Genesis 13
1 And Abram goeth up from Egypt (he and his wife, and all that he hath, and Lot with him) towards the south;
अब्राम, तिनकी पत्नी र तिनीसँग भएका सबै थोक लिएर मिश्रबाट माथि नेगेवतिर गए । लोत पनि तिनीसँगै गए ।
2 and Abram [is] exceedingly wealthy in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
अब्राम पशुहरू, चाँदी र सुनमा धेरै धनाढ्य थिए ।
3 And he goeth on his journeyings from the south, even unto Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the commencement, between Bethel and Hai —
तिनी नेगेवबाट बेथेतिर गइरहे, जहाँ पहिले तिनको पाल थियो, त्यो बेथेल र ऐको बिचमा थियो ।
4 unto the place of the altar which he made there at the first, and there doth Abram preach in the name of Jehovah.
तिनी आफूले पहिले नै बनाएका वेदी भएको ठाउँमा गए । यहाँ तिनले परमप्रभुको नाउँको पुकारा गरे ।
5 And also to Lot, who is going with Abram, there hath been sheep and oxen and tents;
अब्रामसँगै यात्रा गरिरहेका लोतका पनि भेडाबाख्रा र गाईवस्तुहरूका बथान र पालहरू थिए ।
6 and the land hath not suffered them to dwell together, for their substance hath been much, and they have not been able to dwell together;
तिनीहरू दुवै नजिकै रहनलाई जमिनले धान्न सकेन, किनभने तिनीहरूका सम्पत्ति अत्यधिक थियो, यसैले तिनीहरू सँगै बस्न सकेनन् ।
7 and there is a strife between those feeding Abram's cattle and those feeding Lot's cattle; and the Canaanite and the Perizzite [are] then dwelling in the land.
अब्राम र लोतका गाईवस्तुहरू र भेडाबाख्राका गोठालाहरूबिच झगडा भयो । त्यस बेला त्यहाँ कनानीहरू र परिज्जीहरू बस्दथे ।
8 And Abram saith unto Lot, 'Let there not, I pray thee, be strife between me and thee, and between my shepherds and thy shepherds, for we [are] men — brethren.
यसैले अब्रामले लोतलाई भने, “तिम्रो र मेरा गोठालाहरूबिच झगडा नहोस्, आखिर हामी त परिवार नै हौँ ।
9 Is not all the land before thee? be parted, I pray thee, from me; if to the left, then I to the right; and if to the right, then I 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 lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the whole circuit of the Jordan that it [is] all a watered country (before Jehovah's destroying Sodom and Gomorrah, as Jehovah's garden, as the land of Egypt, ) in thy coming toward Zoar,
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 chooseth for himself the whole circuit of the Jordan; and Lot journeyeth from the east, and they are parted — a man from his companion;
यसैले लोतले आफ्नो निम्ति यर्दनको बेँसी चुने र पूर्वतिर लागे अनि नातेदारहरू आपसमा छुटे ।
12 Abram hath dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot hath dwelt in the cities of the circuit, and tenteth unto Sodom;
अब्राम कनानको भूमिमा नै बसे, र लोत मैदानका सहरहरूमा बसे । तिनले आफ्ना पालहरू सदोमसम्म नै टाँगेर बसे ।
13 and the men of Sodom [are] evil, and sinners before Jehovah exceedingly.
सदोमका मानिसहरू परमप्रभु विरुद्धमा दुष्ट पापीहरू थिए ।
14 And Jehovah said unto Abram, after Lot's being parted from him, 'Lift up, I pray thee, thine eyes, and look from the place where thou [art], northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward;
लोत तिनीबाट अलग भएपछि परमप्रभुले अब्रामलाई भन्नुभयो, “तँ उभिएको ठाउँदेखि उत्तर, दक्षिण, पूर्व र पश्चिमतिर हेर् ।
15 for the whole of the land which thou are seeing, to thee I give it, and to thy seed — to the age.
तैँले देखेका यी सबै भूमि, म तँलाई र तेरा सन्तानहरूलाई सदाको निम्ति दिनेछु ।
16 And I have set thy seed as dust of the earth, so that, if one is able to number the dust of the earth, even thy seed is numbered;
म तेरा सन्तानहरूलाई पृथ्वीका धुलो जत्तिकै प्रशस्त बनाउनेछु, यसैले कसैले पृथ्वीको धूलोलाई गन्न सक्छ भने मात्र तेरा सन्तानहरूलाई गन्न सक्नेछ ।
17 rise, go up and down through the land, to its length, and to its breadth, for to thee I give it.'
उठ्, भूमिको चारैतिर हिँड्, किनकि यो म तँलाई दिनेछु ।”
18 And Abram tenteth, and cometh, and dwelleth among the oaks of Mamre, which [are] in Hebron, and buildeth there an altar to Jehovah.
यसैले अब्रामले आफ्नो पाल उठाए र मम्रेका फलाँटका रूखहरू नजिकै बसोबास गरे, जुन हेब्रोन थियो र त्यहाँ परमप्रभुको निम्ति एउटा वेदी निर्माण गरे ।
