Genesis 13
1 So Abram went up from Egypt and went into the Negev, he, his wife, and all that he had. Lot also went with them.
Iz Egipta Abram ode gore u Negeb sa svojom ženom i sa svime što je imao. I Lot bješe s njim.
2 Now Abram was very rich in animals, in silver, and in gold.
Abram je bio veoma bogat stokom, srebrom i zlatom.
3 He continued on his journey from the Negev to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been before, between Bethel and Ai.
Od postaje do postaje iz Negeba išao je do Betela,
4 He went to the place where the altar was that he had built previously. Here he called on the name of Yahweh.
do mjesta na kojem je bio postavio šator, između Betela i Aja, gdje je prije podigao žrtvenik. Tu je Abram zazivao ime Jahvino.
5 Now Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had flocks, herds, and tents.
I Lot, koji iđaše s Abramom, imaše ovaca, goveda i šatora,
6 The land was not able to support them both living close together, because their possessions were very many, so that they could not stay together.
tako da ih kraj ne bi izdržavao kad bi zajedno ostali. Njihovo je blago bilo veliko, te zajedno nisu mogli boraviti.
7 Also, there was a dispute between the herdsmen of Abram's animals and the herdsmen of Lot's animals. The Canaanites and the Perizzites were living in the land at that time.
Svađa je nastajala između pastira stoke Abramove i pastira stoke Lotove. Tada su zemlju nastavali Kanaanci i Perižani.
8 So Abram said to Lot, “Let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen; after all, we are family.
Zato Abram reče Lotu: “Neka ne bude svađe između mene i tebe, između pastira mojih i tvojih - tÓa mi smo braća!
9 Is not the whole land before you? Go ahead and separate yourself from me. If you go to the left, then I will go to the right. Or if you go to the right, then I will go to the left.”
Nije li sva zemlja pred tobom? Odvoji se od mene! Kreneš li ti nalijevo, ja ću nadesno; ako ćeš ti nadesno, ja ću nalijevo.”
10 So Lot looked around, and saw that the whole plain of the Jordan was well watered everywhere all the way to Zoar, like the garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt. This was before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.
Lot podiže oči i vidje kako je dobro posvuda natapana sva Jordanska dolina, kao kakav vrt Jahvin, kao zemlja egipatska prema Soaru. - Bilo je to prije nego što je Jahve uništio Sodomu i Gomoru. -
11 So Lot chose for himself all the plain of the Jordan and traveled east, and the relatives separated from each other.
Lot izabere za se svu Jordansku dolinu i ode na istok. Tako se odijele jedan od drugoga.
12 Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived among the cities of the plain. He set up his tents as far away as Sodom.
Abram ostade u kanaanskoj zemlji, dok je Lot živio po mjestima u dolini i razapeo svoje šatore do Sodome.
13 Now the men of Sodom were very wicked sinners against Yahweh.
A žitelji Sodome bijahu veoma opaki, sami grešnici protiv Jahve.
14 Yahweh said to Abram after Lot had departed from him, “Look from the place where you are standing to the north, south, east, and west.
Jahve reče Abramu, pošto se Lot od njega rastao: “Oči svoje podigni i s mjesta na kojem si pogledaj prema sjeveru, jugu, istoku i zapadu;
15 All this land which you see, I will give to you and to your descendants forever.
jer svu zemlju što je možeš vidjeti dat ću tebi i tvome potomstvu zauvijek.
16 I will make your descendants as abundant as the dust of the earth, so that if a man could count the dust of the earth, then your descendants could also be counted.
Potomstvo ću tvoje učiniti kao prah na zemlji. Ako tko mogne prebrojiti prah zemlje, i tvoje će potomstvo moći prebrojiti.
17 Arise, walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I will give it to you.”
Na noge! Prođi zemljom uzduž i poprijeko jer ću je tebi predati.”
18 So Abram picked up his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and there built an altar to Yahweh.
Abram digne šatore i dođe pa se naseli kod hrasta Mamre, što je u Hebronu. Ondje podigne žrtvenik Jahvi.
