Бытие 13
1 Изыде же Аврам от Египта сам и жена его, и вся, елика его, и Лот с ним в пустыню.
Abram went up out of Egypt: he, his wife, and all his possessions, and Lot with him, into the Negev.
2 Аврам же бяше богат зело скоты и сребром и златом.
Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.
3 И иде отнюдуже прииде, в пустыню до Вефила, до места, идеже бе ему куща первее, между Вефилем и между Агге,
He went on his journeys from the Negev even to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,
4 на место жертвенника, идеже сотвори его первее: и призва тамо Аврам имя Господне.
to the place where he had first built the altar. And there Abram called on the name of God.
5 И Лоту ходящу со Аврамом бяху овцы, и волы, и кущы.
Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
6 И не вмещаше их земля жити вкупе, яко имения их бяху многа: и не можаху жити вкупе.
The land was not able to support them while they stayed together, for they had so many possessions that they were unable to remain together.
7 И бысть распря между пастухи скота Аврамля и между пастухи скота Лотова: Хананее же и Ферезее тогда живяху на земли (той).
There was a strife between the herdsmen of Abram's livestock and the herdsmen of Lot's livestock. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite lived in the land at that time.
8 Рече же Аврам Лоту: да не будет распря между мною и тобою, и между пастухи твоими и между пастухи моими, яко человецы братия мы есмы:
Abram said to Lot, "Please, let there be no strife between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are relatives.
9 не се ли вся земля пред тобою есть? Отлучися ты от мене: аще ты на лево, аз на десно: аще же ты на десно, аз на лево.
Isn't the whole land before you? Please separate yourself from me. If you go to the left hand, then I will go to the right. Or if you go to the right hand, then I will go to the left."
10 И возвед Лот очи свои, виде всю окрестную страну Иорданскую, яко вся напаяема бяше водою, прежде неже низвратити Богу Содом и Гоморр, яко рай Божий, и яко земля Египетска, даже приити до Зогора:
Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well-watered everywhere, like the garden of God, like the land of Egypt, in the direction of Zoar. (This was before God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)
11 и избра себе Лот всю окрестную страну Иорданскую, и отиде Лот от востока: и разлучистася кийждо от брата своего.
So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated from each other.
12 Аврам же вселися в земли Ханаанстей, Лот же вселися во граде окрестных стран и вселися в Содоме.
Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.
13 Человецы же сущии в Содоме зли и грешни пред Богом зело.
Now the people of Sodom were evil, sinning greatly against God.
14 Бог же рече Авраму, повнегда разлучитися Лоту от него: воззри очима твоима и виждь от места, идеже ты ныне еси, к северу, и ливе, и к востоку, и морю:
And God said to Abram after Lot had departed from him, "Now, lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward,
15 яко всю землю, юже ты видиши, тебе дам ю и семени твоему во веки,
for all the land which you see I will give to you and to your offspring forever.
16 и сотворю семя твое, яко песок земный: аще кто может исчести песок земный, то и семя твое изочтет:
I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if one can count the dust of the earth, then your offspring also could be counted.
17 востав проиди землю в долготу ея и в широту: яко тебе дам ю и семени твоему во век.
Arise, walk through the land in its length and in its breadth; for I will give it to you."
18 И отселився Аврам, пришед вселися у дуба Мамврийскаго, иже бяше в Хевроне: и созда ту жертвенник Господу.
Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to God.
