Mwanzo 13
1 Kwa hiyo Abram akaondoka akatoka Misri na akaenda Negebu, Yeye, mke wake, na vyote alivyokuwa navyo. Lutu pia akaenda pamoja naye.
And he went up Abram from Egypt he and wife his and all that [belonged] to him and Lot with him the Negev towards.
2 Na sasa Abram alikuwa tajiri wa mifugo, fedha na dhahabu.
And Abram [was] wealthy very in livestock in silver and in gold.
3 Aliendelea na safari yake kutoka Negebu hadi Betheli, mahali ambapo hema yake ilikuwa tangu mwanzo, kati ya Betheli na mji wa Ai.
And he went to journeyings his from [the] Negev and to Beth-el to the place where it had been there (tent his *Q(K)*) at the beginning between Beth-el and between Ai.
4 Akaenda mahali ambapo madhabahu ilikuwa imejengwa mwanzoni. Hapa akaliitia jina la Yahwe.
To [the] place of the altar which he had made there at the former [time] and he called there Abram on [the] name of Yahweh.
5 aliyekuwa anasafiri na Abram, alikuwa pia na ngo'mbe, makundi ya mifugo, na mahema.
And also to Lot who was traveling with Abram it be[longed] sheep and cattle and tents.
6 Nchi haikuwatosha wote kukaa pamoja karibu kwa sababu mali zao zilikuwa nyingi sana, kiasi kwamba hawakuweza kukaa pamoja.
And not it supported them the land to dwell together for it was possession[s] their much and not they were able to dwell together.
7 Pia, kulikuwa na ugomvi kati ya wachunga wanyama wa Abram na wachunga wanyama wa Lutu. Wakanaani pamoja na Waperizi walikuwa wakiishi katika nchi ile wakati huo.
And it was quarreling between [the] herdsmen of [the] livestock of Abram and between [the] herdsmen of [the] livestock of Lot and the Canaanite[s] and the Perizzite[s] then [was] dwelling in the land.
8 Kwa hiyo Abram akamwambia Lutu, “Pasiwe na ugomvi kati yako na mimi, na kati ya wachunga wanyama wako na wachunga wanyama wangu; licha ya hayo sisi ni familia.
And he said Abram to Lot may not please there be strife between me and between you and between herdsmen my and between herdsmen your for [are] men brothers we.
9 Je nchi hii yote haiko mbele yako? Nenda na ujitenge na mi. Ikiwa utakwenda kushoto, mimi nitakwenda kulia. au ikiwa utakwenda kulia, mimi nitakwenda kushoto.”
¿ Not [is] all the land before you separate please from with me if the left so let me go right and if the right and I will go left.
10 Kwa hiyo Lutu akatazama, na akaona kuwa nchi yote tambarare ya Yorodani ilikuwa na maji kila mahali hadi Zoari, kama vile bustani ya Yahwe, na kama nchi ya Misri. Hii ilikuwa ni kabla Yahwe hajaiangamiza Sodoma na Gomora.
And he lifted up Lot eyes his and he saw all [the] valley of the Jordan that all of it [was] well-watered before - destroyed Yahweh Sodom and Gomorrah like [the] garden of Yahweh like [the] land of Egypt going you Zoar.
11 Kwa hiyo Lutu akajichagulia yeye mwenyewe nchi tambarare ya Yorodani na akasafiri mashariki, na ndugu hawa wakatengana wao kwa wao.
And he chose for himself Lot all [the] valley of the Jordan and he set out Lot from [the] east and they separated each from with brother his.
12 Abram akaishi katika nchi ya Kanaani, na Lutu akaishi katika miji ya tambarare. Akatandaza hema zake hadi Sodoma.
Abram he dwelt in [the] land of Canaan and Lot he dwelt in [the] cities of the valley and he moved tent to Sodom.
13 Na sasa watu wa Sodoma walikuwa waovu na wenye dhambi nyingi dhidi ya Yahwe.
And [the] people of Sodom [were] wicked and sinful to Yahweh exceedingly.
14 Yahwe akamwambia Abram baada ya Lutu kuondoka kwake, “Angalia kuanzia mahali ulipo simama hadi kaskazini, kusini, mashariki, na magharibi.
And Yahweh he said to Abram after separated Lot from with him lift up please eyes your and look from the place where you [are] there north-ward and south-ward and east-ward and west-ward.
15 Nchi yote hii uionayo, nitakupatia wewe pamoja na uzao wako milele.
For all the land which you [are] seeing to you I will give it and to offspring your until perpetuity.
16 Nitawafanya uzao wako kuwa wengi kama mavumbi ya nchi, kiasi kwamba kama kuna mtu anaweza kuhesabu mavumbi ya nchi, ndipo na uzao wako pia utahesabika.
And I will make offspring your like [the] dust of the earth which - if he will be able anyone to count [the] dust of the earth also offspring your it will numbered.
17 Inuka, tembea katika urefu na upana wa nchi hii, kwa kuwa nitakupatia.”
Arise walk about in the land to length its and to breadth its for to you I will give it.
18 Kwa hiyo Abram akachukua hema yake, akaja na kukaa katika mwaloni wa Mamre, ambao uko Hebroni, na pale akajenga Madhabahu ya Yahwe.
And he moved tent Abram and he went and he dwelt at [the] great trees of Mamre which [are] at Hebron and he built there an altar to Yahweh.
