1Abram went up out of Egypt—he, his wife, all that he had, and Lot with him—into the South.
1To pongah Abram loe a zu hoi a tawnh ih hmuennawk boih to sinh moe, Izip prae thung hoiah caeh tahang; Lot doeh anih hoi nawnto caeh.
2Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.
2To naah Abram loe pacah ih moinawk, sum kanglung, suinawk hoiah angraeng parai boeh.
3He went on his journeys from the South as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,
3Aloih bang hoiah Bethel ah caeh, tangsuek nathuem hoi a sak ih kahni im ohhaih Bethel hoi Hai salakah a caeh,
4to the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first. There Abram called on the LORD’s name.
4a sak hmaloe ih hmaicam ohhaih ahmuen to phak naah, to ahmuen ah Abram mah Angraeng ih ahmin to palawk.
5Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, herds, and tents.
5Abram hoi nawnto kacaeh Lot doeh, tuunawk, maitawnawk hoi kahni imnawk tawnh toeng.
6The land was not able to bear them, that they might live together; for their possessions were so great that they couldn’t live together.
6Nihnik nawnto khosak han long ahmuen mah khawt ai boeh; a tawnh hoi ih hmuennawk pop parai boeh pongah, nawnto om hoi thai ai boeh.
7There was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. The Canaanites and the Perizzites lived in the land at that time.
7Abram ih maitaw toep kaminawk hoi Lot ih maitaw khenzawn kaminawk to angzoeh o; to naah Kanaan kaminawk hoi Periz kaminawk loe to prae thungah oh o boeh.
8Abram said to Lot, “Please, let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen; for we are relatives.
8To pongah Abram mah Lot khaeah, Aihnik loe nawkamya ah ni a oh o; nang hoi kai salak, nang ih maitaw toep kami hoi kai ih maitaw khen kami salakah, angzoehhaih om hmah nasoe.
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.”
9Kawk parai prae na hma ah om ai maw? Kai hoi ampraek halat si; nang banqoi bangah na caeh nahaeloe, kai bantang bangah ka caeh han; nang bantang bangah na caeh nahaeloe, kai banqoi bangah ka caeh han, tiah a naa.
10Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well-watered everywhere, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as you go to Zoar.
10Lot mah khet naah, Angraeng ih takha baktih, Zoar vangpui ah na caeh naah Izip prae baktih kaom, ahmuen kruekah long kaduk Jordan azawn ah to a hnuk; to tui kahoih azawn loe Angraeng mah phraek ih Sodom hoi Gomorrah vangpui pha ai naah oh.
11So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated themselves from one another.
11Lot mah angmah hanah Jordan azawn to qoih moe, ni angyae bangah a caeh; to tiah maeto hoi maeto ampraek hoi.
12Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.
12Abram loe Kanaan prae ah oh, Lot loe azawn taengah kaom vangpuinawk ah khosak moe, Sodom vangpui taengah kahni im to a sak.
13Now the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinners against the LORD.
13Sodom vangpui ih kaminawk loe set o moe, Angraeng hmaa ah doeh pop parai zaehaih hoiah khosak o.
14The LORD 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,
14Lot mah anih caehtaak pacoengah, Angraeng mah Abram khaeah, Na ohhaih ahmuen hoi aluek, aloih, ni angyae hoi niduem bang to doeng ah;
15for I will give all the land which you see to you and to your offspring forever.
15na hnuk ih prae boih nangmah hoi na caanawk khaeah, dungzan khoek to kang paek han.
16I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if a man can count the dust of the earth, then your offspring may also be counted.
16Na caanawk to long ih maiphu zetto kang pungsak han; kami mah maiphu kroek thaih nahaeloe, na caanawk doeh kroek o thai tih.
17Arise, walk through the land in its length and in its width; for I will give it to you.”
17Angthawk loe, prae to kasawk hoi kalen boenghaih khoek to amkae boih ah; to ahmuen to nang khaeah kang paek han, tiah a naa.
18Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to the LORD.
18To pongah Abram mah kahni im to khok, Hebron ih Mamre azawn ah caeh moe, to ah khosak; to ahmuen ah Angraeng han hmaicam maeto a sak.
