< تكوين 13 >

وَغَادَرَ أَبْرَامُ مِصْرَ وَتَوَجَّهَ هُوَ وَزَوْجَتُهُ وَلُوطٌ وَكُلُّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ، نَحْوَ مِنْطَقَةِ النَّقَبِ ١ 1
And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the South.
وَكَانَ أَبْرَامُ يَمْلِكُ ثَرْوَةً طَائِلَةً مِنَ الْمَوَاشِي وَالْفِضَّةِ وَالذَّهَبِ. ٢ 2
And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
وَظَلَّ يَتنَقَّلُ فِي مِنْطَقَةِ النَّقَبِ مُتَّجِهاً إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلٍ، إِلَى الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي كَانَ قَدْ نَصَبَ فِيهِ خِيَامَهُ أَوَّلاً بَيْنَ بَيْتِ إِيلٍ وَعَايَ. ٣ 3
And 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;
حَيْثُ كَانَ قَدْ شَيَّدَ الْمَذْبَحَ أَوَّلاً، وَدَعَا هُنَاكَ أَبْرَامُ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ. ٤ 4
unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.
وَكَانَ لِلُوطٍ الْمُرَافِقِ لأَبْرَامَ غَنَمٌ وَبَقَرٌ وَخِيَامٌ أَيْضاً. ٥ 5
And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
فَضَاقَتْ بِهِمَا الأَرْضُ لِكَثْرَةِ أَمْلاكِهِمَا فَلَمْ يَقْدِرَا أَنْ يَسْكُنَا مَعاً. ٦ 6
And 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.
وَنَشَبَ نِزَاعٌ بَيْنَ رُعَاةِ مَوَاشِي أَبْرَامَ وَرُعَاةِ مَوَاشِي لُوطٍ، فِي الْوَقْتِ الَّذِي كَانَ فِيهِ الْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ وَالْفِرِزِّيُّونَ يُقِيمُونَ فِي الأَرْضِ. ٧ 7
And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram’s cattle and the herdmen of Lot’s cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.
فَقَالَ أَبْرَامُ لِلُوطٍ: «لا يَكُنْ نِزَاعٌ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ، وَلا بَيْنَ رُعَاتِي وَرُعَاتِكَ لأَنَّنَا نَحْنُ أَخَوَانِ. ٨ 8
And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we are brethren.
أَلَيْسَتِ الأَرْضُ كُلُّهَا أَمَامَكَ؟ فَاعْتَزِلْ عَنِّي. إِنِ اتَّجَهْتَ شِمَالاً، أَتَّجِهْ أَنَا يَمِيناً، وَإِنْ تَحَوَّلْتَ يَمِيناً، أَتَحَوَّلْ أَنَا شِمَالاً». ٩ 9
Is 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.
وَتَلَفَّتَ لُوطٌ حَوْلَهُ فَشَاهَدَ السُّهُولَ الْمُحِيطَةَ بِنَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ وَإذَا بِها رَيَّانَةٌ كُلُّهَا، قَبْلَمَا دَمَّرَ الرَّبُّ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ، وَكَأَنَّهَا جَنَّةُ الرَّبِّ كَأَرْضِ مِصْرَ الْمُمْتَدَّةِ إِلَى صُوغَرَ. ١٠ 10
And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the Plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou goest unto Zoar.
فَاخْتَارَ لُوطٌ لِنَفْسِهِ حَوْضَ الأُرْدُنِّ كُلَّهُ وَارْتَحَلَ شَرْقاً. وَهَكَذَا اعْتَزَلَ أَحَدُهُمَا عَنِ الآخَرِ. ١١ 11
So Lot chose him all the Plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.
وَسَكَنَ أَبْرَامُ فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، وَأَقَامَ لُوطٌ فِي مُدُنِ السَّهْلِ حَيْثُ نَصَبَ خِيَامَهُ بِجُوَارِ سَدُومَ. ١٢ 12
Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the Plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.
وَكَانَ أَهْلُ سَدُومَ مُتَوَرِّطِينَ فِي الشَّرِّ وَخَاطِئِينَ جِدّاً أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ. ١٣ 13
Now the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners against the LORD exceedingly.
وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لأَبْرَامَ بَعْدَ أَنِ اعْتَزَلَ عَنْهُ لُوطٌ: «ارْفَعْ عَيْنَيْكَ وَتَلَفَّتْ حَوْلَكَ مِنَ الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي أَنْتَ فِيهِ، شِمَالاً وَجَنُوباً، شَرْقاً وَغَرْباً، ١٤ 14
And the LORD 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:
فَإِنَّ هَذِهِ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي تَرَاهَا، سَأُعْطِيهَا لَكَ وَلِذُرِّيَّتِكَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. ١٥ 15
for all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
وَسَأَجْعَلُ نَسْلَكَ كَتُرَابِ الأَرْضِ، فَإِنِ اسْتَطَاعَ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يُحْصِيَ تُرَابَ الأَرْضِ يَقْدِرُ آنَئِذٍ أَنْ يُحْصِيَ نَسْلَكَ ١٦ 16
And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.
قُمْ وَامْشِ فِي طُولِ الأَرْضِ وَعَرْضِهَا لأَنِّي لَكَ أُعْطِيهَا». ١٧ 17
Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for unto thee will I give it.
فَنَقَلَ أَبْرَامُ خِيَامَهُ ونَصَبَهَا فِي سَهْلِ مَمْرَا فِي حَبْرُونَ. وَهُنَاكَ بَنَى لِلرَّبِّ مَذْبَحاً. ١٨ 18
And Abram moved his tent, and came and dwelt by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD.
