< Genesis 13 >

1 Abram went up out of Egypt: he, his wife, and all his possessions, and Lot with him, into the Negev.
Basa ma, Abram lao hela Masir, de baliꞌ nisiꞌ rae Negeb. Neu no sao na, ma basa hata-heto na. Odꞌi na anan Lot o tungga e boe.
2 Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.
Abram ia, mamasuꞌin seli. Banda neꞌeboiꞌ, lilo mbilas ma doi fulaꞌ, nae na seli.
3 He went on his journeys from the Negev even to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,
Mia Negeb ana lao lali-laliꞌ de baliꞌ nisiꞌ kambo Betel no Ai taladꞌa na. Dalahulu na, ana leo mia naa.
4 to the place where he had first built the altar. And there Abram called on the name of God.
Ana o lutu mbatu fatu dadꞌi mei tutunu-hohotuꞌ boe. De beꞌutee neu LAMATUALAIN sia naa.
5 Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
Lot, mana tungga no Abram, naꞌena banda neꞌeboiꞌ naeꞌ, ma atahori mana tao ues o naeꞌ boe.
6 The land was not able to support them while they stayed together, for they had so many possessions that they were unable to remain together.
Te mamanaꞌ naa nda loaꞌ, soaꞌ neu Abram no Lot, no basa hata-heto nara fo rasodꞌa sa. De manatadꞌa nara rareresi, huu uru nda dai banda nara sa. (Leleꞌ naa, atahori Kanaꞌan ro atahori Feris o feꞌe leo sia naa boe.)
7 There was a strife between the herdsmen of Abram's livestock and the herdsmen of Lot's livestock. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite lived in the land at that time.
8 Abram said to Lot, "Please, let there be no strife between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are relatives.
De Abram nafadꞌe ana na nae, “Lot, e! Hita ia bobꞌonggiꞌ. Afiꞌ losa hita esa nda maloleꞌ no esa sa, huu atahori mana tao ues tara ratofa rakandooꞌ a.
9 Isn't the whole land before you? Please separate yourself from me. If you go to the left hand, then I will go to the right. Or if you go to the right hand, then I will go to the left."
Dadꞌi malole lenaꞌ ruꞌa nggita saranggaa. Mamanaꞌ ia loaꞌ, de mete ma hii mala rae seriꞌ dii, naa au isiꞌ seriꞌ ona. Mete ma hii mala seriꞌ ona, naa au isiꞌ seriꞌ dii.”
10 Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well-watered everywhere, like the garden of God, like the land of Egypt, in the direction of Zoar. (This was before God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)
Boe ma Lot mete rereoꞌ, de nita babafaꞌ loe Yordan oe na naeꞌ losa kambo Soar. Mamanaꞌ naa maꞌasufuꞌ onaꞌ LAMATUALAIN osi na, ma onaꞌ rae Masir. (Leleꞌ naa, LAMATUALAIN nda feꞌe tao nalutu kambo Sodꞌom no Gomora sa. De rae naa feꞌe maloleꞌ.)
11 So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated from each other.
Dadꞌi Lot hii nala basa rae sia babafaꞌ loe Yorden. De ruꞌa se saranggaa ma, Lot nisiꞌ seriꞌ rulu.
12 Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.
Te Abram leo nahati rae Kanaꞌan. Lot neu leo sia kambo-kamboꞌ deka Sodꞌom sia babafaꞌ Yarden.
13 Now the people of Sodom were evil, sinning greatly against God.
Atahori Sodꞌom ra, deꞌulaka nara seli ma nda nau rena LAMATUALAIN sa.
14 And God said to Abram after Lot had departed from him, "Now, lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward,
Lot no Abram saranggaa ma, LAMATUALAIN olaꞌ no Abram nae, “Abram! Sobꞌa mete rereoꞌ basa mamanaꞌ mia mamanaꞌ ho mumburiꞌ siaꞌ a. Mete malolole deaꞌ-mataꞌ ma dii-ona.
15 for all the land which you see I will give to you and to your offspring forever.
Basa rae fo mitaꞌ naa, dei fo Au fee neu nggo, mo tititi-nonosi mara, fo dadꞌi hata-heto ma losa doo na neu.
16 I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if one can count the dust of the earth, then your offspring also could be counted.
Dei fo Au fee tititi-nonosi mara ramaheta onaꞌ saraꞌaeꞌ sia tasi suu na, losa atahori nda reken rala se sa.
17 Arise, walk through the land in its length and in its breadth; for I will give it to you."
De ia naa, muu laoꞌ rereoꞌ rae a loa-naru na. Te dei fo, Au fee basa naa ra neu nggo!”
18 Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to God.
Basa ma, Abram se lali, reu leo baliꞌ sia mamanaꞌ deka hau-hau huu ineꞌ sia Mamre, deka kambo Hebron. Ana lutu mbatu mei tutunu-hohotuꞌ, de beꞌutee neu LAMATUALAIN sia naa.
