Postanak 13
1 Iz Egipta Abram ode gore u Negeb sa svojom ženom i sa svime što je imao. I Lot bješe s njim.
Therefore, Abram ascended from Egypt, he and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, toward the southern region.
2 Abram je bio veoma bogat stokom, srebrom i zlatom.
But he was very wealthy by the possession of gold and silver.
3 Od postaje do postaje iz Negeba išao je do Betela,
And he returned by the way that he came, from the meridian into Bethel, all the way to the place where before he had pitched his tent, between Bethel and Hai.
4 do mjesta na kojem je bio postavio šator, između Betela i Aja, gdje je prije podigao žrtvenik. Tu je Abram zazivao ime Jahvino.
There, at the place of the altar he had made before, he again called upon the name of the Lord.
5 I Lot, koji iđaše s Abramom, imaše ovaca, goveda i šatora,
But Lot also, who was with Abram, had flocks of sheep, and cattle, and tents.
6 tako da ih kraj ne bi izdržavao kad bi zajedno ostali. Njihovo je blago bilo veliko, te zajedno nisu mogli boraviti.
Neither was the land able to contain them, so that they might dwell together. Indeed, their substance was so great that they could not live in common.
7 Svađa je nastajala između pastira stoke Abramove i pastira stoke Lotove. Tada su zemlju nastavali Kanaanci i Perižani.
And then there also arose a conflict between the shepherds of Abram and of Lot. Now at that time the Canaanite and the Perizzite lived in that land.
8 Zato Abram reče Lotu: “Neka ne bude svađe između mene i tebe, između pastira mojih i tvojih - tÓa mi smo braća!
Therefore, Abram said to Lot: “I ask you, let there be no quarrel between me and you, and between my shepherds and your shepherds. For we are brothers.
9 Nije li sva zemlja pred tobom? Odvoji se od mene! Kreneš li ti nalijevo, ja ću nadesno; ako ćeš ti nadesno, ja ću nalijevo.”
Behold, the entire land is before your eyes. Withdraw from me, I beg you. If you will go to the left, I will take the right. If you choose the right, I will pass to the left.”
10 Lot podiže oči i vidje kako je dobro posvuda natapana sva Jordanska dolina, kao kakav vrt Jahvin, kao zemlja egipatska prema Soaru. - Bilo je to prije nego što je Jahve uništio Sodomu i Gomoru. -
And so Lot, lifting up his eyes, saw all the region around the Jordan, which was thoroughly irrigated, before the Lord overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. It was like the Paradise of the Lord, and it was like Egypt, approaching toward Zoar.
11 Lot izabere za se svu Jordansku dolinu i ode na istok. Tako se odijele jedan od drugoga.
And Lot chose for himself the region around the Jordan, and he withdrew by way of the east. And they were divided, one brother from the other.
12 Abram ostade u kanaanskoj zemlji, dok je Lot živio po mjestima u dolini i razapeo svoje šatore do Sodome.
Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan. In truth, Lot stayed in the towns that were around the Jordan, and he lived in Sodom.
13 A žitelji Sodome bijahu veoma opaki, sami grešnici protiv Jahve.
But the men of Sodom were very wicked, and they were sinners before the Lord beyond measure.
14 Jahve reče Abramu, pošto se Lot od njega rastao: “Oči svoje podigni i s mjesta na kojem si pogledaj prema sjeveru, jugu, istoku i zapadu;
And the Lord said to Abram, after Lot was divided from him: “Lift up your eyes, and gaze out from the place where you are now, to the north and to the meridian, to the east and to the west.
15 jer svu zemlju što je možeš vidjeti dat ću tebi i tvome potomstvu zauvijek.
All the land that you see, I will give to you, and to your offspring even forever.
16 Potomstvo ću tvoje učiniti kao prah na zemlji. Ako tko mogne prebrojiti prah zemlje, i tvoje će potomstvo moći prebrojiti.
And I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth. If any man is able to number the dust of the earth, he will be able to number your offspring as well.
17 Na noge! Prođi zemljom uzduž i poprijeko jer ću je tebi predati.”
Arise and walk through the land in its length, and breadth. For I will give it to you.”
18 Abram digne šatore i dođe pa se naseli kod hrasta Mamre, što je u Hebronu. Ondje podigne žrtvenik Jahvi.
Therefore, moving his tent, Abram went and dwelt by the steep valley of Mamre, which is in Hebron. And he built an altar there to the Lord.
