Genesis 13
1 So Abram went up out of Egypt into the Negev—he and his wife and all his possessions—and Lot was with him.
Abram se je dvignil iz Egipta na jug, on in njegova žena in vse, kar je imel in Lot z njim.
2 And Abram had become extremely wealthy in livestock and silver and gold.
Abram je bil zelo bogat z živino, s srebrom in z zlatom.
3 From the Negev he journeyed from place to place toward Bethel, until he came to the place between Bethel and Ai where his tent had formerly been pitched,
Odšel je na svoja potovanja od juga celó do Betela, na kraj, kjer je bil od začetka njegov šotor, med Betelom in Ajem,
4 to the site where he had built the altar. And there Abram called on the name of the LORD.
na kraj z oltarjem, ki ga je tam najprej naredil in tam je Abram klical h Gospodovemu imenu.
5 Now Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents.
Tudi Lot, ki je odšel z Abramom, je imel trope, črede in šotore.
6 But the land was unable to support both of them while they stayed together, for they had so many possessions that they were unable to coexist.
Zemlja pa ju ni mogla podpirati, da bi lahko prebivala skupaj, kajti njuno imetje je bilo veliko, tako da nista mogla prebivati skupaj.
7 And there was discord between the herdsmen of Abram and the herdsmen of Lot. At that time the Canaanites and the Perizzites were also living in the land.
Bil pa je prepir med čredniki Abramove živine in čredniki Lotove živine, in takrat so v deželi prebivali Kánaanci in Perizéjci.
8 So Abram said to Lot, “Please let there be no contention between you and me, or between your herdsmen and my herdsmen. After all, we are brothers.
Abram je rekel Lotu: »Naj ne bo prepira, prosim te, med menoj in teboj in med mojimi čredniki in med tvojimi čredniki, kajti mi smo bratje.
9 Is not the whole land before you? Now separate yourself from me. If you go to the left, I will go to the right; if you go to the right, I will go to the left.”
Mar ni vsa dežela pred teboj? Prosim te, loči se od mene. Če boš vzel levico, potem bom odšel na desno, ali če ti odideš na desnico, potem bom jaz odšel na levo.«
10 And Lot looked out and saw that the whole plain of the Jordan, all the way to Zoar, was well watered like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt. (This was before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)
Lot je povzdignil svoje oči in pogledal vso jordansko ravnino, ki je bila, preden je Gospod uničil Sódomo in Gomóro, vsepovsod dobro namakana, kakor Gospodov vrt, podobna egiptovski deželi, ko prideš do Coarja.
11 So Lot chose the whole plain of the Jordan for himself and set out toward the east. And Abram and Lot parted company.
Potem si je Lot izbral vso Jordansko ravnino in Lot je odpotoval vzhodno in ločila sta se drug od drugega, eden od drugega.
12 Abram lived in the land of Canaan, but Lot settled in the cities of the plain and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
Abram je prebival v kánaanski deželi, Lot pa je prebival v mestih ravnine in svoj šotor postavljal v smeri Sódome.
13 But the men of Sodom were wicked, sinning greatly against the LORD.
Toda sódomski možje so bili zlobni in silni grešniki pred Gospodom.
14 After Lot had departed, the LORD said to Abram, “Now lift up your eyes from the place where you are, and look to the north and south and east and west,
Gospod je rekel Abramu, potem ko je bil Lot ločen od njega: »Dvigni torej svoje oči in poglej, od kraja, kjer si, proti severu, proti jugu, proti vzhodu in proti zahodu.
15 for all the land that you see, I will give to you and your offspring forever.
Kajti vso deželo, ki jo vidiš, bom dal tebi in tvojemu potomstvu na veke.
16 I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth, so that if one could count the dust of the earth, then your offspring could be counted.
Tvojega semena bom naredil kakor zemeljskega prahu, tako da če človek lahko prešteje zemeljski prah, potem bo prešteto tudi tvoje seme.
17 Get up and walk around the land, through its length and breadth, for I will give it to you.”
Vstani, prehodi deželo po njeni dolžini in po njeni širini, kajti tebi jo bom dal.«
18 So Abram moved his tent and went to live near the Oaks of Mamre at Hebron, where he built an altar to the LORD.
Potem je Abram odstranil svoj šotor in prišel ter prebival na mamrejski ravnini, ki je v Hebrónu in tam zgradil oltar Gospodu.
