Bilowgii 13

1 Aabraamna Masar wuu ka baxay, isaga, iyo naagtiisii, iyo wuxuu haystay oo dhan, Luudna wuu raacay, oo wuxuu tegey xagga koonfureed.

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 Oo Aabraam hodan buu ka ahaa xagga xoolaha iyo lacagta iyo dahabka.

Abram was very rich, having many herds of livestock and a great deal of silver and gold.

3 Xagga koonfureed ayuu ka tegey oo wuxuu u socdaalay ilaa Beytel, meeshii bilowgii ay teendhadiisu ahayd, ee u dhexaysay Beytel iyo Aacii;

He left the Negev and traveled in stages to Bethel, back to the place where he'd camped before, between Bethel and Ai.

4 ilaa meeshii allabariga oo uu horraantii halkaas ka sameeyey; oo meeshaasuu Aabraam magaca Rabbiga kaga baryootamay.

This was where he'd first built an altar. He worshiped the Lord there as he had done previously.

5 Oo Luud, oo isna Aabraam la socday, wuxuu lahaa adhi, iyo lo', iyo teendhooyin.

Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had many flocks, herds, and tents,

6 Dhulkuna ma uu qaadi karin iyagii, hadday wada degganaan lahaayeen: waayo, xoolahoodu way badnaayeen, oo sidaas daraaddeed ma ay wada degganaan karin.

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 Dirir baana ku dhex jirtay xoolojirradii Aabraam iyo xoolojirradii Luud. Markaasna reer Kancaan iyo reer Feris dhulkaasay degganaayeen.

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 Oo Aabraam wuxuu Luud ku yidhi, Waxaan kaa baryayaa inaan diriru inaga dhex dhicin aniga iyo adiga, iyo xoolojirradayda iyo xoolojirradaada; maxaa yeelay, waxaynu nahay walaalo.

So Abram said to Lot, “Please don't let's have arguments between us, or between our herdsmen, because we're family.

9 Dhulka oo dhammu sow kaa ma horreeyo? Waxaan kaa baryayaa inaad iga guurtid. Haddaad bidixda tagto, midigtaan tegayaa; haddaad midigta tagtona, bidixdaan tegayaa.

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 Kolkaasuu Luud indhihiisii kor u taagay, oo wuxuu arkay Bannaankii Webi Urdun oo dhan, iyo inay meel waluba aad u waraabsan tahay, intaan Rabbigu baabbi'in Sodom iyo Gomora; wuxuu u ekaa beertii Ilaah, iyo sida dalka Masar markaad tagto xagga Socar.

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 Markaasuu Luud wuxuu doortay Bannaankii Urdun oo dhan; oo Luud xagga bari buu u socdaalay; oo way kala guureen.

So Lot chose the whole Jordan valley and went east, and the two separated from each other.

12 Aabraam wuxuu degay dalkii Kancaan, Luudna wuxuu degay magaalooyinkii Bannaanka ku yiil, oo teendhadiisii wuxuu u wareejiyey xagga Sodom.

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 Haddaba dadkii Sodom shar miidhan bay ahaayeen, Ilaahna aad iyo aad bay ugu dembaabeen.

(The people of Sodom were very wicked, committing terrible sins that offended the Lord.)

14 Oo Rabbigu wuxuu Aabraam ku yidhi, intii Luud ka guuray ka dib, Indhahaaga kor u taag, oo meeshaad joogto ka fiiri, xagga woqooyi iyo xagga koonfureed, iyo xagga bari iyo xagga galbeedba;

After separating from Lot, the Lord told Abram, “Look around you from where you're standing, to the north, south, east, and west.

15 waayo, dhulka aad aragto oo dhan waxaan siin doonaa adiga iyo farcankaaga weligiin.

I'm giving all this land you see to you and your descendants forever.

16 Farcankaagana waxaan ka dhigi doonaa sida ciidda dhulka; haddii nin ciidda dhulka tirin karo, farcankaagana waa la tirin doonaa.

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 Bal kac oo ku dhex soco dhulka dhererkiisa iyo ballaadhkiisa; waayo, adigaan ku siin doonaa.

Go and walk through the whole land in all directions because I'm giving it to you.”

18 Oo Aabraam teendhadiisii wuu wareejiyey, oo wuxuu yimid oo degay dhirtii Mamre, ee ku tiil Xebroon, oo halkaasuu Rabbiga meel allabari uga dhisay.

So Abram went to live at Hebron, setting up his tents among the oaks at Mamre, where he built an altar to the Lord.
