1Abram went up out of Egypt: he, his wife, all that he had, and Lot with him, into the South.
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.
2Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.
2 Abram gonda alman boobo nda nzarfu nda wura.
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,
3 A tun Negeb ka tonton dirawo gaa kala Betel, naŋ kaŋ a kuuru fuwo goro za sintina, Betel da Ayi game ra,
4to the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first. There Abram called on the name of Yahweh.
4 nango kaŋ sargay feema* kaŋ a sinji waato din go. Noodin mo Abram ce Rabbi maa boŋ.
5Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
5 Lotu mo, kaŋ goono ga dira Abram banda gonda feeji kuru nda haw wane yaŋ da kuuru fuyaŋ.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
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.»
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.
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.
11So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated themselves the one from the other.
11 Lotu na Urdun batama kulu suuban nga boŋ se. Woodin banda Lotu dira ka koy wayna funay haray, i binde fay da care.
12Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.
12 Abram goro Kanaana laabo ra. Lotu mo goro batama birney ra, ka nga kuuru fuwo sinji Saduma haray.
13Now the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinners against Yahweh.
13 Amma Saduma borey ya boro laaloyaŋ no, zunubikooniyaŋ mo no gumo Rabbi jine.
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,
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.
15for all the land which you see, I will give to you, and to your offspring forever.
15 Zama laabo kaŋ ni goono ga di, ay g'a kulu no ni se da ni banda se, hal abada.
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.
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.
17Arise, walk through the land in its length and in its breadth; for I will give it to you.”
17 Tun ka dira laabo ra, a kuuyaŋo me d'a tafayyaŋo me, zama ay g'a no ni se.»
18Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to Yahweh.
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.
