¹And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, towards 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 as far as Bethel; as far as the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai;

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,

⁴to the place of the altar that he had made there at the first. And there Abram called on the name of Jehovah.

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 who 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 could not support them, that they might dwell together, for their property was great; and 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 strife between the herdsmen of Abram's cattle and the herdsmen of Lot's cattle. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite were dwelling 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 to Lot, I pray thee let there be no contention between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen, for we are 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 to the left, then I will take the right; and if to the right, then I will take 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 the Jordan that it was thoroughly watered, before Jehovah had destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah; as the garden of Jehovah, like the land of Egypt, as one goes to 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.

¹¹And Lot chose for himself all the plain of the Jordan; and Lot went toward the east. And they separated 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 dwelt in the land of Canaan; and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain, and pitched tents as far as 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.

¹³And the people of Sodom were wicked, and great sinners before Jehovah.

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

¹⁴And Jehovah said to Abram, after that Lot had separated himself 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 that thou seest will I give to thee, 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 any one can number the dust of the earth, thy seed also will 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 according to the length of it and according to the breadth of it; for I will give it to 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 moved [his] tents, and came and dwelt by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron. And he built there an altar to Jehovah.

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.
