Genesis 13
1 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the wilderness.
अब्राम, तिनकी पत्नी र तिनीसँग भएका सबै थोक लिएर मिश्रबाट माथि नेगेवतिर गए । लोत पनि तिनीसँगै गए ।
2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, and silver, and gold.
अब्राम पशुहरू, चाँदी र सुनमा धेरै धनाढ्य थिए ।
3 And he went [to the place] whence he came, into the wilderness as far as Baethel, as far as the place where his tent was before, between Baethel and Aggai,
तिनी नेगेवबाट बेथेतिर गइरहे, जहाँ पहिले तिनको पाल थियो, त्यो बेथेल र ऐको बिचमा थियो ।
4 to the place of the altar, which he built there at first, and Abram there called on the name of the Lord.
तिनी आफूले पहिले नै बनाएका वेदी भएको ठाउँमा गए । यहाँ तिनले परमप्रभुको नाउँको पुकारा गरे ।
5 And Lot who went out with Abram had sheep, and oxen, and tents.
अब्रामसँगै यात्रा गरिरहेका लोतका पनि भेडाबाख्रा र गाईवस्तुहरूका बथान र पालहरू थिए ।
6 And the land was not large enough for them to live together, because their possessions were great; and the land was not large enough for them to live together.
तिनीहरू दुवै नजिकै रहनलाई जमिनले धान्न सकेन, किनभने तिनीहरूका सम्पत्ति अत्यधिक थियो, यसैले तिनीहरू सँगै बस्न सकेनन् ।
7 And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle, and the herdmen of Lot's cattle, and the Chananites and the Pherezites then inhabited the land.
अब्राम र लोतका गाईवस्तुहरू र भेडाबाख्राका गोठालाहरूबिच झगडा भयो । त्यस बेला त्यहाँ कनानीहरू र परिज्जीहरू बस्दथे ।
8 And Abram said to Lot, Let there not be a strife between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen, for we are brethren.
यसैले अब्रामले लोतलाई भने, “तिम्रो र मेरा गोठालाहरूबिच झगडा नहोस्, आखिर हामी त परिवार नै हौँ ।
9 Lo! is not the whole land before thee? Separate thyself from me; if thou [goest] to the left, I will go to the right, and if thou goest to the right, I will go to the left.
के सारा भूमि तिम्रो सामु नै छैन र? तिमी जाऊ र मबाट अलग होऊ । यदि तिमी बायाँतरि गयौ भने म दायाँतिर जानेछु । वा यदि तिमी दाहिनेतिर गयौ भनौ म देब्रेतिर जानेछु ।”
10 And Lot having lifted up his eyes, observed all the country round about Jordan, that it was all watered, before God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrha, as the garden of the Lord, and as the land of Egypt, until thou come to Zogora.
यसैले, लोतले वरिपरि हेरे, र यर्दनको बेँसीचाहिँ परमप्रभुको बगैँचाजस्तै, मिश्रदेशजस्तै सोअरसम्म नै सबैतिर पानीले राम्ररी भिजेको थियो । यो परमप्रभुले सदोम र गमोरा सर्वनाश गर्न अघिको कुरा थियो ।)
11 And Lot chose for himself all the country round Jordan, and Lot went from the east, and they were separated each from his brother. And Abram dwelt in the land of Chanaan.
यसैले लोतले आफ्नो निम्ति यर्दनको बेँसी चुने र पूर्वतिर लागे अनि नातेदारहरू आपसमा छुटे ।
12 And Lot dwelt in a city of the neighbouring people, and pitched his tent in Sodom.
अब्राम कनानको भूमिमा नै बसे, र लोत मैदानका सहरहरूमा बसे । तिनले आफ्ना पालहरू सदोमसम्म नै टाँगेर बसे ।
13 But the men of Sodom were evil, and exceedingly sinful before God.
सदोमका मानिसहरू परमप्रभु विरुद्धमा दुष्ट पापीहरू थिए ।
14 And God said to Abram after Lot was separated from him, Look up with thine eyes, and behold from the place where thou now art northward and southward, and eastward and seaward;
लोत तिनीबाट अलग भएपछि परमप्रभुले अब्रामलाई भन्नुभयो, “तँ उभिएको ठाउँदेखि उत्तर, दक्षिण, पूर्व र पश्चिमतिर हेर् ।
15 for all the land which thou seest, I will give it to thee and to thy seed for ever.
तैँले देखेका यी सबै भूमि, म तँलाई र तेरा सन्तानहरूलाई सदाको निम्ति दिनेछु ।
16 And I will make thy seed like the dust of the earth; if any one is able to number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed be numbered.
म तेरा सन्तानहरूलाई पृथ्वीका धुलो जत्तिकै प्रशस्त बनाउनेछु, यसैले कसैले पृथ्वीको धूलोलाई गन्न सक्छ भने मात्र तेरा सन्तानहरूलाई गन्न सक्नेछ ।
17 Arise and traverse the land, both in the length of it and in the breadth; for to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
उठ्, भूमिको चारैतिर हिँड्, किनकि यो म तँलाई दिनेछु ।”
18 And Abram having removed his tent, came and dwelt by the oak of Mambre, which was in Chebrom, and he there built an altar to the Lord.
यसैले अब्रामले आफ्नो पाल उठाए र मम्रेका फलाँटका रूखहरू नजिकै बसोबास गरे, जुन हेब्रोन थियो र त्यहाँ परमप्रभुको निम्ति एउटा वेदी निर्माण गरे ।
