¹ Abram binde tun Misira laabo ra ka koy Negeb* laabu, nga nda nga wando da hay kulu kaŋ go a se, da Lotu mo ngey banda.

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

² Abram gonda alman boobo nda nzarfu nda wura.

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

³ A tun Negeb ka tonton dirawo gaa kala Betel, naŋ kaŋ a kuuru fuwo goro za sintina, Betel da Ayi game ra,

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;

⁴ nango kaŋ sargay feema* kaŋ a sinji waato din go. Noodin mo Abram ce Rabbi maa boŋ.

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

⁵ Lotu mo, kaŋ goono ga dira Abram banda gonda feeji kuru nda haw wane yaŋ da kuuru fuyaŋ.

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

⁶ Amma laabo din si wasa i se i ma goro care banda, zama i arzakey ya iboobo no, hal i si hin ka goro nangu folloŋ.

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.

⁷ Kala yanje tun Abram alman hawjiyey da Lotu alman hawjiyey game ra. Jirbey din mo Kanaanancey da Perizancey goono ga goro laabo din ra.

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.

⁸ Kala Abram ne Lotu se: «Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, kakaw ma si bara in da nin game ra, wala ay hawjiyey da ni hawjiyey game ra, zama iri ya nya-izeyaŋ no.

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.

⁹ Manti laabo kulu ne ga daaru ni jine? Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, naŋ iri ma fay. Da kambe wow no ni ga sambu, ay wo, ay ga gana kambe ŋwaari haray. Da kambe ŋwaari mo no ni ga koy, ay wo ga koy kambe wow haray.»

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.

¹⁰ Kala Lotu guna nga windanta. A di Urdun* isa batama kulu. A go, nangu tayo no nango kulu, zama Rabbi mana Saduma nda Gomorata halaci jina. A ga hima Rabbi kalo cine, danga Misira laabo cine no, ka koy to Zowar haray.

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.

¹¹ Lotu na Urdun batama kulu suuban nga boŋ se. Woodin banda Lotu dira ka koy wayna funay haray, i binde fay da care.

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

¹² Abram goro Kanaana laabo ra. Lotu mo goro batama birney ra, ka nga kuuru fuwo sinji Saduma haray.

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

¹³ Amma Saduma borey ya boro laaloyaŋ no, zunubikooniyaŋ mo no gumo Rabbi jine.

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

¹⁴ Waato kaŋ Lotu dira a do, Rabbi ne Abram se: «Ma ni boŋ sambu sohõ, za nango kaŋ ni go, ka guna azawa nda dandi kambe nda wayna funay da wayna kaŋay haray.

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:

¹⁵ Zama laabo kaŋ ni goono ga di, ay g'a kulu no ni se da ni banda se, hal abada.

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

¹⁶ Ay ga ni banda ciya sanda ganda laabo cine, baayaŋ se, hal a ga ciya, da boro ga hin ka ganda laabu gurayzey kabu, kulu ni banda mo ga kabu.

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.

¹⁷ Tun ka dira laabo ra, a kuuyaŋo me d'a tafayyaŋo me, zama ay g'a no ni se.»

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

¹⁸ Saaya din ra Abram na nga kuuru fuwo dagu ka koy ka goro Mamre tuuri nyaŋey do, wo kaŋ yaŋ go Hebron haray. Noodin mo a na sargay feema fo cina Rabbi se.

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.
