Kejadian 13
1 Abram meninggalkan Mesir dan pergi ke arah utara, menuju ke bagian selatan Kanaan dengan istrinya serta segala miliknya, dan Lot ikut juga.
And Abram went up out of Egypt, he and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the wilderness.
2 Abram kaya raya; ia memiliki domba, kambing, sapi, juga perak dan emas.
And Abram was very rich in cattle, and silver, and gold.
3 Maka pergilah ia dari satu tempat ke tempat yang lain, menuju ke Betel. Ia sampai ke daerah di antara Betel dan Ai, di tempat keramat di mana ia dahulu berkemah
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,
4 dan mendirikan mezbah. Di situ ia menyembah TUHAN.
to the place of the altar, which he built there at first, and Abram there called on the name of the Lord.
5 Lot juga mempunyai keluarga dan hamba-hamba serta domba, kambing dan sapi.
And Lot who went out with Abram had sheep, and oxen, and tents.
6 Karena itu tanah di situ tidak cukup padang rumputnya untuk didiami mereka berdua, sebab ternak mereka terlalu banyak.
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.
7 Lalu terjadilah pertengkaran antara para gembala Abram dan para gembala Lot. (Pada masa itu orang Kanaan dan orang Feris masih mendiami tanah itu).
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.
8 Abram berkata kepada Lot, "Kita ini bersaudara, tidak baik jika orang-orangmu dan orang-orangku saling bertengkar.
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.
9 Sebab itu sebaiknya kita berpisah. Pilihlah bagian mana dari tanah ini yang kausukai. Jika engkau pergi ke arah ini, saya akan pergi ke arah yang lain."
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.
10 Lot memandang ke sekitarnya dan dilihatnya bahwa seluruh Lembah Yordan, sampai ke kota Zoar banyak airnya, seperti Taman TUHAN atau seperti tanah Mesir. (Begitulah keadaannya sebelum TUHAN memusnahkan kota-kota Sodom dan Gomora.)
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.
11 Akhirnya Lot memilih seluruh Lembah Yordan itu, lalu berangkat ke timur. Demikianlah kedua orang itu berpisah.
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.
12 Abram tetap tinggal di tanah Kanaan, sedangkan Lot berkemah di kota-kota di lembah sampai dekat Sodom.
And Lot lived in a city of the neighbouring people, and pitched his tent in Sodom.
13 Kota Sodom itu didiami oleh orang-orang yang sangat jahat dan berdosa terhadap TUHAN.
But the men of Sodom were evil, and exceedingly sinful before God.
14 Setelah Lot pergi, TUHAN berkata kepada Abram, "Dari tempat engkau berdiri itu, pandanglah baik-baik ke segala arah;
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;
15 Aku akan memberikan kepadamu dan kepada keturunanmu seluruh tanah yang engkau lihat itu supaya menjadi milikmu selama-lamanya.
for all the land which you see, I will give it to you and to your seed for ever.
16 Aku akan memberikan kepadamu keturunan yang sangat banyak, sehingga tak seorang pun sanggup menghitung mereka. Sebagaimana orang tak dapat menghitung debu di tanah, demikian juga keturunanmu tidak akan dapat dihitung.
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.
17 Sekarang, jelajahilah seluruh tanah ini, sebab Aku akan memberikannya kepadamu."
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.
18 Setelah itu Abram memindahkan perkemahannya lalu menetap di dekat pohon-pohon keramat tempat ibadat di Mamre dekat Hebron, dan di situ ia mendirikan mezbah bagi TUHAN.
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.
