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.

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

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

²Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.

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,

³He went on his journeys from the South even to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,

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

⁴to the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first. There Abram called on the name of Yahweh.

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

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

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

⁶The land was not able to bear them, that they might live together: for their substance was great, so that they could not live together.

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.

⁷There 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.

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.

⁸Abram said to Lot, “Please, let there be no strife between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are relatives.

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.

⁹Isn’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.”

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.

¹⁰Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well-watered everywhere, before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt, as you go to Zoar.

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

¹¹So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated themselves the one from the other.

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.

¹²Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.

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

¹³Now the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinners against Yahweh.

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;

¹⁴Yahweh said to Abram, after Lot was separated from him, “Now, lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward,

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

¹⁵for all the land which you see, I will give to you, and to your offspring forever.

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

¹⁶I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then your seed may also be numbered.

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.

¹⁷Arise, walk through the land in its length and in its breadth; for I will give it to you.”

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.

¹⁸Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to Yahweh.
