< Genesis 13 >
1 Abramu sì gòkè láti Ejibiti lọ sí ìhà gúúsù, pẹ̀lú aya rẹ̀ àti ohun gbogbo tí ó ní àti Lọti pẹ̀lú.
Therefore, Abram ascended from Egypt, he and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, toward the southern region.
2 Abramu sì ti di ọlọ́rọ̀ gidigidi; ní ẹran ọ̀sìn, ó ní fàdákà àti wúrà.
But he was very wealthy by the possession of gold and silver.
3 Láti gúúsù, ó ń lọ láti ibìkan sí ibòmíràn títí ó fi dé ilẹ̀ Beteli, ní ibi tí àgọ́ rẹ̀ ti wà ní ìṣáájú rí, lágbedeméjì Beteli àti Ai.
And he returned by the way that he came, from the meridian into Bethel, all the way to the place where before he had pitched his tent, between Bethel and Hai.
4 Ní ibi pẹpẹ tí ó ti tẹ́ síbẹ̀ ní ìṣáájú, níbẹ̀ ni Abramu sì ń ké pe orúkọ Olúwa.
There, at the place of the altar he had made before, he again called upon the name of the Lord.
5 Àti Lọti pẹ̀lú, tí ó ń bá Abramu rìn kiri, ní agbo ẹran, ọ̀wọ́ ẹran àti àgọ́.
But Lot also, who was with Abram, had flocks of sheep, and cattle, and tents.
6 Ṣùgbọ́n ilẹ̀ náà kò le gbà wọ́n tí wọ́n bá ń gbé pọ̀, nítorí, ohun ìní wọn pọ̀ tó bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́ẹ́, dé bi wí pé wọn kò le è gbé pọ̀.
Neither was the land able to contain them, so that they might dwell together. Indeed, their substance was so great that they could not live in common.
7 Èdè-àìyedè sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ láàrín àwọn darandaran Abramu àti ti Lọti. Àwọn ará Kenaani àti àwọn ará Peresi sì ń gbé ní ilẹ̀ náà nígbà náà.
And then there also arose a conflict between the shepherds of Abram and of Lot. Now at that time the Canaanite and the Perizzite lived in that land.
8 Abramu sì wí fún Lọti pé, “Èmi bẹ̀ ọ́, má ṣe jẹ́ kí èdè-àìyedè kí ó wà láàrín èmi àti ìrẹ, àti láàrín àwọn darandaran wa, nítorí pé ẹbí kan ni àwa ṣe.
Therefore, Abram said to Lot: “I ask you, let there be no quarrel between me and you, and between my shepherds and your shepherds. For we are brothers.
9 Gbogbo ilẹ̀ ha kọ́ nìyí níwájú rẹ? Jẹ́ kí a pínyà. Bí ìwọ bá lọ sí apá ọ̀tún, èmi yóò lọ sí apá òsì, bí ó sì ṣe òsì ni ìwọ lọ, èmi yóò lọ sí apá ọ̀tún.”
Behold, the entire land is before your eyes. Withdraw from me, I beg you. If you will go to the left, I will take the right. If you choose the right, I will pass to the left.”
10 Lọti sì gbójú sókè, ó sì ri wí pé gbogbo pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ Jordani ni omi rin dáradára bí ọgbà Olúwa, bí ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, ní ọ̀nà Soari. (Èyí ní ìṣáájú kí Olúwa tó pa Sodomu àti Gomorra run.)
And so Lot, lifting up his eyes, saw all the region around the Jordan, which was thoroughly irrigated, before the Lord overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. It was like the Paradise of the Lord, and it was like Egypt, approaching toward Zoar.
11 Nítorí náà Lọti yan gbogbo pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ Jordani yìí fún ara rẹ̀, ó sì ń lọ sí ọ̀nà ìlà-oòrùn. Òun àti Abramu sì pínyà.
And Lot chose for himself the region around the Jordan, and he withdrew by way of the east. And they were divided, one brother from the other.
12 Abramu ń gbé ni ilẹ̀ Kenaani, Lọti sì jókòó ní ìlú agbègbè àfonífojì náà, ó sì pàgọ́ rẹ̀ títí dé Sodomu.
Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan. In truth, Lot stayed in the towns that were around the Jordan, and he lived in Sodom.
13 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọkùnrin Sodomu jẹ́ ènìyàn búburú, wọn sì ń dẹ́ṣẹ̀ gidigidi ni iwájú Olúwa.
But the men of Sodom were very wicked, and they were sinners before the Lord beyond measure.
14 Olúwa sì wí fún Abramu lẹ́yìn ìpinyà òun àti Lọti pé, “Gbé ojú rẹ sókè nísinsin yìí, kí o sì wò láti ibi tí o gbé wà a nì lọ sí ìhà àríwá àti sí ìhà gúúsù, sí ìlà-oòrùn àti sí ìwọ̀ rẹ̀.
And the Lord said to Abram, after Lot was divided from him: “Lift up your eyes, and gaze out from the place where you are now, to the north and to the meridian, to the east and to the west.
15 Gbogbo ilẹ̀ tí ìwọ ń wò o nì ni èmi ó fi fún ọ àti irú-ọmọ rẹ láéláé.
All the land that you see, I will give to you, and to your offspring even forever.
16 Èmi yóò mú kí irú-ọmọ rẹ kí ó pọ̀ bí erùpẹ̀ ilẹ̀, tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ó bá ṣe pé ẹnikẹ́ni bá le è ka erùpẹ̀ ilẹ̀, nígbà náà ni yóò tó lè ka irú-ọmọ rẹ.
And I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth. If any man is able to number the dust of the earth, he will be able to number your offspring as well.
17 Dìde, rìn òró àti ìbú ilẹ̀ náà já, nítorí ìwọ ni Èmi yóò fi fún.”
Arise and walk through the land in its length, and breadth. For I will give it to you.”
18 Nígbà náà ni Abramu kó àgọ́ rẹ̀, ó sì wá, ó sì jókòó ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ igi ńlá igbó Mamre, tí ó wà ní Hebroni. Níbẹ̀ ni ó gbé tẹ́ pẹpẹ kan sí fún Olúwa.
Therefore, moving his tent, Abram went and dwelt by the steep valley of Mamre, which is in Hebron. And he built an altar there to the Lord.
