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.
So for Abram frå Egyptarland upp til Sudlandet med kona si og alt det han åtte, og Lot var med honom.
2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, and silver, and gold.
Og Abram var ovleg rik, både på bufe og på sylv og på gull.
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,
Sidan for han frå Sudlandet, dagsleid etter dagsleid, til dess han kom til Betel, til den staden som han fyrr hadde havt tjeldbudi si, millom Betel og Aj,
4 to the place of the altar, which he built there at first, and Abram there called on the name of the Lord.
der det altaret stod som han hadde bygt fyrste gongen han var der. Og der kalla Abram på Herren.
5 And Lot who went out with Abram had sheep, and oxen, and tents.
Men Lot, som fylgdest med Abram, hadde og sauer og naut og tjeldbuder.
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.
Og landet kunde ikkje føda deim, når dei budde i hop; dei hadde so mykje fe at dei kunde ikkje bu saman.
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.
So vart det trætta millom deim som gjætte for Abram og deim som gjætte for Lot. Og kananitarne og perizitarne budde då der i landet.
8 And Abram said to Lot, Let there not be a strife between me and you, and between my herdmen and your herdmen, for we are brethren.
Då sagde Abram med Lot: «Kjære deg, lat det ikkje vera trætta millom meg og deg, og millom mine hyrdingar og dine. Me er då brør!
9 Behold! is not the whole land before you? Separate yourself from me; if you [go] to the left, I will go to the right, and if you go to the right, I will go to the left.
Hev du ikkje heile landet fyre deg? Skil då heller lag med meg! Tek du til vinstre, so skal eg taka til høgre, og tek du til høgre, so skal eg taka til vinstre.»
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 you come to Zogora.
Då skoda Lot ikring seg, og såg at heile Jordan-kverven, alt burtåt Soar, var rik på vatn yver alt, som Herrens hage, som Egyptarlandet - fyrr Herren lagde Sodoma og Gomorra i øyde.
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 lived in the land of Chanaan.
Og Lot valde seg ut heile Jordan-kverven. So tok Lot austigjenom, og dei skildest frå einannan:
12 And Lot lived in a city of the neighbouring people, and pitched his tent in Sodom.
Abram vart buande i Kana’ans-land, og Lot budde i byarne i Jordan-kverven, og lægra alt burtåt Sodoma.
13 But the men of Sodom were evil, and exceedingly sinful before God.
Men mennerne i Sodoma var vonde, og synda groveleg mot Herren.
14 And God said to Abram after Lot was separated from him, Look up with your eyes, and behold from the place where you now are northward and southward, and eastward and seaward;
Og Herren sagde til Abram, etter Lot hadde skilt lag med honom: «Lat upp augo dine og sjå ikring deg frå den staden du stend, nordetter og sudetter og austetter og vestetter!
15 for all the land which you see, I will give it to you and to your seed for ever.
For alt det landet du ser, vil eg gjeva deg og di ætt til æveleg tid.
16 And I will make your seed like the dust of the earth; if any one is able to number the dust of the earth, then shall your seed be numbered.
Og eg vil lata ætti di verta som dusti på jordi: kann nokon telja dusti på jordi, so kann dei og telja di ætt.
17 Arise and traverse the land, both in the length of it and in the breadth; for to you will I give it, and to your seed for ever.
Upp, og far landet igjenom, so langt og so breidt som det er! For deg vil eg gjeva det.»
18 And Abram having removed his tent, came and lived by the oak of Mambre, which was in Chebrom, and he there built an altar to the Lord.
So flutte Abram tjeldbuderne, og kom til eikelunden åt Mamre i Hebron. Der vart han buande, og bygde Herren eit altar.
