< Genesis 13 >

1 Abram el som liki acn Egypt nu epang, nu tafunyen eir in acn Canaan, wi mutan kial ac ma nukewa lal, ac Lot el welul pac som.
Abram went up out of Egypt: he, his wife, and all his possessions, and Lot with him, into the Negev.
2 Abram el arulana kasrup ke sheep, nani, cow, ac oayapa silver ac gold.
Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.
3 Na el som liki acn we ac fahsr tui in kais sie acn ke el fahsr in som nu Bethel. El sun acn se inmasrlon Bethel ac Ai, acn se ma el tuh aktuktuk we
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,
4 ac etoak loang se we meet. Na el alu nu sin LEUM GOD we.
to the place where he had first built the altar. And there Abram called on the name of God.
5 Oasr pac sheep, nani, ac cow natul Lot, oayapa oasr sou ac mwet kulansap lal sifacna.
Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
6 Ke ma inge acn in mongo lun kosro uh sufalla eltal in tukeni orekmakin, mweyen arulana pukanten kosro natultal.
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.
7 Ouinge oasr amei inmasrlon mwet liyaung kosro natul Abram ac mwet liyaung kosro natul Lot. (In pacl sac, mwet Canaan ac mwet Periz srakna muta fin facl sac.)
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 Na Abram el fahk nu sel Lot. “Lela nga kom in tia akukuin, oayapa mwet lom ac mwet luk in tia alein, mweyen kut sou se na.
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.
9 Yolyak facl se oan ye mutasr inge. Ke ma inge, lela kut in fahsrelik. Sulela acn ma kom lungse an, ac nga fah som nu yen lula an.”
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."
10 Lot el ngetot ngetma ac liye lah Infalfal Jordan nufon, fahla na nwe Zoar, arulana yohk kof we, oana ima lun LEUM GOD ku oana facl Egypt. (Pacl se inge ma meet liki LEUM GOD El kunausla siti Sodom ac Gomorrah.)
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.)
11 Ouinge Lot el sulela Infalfal Jordan nufon lal, ac mukuiyak som nu layen kutulap. Pa ingan luman fahsrelik lal Abram ac Lot.
So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated from each other.
12 Abram el mutana in acn Canaan, ac Lot el som oakwuki inmasrlon siti infalfal uh, ac tulokunak iwen aktuktuk sel fototo na nu Sodom,
Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.
13 yen su mwet we uh koluk ac orekma koluk lain LEUM GOD.
Now the people of Sodom were evil, sinning greatly against God.
14 Tukun Lot el som, LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Abram, “Ngetla yen se kom tu we ingan, ac liye akwoye acn nukewa — epang, eir, kutulap ac roto.
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,
15 Acn nukewa ma kom liye ingan, nga ac sot nu sum ac nu sin fwilin tulik nutum, na ac fah ma na lom nwe tok.
for all the land which you see I will give to you and to your offspring forever.
16 Nga ac fah sot tulik na pukanten nutum, su wangin mwet ac fah ku in oakla. Ac fah fisrasr in oaoala puk fin faclu liki tulik nutum!
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.
17 Inge fahsr sasla facl se inge nufon, mweyen nga ac sot lom.”
Arise, walk through the land in its length and in its breadth; for I will give it to you."
18 Ke ma inge Abram el srakla iwen aktuktuk lal ac oakiya apkuran nu ke sak oal sunal Mamre in acn Hebron, ac el etoak loang se we nu sin LEUM GOD.
Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to God.
