Genesis 13
1 So Abram and Sarai left Egypt, and they took along all his possessions, and Lot went with them to the Negev [Desert].
Pimmanaw ngarud ni Abram iti Egipto ket napan idiay Negeb, isuna, ti asawana ken amin nga adda kenkuana. Kimmuyog met kadakuada ni Lot.
2 Abram was very rich. He owned a lot of livestock, silver and gold.
Ita, nabaknang unay ni Abram kadagiti ayup, iti pirak, ken iti balitok.
3 They continued traveling from place to place from the Negev [Desert] toward Bethel [town] to the place between Bethel and Ai where they had previously set up their tents,
Intultuloyna ti panagdaliasatna manipud Negeb agingga idiay Betel, iti lugar nga ayan idi ti toldana, iti nagbaetan ti Betel ken Ai.
4 and where Abram had made a stone altar and worshiped Yahweh.
Daytoy a lugar idi ti nangbangonanna iti altar, ken ditoy isuna nga immawag iti nagan ni Yahweh.
5 Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had flocks of sheep and goats and herds of cattle, and tents.
Ita, ni Lot, nga agdaldalliasat a kadua ni Abram ket addaan met kadagiti arban, bakbaka ken kadagiti tolda.
6 But they had so many animals that they could not all stay in the same area. There was not enough land to provide water and food for all their animals.
Saanen a makaanay ti daga a mangipaay iti pagbiaganda ta aginnasidegda a dua, gapu ta adu unay dagiti sanikuada, isu a saanda a mabalin nga agkuyog.
7 Furthermore, the descendants of Canaan and Perizzi were also living in that area, and the land really belonged to them. And the men who took care of Abram’s animals started quarreling with the men who took care of Lot’s animals.
Maysa pay, adda rimsua a panagsisinnuppiat iti nagbaetan dagiti agpaspastor kadagiti ayup ni Abram ken agpaspastor kadagiti ayup ni Lot. Iti dayta a tiempo, agnanaed iti dayta a daga dagiti Cananeo ken dagiti Perezeo.
8 So Abram said to Lot, “Since we are close relatives, it is not good for us two to quarrel, or for the men who take care of your animals to quarrel with the men who take care of my animals.
Isu a kinuna ni Abram kenni Lot, “Awan koma iti panagsinnuppiat iti nagbaetanta, ken iti nagbaetan dagiti parapastormo ken dagiti parapastorko, ta maymaysa ta laeng a pamilia.
9 There is plenty of land for both of us. So we should separate. You can choose whatever part you want [RHQ]. If you want the area over there, I will stay here. If you want the area here, I will go over there.”
Saan aya nga adda iti sangoanam ti isuamin a daga? Mapanka ket suminaka kaniak. No mapanka iti kannigid, mapanakto iti kannawan. Wenno no mapanka iti kannawan, mapanakto met iti kannigid.”
10 Lot looked around toward Zoar [town], and saw that there was plenty of water all over the plain near the Jordan [River]. It was like the park/garden in Eden, and like the land in Egypt. [That was before Yahweh destroyed [the cities of] Sodom and Gomorrah which were on that plain.]
Isu a kimmita ni Lot iti aglawlaw, ken nakitana nga iti kabuklan ti kapatadan ti Jordan ket nasayaat ti pannakapadanumna iti sadinoman agingga idiay Zoar, kas iti minuyongan ni Yahweh, kas iti daga ti Egipto. Daytoy ket sakbay a dinadael ni Yahweh ti Sodoma ken Gomorra.
11 So Lot chose the land in the plain of the Jordan [River]. He left his uncle, Abram, and moved east.
Isu a pinili ni Lot a para kenkuanna ti kapatadan ti Jordan ket nagdalliasat a napan iti daya, ket nagsina ngarud dagiti agkabagian.
12 Abram stayed in the Canaan area, and Lot started to live near the cities in the plain of the Jordan [River], and he set up his tents near Sodom [city].
Nagnaed ni Abram iti daga ti Canaan, ket nagnaed ni Lot kadagiti siudad iti kapatadan. Impatakderna dagiti toldana idiay Sodoma.
13 [You need to know that] people who lived there were extremely wicked.
Ita, nakaro unay ti kinamanagbasol dagiti lallaki iti Sodoma maibusor kenni Yahweh.
14 After Abram and Lot separated, Yahweh said to Abram, “Look around at this whole area where you are. Look north and south, look east and west.
Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Abram kalpasan a simmina ni Lot kenkuana, “Manipud iti disso a pagtaktakderam, kumitaka iti amianan, iti abagatan, iti daya, ken iti laud.
15 I will give to you and your descendants all the land that you see; I will give it to you forever.
Amin daytoy a makitkitam a daga, itedkonto kenka ken kadagiti kaputotam iti agnanayon.
16 I will cause your descendants to be as numerous as particles of dust! [It will be easier] to count the particles of dust than it will be to count your descendants [HYP].
Ket paaduekto dagiti kaputotam a kas iti kaadu ti tapuk iti daga, ket no kabaelan a bilangen iti maysa tao ti tapuk iti daga, kastanto met iti pannakabilang dagiti kaputotam.
17 Walk through the land in every direction, because I am going to give it all to you.”
Agsaganaka, pagnaem ti kaatiddog ken kaakaba ti daga, ta itedkonto daytoy kenka.
18 So Abram [and his men] took down their tents and moved to Hebron and started to live by the huge trees [at the town] Mamre. He placed a stone altar there to [make sacrifices to] Yahweh.
Isunga innala ni Abram ti toldana, ket napan nagnaed iti asideg dagiti kayo a lugo ti Mamre nga adda idiay Hebron, ket nangipatakder sadiay iti altar para kenni Yahweh.
