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

¹Ja Aabram läks Egiptusest üles Lõunamaale, tema ja ta naine ja kõik, mis tal oli; ja Lott oli koos temaga.

²Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.

²Ja Aabram oli väga rikas karja, hõbeda ja kulla poolest.

³He went on his journeys from the South even to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,

³Ja ta rändas peatuspaigast teise, Lõunamaalt Peeteli poole, sinna paika, kus ta telk enne oli olnud, Peeteli ja Ai vahel,

⁴to the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first. There Abram called on the name of Yahweh.

⁴altari paika, mille ta varem sinna oli teinud; ja Aabram hüüdis seal appi Issanda nime.

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

⁵Aga ka Lotil, kes rändas koos Aabramiga, oli lambaid ja kitsi, veiseid ja telke.

⁶The land was not able to bear them, that they might live together: for their substance was great, so that they could not live together.

⁶Kuid maa ei suutnud neid toita, et üheskoos elada, sest nende varandus oli nii suur, et neil oli võimatu üheskoos elada.

⁷There 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.

⁷Ja Aabrami loomade karjaste ja Loti loomade karjaste vahel tekkis riid; kaananlased ja perislased elasid siis veel sellel maal.

⁸Abram said to Lot, “Please, let there be no strife between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are relatives.

⁸Siis Aabram ütles Lotile: 'Ärgu olgu riidu minu ja sinu vahel, minu karjaste ja sinu karjaste vahel. Meie, mehed, oleme ju vennad!

⁹Isn’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.”

⁹Eks ole kogu maa su ees lahti? Mine nüüd minu juurest ära, lähed sina vasakut kätt, lähen mina paremat kätt; lähed sina paremat kätt, lähen mina vasakut kätt.'

¹⁰Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well-watered everywhere, before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt, as you go to Zoar.

¹⁰Siis Lott tõstis oma silmad üles ja nägi, et kogu Jordani piirkond oli kõikjal veerikas; enne kui Issand Soodoma ja Gomorra hävitas, oli see kuni Soarini otsekui Issanda rohuaed, samasugune nagu Egiptusemaa.

¹¹So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated themselves the one from the other.

¹¹Ja Lott valis enesele kogu Jordani piirkonna; Lott läks teele hommiku poole ja nad lahkusid teineteisest.

¹²Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.

¹²Aabram jäi Kaananimaale ja Lott asus piirkonna linnadesse ning lõi oma telgid üles Soodomani.

¹³Now the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinners against Yahweh.

¹³Aga Soodoma mehed olid väga pahad ja patused Issanda ees.

¹⁴Yahweh said to Abram, after Lot was separated from him, “Now, lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward,

¹⁴Ja Issand ütles Aabramile, pärast seda kui Lott tema juurest oli lahkunud: 'Tõsta nüüd oma silmad üles ja vaata paigast, kus sa oled, põhja ja lõuna ja hommiku ja õhtu poole,

¹⁵for all the land which you see, I will give to you, and to your offspring forever.

¹⁵sest kogu maa, mida sa näed, ma annan sinule ja su soole igaveseks ajaks!

¹⁶I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then your seed may also be numbered.

¹⁶Ja ma teen su soo maapõrmu sarnaseks: kui keegi suudab maapõrmu ära lugeda, siis on sinugi sugu äraloetav.

¹⁷Arise, walk through the land in its length and in its breadth; for I will give it to you.”

¹⁷Võta kätte, käi maa läbi pikuti ja põiki, sest ma annan selle sinule!'

¹⁸Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to Yahweh.

¹⁸Ja Aabram võttis telgid ja tuli ning elas Mamre tammikus, mis on Hebroni juures; ja ta ehitas sinna altari Issandale.
