¹And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.

¹Šel je torej Abram iz Egipta, on in žena njegova in vse, kar je imel, tudi Lot ž njim, v južno stran.

²And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.

²Bil je pa Abram silno bogat živine, srebra in zlata.

³And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai;

³In šel je po svojih potih z južne strani do Betela, tja do kraja, kjer je bil prej šator njegov, med Betelom in Ajem,

⁴Unto the place of the altar, which he had make there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.

⁴do kraja onega oltarja, ki ga je prej ondi naredil; in tam je klical Abram ime GOSPODOVO.

⁵And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.

⁵A tudi Lot, ki je šel z Abramom, je imel črede ovac in goved in šatore.

⁶And 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.

⁶Zato jima je bila pretesna tista pokrajina, da bi skupaj bivala, ker imetja njunega je bilo mnogo, in nista mogla bivati skupaj.

⁷And 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.

⁷In bil je prepir med čredniki Abramovimi in čredniki Lotovimi; in Kanaanec in Ferizejec sta bivala tedaj v deželi.

⁸And 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.

⁸Reče torej Abram Lotu: Nikar ne bodi prepira med menoj in teboj, med mojimi pastirji in pastirji tvojimi, kar moža brata sva.

⁹Is 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.

⁹Ni li vsa dežela pred teboj? Loči se, prosim, od mene: če torej na levo, pojdem jaz na desno, če pa na desno, pojdem na levo.

¹⁰And 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.

¹⁰In Lot povzdigne oči in vidi vso ravan Jordanovo, da jo je povsod namakala voda, preden je GOSPOD pokončal Sodomo in Gomoro, kakor vrt GOSPODOV, kakor deželo Egiptovsko, do tja, kjer se pride v Zoar.

¹¹Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.

¹¹In izvoli si Lot vso ravan Jordanovo; in napoti se Lot proti jutru, in ločita se drug od drugega.

¹²Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.

¹²Abram je bival v pokrajini Kanaanski, Lot pa je bival v mestih one ravnine in pomikal prav do Sodome šatore svoje.

¹³But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.

¹³Sodomljani pa so bili hudobni in veliki grešniki pred GOSPODOM.

¹⁴And 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:

¹⁴In GOSPOD reče Abramu, potem ko se je Lot ločil od njega: Povzdigni sedaj oči ter se ozri s kraja, kjer si, proti severu in proti jugu in proti izhodu in zahodu:

¹⁵For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.

¹⁵zakaj vso to deželo, ki jo vidiš, hočem dati tebi in semenu tvojemu na vekomaj.

¹⁶And 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.

¹⁶In naredim seme tvoje kakor prah zemlje: ako more kdo prah zemlje sešteti, sešteje tudi tvoje seme.

¹⁷Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.

¹⁷Vstani, obhodi deželo to po dolgosti njeni in po širokosti, zakaj dati ti jo hočem.Premakne torej Abram šatore ter pride in prebiva pri hrastih Mamrejevih, ki so pri Hebronu, in ondi postavi oltar GOSPODU.

¹⁸Then 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.

¹⁸Premakne torej Abram šatore ter pride in prebiva pri hrastih Mamrejevih, ki so pri Hebronu, in ondi postavi oltar GOSPODU.
