Postanak 13
1 Tako otide Avram iz Misira gore na jug, on i žena mu i sve što imaše, takoðer i Lot s njim.
So Abram came up out of Egypt he and his wife and all that he had and Lot with him, towards the South.
2 A bijaše Avram vrlo bogat stokom, srebrom i zlatom.
Now, Abram, was very rich, —in cattle, in silver and in gold.
3 I iðaše svojim putovima od juga sve do Vetilja, do mjesta gdje mu prvo bijaše šator, izmeðu Vetilja i Gaja,
And he went his way, by his removals, from the South even as far as to Bethel, —as far as the place where his tent was at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai:
4 Do mjesta, gdje preðe bješe naèinio žrtvenik; i ondje prizva Avram ime Gospodnje.
unto the place of the altar, which he made there at first, —and Abram called there, on the name of Yahweh.
5 A i Lot koji iðaše s Avramom imaše ovaca i goveda i šatora.
Now, Lot also, who was going with Abram, had flocks and herds and tents.
6 I zemlja ne mogaše ih nositi zajedno, jer blago njihovo bijaše veliko da ne mogahu živjeti zajedno,
And the land suffered them not to dwell together, —because their substance had become, great, so that they could not dwell together.
7 I bijaše svaða meðu pastirima Avramove stoke i pastirima Lotove stoke. A u to vrijeme življahu Hananeji i Ferezeji u onoj zemlji.
And there arose a strife betwixt the herdmen of Abram, and the herdmen of Lot. Now the Canaanite and the Perizzite, were then dwelling in the land.
8 Pa Avram reèe Lotu: nemoj da se svaðamo ja i ti, ni moji pastiri i tvoji pastiri; jer smo braæa.
So then Abram said unto Lot Pray let not cause of strife arise betwixt me and thee, or betwixt my herdmen and thy herdmen; for brethren, are we.
9 Nije li ti otvorena cijela zemlja? Odijeli se od mene. Ako æeš ti na lijevo, ja æu na desno; ako li æeš ti na desno, ja æu na lijevo.
Is not, all the land, before thee? I pray thee, separate thyself from me, —if to the left hand, then I will go to the right, if to the right hand, then I will go to the left.
10 Tada Lot podiže oèi svoje i sagleda svu ravnicu Jordansku, kako cijelu natapaše rijeka, bješe kao vrt Gospodnji, kao zemlja Misirska, sve do Zogora, prije nego Gospod zatr Sodom i Gomor.
So Lot lifted up his eyes and beheld all the circuit of the Jordan, that the whole of it, was well-watered, —before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the Garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt, as thou enterest into Zoar.
11 I Lot izabra sebi svu ravnicu Jordansku, i otide Lot na istok; i razdijeliše se jedan od drugoga:
And Lot chose for himself all the circuit of the Jordan, so Lot brake up eastwards, —and they separated themselves, each man from his brother:
12 Avram življaše u zemlji Hananskoj, a Lot življaše po gradovima u onoj ravnici premještajuæi svoje šatore do Sodoma.
Abram, fixed his dwelling in the land of Canaan, —but, Lot, fixed his dwelling among the cities, of the circuit, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.
13 A ljudi u Sodomu bijahu nevaljali, i griješahu Gospodu veoma.
Now, the men of Sodom were base and sinful, —against Yahweh, exceedingly.
14 A Gospod reèe Avramu, pošto se Lot odijeli od njega: podigni sada oèi svoje, pa pogledaj s mjesta gdje si na sjever i na jug i na istok i na zapad.
And, Yahweh, said unto Abram after that Lot had separated himself 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 Jer svu zemlju što vidiš tebi æu dati i sjemenu tvojemu dovijeka.
for all the land which thou art beholding—to thee, will I give it, and to thy seed unto times age-abiding;
16 I uèiniæu da sjemena tvojega bude kao praha na zemlji; ako ko uzmože izbrojiti prah na zemlji, moæi æe izbrojiti i sjeme tvoje.
and I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth, —so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, thy seed also, may be numbered.
17 Ustani, i prolazi tu zemlju u dužinu i u širinu; jer æu je tebi dati.
Rise! go up and down in the land, to the length thereof and to the breadth thereof, for to thee, will I give it.
18 I Avram diže šatore, i doðe i naseli se u ravnici Mamrijskoj, koja je kod Hevrona, i ondje naèini žrtvenik Gospodu.
So Abram moved his tent and came in and dwelt among the oaks of Mamre, which were in Hebron, —and built there an altar to Yahweh.
