< 1 Мојсијева 13 >

1 Тако отиде Аврам из Мисира горе на југ, он и жена му и све што имаше, такође и Лот с њим.
And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.
2 А беше Аврам врло богат стоком, сребром и златом.
And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
3 И иђаше својим путевима од југа све до Ветиља, до места где му прво беше шатор, између Ветиља и Гаја,
And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai;
4 До места, где пре беше начинио жртвеник; и онде призва Аврам име Господње.
Unto the place of the altar, which he had make there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.
5 А и Лот који иђаше с Аврамом имаше оваца и говеда и шатора.
And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
6 И земља не могаше их носити заједно, јер благо њихово беше велико да не могоше живети заједно,
And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.
7 И беше свађа међу пастирима Аврамове стоке и пастирима Лотове стоке. А у то време живеху Хананеји и Ферезеји у оној земљи.
And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.
8 Па Аврам рече Лоту: Немој да се свађамо ја и ти, ни моји пастири и твоји пастири; јер смо браћа.
And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray you, between me and you, and between my herdmen and your herdmen; for we be brethren.
9 Није ли ти отворена цела земља? Одели се од мене. Ако ћеш ти на лево, ја ћу на десно; ако ли ћеш ти на десно ја ћу на лево.
Is not the whole land before you? separate yourself, I pray you, from me: if you will take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if you depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.
10 Тада Лот подиже очи своје и сагледа сву равницу јорданску, како целу натапаше река, беше као врт Господњи, као земља мисирска, све до Загора, пре него Господ затре Содом и Гомор.
And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as you come unto Zoar.
11 И Лот изабра себи сву равницу јорданску, и отиде Лот на исток; и разделише се један од другог:
Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.
12 Аврам живљаше у земљи хананској, а Лот живљаше по градовима у оној равници премештајући своје шаторе до Содома.
Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
13 А људи у Содому беху неваљали, и грешаху Господу веома.
But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.
14 А Господ рече Авраму, пошто се Лот одели од њега: Подигни сада очи своје, па погледај с места где си на север и на југ и на исток и на запад.
And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now your eyes, and look from the place where you are northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
15 Јер сву земљу што видиш теби ћу дати и семену твом до века.
For all the land which you see, to you will I give it, and to your seed for ever.
16 И учинићу да семена твог буде као праха на земљи; ако ко узможе избројати прах на земљи, моћи ће избројати и семе твоје.
And I will make your seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall your seed also be numbered.
17 Устани, и пролази ту земљу у дужину и у ширину; јер ћу је теби дати.
Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto you.
18 И Аврам диже шаторе, и дође и насели се у равници мамријској, која је код Хеврона, и онде начини жртвеник Господу.
Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD.
