¹Abram went up out of Egypt: he, his wife, 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.

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

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

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,

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

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

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

⁵Lot also, who 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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.”

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.

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.

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.

¹¹So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled 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 lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.

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

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

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

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,

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 you see, I will give to you, and to your offspring forever.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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