< اَلتَّكْوِينُ 13 >

فَصَعِدَ أَبْرَامُ مِنْ مِصْرَ هُوَ وَٱمْرَأَتُهُ وَكُلُّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ، وَلُوطٌ مَعَهُ إِلَى ٱلْجَنُوبِ. ١ 1
Abram went up out of Egypt—he, his wife, all that he had, and Lot with him—into the South.
وَكَانَ أَبْرَامُ غَنِيًّا جِدًّا فِي ٱلْمَوَاشِي وَٱلْفِضَّةِ وَٱلذَّهَبِ. ٢ 2
Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.
وَسَارَ فِي رِحْلَاتِهِ مِنَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ، إِلَى ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَتْ خَيْمَتُهُ فِيهِ فِي ٱلْبَدَاءَةِ، بَيْنَ بَيْتِ إِيلَ وَعَايَ، ٣ 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,
إِلَى مَكَانِ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَهُ هُنَاكَ أَوَّلًا. وَدَعَا هُنَاكَ أَبْرَامُ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٤ 4
to the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first. There Abram called on the LORD’s name.
وَلُوطٌ ٱلسَّائِرُ مَعَ أَبْرَامَ، كَانَ لَهُ أَيْضًا غَنَمٌ وَبَقَرٌ وَخِيَامٌ. ٥ 5
Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, herds, and tents.
وَلَمْ تَحْتَمِلْهُمَا ٱلْأَرْضُ أَنْ يَسْكُنَا مَعًا، إِذْ كَانَتْ أَمْلَاكُهُمَا كَثِيرَةً، فَلَمْ يَقْدِرَا أَنْ يَسْكُنَا مَعًا. ٦ 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.
فَحَدَثَتْ مُخَاصَمَةٌ بَيْنَ رُعَاةِ مَوَاشِي أَبْرَامَ وَرُعَاةِ مَوَاشِي لُوطٍ. وَكَانَ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ وَٱلْفَرِزِّيُّونَ حِينَئِذٍ سَاكِنِينَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٧ 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.
فَقَالَ أَبْرَامُ لِلُوطٍ: «لَا تَكُنْ مُخَاصَمَةٌ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ، وَبَيْنَ رُعَاتِي وَرُعَاتِكَ، لِأَنَّنَا نَحْنُ أَخَوَانِ. ٨ 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.
أَلَيْسَتْ كُلُّ ٱلْأَرْضِ أَمَامَكَ؟ ٱعْتَزِلْ عَنِّي. إِنْ ذَهَبْتَ شِمَالًا فَأَنَا يَمِينًا، وَإِنْ يَمِينًا فَأَنَا شِمَالًا». ٩ 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.”
فَرَفَعَ لُوطٌ عَيْنَيْهِ وَرَأَى كُلَّ دَائِرَةِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ أَنَّ جَمِيعَهَا سَقْيٌ، قَبْلَمَا أَخْرَبَ ٱلرَّبُّ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ، كَجَنَّةِ ٱلرَّبِّ، كَأَرْضِ مِصْرَ. حِينَمَا تَجِيءُ إِلَى صُوغَرَ. ١٠ 10
Lot 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.
فَٱخْتَارَ لُوطٌ لِنَفْسِهِ كُلَّ دَائِرَةِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، وَٱرْتَحَلَ لُوطٌ شَرْقًا. فَٱعْتَزَلَ ٱلْوَاحِدُ عَنِ ٱلْآخَرِ. ١١ 11
So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated themselves from one another.
أَبْرَامُ سَكَنَ فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، وَلُوطٌ سَكَنَ فِي مُدُنِ ٱلدَّائِرَةِ، وَنَقَلَ خِيَامَهُ إِلَى سَدُومَ. ١٢ 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.
وَكَانَ أَهْلُ سَدُومَ أَشْرَارًا وَخُطَاةً لَدَى ٱلرَّبِّ جِدًّا. ١٣ 13
Now the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinners against the LORD.
وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِأَبْرَامَ، بَعْدَ ٱعْتِزَالِ لُوطٍ عَنْهُ: «ٱرْفَعْ عَيْنَيْكَ وَٱنْظُرْ مِنَ ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي أَنْتَ فِيهِ شِمَالًا وَجَنُوبًا وَشَرْقًا وَغَرْبًا، ١٤ 14
The 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,
لِأَنَّ جَمِيعَ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتَ تَرَى لَكَ أُعْطِيهَا وَلِنَسْلِكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. ١٥ 15
for I will give all the land which you see to you and to your offspring forever.
وَأَجْعَلُ نَسْلَكَ كَتُرَابِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، حَتَّى إِذَا ٱسْتَطَاعَ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَعُدَّ تُرَابَ ٱلْأَرْضِ فَنَسْلُكَ أَيْضًا يُعَدُّ. ١٦ 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.
قُمِ ٱمْشِ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ طُولَهَا وَعَرْضَهَا، لِأَنِّي لَكَ أُعْطِيهَا». ١٧ 17
Arise, walk through the land in its length and in its width; for I will give it to you.”
فَنَقَلَ أَبْرَامُ خِيَامَهُ وَأَتَى وَأَقَامَ عِنْدَ بَلُّوطَاتِ مَمْرَا ٱلَّتِي فِي حَبْرُونَ، وَبَنَى هُنَاكَ مَذْبَحًا لِلرَّبِّ. ١٨ 18
Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to the LORD.
