Postanak 13
1 Iz Egipta Abram ode gore u Negeb sa svojom ženom i sa svime što je imao. I Lot bješe s njim.
And Abram went up out of Egypt, he and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.
2 Abram je bio veoma bogat stokom, srebrom i zlatom.
And he was very rich in 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 south to Bethel, 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.
In the place of the altar which he had made before; and there he 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 herds of beasts, 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 bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, and they could not dwell together.
7 Svađa je nastajala između pastira stoke Abramove i pastira stoke Lotove. Tada su zemlju nastavali Kanaanci i Perižani.
Whereupon also there arose a strife between the herdsmen of Abram and of Lot. And at that time the Chanaanite and the Pherezite dwelled in that country.
8 Zato Abram reče Lotu: “Neka ne bude svađe između mene i tebe, između pastira mojih i tvojih - tÓa mi smo braća!
Abram therefore said to Lot: Let there be no quarrel, I beseech thee, between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen: for we are brethren.
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 whole land is before thee: depart from me I pray thee: if thou wilt go to the left hand, I will take the right: if thou choose the right hand, 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 Lot, lifting up his eyes, saw all the country about the Jordan, which was watered throughout, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrha, as the paradise of the Lord, and like Egypt as one comes to Segor.
11 Lot izabere za se svu Jordansku dolinu i ode na istok. Tako se odijele jedan od drugoga.
And Lot chose to himself the country about the Jordan, and he departed from the east: and they were separated 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 Chanaan; and Lot abode in the towns that were about the Jordan, and dwelt in Sodom.
13 A žitelji Sodome bijahu veoma opaki, sami grešnici protiv Jahve.
And the men of Sodom were very wicked, and sinners before the face of 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 separated from him: Lift up thy eyes, and look from the place wherein thou now art, to the north and to the south, 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 which thou seest, I will give to thee, and to thy seed for ever.
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 thy seed as the dust of the earth: if any man be able to number the dust of the earth, he shall be able to number thy seed also.
17 Na noge! Prođi zemljom uzduž i poprijeko jer ću je tebi predati.”
Arise and walk through the land in the length, and in the breadth thereof: for I will give it to thee.
18 Abram digne šatore i dođe pa se naseli kod hrasta Mamre, što je u Hebronu. Ondje podigne žrtvenik Jahvi.
So Abram removing his tent came and dwelt by the vale of Mambre, which is in Hebron: and he built there an altar to the Lord.
