Genesis 13

1 And Abram returned from Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.

١ وَغَادَرَ أَبْرَامُ مِصْرَ وَتَوَجَّهَ هُوَ وَزَوْجَتُهُ وَلُوطٌ وَكُلُّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ، نَحْوَ مِنْطَقَةِ النَّقَبِ

2 And Abram [was] very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.

٢ وَكَانَ أَبْرَامُ يَمْلِكُ ثَرْوَةً طَائِلَةً مِنَ الْمَوَاشِي وَالْفِضَّةِ وَالذَّهَبِ.

3 And he went on his journeys from the south even to Beth-el, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beth-el and Hai;

٣ وَظَلَّ يَتنَقَّلُ فِي مِنْطَقَةِ النَّقَبِ مُتَّجِهاً إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلٍ، إِلَى الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي كَانَ قَدْ نَصَبَ فِيهِ خِيَامَهُ أَوَّلاً بَيْنَ بَيْتِ إِيلٍ وَعَايَ.

4 To the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.

٤ حَيْثُ كَانَ قَدْ شَيَّدَ الْمَذْبَحَ أَوَّلاً، وَدَعَا هُنَاكَ أَبْرَامُ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ.

5 And Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.

٥ وَكَانَ لِلُوطٍ الْمُرَافِقِ لأَبْرَامَ غَنَمٌ وَبَقَرٌ وَخِيَامٌ أَيْضاً.

6 And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.

٦ فَضَاقَتْ بِهِمَا الأَرْضُ لِكَثْرَةِ أَمْلاكِهِمَا فَلَمْ يَقْدِرَا أَنْ يَسْكُنَا مَعاً.

7 And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelt then in the land.

٧ وَنَشَبَ نِزَاعٌ بَيْنَ رُعَاةِ مَوَاشِي أَبْرَامَ وَرُعَاةِ مَوَاشِي لُوطٍ، فِي الْوَقْتِ الَّذِي كَانَ فِيهِ الْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ وَالْفِرِزِّيُّونَ يُقِيمُونَ فِي الأَرْضِ.

8 And Abram said to Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we [are] brethren.

٨ فَقَالَ أَبْرَامُ لِلُوطٍ: «لا يَكُنْ نِزَاعٌ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ، وَلا بَيْنَ رُعَاتِي وَرُعَاتِكَ لأَنَّنَا نَحْنُ أَخَوَانِ.

9 [Is] not the whole land before thee? Separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if [thou wilt take] the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if [thou wilt depart] to the right hand, then I will go to the left.

٩ أَلَيْسَتِ الأَرْضُ كُلُّهَا أَمَامَكَ؟ فَاعْتَزِلْ عَنِّي. إِنِ اتَّجَهْتَ شِمَالاً، أَتَّجِهْ أَنَا يَمِيناً، وَإِنْ تَحَوَّلْتَ يَمِيناً، أَتَحَوَّلْ أَنَا شِمَالاً».

10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it [was] well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, [even] as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest to Zoar.

١٠ وَتَلَفَّتَ لُوطٌ حَوْلَهُ فَشَاهَدَ السُّهُولَ الْمُحِيطَةَ بِنَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ وَإذَا بِها رَيَّانَةٌ كُلُّهَا، قَبْلَمَا دَمَّرَ الرَّبُّ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ، وَكَأَنَّهَا جَنَّةُ الرَّبِّ كَأَرْضِ مِصْرَ الْمُمْتَدَّةِ إِلَى صُوغَرَ.

11 Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.

١١ فَاخْتَارَ لُوطٌ لِنَفْسِهِ حَوْضَ الأُرْدُنِّ كُلَّهُ وَارْتَحَلَ شَرْقاً. وَهَكَذَا اعْتَزَلَ أَحَدُهُمَا عَنِ الآخَرِ.

12 Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain, and pitched [his] tent towards Sodom.

١٢ وَسَكَنَ أَبْرَامُ فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، وَأَقَامَ لُوطٌ فِي مُدُنِ السَّهْلِ حَيْثُ نَصَبَ خِيَامَهُ بِجُوَارِ سَدُومَ.

13 But the men of Sodom [were] wicked, and sinners before the LORD, exceedingly.

١٣ وَكَانَ أَهْلُ سَدُومَ مُتَوَرِّطِينَ فِي الشَّرِّ وَخَاطِئِينَ جِدّاً أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ.

14 And the LORD said to Abram, after Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art, northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:

١٤ وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لأَبْرَامَ بَعْدَ أَنِ اعْتَزَلَ عَنْهُ لُوطٌ: «ارْفَعْ عَيْنَيْكَ وَتَلَفَّتْ حَوْلَكَ مِنَ الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي أَنْتَ فِيهِ، شِمَالاً وَجَنُوباً، شَرْقاً وَغَرْباً،

15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.

١٥ فَإِنَّ هَذِهِ الأَرْضَ الَّتِي تَرَاهَا، سَأُعْطِيهَا لَكَ وَلِذُرِّيَّتِكَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, [then] shall thy seed also be numbered.

١٦ وَسَأَجْعَلُ نَسْلَكَ كَتُرَابِ الأَرْضِ، فَإِنِ اسْتَطَاعَ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يُحْصِيَ تُرَابَ الأَرْضِ يَقْدِرُ آنَئِذٍ أَنْ يُحْصِيَ نَسْلَكَ

17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it to thee.

١٧ قُمْ وَامْشِ فِي طُولِ الأَرْضِ وَعَرْضِهَا لأَنِّي لَكَ أُعْطِيهَا».

18 Then Abram removed [his] tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which [is] in Hebron, and built there an altar to the LORD.

١٨ فَنَقَلَ أَبْرَامُ خِيَامَهُ ونَصَبَهَا فِي سَهْلِ مَمْرَا فِي حَبْرُونَ. وَهُنَاكَ بَنَى لِلرَّبِّ مَذْبَحاً.
