उत्पत्ति 13
1 अब्राम, तिनकी पत्नी र तिनीसँग भएका सबै थोक लिएर मिश्रबाट माथि नेगेवतिर गए । लोत पनि तिनीसँगै गए ।
And Abram goeth up from Egypt (he and his wife, and all that he hath, and Lot with him) towards the south;
2 अब्राम पशुहरू, चाँदी र सुनमा धेरै धनाढ्य थिए ।
and Abram [is] exceedingly wealthy in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
3 तिनी नेगेवबाट बेथेतिर गइरहे, जहाँ पहिले तिनको पाल थियो, त्यो बेथेल र ऐको बिचमा थियो ।
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 —
4 तिनी आफूले पहिले नै बनाएका वेदी भएको ठाउँमा गए । यहाँ तिनले परमप्रभुको नाउँको पुकारा गरे ।
unto the place of the altar which he made there at the first, and there doth Abram preach in the name of Jehovah.
5 अब्रामसँगै यात्रा गरिरहेका लोतका पनि भेडाबाख्रा र गाईवस्तुहरूका बथान र पालहरू थिए ।
And also to Lot, who is going with Abram, there hath been sheep and oxen and tents;
6 तिनीहरू दुवै नजिकै रहनलाई जमिनले धान्न सकेन, किनभने तिनीहरूका सम्पत्ति अत्यधिक थियो, यसैले तिनीहरू सँगै बस्न सकेनन् ।
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;
7 अब्राम र लोतका गाईवस्तुहरू र भेडाबाख्राका गोठालाहरूबिच झगडा भयो । त्यस बेला त्यहाँ कनानीहरू र परिज्जीहरू बस्दथे ।
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.
8 यसैले अब्रामले लोतलाई भने, “तिम्रो र मेरा गोठालाहरूबिच झगडा नहोस्, आखिर हामी त परिवार नै हौँ ।
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.
9 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 ।”
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.'
10 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 ।)
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,
11 यसैले लोतले आफ्नो निम्ति यर्दनको बेँसी चुने र पूर्वतिर लागे अनि नातेदारहरू आपसमा छुटे ।
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;
12 अब्राम कनानको भूमिमा नै बसे, र लोत मैदानका सहरहरूमा बसे । तिनले आफ्ना पालहरू सदोमसम्म नै टाँगेर बसे ।
Abram hath dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot hath dwelt in the cities of the circuit, and tenteth unto Sodom;
13 सदोमका मानिसहरू परमप्रभु विरुद्धमा दुष्ट पापीहरू थिए ।
and the men of Sodom [are] evil, and sinners before Jehovah exceedingly.
14 लोत तिनीबाट अलग भएपछि परमप्रभुले अब्रामलाई भन्नुभयो, “तँ उभिएको ठाउँदेखि उत्तर, दक्षिण, पूर्व र पश्चिमतिर हेर् ।
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;
15 तैँले देखेका यी सबै भूमि, म तँलाई र तेरा सन्तानहरूलाई सदाको निम्ति दिनेछु ।
for the whole of the land which thou are seeing, to thee I give it, and to thy seed — to the age.
16 म तेरा सन्तानहरूलाई पृथ्वीका धुलो जत्तिकै प्रशस्त बनाउनेछु, यसैले कसैले पृथ्वीको धूलोलाई गन्न सक्छ भने मात्र तेरा सन्तानहरूलाई गन्न सक्नेछ ।
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;
17 उठ्, भूमिको चारैतिर हिँड्, किनकि यो म तँलाई दिनेछु ।”
rise, go up and down through the land, to its length, and to its breadth, for to thee I give it.'
18 यसैले अब्रामले आफ्नो पाल उठाए र मम्रेका फलाँटका रूखहरू नजिकै बसोबास गरे, जुन हेब्रोन थियो र त्यहाँ परमप्रभुको निम्ति एउटा वेदी निर्माण गरे ।
And Abram tenteth, and cometh, and dwelleth among the oaks of Mamre, which [are] in Hebron, and buildeth there an altar to Jehovah.
