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

¹Abram meninggalkan Mesir dan pergi ke arah utara, menuju ke bagian selatan Kanaan dengan istrinya serta segala miliknya, dan Lot ikut juga.

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

²Abram kaya raya; ia memiliki domba, kambing, sapi, juga perak dan emas.

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,

³Maka pergilah ia dari satu tempat ke tempat yang lain, menuju ke Betel. Ia sampai ke daerah di antara Betel dan Ai, di tempat keramat di mana ia dahulu berkemah

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

⁴dan mendirikan mezbah. Di situ ia menyembah TUHAN.

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

⁵Lot juga mempunyai keluarga dan hamba-hamba serta domba, kambing dan sapi.

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.

⁶Karena itu tanah di situ tidak cukup padang rumputnya untuk didiami mereka berdua, sebab ternak mereka terlalu banyak.

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.

⁷Lalu terjadilah pertengkaran antara para gembala Abram dan para gembala Lot. (Pada masa itu orang Kanaan dan orang Feris masih mendiami tanah itu).

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.

⁸Abram berkata kepada Lot, "Kita ini bersaudara, tidak baik jika orang-orangmu dan orang-orangku saling bertengkar.

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.”

⁹Sebab itu sebaiknya kita berpisah. Pilihlah bagian mana dari tanah ini yang kausukai. Jika engkau pergi ke arah ini, saya akan pergi ke arah yang lain."

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.

¹⁰Lot memandang ke sekitarnya dan dilihatnya bahwa seluruh Lembah Yordan, sampai ke kota Zoar banyak airnya, seperti Taman TUHAN atau seperti tanah Mesir. (Begitulah keadaannya sebelum TUHAN memusnahkan kota-kota Sodom dan Gomora.)

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

¹¹Akhirnya Lot memilih seluruh Lembah Yordan itu, lalu berangkat ke timur. Demikianlah kedua orang itu berpisah.

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

¹²Abram tetap tinggal di tanah Kanaan, sedangkan Lot berkemah di kota-kota di lembah sampai dekat Sodom.

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

¹³Kota Sodom itu didiami oleh orang-orang yang sangat jahat dan berdosa terhadap TUHAN.

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,

¹⁴Setelah Lot pergi, TUHAN berkata kepada Abram, "Dari tempat engkau berdiri itu, pandanglah baik-baik ke segala arah;

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

¹⁵Aku akan memberikan kepadamu dan kepada keturunanmu seluruh tanah yang engkau lihat itu supaya menjadi milikmu selama-lamanya.

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.

¹⁶Aku akan memberikan kepadamu keturunan yang sangat banyak, sehingga tak seorang pun sanggup menghitung mereka. Sebagaimana orang tak dapat menghitung debu di tanah, demikian juga keturunanmu tidak akan dapat dihitung.

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

¹⁷Sekarang, jelajahilah seluruh tanah ini, sebab Aku akan memberikannya kepadamu."

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

¹⁸Setelah itu Abram memindahkan perkemahannya lalu menetap di dekat pohon-pohon keramat tempat ibadat di Mamre dekat Hebron, dan di situ ia mendirikan mezbah bagi TUHAN.
