¹And Abram goeth up from Egypt (he and his wife, and all that he hath, and Lot with him) towards the south;

¹¶ Na ka haere mai a Aperama i Ihipa, ki te tonga, raua ko tana wahine, me ana mea katoa, me Rota hoki.

²and Abram [is] exceedingly wealthy in cattle, in silver, and in gold.

²He nui rawa hoki nga kararehe, te hiriwa me te koura ki a Aperama.

³And he goeth on his journeyings from the south, even unto Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the commencement, between Bethel and Hai —

³Na ka turia mai e ia, a ka haere i te tonga a tae noa ki Peteere, ki te wahi i oroko tu ai tona teneti, i waenganui o Peteere, o Hai,

⁴unto the place of the altar which he made there at the first, and there doth Abram preach in the name of Jehovah.

⁴Ki te wahi i te aata i hanga e ia ki reira i te timatanga: na ka karanga a Aperama i reira ki te ingoa o Ihowa.

⁵And also to Lot, who is going with Abram, there hath been sheep and oxen and tents;

⁵¶ Na ko Rota, i haere tahi nei i a Aperama, he hipi ano ana, he kau, he teneti.

⁶and the land hath not suffered them to dwell together, for their substance hath been much, and they have not been able to dwell together;

⁶A kihai i nui te whenua mo raua, hei nohoanga tahitanga mo raua: he nui hoki o raua rawa, te ahei raua te moho tahi.

⁷and there is a strife between those feeding Abram`s cattle and those feeding Lot`s cattle; and the Canaanite and the Perizzite [are] then dwelling in the land.

⁷Na ka tautohe ki a ratou nga hepara a Aperama me nga hepara a Rota; na i taua whenua e noho ana te Kanaani me te Perihi i taua wa.

⁸And Abram saith unto Lot, `Let there not, I pray thee, be strife between me and thee, and between my shepherds and thy shepherds, for we [are] men — brethren.

⁸Na ka mea a Aperama ki a Rota, Kaua ra taua e whakatete ki a taua, kaua hoki a taua hepara e whakatete ki a ratou; he teina nei hoki, he tuakana taua.

⁹Is not all the land before thee? be parted, I pray thee, from me; if to the left, then I to the right; and if to the right, then I to the left.`

⁹Kahore ianei te whenua katoa i tou aroaro? tena, wehe atu koe i ahau: ki te anga koe ki maui, ka ahu ahau ki matau, a ki te haere koe ki matau, na ka ahu ahau ki maui.

¹⁰And Lot lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the whole circuit of the Jordan that it [is] all a watered country (before Jehovah`s destroying Sodom and Gomorrah, as Jehovah`s garden, as the land of Egypt,) in thy coming toward Zoar,

¹⁰¶ Na ka anga ake nga kanohi o Rota, ka titiro ki te mania katoa o Horano, he makuku katoa, i te mea kahore ano kia whakangaromia noatia a Horoma, a Komora e Ihowa, he pera ano me te kari a Ihowa, me te whenua hoki o Ihipa, i tou haerenga ki Toara.

¹¹and Lot chooseth for himself the whole circuit of the Jordan; and Lot journeyeth from the east, and they are parted — a man from his companion;

¹¹Na ka whiriwhiria e Rota ko te mania katoa o Horano mana; na ka haere a Rota whaka te rawhiti: a ka wehe raua i a raua.

¹²Abram hath dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot hath dwelt in the cities of the circuit, and tenteth unto Sodom;

¹²Ko Aperama i noho kite whenua o Kanaana, ko Rota i noho ki nga pa o te mania, a whakaturia ana e ia tona teneti ki Horoma.

¹³and the men of Sodom [are] evil, and sinners before Jehovah exceedingly.

¹³Na he kino nga tangata o Horoma, he hunga hara rawa ki te aroaro o Ihowa.

¹⁴And Jehovah said unto Abram, after Lot`s being parted from him, `Lift up, I pray thee, thine eyes, and look from the place where thou [art], northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward;

¹⁴¶ Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Aperama, i muri i te wehenga atu o Rota i a ia, Anga ake ou kanohi, titiro atu hoki i te wahi e tu na koe, ki te raki, ki te tonga, ki te rawhiti, ki te hauauru:

¹⁵for the whole of the land which thou are seeing, to thee I give it, and to thy seed — to the age.

¹⁵Ko te whenua katoa hoki e kite atu na koe, ka hoatu e ahau ki a koe, ki tou uri hoki ake tonu atu.

¹⁶And I have set thy seed as dust of the earth, so that, if one is able to number the dust of the earth, even thy seed is numbered;

¹⁶Ka meinga hoki e ahau ou uri kia rite ki te puehu o te whenua: a ki te ahei i tetahi tangata te tatau i te puehu o te whenua, e taua ano hoki ou uri.

¹⁷rise, go up and down through the land, to its length, and to its breadth, for to thee I give it.`

¹⁷Whakatika, haereerea te whenua, tona roa, tona whanui; no te mea ka hoatu e ahau ki a koe.

¹⁸And Abram tenteth, and cometh, and dwelleth among the oaks of Mamre, which [are] in Hebron, and buildeth there an altar to Jehovah.

¹⁸Na nekehia ana tona teneti e Aperama, a haere ana, noho ana ki nga oki i Mamere, ki era i Heperona, a hanga ana e ia tetahi aata ma Ihowa ki reira.
