Postanak 13
1 Tako otide Avram iz Misira gore na jug, on i žena mu i sve što imaše, takoðer i Lot s njim.
And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.
2 A bijaše Avram vrlo bogat stokom, srebrom i zlatom.
And Abram [was] very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
3 I iðaše svojim putovima od juga sve do Vetilja, do mjesta gdje mu prvo bijaše šator, izmeðu Vetilja i Gaja,
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 Hai;
4 Do mjesta, gdje preðe bješe naèinio žrtvenik; i ondje prizva Avram ime Gospodnje.
Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.
5 A i Lot koji iðaše s Avramom imaše ovaca i goveda i šatora.
And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
6 I zemlja ne mogaše ih nositi zajedno, jer blago njihovo bijaše veliko da ne mogahu živjeti zajedno,
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.
7 I bijaše svaða meðu pastirima Avramove stoke i pastirima Lotove stoke. A u to vrijeme življahu Hananeji i Ferezeji u onoj zemlji.
And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram’s cattle and the herdmen of Lot’s cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.
8 Pa Avram reèe Lotu: nemoj da se svaðamo ja i ti, ni moji pastiri i tvoji pastiri; jer smo braæa.
And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we [be] brethren.
9 Nije li ti otvorena cijela zemlja? Odijeli se od mene. Ako æeš ti na lijevo, ja æu na desno; ako li æeš ti na desno, ja æu na lijevo.
[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 depart] to the right hand, then I will go to the left.
10 Tada Lot podiže oèi svoje i sagleda svu ravnicu Jordansku, kako cijelu natapaše rijeka, bješe kao vrt Gospodnji, kao zemlja Misirska, sve do Zogora, prije nego Gospod zatr Sodom i Gomor.
And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it [was] well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, [even] as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.
11 I Lot izabra sebi svu ravnicu Jordansku, i otide Lot na istok; i razdijeliše se jedan od drugoga:
Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.
12 Avram življaše u zemlji Hananskoj, a Lot življaše po gradovima u onoj ravnici premještajuæi svoje šatore do Sodoma.
Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched [his] tent toward Sodom.
13 A ljudi u Sodomu bijahu nevaljali, i griješahu Gospodu veoma.
But the men of Sodom [were] wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.
14 A Gospod reèe Avramu, pošto se Lot odijeli od njega: podigni sada oèi svoje, pa pogledaj s mjesta gdje si na sjever i na jug i na istok i na zapad.
And the LORD 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:
15 Jer svu zemlju što vidiš tebi æu dati i sjemenu tvojemu dovijeka.
For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
16 I uèiniæu da sjemena tvojega bude kao praha na zemlji; ako ko uzmože izbrojiti prah na zemlji, moæi æe izbrojiti i sjeme tvoje.
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] shall thy seed also be numbered.
17 Ustani, i prolazi tu zemlju u dužinu i u širinu; jer æu je tebi dati.
Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.
18 I Avram diže šatore, i doðe i naseli se u ravnici Mamrijskoj, koja je kod Hevrona, i ondje naèini žrtvenik Gospodu.
Then Abram removed [his] tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which [is] in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD.
