Genesis 13

1 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.

Abram kite peyi Lejip, li moute nan nò, li tounen nan rejyon Negèv la, ansanm ak madanm li avèk tout sa li genyen. Lòt, neve l' la, te avèk li tou.

2 And he was very rich in possession of gold and silver.

Abram te rich anpil, li te gen anpil mouton, anpil kabrit ak anpil bèf, li te gen anpil lajan ak anpil lò.

3 And he returned by the way that he came, from the south to Bethel, to the place where before he had pitched his tent between Bethel and Hai:

Li vwayaje toujou jouk li kite Negèv la dèyè. Bout pou bout li rive bò Betèl, kote li te moute tant li anvan an, ant lavil Betèl ak lavil Ayi.

4 In the place of the altar which he had made before; and there he called upon the name of the Lord.

Li tounen kote li te moute yon lotèl premye fwa a. Li fè sèvis pou Bondye ankò.

5 But Lot also, who was with Abram, had flocks of sheep, and herds of beasts, and tents.

Lòt menm, neve ki t'ap vwayaje ansanm avèk Abram lan, te gen mouton ak bèf pa l' tou. Li te gen moun tout avèk li.

6 Neither was the land able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, and they could not dwell together.

Peyi a te vin twò piti pou yo de a rete ansanm, paske yo te gen twòp zannimo pou bay manje.

7 Whereupon also there arose a strife between the herdsmen of Abram and of Lot. And at that time the Chanaanite and the Pherezite dwelled in that country.

Se konsa, te vin gen yon kabouyay ant gadò mouton Abram yo ak gadò mouton Lòt yo. Lè sa a, se moun Kanaran yo ak moun Ferezi yo ki te rete nan peyi a.

8 Abram therefore said to Lot: Let there be no quarrel, I beseech thee, between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen: for we are brethren.

Abram di Lòt konsa. Monchè, se fanmi nou ye. Pa gen rezon pou nou gen kont yonn ak lòt, ni pou gadò ou yo gen kont ak gadò pa m' yo.

9 Behold the whole land is before thee: depart from me I pray thee: if thou wilt go to the left hand, I will take the right: if thou choose the right hand, I will pass to the left.

Men tout peyi a devan nou! Ann separe. Si ou fè bò dwat, m'ap fè bò gòch. Si ou fè bò gòch, m'ap fè bò dwat.

10 And Lot, lifting up his eyes, saw all the country about the Jordan, which was watered throughout, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrha, as the paradise of the Lord, and like Egypt as one comes to Segor.

Lòt voye je l' toupatou, li gade plenn Jouden an byen gade. tout plenn lan, rive jouk Zoa, te wouze nèt ale. Jaden yo te tankou jaden Seyè a, tankou nan peyi Lejip. (Lè sa a, Seyè a pa t' ankò disparèt lavil Sodòm ak Gomò.)

11 And Lot chose to himself the country about the Jordan, and he departed from the east: and they were separated one brother from the other.

Lòt chwazi plenn Jouden an pou li. Li pati nan direksyon solèy leve. Se konsa de mesye yo te separe.

12 Abram dwelt in the land of Chanaan; and Lot abode in the towns that were about the Jordan, and dwelt in Sodom.

Abram rete nan peyi Kanaran. Lòt menm al moute kay li nan mitan lavil yo ki te nan plenn lan. Li moute kay li bò lavil Sodòm.

13 And the men of Sodom were very wicked, and sinners before the face of the Lord, beyond measure.

Moun Sodòm yo te move moun anpil. Yo t'ap fè anpil peche kont Seyè a.

14 And the Lord said to Abram, after Lot was separated from him: Lift up thy eyes, and look from the place wherein thou now art, to the north and to the south, to the east and to the west.

Lè Lòt fin ale, Seyè a di Abram konsa. Kanpe kote ou ye a, voye je ou toupatou, nan tout direksyon: nò, sid, lès, lwès,

15 All the land which thou seest, I will give to thee, and to thy seed for ever.

paske mwen pral ba ou tout tè ou wè a pou ou ak pou pitit pitit ou yo pou tout tan.

16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: if any man be able to number the dust of the earth, he shall be able to number thy seed also.

Mapral ba ou anpil pitit pitit. Si yon moun ka konte tout grenn pousyè ki sou latè, la rive konte pitit pitit ou yo tou.

17 Arise and walk through the land in the length, and in the breadth thereof: for I will give it to thee.

Bon. Koulye a, ou mèt pwonmennen mache nan tout peyi a, paske se ou menm mwen pral bay li.

18 So Abram removing his tent came and dwelt by the vale of Mambre, which is in Hebron: and he built there an altar to the Lord.

Se konsa, Abram ranmase tout zafè l', li vin rete bò pye bwadchenn Manmre yo, toupre Ebwon. Se la li bati yon lotèl pou Seyè a.
