< اَلتَّكْوِينُ 13 >

فَصَعِدَ أَبْرَامُ مِنْ مِصْرَ هُوَ وَٱمْرَأَتُهُ وَكُلُّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ، وَلُوطٌ مَعَهُ إِلَى ٱلْجَنُوبِ. ١ 1
And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the South.
وَكَانَ أَبْرَامُ غَنِيًّا جِدًّا فِي ٱلْمَوَاشِي وَٱلْفِضَّةِ وَٱلذَّهَبِ. ٢ 2
And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
وَسَارَ فِي رِحْلَاتِهِ مِنَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ، إِلَى ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَتْ خَيْمَتُهُ فِيهِ فِي ٱلْبَدَاءَةِ، بَيْنَ بَيْتِ إِيلَ وَعَايَ، ٣ 3
And he went on his journeys from the South even to Beth-el, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beth-el and Ai,
إِلَى مَكَانِ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَهُ هُنَاكَ أَوَّلًا. وَدَعَا هُنَاكَ أَبْرَامُ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٤ 4
unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of Jehovah.
وَلُوطٌ ٱلسَّائِرُ مَعَ أَبْرَامَ، كَانَ لَهُ أَيْضًا غَنَمٌ وَبَقَرٌ وَخِيَامٌ. ٥ 5
And Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
وَلَمْ تَحْتَمِلْهُمَا ٱلْأَرْضُ أَنْ يَسْكُنَا مَعًا، إِذْ كَانَتْ أَمْلَاكُهُمَا كَثِيرَةً، فَلَمْ يَقْدِرَا أَنْ يَسْكُنَا مَعًا. ٦ 6
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.
فَحَدَثَتْ مُخَاصَمَةٌ بَيْنَ رُعَاةِ مَوَاشِي أَبْرَامَ وَرُعَاةِ مَوَاشِي لُوطٍ. وَكَانَ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ وَٱلْفَرِزِّيُّونَ حِينَئِذٍ سَاكِنِينَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٧ 7
And there was a strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s cattle and the herdsmen of Lot’s cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelt then in the land.
فَقَالَ أَبْرَامُ لِلُوطٍ: «لَا تَكُنْ مُخَاصَمَةٌ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ، وَبَيْنَ رُعَاتِي وَرُعَاتِكَ، لِأَنَّنَا نَحْنُ أَخَوَانِ. ٨ 8
And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen; for we are brethren.
أَلَيْسَتْ كُلُّ ٱلْأَرْضِ أَمَامَكَ؟ ٱعْتَزِلْ عَنِّي. إِنْ ذَهَبْتَ شِمَالًا فَأَنَا يَمِينًا، وَإِنْ يَمِينًا فَأَنَا شِمَالًا». ٩ 9
Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if [thou wilt take] the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if [thou take] the right hand, then I will go to the left.
فَرَفَعَ لُوطٌ عَيْنَيْهِ وَرَأَى كُلَّ دَائِرَةِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ أَنَّ جَمِيعَهَا سَقْيٌ، قَبْلَمَا أَخْرَبَ ٱلرَّبُّ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ، كَجَنَّةِ ٱلرَّبِّ، كَأَرْضِ مِصْرَ. حِينَمَا تَجِيءُ إِلَى صُوغَرَ. ١٠ 10
And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the Plain of the Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before Jehovah destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of Jehovah, like the land of Egypt, as thou goest unto Zoar.
فَٱخْتَارَ لُوطٌ لِنَفْسِهِ كُلَّ دَائِرَةِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، وَٱرْتَحَلَ لُوطٌ شَرْقًا. فَٱعْتَزَلَ ٱلْوَاحِدُ عَنِ ٱلْآخَرِ. ١١ 11
So Lot chose him all the Plain of the Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.
أَبْرَامُ سَكَنَ فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، وَلُوطٌ سَكَنَ فِي مُدُنِ ٱلدَّائِرَةِ، وَنَقَلَ خِيَامَهُ إِلَى سَدُومَ. ١٢ 12
Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the Plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.
وَكَانَ أَهْلُ سَدُومَ أَشْرَارًا وَخُطَاةً لَدَى ٱلرَّبِّ جِدًّا. ١٣ 13
Now the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners against Jehovah exceedingly.
وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِأَبْرَامَ، بَعْدَ ٱعْتِزَالِ لُوطٍ عَنْهُ: «ٱرْفَعْ عَيْنَيْكَ وَٱنْظُرْ مِنَ ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي أَنْتَ فِيهِ شِمَالًا وَجَنُوبًا وَشَرْقًا وَغَرْبًا، ١٤ 14
And Jehovah said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art, northward and southward and eastward and westward:
لِأَنَّ جَمِيعَ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتَ تَرَى لَكَ أُعْطِيهَا وَلِنَسْلِكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. ١٥ 15
for all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
وَأَجْعَلُ نَسْلَكَ كَتُرَابِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، حَتَّى إِذَا ٱسْتَطَاعَ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَعُدَّ تُرَابَ ٱلْأَرْضِ فَنَسْلُكَ أَيْضًا يُعَدُّ. ١٦ 16
And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then may thy seed also be numbered.
قُمِ ٱمْشِ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ طُولَهَا وَعَرْضَهَا، لِأَنِّي لَكَ أُعْطِيهَا». ١٧ 17
Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for unto thee will I give it.
فَنَقَلَ أَبْرَامُ خِيَامَهُ وَأَتَى وَأَقَامَ عِنْدَ بَلُّوطَاتِ مَمْرَا ٱلَّتِي فِي حَبْرُونَ، وَبَنَى هُنَاكَ مَذْبَحًا لِلرَّبِّ. ١٨ 18
And Abram moved his tent, and came and dwelt by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built there an altar unto Jehovah.
