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.
So Abram went up from Egypt and went into the Negev, he, his wife, and all that he had. Lot also went with them.
2 А беше Аврам врло богат стоком, сребром и златом.
Now Abram was very rich in animals, 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,
He continued on his journey from the Negev to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been before, between Bethel and Ai.
4 До места, где пре беше начинио жртвеник; и онде призва Аврам име Господње.
He went to the place where the altar was that he had built previously. Here he called on the name of Yahweh.
5 А и Лот који иђаше с Аврамом имаше оваца и говеда и шатора.
Now Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had flocks, herds, and tents.
6 И земља не могаше их носити заједно, јер благо њихово беше велико да не могоше живети заједно,
The land was not able to support them both living close together, because their possessions were very many, so that they could not stay together.
7 И беше свађа међу пастирима Аврамове стоке и пастирима Лотове стоке. А у то време живеху Хананеји и Ферезеји у оној земљи.
Also, there was a dispute between the herdsmen of Abram's animals and the herdsmen of Lot's animals. The Canaanites and the Perizzites were living in the land at that time.
8 Па Аврам рече Лоту: Немој да се свађамо ја и ти, ни моји пастири и твоји пастири; јер смо браћа.
So Abram said to Lot, “Let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen; after all, we are family.
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? Go ahead and separate yourself from me. If you go to the left, then I will go to the right. Or if you go to the right, 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.
So Lot looked around, and saw that the whole plain of the Jordan was well watered everywhere all the way to Zoar, like the garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt. This was before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.
11 И Лот изабра себи сву равницу јорданску, и отиде Лот на исток; и разделише се један од другог:
So Lot chose for himself all the plain of the Jordan and traveled east, and the relatives separated from each other.
12 Аврам живљаше у земљи хананској, а Лот живљаше по градовима у оној равници премештајући своје шаторе до Содома.
Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived among the cities of the plain. He set up his tents as far away as Sodom.
13 А људи у Содому беху неваљали, и грешаху Господу веома.
Now the men of Sodom were very wicked sinners against Yahweh.
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.
Yahweh said to Abram after Lot had departed from him, “Look from the place where you are standing to the north, south, east, and west.
15 Јер сву земљу што видиш теби ћу дати и семену твом до века.
All this land which you see, I will give to you and to your descendants forever.
16 И учинићу да семена твог буде као праха на земљи; ако ко узможе избројати прах на земљи, моћи ће избројати и семе твоје.
I will make your descendants as abundant as the dust of the earth, so that if a man could count the dust of the earth, then your descendants could also be counted.
17 Устани, и пролази ту земљу у дужину и у ширину; јер ћу је теби дати.
Arise, walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I will give it to you.”
18 И Аврам диже шаторе, и дође и насели се у равници мамријској, која је код Хеврона, и онде начини жртвеник Господу.
So Abram picked up his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and there built an altar to Yahweh.
