Genesis 13
1 Abram went up out of Egypt: he, his wife, and all his possessions, and Lot with him, into the Negev.
Тако отиде Аврам из Мисира горе на југ, он и жена му и све што имаше, такође и Лот с њим.
2 Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.
А беше Аврам врло богат стоком, сребром и златом.
3 He went on his journeys from the Negev even to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,
И иђаше својим путевима од југа све до Ветиља, до места где му прво беше шатор, између Ветиља и Гаја,
4 to the place where he had first built the altar. And there Abram called on the name of God.
До места, где пре беше начинио жртвеник; и онде призва Аврам име Господње.
5 Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
А и Лот који иђаше с Аврамом имаше оваца и говеда и шатора.
6 The land was not able to support them while they stayed together, for they had so many possessions that they were unable to remain together.
И земља не могаше их носити заједно, јер благо њихово беше велико да не могоше живети заједно,
7 There was a strife between the herdsmen of Abram's livestock and the herdsmen of Lot's livestock. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite lived in the land at that time.
И беше свађа међу пастирима Аврамове стоке и пастирима Лотове стоке. А у то време живеху Хананеји и Ферезеји у оној земљи.
8 Abram said to Lot, "Please, let there be no strife between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are relatives.
Па Аврам рече Лоту: Немој да се свађамо ја и ти, ни моји пастири и твоји пастири; јер смо браћа.
9 Isn't the whole land before you? Please separate yourself from me. If you go to the left hand, then I will go to the right. Or if you go to the right hand, then I will go to the left."
Није ли ти отворена цела земља? Одели се од мене. Ако ћеш ти на лево, ја ћу на десно; ако ли ћеш ти на десно ја ћу на лево.
10 Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well-watered everywhere, like the garden of God, like the land of Egypt, in the direction of Zoar. (This was before God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)
Тада Лот подиже очи своје и сагледа сву равницу јорданску, како целу натапаше река, беше као врт Господњи, као земља мисирска, све до Загора, пре него Господ затре Содом и Гомор.
11 So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated from each other.
И Лот изабра себи сву равницу јорданску, и отиде Лот на исток; и разделише се један од другог:
12 Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.
Аврам живљаше у земљи хананској, а Лот живљаше по градовима у оној равници премештајући своје шаторе до Содома.
13 Now the people of Sodom were evil, sinning greatly against God.
А људи у Содому беху неваљали, и грешаху Господу веома.
14 And God said to Abram after Lot had departed from him, "Now, lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward,
А Господ рече Авраму, пошто се Лот одели од њега: Подигни сада очи своје, па погледај с места где си на север и на југ и на исток и на запад.
15 for all the land which you see I will give to you and to your offspring forever.
Јер сву земљу што видиш теби ћу дати и семену твом до века.
16 I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if one can count the dust of the earth, then your offspring also could be counted.
И учинићу да семена твог буде као праха на земљи; ако ко узможе избројати прах на земљи, моћи ће избројати и семе твоје.
17 Arise, walk through the land in its length and in its breadth; for I will give it to you."
Устани, и пролази ту земљу у дужину и у ширину; јер ћу је теби дати.
18 Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to God.
И Аврам диже шаторе, и дође и насели се у равници мамријској, која је код Хеврона, и онде начини жртвеник Господу.
