Genesis 13
1 And Abram went up out of Egypt with his wife and all he had, and Lot with him, and they came in to the South.
Iz Egipta Abram ode gore u Negeb sa svojom ženom i sa svime što je imao. I Lot bješe s njim.
2 Now Abram had great wealth of cattle and silver and gold.
Abram je bio veoma bogat stokom, srebrom i zlatom.
3 And travelling on from the South, he came to Beth-el, to the place where his tent had been before, between Beth-el and Ai;
Od postaje do postaje iz Negeba išao je do Betela,
4 To the place where he had made his first altar, and there Abram gave worship to the name of the Lord.
do mjesta na kojem je bio postavio šator, između Betela i Aja, gdje je prije podigao žrtvenik. Tu je Abram zazivao ime Jahvino.
5 And Lot, who went with him, had flocks and herds and tents;
I Lot, koji iđaše s Abramom, imaše ovaca, goveda i šatora,
6 So that the land was not wide enough for the two of them: their property was so great that there was not room for them together.
tako da ih kraj ne bi izdržavao kad bi zajedno ostali. Njihovo je blago bilo veliko, te zajedno nisu mogli boraviti.
7 And there was an argument between the keepers of Abram's cattle and the keepers of Lot's cattle: at that time the Canaanites and Perizzites were still living in the land.
Svađa je nastajala između pastira stoke Abramove i pastira stoke Lotove. Tada su zemlju nastavali Kanaanci i Perižani.
8 Then Abram said to Lot, Let there be no argument between me and you, and between my herdmen and your herdmen, for we are brothers.
Zato Abram reče Lotu: “Neka ne bude svađe između mene i tebe, između pastira mojih i tvojih - tÓa mi smo braća!
9 Is not all the land before you? then let us go our separate ways: if you go to the left, I will go to the right; or if you take the right, I will go to the left.
Nije li sva zemlja pred tobom? Odvoji se od mene! Kreneš li ti nalijevo, ja ću nadesno; ako ćeš ti nadesno, ja ću nalijevo.”
10 And Lot, lifting up his eyes and looking an the valley of Jordan, saw that it was well watered everywhere, before the Lord had sent destruction on Sodom and Gomorrah; it was like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, on the way to Zoar.
Lot podiže oči i vidje kako je dobro posvuda natapana sva Jordanska dolina, kao kakav vrt Jahvin, kao zemlja egipatska prema Soaru. - Bilo je to prije nego što je Jahve uništio Sodomu i Gomoru. -
11 So Lot took for himself all the valley of Jordan, and went to the east, and they were parted from one another.
Lot izabere za se svu Jordansku dolinu i ode na istok. Tako se odijele jedan od drugoga.
12 Abram went on living in the land of Canaan, and Lot went to the lowland towns, moving his tent as far as Sodom.
Abram ostade u kanaanskoj zemlji, dok je Lot živio po mjestima u dolini i razapeo svoje šatore do Sodome.
13 Now the men of Sodom were evil, and great sinners before the Lord.
A žitelji Sodome bijahu veoma opaki, sami grešnici protiv Jahve.
14 And the Lord had said to Abram, after Lot was parted from him, From this place where you are take a look to the north and to the south, to the east and to the west:
Jahve reče Abramu, pošto se Lot od njega rastao: “Oči svoje podigni i s mjesta na kojem si pogledaj prema sjeveru, jugu, istoku i zapadu;
15 For all the land which you see I will give to you and to your seed for ever.
jer svu zemlju što je možeš vidjeti dat ću tebi i tvome potomstvu zauvijek.
16 And I will make your children like the dust of the earth, so that if the dust of the earth may be numbered, then will your children be numbered.
Potomstvo ću tvoje učiniti kao prah na zemlji. Ako tko mogne prebrojiti prah zemlje, i tvoje će potomstvo moći prebrojiti.
17 Come, go through all the land from one end to the other for I will give it to you.
Na noge! Prođi zemljom uzduž i poprijeko jer ću je tebi predati.”
18 And Abram, moving his tent, came and made his living-place by the holy tree of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and made an altar there to the Lord.
Abram digne šatore i dođe pa se naseli kod hrasta Mamre, što je u Hebronu. Ondje podigne žrtvenik Jahvi.
