< Genesis 13 >

1 Abramu sì gòkè láti Ejibiti lọ sí ìhà gúúsù, pẹ̀lú aya rẹ̀ àti ohun gbogbo tí ó ní àti Lọti pẹ̀lú.
And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the South.
2 Abramu sì ti di ọlọ́rọ̀ gidigidi; ní ẹran ọ̀sìn, ó ní fàdákà àti wúrà.
And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
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 went on his journeys from the South even to Beth-el, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beth-el and Ai;
4 Ní ibi pẹpẹ tí ó ti tẹ́ síbẹ̀ ní ìṣáájú, níbẹ̀ ni Abramu sì ń ké pe orúkọ Olúwa.
unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first; and Abram called there on the name of the LORD.
5 Àti Lọti pẹ̀lú, tí ó ń bá Abramu rìn kiri, ní agbo ẹran, ọ̀wọ́ ẹran àti àgọ́.
And Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, 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.
And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together; for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.
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 there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelt then in the 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.
And Abram said unto Lot: 'Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we are brethren.
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.”
Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me; if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou take the right hand, then I will go 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 Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou goest unto 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.
So Lot chose him all the plain of the Jordan; and Lot journeyed east; and they separated themselves the one 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, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the Plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.
13 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọkùnrin Sodomu jẹ́ ènìyàn búburú, wọn sì ń dẹ́ṣẹ̀ gidigidi ni iwájú Olúwa.
Now the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners against the LORD exceedingly.
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 unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him: 'Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art, northward and southward and eastward and westward;
15 Gbogbo ilẹ̀ tí ìwọ ń wò o nì ni èmi ó fi fún ọ àti irú-ọmọ rẹ láéláé.
for all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
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 thy seed as the dust of the earth; so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.
17 Dìde, rìn òró àti ìbú ilẹ̀ náà já, nítorí ìwọ ni Èmi yóò fi fún.”
Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for unto thee will I give it.'
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.
And Abram moved his tent, and came and dwelt by the terebinths of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD.
