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 goes up from Egypt (he and his wife, and all that he has, and Lot with him) toward the south;
2 Abram kaya raya; ia memiliki domba, kambing, sapi, juga perak dan emas.
and Abram [is] exceedingly wealthy in livestock, in silver, and in 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 goes on his journeys from the south, even to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the commencement, between Bethel and Hai—
4 dan mendirikan mezbah. Di situ ia menyembah TUHAN.
to the place of the altar which he made there at the first, and there Abram preaches in the Name of YHWH.
5 Lot juga mempunyai keluarga dan hamba-hamba serta domba, kambing dan sapi.
And also to Lot, who is going with Abram, there has been 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 has not permitted them to dwell together, for their substance has been much, and they have not been able to dwell 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 is a strife between those feeding Abram’s livestock and those feeding Lot’s livestock; and the Canaanite and the Perizzite [are] then dwelling in the land.
8 Abram berkata kepada Lot, "Kita ini bersaudara, tidak baik jika orang-orangmu dan orang-orangku saling bertengkar.
And Abram says to Lot, “Please let there not be strife between me and you, and between my shepherds and your shepherds, for we [are] men—brothers.
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."
Is not all the land before you? Please be parted from me; if to the left, then I to the right; and if to the right, then I 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 lifts up his eyes, and sees the whole circuit of the Jordan that it [is] all a watered country (before YHWH’s destroying Sodom and Gomorrah, as YHWH’s garden, as the land of Egypt), in your coming toward Zoar,
11 Akhirnya Lot memilih seluruh Lembah Yordan itu, lalu berangkat ke timur. Demikianlah kedua orang itu berpisah.
and Lot chooses for himself the whole circuit of the Jordan; and Lot journeys from the east, and they are parted—a man from his companion;
12 Abram tetap tinggal di tanah Kanaan, sedangkan Lot berkemah di kota-kota di lembah sampai dekat Sodom.
Abram has dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot has dwelt in the cities of the circuit, and moves [his] tent to Sodom;
13 Kota Sodom itu didiami oleh orang-orang yang sangat jahat dan berdosa terhadap TUHAN.
and the men of Sodom [are] evil, and sinners before YHWH exceedingly.
14 Setelah Lot pergi, TUHAN berkata kepada Abram, "Dari tempat engkau berdiri itu, pandanglah baik-baik ke segala arah;
And YHWH said to Abram, after Lot’s being parted from him, “Now lift up your eyes and look from the place where you [are], northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward;
15 Aku akan memberikan kepadamu dan kepada keturunanmu seluruh tanah yang engkau lihat itu supaya menjadi milikmu selama-lamanya.
for the whole of the land which you are seeing, I give it to you and to your Seed for all time.
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 have set your seed as dust of the earth, so that, if one is able to number the dust of the earth, even your seed is numbered;
17 Sekarang, jelajahilah seluruh tanah ini, sebab Aku akan memberikannya kepadamu."
rise, go up and down through the land, to its length, and to its breadth, for to you I give it.”
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 moves [his] tent, and comes, and dwells among the oaks of Mamre, which [are] in Hebron, and builds there an altar to YHWH.
