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

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,

³And he went on his journeys from the South even to Beth-el, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beth-el and Ai,

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.

⁴unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of Jehovah.

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

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.

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.

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.

⁷And there was a strife between the herdsmen of Abram's cattle and the herdsmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelt then in the land.

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.

⁸And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen; for we are brethren.

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.»

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 take] the right hand, then I will go to the left.

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.

¹⁰And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the Plain of the Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before Jehovah destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of Jehovah, like the land of Egypt, as thou goest unto Zoar.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

¹⁴And Jehovah 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:

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.

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

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.

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 may thy seed also be numbered.

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.»

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

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.

¹⁸And Abram moved his tent, and came and dwelt by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built there an altar unto Jehovah.
