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 south.
अब्राम, तिनकी पत्नी र तिनीसँग भएका सबै थोक लिएर मिश्रबाट माथि नेगेवतिर गए । लोत पनि तिनीसँगै गए ।
2 And he was very rich in possession of gold and silver.
अब्राम पशुहरू, चाँदी र सुनमा धेरै धनाढ्य थिए ।
3 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:
तिनी नेगेवबाट बेथेतिर गइरहे, जहाँ पहिले तिनको पाल थियो, त्यो बेथेल र ऐको बिचमा थियो ।
4 In the place of the altar which he had made before; and there he called upon the name of the Lord.
तिनी आफूले पहिले नै बनाएका वेदी भएको ठाउँमा गए । यहाँ तिनले परमप्रभुको नाउँको पुकारा गरे ।
5 But Lot also, who was with Abram, had flocks of sheep, and herds of beasts, and tents.
अब्रामसँगै यात्रा गरिरहेका लोतका पनि भेडाबाख्रा र गाईवस्तुहरूका बथान र पालहरू थिए ।
6 Neither was the land able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, and they could not dwell together.
तिनीहरू दुवै नजिकै रहनलाई जमिनले धान्न सकेन, किनभने तिनीहरूका सम्पत्ति अत्यधिक थियो, यसैले तिनीहरू सँगै बस्न सकेनन् ।
7 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.
अब्राम र लोतका गाईवस्तुहरू र भेडाबाख्राका गोठालाहरूबिच झगडा भयो । त्यस बेला त्यहाँ कनानीहरू र परिज्जीहरू बस्दथे ।
8 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.
यसैले अब्रामले लोतलाई भने, “तिम्रो र मेरा गोठालाहरूबिच झगडा नहोस्, आखिर हामी त परिवार नै हौँ ।
9 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.
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, 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.
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 to himself the country about the Jordan, and he departed from the east: and they were separated one brother from the other.
यसैले लोतले आफ्नो निम्ति यर्दनको बेँसी चुने र पूर्वतिर लागे अनि नातेदारहरू आपसमा छुटे ।
12 Abram dwelt in the land of Chanaan; and Lot abode in the towns that were about the Jordan, and dwelt in Sodom.
अब्राम कनानको भूमिमा नै बसे, र लोत मैदानका सहरहरूमा बसे । तिनले आफ्ना पालहरू सदोमसम्म नै टाँगेर बसे ।
13 And the men of Sodom were very wicked, and sinners before the face of the Lord, beyond measure.
सदोमका मानिसहरू परमप्रभु विरुद्धमा दुष्ट पापीहरू थिए ।
14 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.
लोत तिनीबाट अलग भएपछि परमप्रभुले अब्रामलाई भन्नुभयो, “तँ उभिएको ठाउँदेखि उत्तर, दक्षिण, पूर्व र पश्चिमतिर हेर् ।
15 All the land which thou seest, I will give 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 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.
म तेरा सन्तानहरूलाई पृथ्वीका धुलो जत्तिकै प्रशस्त बनाउनेछु, यसैले कसैले पृथ्वीको धूलोलाई गन्न सक्छ भने मात्र तेरा सन्तानहरूलाई गन्न सक्नेछ ।
17 Arise and walk through the land in the length, and in the breadth thereof: for I will give it to thee.
उठ्, भूमिको चारैतिर हिँड्, किनकि यो म तँलाई दिनेछु ।”
18 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.
यसैले अब्रामले आफ्नो पाल उठाए र मम्रेका फलाँटका रूखहरू नजिकै बसोबास गरे, जुन हेब्रोन थियो र त्यहाँ परमप्रभुको निम्ति एउटा वेदी निर्माण गरे ।
