1 Mosebog 13
1 Og Abram drog op af Ægypten, han og hans Hustru og alt det, han havde, og Lot med ham, mod Sønden.
And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, towards the south.
2 Og Abram var meget rig paa Fæ, paa Sølv og paa Guld.
And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
3 Og han drog paa sine Rejser fra Sønden og indtil Bethel, indtil det Sted, hvor hans Telt var i Begyndelsen, imellem Bethel og imellem Ai,
And he went on his journeys from the south as far as Bethel; as far as the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai;
4 til det Alters Sted, som han havde gjort der i Førstningen; og Abram paakaldte der Herrens Navn.
to the place of the altar that he had made there at the first. And there Abram called on the name of Jehovah.
5 Men og Lot, som vandrede med Abram, havde Faar og Fæ og Telte.
And Lot also who went with Abram had flocks, and herds, and tents.
6 Og Landet kunde ikke bære dem, at de kunde bo hos hverandre; thi deres Ejendom var megen, saa de kunde ikke bo tilsammen.
And the land could not support them, that they might dwell together, for their property was great; and they could not dwell together.
7 Og der var Trætte imellem Abrams Fæhyrder og imellem Lots Fæhyrder; og der boede den Gang Kananiter og Feresiter i Landet.
And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram's cattle and the herdsmen of Lot's cattle. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite were dwelling then in the land.
8 Og Abram sagde til Lot: Kære, lad der ikke være Trætte imellem mig og imellem dig, og imellem mine Hyrder og imellem dine Hyrder; thi vi ere jo Brødre.
And Abram said to Lot, I pray thee let there be no contention between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen, for we are brethren.
9 Er ikke det ganske Land for dig? Kære, skil dig fra mig; dersom du vil til den venstre Side, da vil jeg fare til den højre, og dersom du vil til den højre, da vil jeg fare til den venstre.
Is not the whole land before thee? Separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if to the left, then I will take the right; and if to the right, then I will take the left.
10 Og Lot opløftede sine Øjne, og saa den ganske Slette ved Jordanen, thi den var vandrig overalt; førend Herren fordærvede Sodoma og Gomorra, var den som Herrens Have, som Ægyptens Land, henimod Zoar.
And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of the Jordan that it was thoroughly watered, before Jehovah had destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah; as the garden of Jehovah, like the land of Egypt, as one goes to Zoar.
11 Og Lot udvalgte sig hele Sletten ved Jordanen, og Lot drog Øster paa: den ene fra den anden.
And Lot chose for himself all the plain of the Jordan; and Lot went toward the east. And they separated the one from the other:
12 Abram boede i Kanaans Land, og Lot boede i Stæderne paa Sletten og opslog Telte indtil Sodoma.
Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan; and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain, and pitched tents as far as Sodom.
13 Og de Mænd i Sodoma vare onde, og de syndede saare mod Herren.
And the people of Sodom were wicked, and great sinners before Jehovah.
14 Og Herren sagde til Abram, efter at Lot var skilt fra ham: Kære, opløft dine Øjne; og se fra det Sted, hvor du er, mod Norden og mod Sønden og mod Østen og mod Vesten.
And Jehovah said to Abram, after that Lot had separated himself from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art, northward and southward and eastward and westward;
15 Thi alt det Land, som du ser, det vil jeg give dig og dit Afkom evindeligen.
for all the land that thou seest will I give to thee, and to thy seed for ever.
16 Og jeg vil gøre dit Afkom som Støv paa Jorden; dersom nogen kan tælle Støvet paa Jorden, da skal ogsaa dit Afkom tælles.
And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth, so that if any one can number the dust of the earth, thy seed also will be numbered.
17 Staa op, vandre igennem Landet, i dets Længde og i dets Bredde; thi dig vil jeg give det.
Arise, walk through the land according to the length of it and according to the breadth of it; for I will give it to thee.
18 Saa opslog Abram Telt og kom og boede i Mamre Lund, som er i Hebron, og byggede der Herren et Alter.
Then Abram moved [his] tents, and came and dwelt by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron. And he built there an altar to Jehovah.
