Genesis 13
1 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, towards the south.
Abram se je dvignil iz Egipta na jug, on in njegova žena in vse, kar je imel in Lot z njim.
2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
Abram je bil zelo bogat z živino, s srebrom in z zlatom.
3 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;
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 place of the altar that he had made there at the first. And there Abram called on the name of Jehovah.
na kraj z oltarjem, ki ga je tam najprej naredil in tam je Abram klical h Gospodovemu imenu.
5 And Lot also who went with Abram had flocks, and herds, and tents.
Tudi Lot, ki je odšel z Abramom, je imel trope, črede in šotore.
6 And the land could not support them, that they might dwell together, for their property was great; and they could not dwell together.
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 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.
Bil pa je prepir med čredniki Abramove živine in čredniki Lotove živine, in takrat so v deželi prebivali Kánaanci in Perizéjci.
8 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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:
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 dwelt in the land of Canaan; and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain, and pitched tents as far as Sodom.
Abram je prebival v kánaanski deželi, Lot pa je prebival v mestih ravnine in svoj šotor postavljal v smeri Sódome.
13 And the people of Sodom were wicked, and great sinners before Jehovah.
Toda sódomski možje so bili zlobni in silni grešniki pred Gospodom.
14 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;
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 thou seest will I give to thee, and to thy seed for ever.
Kajti vso deželo, ki jo vidiš, bom dal tebi in tvojemu potomstvu na veke.
16 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.
Tvojega semena bom naredil kakor zemeljskega prahu, tako da če človek lahko prešteje zemeljski prah, potem bo prešteto tudi tvoje seme.
17 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.
Vstani, prehodi deželo po njeni dolžini in po njeni širini, kajti tebi jo bom dal.«
18 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.
Potem je Abram odstranil svoj šotor in prišel ter prebival na mamrejski ravnini, ki je v Hebrónu in tam zgradil oltar Gospodu.
