweh.
