Pirmā Mozus 13
1 Tad Ābrams aizgāja no Ēģiptes uz (Kanaāna) dienvidus zemi, viņš ar savu sievu un ar visu, kas viņam bija, un Lats līdz ar viņu.
So Abram and Sarai left Egypt, and they took along all his possessions, and Lot went with them to the Negev [Desert].
2 Un Ābrams bija ļoti bagāts ar lopiem, ar sudrabu un ar zeltu.
Abram was very rich. He owned a lot of livestock, silver and gold.
3 Un viņš gāja savu ceļu no dienvidus zemes uz Bēteli līdz tai vietai, kur iesākumā viņa telts bija starp Bēteli un starp Aju,
They continued traveling from place to place from the Negev [Desert] toward Bethel [town] to the place between Bethel and Ai where they had previously set up their tents,
4 Līdz tā altāra vietai, ko viņš iesākumā bija cēlis; un Ābrams tur piesauca Tā Kunga vārdu.
and where Abram had made a stone altar and worshiped Yahweh.
5 Un Latam, kas Ābramam gāja līdz, bija arīdzan avis un vērši un teltis.
Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had flocks of sheep and goats and herds of cattle, and tents.
6 Un tā zeme tos nepanesa, ka varētu kopā dzīvot, jo viņu manta bija liela, un tie nevarēja kopā dzīvot.
But they had so many animals that they could not all stay in the same area. There was not enough land to provide water and food for all their animals.
7 Un strīdus cēlās starp Ābrama lopu ganiem un Lata lopu ganiem; un Kanaānieši un Ferezieši dzīvoja tolaik tai zemē.
Furthermore, the descendants of Canaan and Perizzi were also living in that area, and the land really belonged to them. And the men who took care of Abram’s animals started quarreling with the men who took care of Lot’s animals.
8 Tad Ābrams sacīja uz Latu: lūdzams, lai jel strīdus nav starp mani un tevi, un starp maniem ganiem un taviem ganiem, jo mēs esam brāļi.
So Abram said to Lot, “Since we are close relatives, it is not good for us two to quarrel, or for the men who take care of your animals to quarrel with the men who take care of my animals.
9 Vai visa zeme nav tavā priekšā? Atšķiries jel no manis; ja tu gribi pa kreiso roku, tad es gribu pa labo, bet ja tu gribi pa labo roku, tad es iešu pa kreiso.
There is plenty of land for both of us. So we should separate. You can choose whatever part you want [RHQ]. If you want the area over there, I will stay here. If you want the area here, I will go over there.”
10 Un Lats pacēla savas acis un redzēja visu Jardānes apgabalu, ka tas bija bagāts ar ūdeni, (pirms nekā Tas Kungs Sodomu un Gomoru izpostīja), tā kā Tā Kunga dārzs, itin kā Ēģiptes zeme, kamēr nāk līdz Coārai.
Lot looked around toward Zoar [town], and saw that there was plenty of water all over the plain near the Jordan [River]. It was like the park/garden in Eden, and like the land in Egypt. [That was before Yahweh destroyed [the cities of] Sodom and Gomorrah which were on that plain.]
11 Tad Lats izredzējās visu Jardānes apgabalu, un Lats aizgāja pret rītiem, un tie šķīrās viens no otra.
So Lot chose the land in the plain of the Jordan [River]. He left his uncle, Abram, and moved east.
12 Ābrams dzīvoja Kanaāna zemē, un Lats dzīvoja Jardānes apgabala pilsētās un cēla savas teltis līdz Sodomai.
Abram stayed in the Canaan area, and Lot started to live near the cities in the plain of the Jordan [River], and he set up his tents near Sodom [city].
13 Bet Sodomieši bija ļauni un ļoti grēcīgi pret To Kungu.
[You need to know that] people who lived there were extremely wicked.
14 Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Ābramu, kad Lats no viņa bija šķīries: pacel jel savas acis un lūko no tās vietas, kur tu esi, uz ziemeļa pusi un uz dienvidiem un uz rītiem un uz jūru.
After Abram and Lot separated, Yahweh said to Abram, “Look around at this whole area where you are. Look north and south, look east and west.
15 Jo visu to zemi, ko tu redzi, Es došu tev un tavam dzimumam mūžīgi.
I will give to you and your descendants all the land that you see; I will give it to you forever.
16 Un Es darīšu tavu dzimumu tā kā zemes pīšļus, ja kas varēs izskaitīt zemes pīšļus, tas varēs izskaitīt arī tavu dzimumu.
I will cause your descendants to be as numerous as particles of dust! [It will be easier] to count the particles of dust than it will be to count your descendants [HYP].
17 Celies, pārstaigā to zemi krustām šķērsām, jo tev Es to gribu dot.
Walk through the land in every direction, because I am going to give it all to you.”
18 Un Ābrams cēla teltis un nāca un dzīvoja starp Mamres ozoliem pie Hebrones, un uztaisīja tur Tam Kungam altāri.
So Abram [and his men] took down their tents and moved to Hebron and started to live by the huge trees [at the town] Mamre. He placed a stone altar there to [make sacrifices to] Yahweh.
