< اَلتَّكْوِينُ 13 >

فَصَعِدَ أَبْرَامُ مِنْ مِصْرَ هُوَ وَٱمْرَأَتُهُ وَكُلُّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ، وَلُوطٌ مَعَهُ إِلَى ٱلْجَنُوبِ. ١ 1
Abram went up out of Egypt: he, his wife, and all his possessions, and Lot with him, into the Negev.
وَكَانَ أَبْرَامُ غَنِيًّا جِدًّا فِي ٱلْمَوَاشِي وَٱلْفِضَّةِ وَٱلذَّهَبِ. ٢ 2
Abram was very rich in livestock, 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
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,
إِلَى مَكَانِ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَهُ هُنَاكَ أَوَّلًا. وَدَعَا هُنَاكَ أَبْرَامُ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٤ 4
to the place where he had first built the altar. And there Abram called on the name of God.
وَلُوطٌ ٱلسَّائِرُ مَعَ أَبْرَامَ، كَانَ لَهُ أَيْضًا غَنَمٌ وَبَقَرٌ وَخِيَامٌ. ٥ 5
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
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.
فَحَدَثَتْ مُخَاصَمَةٌ بَيْنَ رُعَاةِ مَوَاشِي أَبْرَامَ وَرُعَاةِ مَوَاشِي لُوطٍ. وَكَانَ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ وَٱلْفَرِزِّيُّونَ حِينَئِذٍ سَاكِنِينَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٧ 7
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.
فَقَالَ أَبْرَامُ لِلُوطٍ: «لَا تَكُنْ مُخَاصَمَةٌ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ، وَبَيْنَ رُعَاتِي وَرُعَاتِكَ، لِأَنَّنَا نَحْنُ أَخَوَانِ. ٨ 8
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.
أَلَيْسَتْ كُلُّ ٱلْأَرْضِ أَمَامَكَ؟ ٱعْتَزِلْ عَنِّي. إِنْ ذَهَبْتَ شِمَالًا فَأَنَا يَمِينًا، وَإِنْ يَمِينًا فَأَنَا شِمَالًا». ٩ 9
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."
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
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.)
فَٱخْتَارَ لُوطٌ لِنَفْسِهِ كُلَّ دَائِرَةِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، وَٱرْتَحَلَ لُوطٌ شَرْقًا. فَٱعْتَزَلَ ٱلْوَاحِدُ عَنِ ٱلْآخَرِ. ١١ 11
So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated from each other.
أَبْرَامُ سَكَنَ فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، وَلُوطٌ سَكَنَ فِي مُدُنِ ٱلدَّائِرَةِ، وَنَقَلَ خِيَامَهُ إِلَى سَدُومَ. ١٢ 12
Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived 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 people of Sodom were evil, sinning greatly against God.
وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِأَبْرَامَ، بَعْدَ ٱعْتِزَالِ لُوطٍ عَنْهُ: «ٱرْفَعْ عَيْنَيْكَ وَٱنْظُرْ مِنَ ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي أَنْتَ فِيهِ شِمَالًا وَجَنُوبًا وَشَرْقًا وَغَرْبًا، ١٤ 14
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,
لِأَنَّ جَمِيعَ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتَ تَرَى لَكَ أُعْطِيهَا وَلِنَسْلِكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. ١٥ 15
for all the land which you see I will give to you and to your offspring forever.
وَأَجْعَلُ نَسْلَكَ كَتُرَابِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، حَتَّى إِذَا ٱسْتَطَاعَ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَعُدَّ تُرَابَ ٱلْأَرْضِ فَنَسْلُكَ أَيْضًا يُعَدُّ. ١٦ 16
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.
قُمِ ٱمْشِ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ طُولَهَا وَعَرْضَهَا، لِأَنِّي لَكَ أُعْطِيهَا». ١٧ 17
Arise, walk through the land in its length and in its breadth; for I will give it to you."
فَنَقَلَ أَبْرَامُ خِيَامَهُ وَأَتَى وَأَقَامَ عِنْدَ بَلُّوطَاتِ مَمْرَا ٱلَّتِي فِي حَبْرُونَ، وَبَنَى هُنَاكَ مَذْبَحًا لِلرَّبِّ. ١٨ 18
Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to God.
