< Genesis 13 >

1 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, towards the south.
Tad Ābrams aizgāja no Ēģiptes uz (Kanaāna) dienvidus zemi, viņš ar savu sievu un ar visu, kas viņam bija, un Lats līdz ar viņu.
2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
Un Ābrams bija ļoti bagāts ar lopiem, ar sudrabu un ar zeltu.
3 And he went on his journeys from the south as far as Bethel; as far as the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai;
Un viņš gāja savu ceļu no dienvidus zemes uz Bēteli līdz tai vietai, kur iesākumā viņa telts bija starp Bēteli un starp Aju,
4 to the place of the altar that he had made there at the first. And there Abram called on the name of Jehovah.
Līdz tā altāra vietai, ko viņš iesākumā bija cēlis; un Ābrams tur piesauca Tā Kunga vārdu.
5 And Lot also who went with Abram had flocks, and herds, and tents.
Un Latam, kas Ābramam gāja līdz, bija arīdzan avis un vērši un teltis.
6 And the land could not support them, that they might dwell together, for their property was great; and they could not dwell together.
Un tā zeme tos nepanesa, ka varētu kopā dzīvot, jo viņu manta bija liela, un tie nevarēja kopā dzīvot.
7 And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram's cattle and the herdsmen of Lot's cattle. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite were dwelling then in the land.
Un strīdus cēlās starp Ābrama lopu ganiem un Lata lopu ganiem; un Kanaānieši un Ferezieši dzīvoja tolaik tai zemē.
8 And Abram said to Lot, I pray thee let there be no contention between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen, for we are brethren.
Tad Ābrams sacīja uz Latu: lūdzams, lai jel strīdus nav starp mani un tevi, un starp maniem ganiem un taviem ganiem, jo mēs esam brāļi.
9 Is not the whole land before thee? Separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if to the left, then I will take the right; and if to the right, then I will take the left.
Vai visa zeme nav tavā priekšā? Atšķiries jel no manis; ja tu gribi pa kreiso roku, tad es gribu pa labo, bet ja tu gribi pa labo roku, tad es iešu pa kreiso.
10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of the Jordan that it was thoroughly watered, before Jehovah had destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah; as the garden of Jehovah, like the land of Egypt, as one goes to Zoar.
Un Lats pacēla savas acis un redzēja visu Jardānes apgabalu, ka tas bija bagāts ar ūdeni, (pirms nekā Tas Kungs Sodomu un Gomoru izpostīja), tā kā Tā Kunga dārzs, itin kā Ēģiptes zeme, kamēr nāk līdz Coārai.
11 And Lot chose for himself all the plain of the Jordan; and Lot went toward the east. And they separated the one from the other:
Tad Lats izredzējās visu Jardānes apgabalu, un Lats aizgāja pret rītiem, un tie šķīrās viens no otra.
12 Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan; and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain, and pitched tents as far as Sodom.
Ābrams dzīvoja Kanaāna zemē, un Lats dzīvoja Jardānes apgabala pilsētās un cēla savas teltis līdz Sodomai.
13 And the people of Sodom were wicked, and great sinners before Jehovah.
Bet Sodomieši bija ļauni un ļoti grēcīgi pret To Kungu.
14 And Jehovah said to Abram, after that Lot had separated himself from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art, northward and southward and eastward and westward;
Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Ābramu, kad Lats no viņa bija šķīries: pacel jel savas acis un lūko no tās vietas, kur tu esi, uz ziemeļa pusi un uz dienvidiem un uz rītiem un uz jūru.
15 for all the land that thou seest will I give to thee, and to thy seed for ever.
Jo visu to zemi, ko tu redzi, Es došu tev un tavam dzimumam mūžīgi.
16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth, so that if any one can number the dust of the earth, thy seed also will be numbered.
Un Es darīšu tavu dzimumu tā kā zemes pīšļus, ja kas varēs izskaitīt zemes pīšļus, tas varēs izskaitīt arī tavu dzimumu.
17 Arise, walk through the land according to the length of it and according to the breadth of it; for I will give it to thee.
Celies, pārstaigā to zemi krustām šķērsām, jo tev Es to gribu dot.
18 Then Abram moved [his] tents, and came and dwelt by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron. And he built there an altar to Jehovah.
Un Ābrams cēla teltis un nāca un dzīvoja starp Mamres ozoliem pie Hebrones, un uztaisīja tur Tam Kungam altāri.
