Gênesis 13

1 Abram went up out of Egypt—he, his wife, all that he had, and Lot with him—into the South. 2 Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold. 3 He 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, 4 to the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first. There Abram called on Yahweh’s name. 5 Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, herds, and tents. 6 The land was not able to bear them, that they might live together; for their possessions were so great that they couldn’t live together. 7 There 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. 8 Abram said to Lot, "Please, let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen; for we are relatives. 9 Isn’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."

10 Lot 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. 11 So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated themselves from one another. 12 Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom. 13 Now the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinners against Yahweh.

14 Yahweh 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, 15 for I will give all the land which you see to you and to your offspring forever. 16 I 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. 17 Arise, walk through the land in its length and in its width; for I will give it to you."

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

I Wehe a Rota i a Āperama

1 Nā, ka haere mai a Āperama i Īhipa ki te tonga, rāua ko tāna wahine, me āna mea katoa, me Rota hoki.

2 He nui rawa hoki ngā kararehe, te hiriwa me te kōura ki a Āperama. 3 Nā, ka tūria mai e ia, ā, ka haere i te tonga ā tae noa ki Pētēre, ki te wāhi i oroko tū ai tōna tēneti, i waenganui o Pētēre, o Hai, 4 ki te wāhi i te āta i hangā e ia ki reira i te tīmatanga. Nā, ka karanga a Āperama i reira ki te ingoa o Ihowā.

5 Nā, ko Rota, i haere tahi nei i a Āperama, he hipi anō āna, he kau, he tēneti. 6 Ā, kīhai i nui te whenua mō rāua, hei nohoanga tahitanga mō rāua. He nui hoki ō rāua rawa, tē āhei rāua te noho tahi. 7 Nā, ka tautohe ki a rātou ngā hēpara a Āperama me ngā hēpara a Rota. Nā, i taua whenua e noho ana te Kanaani me te Perihi i taua wā.

8 Nā, ka mea a Āperama ki a Rota, "Kaua rā taua e whakatete ki a tāua, kaua hoki ā tāua hēpara e whakatete ki a rātou; he tēina nei hoki, he tuākana tāua. 9 Kāhore ianei te whenua katoa i tōu aroaro? Tēnā, wehe atu koe i ahau. Ki te anga koe ki mauī, ka ahu ahau ki matau, ā, ki te haere koe ki matau, nā, ka ahu ahau ki mauī."

10 Nā, ka anga ake ngā kanohi o Rota, ka titiro ki te mānia katoa o Horano, he mākūkū katoa, i te mea kāhore anō kia whakangaromia noatia a Horoma, a Komora e Ihowā, he pērā ānō me te kāri a Ihowā, me te whenua hoki o Īhipa, i tōu haerenga ki Toara. 11 Nā, ka whiriwhiria e Rota ko te mānia katoa o Horano māna. Nā, ka haere a Rota whaka te rāwhiti, ā, ka wehe rāua i a rāua. 12 Ko Āperama i noho ki te whenua o Kanaana, ko Rota i noho ki ngā pā o te mānia, ā, whakatūria ana e ia tōna tēneti ki Horoma. 13 Nā, he kino ngā tāngata o Horoma, he hunga hara rawa ki te aroaro o Ihowā.

14 Nā, ka mea a Ihowā ki a Āperama, i muri i te wehenga atu o Rota i a ia, "Anga ake ōu kanohi, titiro atu hoki i te wāhi e tū nā koe, ki te raki, ki te tonga, ki te rāwhiti, ki te hauāuru; 15 ko te whenua katoa hoki e kite atu nā koe, ka hoatu e ahau ki a koe, ki tōu uri hoki ake tonu atu. 16 Ka meinga hoki e ahau ōu uri kia rite ki te puehu o te whenua; ā, ki te āhei i tētahi tangata te tatau i te puehu o te whenua, e taua anō hoki ōu uri. 17 Whakatika, hāereerea te whenua, tōna roa, tōna whānui; nō te mea ka hoatu e ahau ki a koe."

18 Nā, nekehia ana tōna tēneti e Āperama, ā, haere ana, noho ana ki ngā oki i Mamere, ki ērā i Heperona, ā, hangā ana e ia tētahi āta mā Ihowā ki reira.
