1 Mojzes 13

1 Abram se je dvignil iz Egipta na jug, on in njegova žena in vse, kar je imel in Lot z njim.

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 Abram je bil zelo bogat z živino, s srebrom in z zlatom.

Now Abram was very rich in animals, in silver, and in gold.

3 Odšel je na svoja potovanja od juga celó do Betela, na kraj, kjer je bil od začetka njegov šotor, med Betelom in Ajem,

He continued on his journey from the Negev to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been before, between Bethel and Ai.

4 na kraj z oltarjem, ki ga je tam najprej naredil in tam je Abram klical h Gospodovemu imenu.

He went to the place where the altar was that he had built previously. Here he called on the name of Yahweh.

5 Tudi Lot, ki je odšel z Abramom, je imel trope, črede in šotore.

Now Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had flocks, herds, and tents.

6 Zemlja pa ju ni mogla podpirati, da bi lahko prebivala skupaj, kajti njuno imetje je bilo veliko, tako da nista mogla prebivati skupaj.

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 Bil pa je prepir med čredniki Abramove živine in čredniki Lotove živine, in takrat so v deželi prebivali Kánaanci in Perizéjci.

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 Abram je rekel Lotu: »Naj ne bo prepira, prosim te, med menoj in teboj in med mojimi čredniki in med tvojimi čredniki, kajti mi smo bratje.

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 Mar ni vsa dežela pred teboj? Prosim te, loči se od mene. Če boš vzel levico, potem bom odšel na desno, ali če ti odideš na desnico, potem bom jaz odšel na levo.«

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 Lot je povzdignil svoje oči in pogledal vso jordansko ravnino, ki je bila, preden je Gospod uničil Sódomo in Gomóro, vsepovsod dobro namakana, kakor Gospodov vrt, podobna egiptovski deželi, ko prideš do Coarja.

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 Potem si je Lot izbral vso Jordansko ravnino in Lot je odpotoval vzhodno in ločila sta se drug od drugega, eden od drugega.

So Lot chose for himself all the plain of the Jordan and traveled east, and the relatives separated from each other.

12 Abram je prebival v kánaanski deželi, Lot pa je prebival v mestih ravnine in svoj šotor postavljal v smeri Sódome.

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 Toda sódomski možje so bili zlobni in silni grešniki pred Gospodom.

Now the men of Sodom were very wicked sinners against Yahweh.

14 Gospod je rekel Abramu, potem ko je bil Lot ločen od njega: »Dvigni torej svoje oči in poglej, od kraja, kjer si, proti severu, proti jugu, proti vzhodu in proti zahodu.

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 Kajti vso deželo, ki jo vidiš, bom dal tebi in tvojemu potomstvu na veke.

All this land which you see, I will give to you and to your descendants forever.

16 Tvojega semena bom naredil kakor zemeljskega prahu, tako da če človek lahko prešteje zemeljski prah, potem bo prešteto tudi tvoje seme.

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 Vstani, prehodi deželo po njeni dolžini in po njeni širini, kajti tebi jo bom dal.«

Arise, walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I will give it to you.”

18 Potem je Abram odstranil svoj šotor in prišel ter prebival na mamrejski ravnini, ki je v Hebrónu in tam zgradil oltar Gospodu.

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.
