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

¹[Ny nisarahan'i Abrama sy Lota, ary ny teny fikasana nataon'Andriamanitra tamin'i Abrama] Ary Abrama dia niakatra niala tany Egypta, dia izy sy ny vadiny mbamin'ny fananany rehetra, ary Lota koa niaraka taminy, ho any amin'ny tany atsimo.

²And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.

²Ary Abrama nanana harena be, dia omby aman'ondry sy volafotsy ary volamena.

³And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai;

³Ary mbola nandeha ihany izy ka nifindrafindra hatrany amin'ny tany atsimo ka hatrany Betela, izay niorenan'ny lainy tamin'ny voalohany, teo anelanelan'i Betela sy Ay,

⁴Unto the place of the altar, which he had make there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.

⁴dia teo amin'ny tany izay nisy ilay alitara nataony tamin'ny voalohany; ary dia niantso ny anaran'i Jehovah teo Abrama.

⁵And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.

⁵Ary Lota koa, izay niara-nandeha tamin'i Abrama, dia mba nanana ondry sy omby sy lay.

⁶And 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.

⁶Ary tsy omby azy roa lahy ny tany hiraisany monina; fa efa be ny fananany, ka tsy nahazo niray monina izy.

⁷And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.

⁷Dia niady ny mpiandry ombin'i Abrama sy ny mpiandry ombin'i Lota; ary ny Kana­nita sy ny Perizita no tompon-tany tao Kanana fahizay.

⁸And 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 be brethren.

⁸Ary hoy Abrama tamin'i Lota: Aoka re mba tsy hisy ady amintsika roa lahy, na amin'ny mpiandry ombiko sy ny mpiandry ombinao, fa mpirahalahy isika.

⁹Is 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 depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.

⁹Moa tsy eo anoloanao va ny tany rehetra? Masìna ianao, aoka hisaraka amiko ianao; raha hianavaratra ianao. dia hianatsimo aho; fa raha hianatsimo ianao, dia hianavaratra kosa aho.

¹⁰And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.

¹⁰Ary Lota nanopy ny masony ka nitazana ny tany rehetra teny amoron'i Jordana hatrany akaikin'i Zoara, fa azon-drano avokoa izy rehetra (talohan'ny nandravan'i Jehovah an'i Sodoma sy Gomora izany), tahaka ny sahan'i Jehovah sy tahaka ny tany Egypta.

¹¹Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.

¹¹Dia nofidin'i Lota ho azy ny tany rehetra amoron'i Jordana, ka nifindra niantsinanana izy; ka dia nisaraka izy roa lahy.

¹²Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.

¹²Ary Abrama nonina tao amin'ny tany Kanana. fa Lota kosa nonina tao an-tanàna amin'ny tany amoron'i Jordana ka nifindrafindra toby hatrany Sodoma.

¹³But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.

¹³Ary ny mponina tao Sodoma dia tena ratsy fanahy sady mpanota indrindra tamin'i Jehovah.

¹⁴And 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:

¹⁴Ary Jehovah niteny tamin'i Abrama taorian'ny nisarahan'i Lota taminy ka nanao hoe: Atopazy ny masonao, ka hatramin'ity tany itoeranao ity dia mitazana mianavaratra sy mianatsimo ary miantsinanana sy miankandrefana;

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

¹⁵fa ny tany rehetra izay tazanao dia homeko anao sy ny taranakao mandrakizay.

¹⁶And 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.

¹⁶Ary hataoko maro tahaka ny vovo-tany ny taranakao; koa raha misy olona mahisa ny vovo-tany, dia ho azo isaina koa ny taranakao.

¹⁷Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.

¹⁷Miaingà ianao, mandehana mitety ny tany, dia any amin'ny lavany sy any amin'ny sakany; fa homeko anao izy.Ary Abrama nifindrafindra toby. dia nandeha ka nonina teo an-kazo terebintan'i Mamre, izay any Hebrona, ary nanorina alitara teo ho an'i Jehovah izy.

¹⁸Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD.

¹⁸Ary Abrama nifindrafindra toby. dia nandeha ka nonina teo an-kazo terebintan'i Mamre, izay any Hebrona, ary nanorina alitara teo ho an'i Jehovah izy.
