Aabraam Iyo Luud Oo Kala Guuray

13 Aabraamna Masar wuu ka baxay, isaga, iyo naagtiisii, iyo wuxuu haystay oo dhan, Luudna wuu raacay, oo wuxuu tegey xagga koonfureed. Oo Aabraam hodan buu ka ahaa xagga xoolaha iyo lacagta iyo dahabka. Xagga koonfureed ayuu ka tegey oo wuxuu u socdaalay ilaa Beytel, meeshii bilowgii ay teendhadiisu ahayd, ee u dhexaysay Beytel iyo Aacii; ilaa meeshii allabariga oo uu horraantii halkaas ka sameeyey; oo meeshaasuu Aabraam magaca Rabbiga kaga baryootamay. Oo Luud, oo isna Aabraam la socday, wuxuu lahaa adhi, iyo lo', iyo teendhooyin. Dhulkuna ma uu qaadi karin iyagii, hadday wada degganaan lahaayeen: waayo, xoolahoodu way badnaayeen, oo sidaas daraaddeed ma ay wada degganaan karin. Dirir baana ku dhex jirtay xoolojirradii Aabraam iyo xoolojirradii Luud. Markaasna reer Kancaan iyo reer Feris dhulkaasay degganaayeen. Oo Aabraam wuxuu Luud ku yidhi, Waxaan kaa baryayaa inaan diriru inaga dhex dhicin aniga iyo adiga, iyo xoolojirradayda iyo xoolojirradaada; maxaa yeelay, waxaynu nahay walaalo. Dhulka oo dhammu sow kaa ma horreeyo? Waxaan kaa baryayaa inaad iga guurtid. Haddaad bidixda tagto, midigtaan tegayaa; haddaad midigta tagtona, bidixdaan tegayaa. 10 Kolkaasuu Luud indhihiisii kor u taagay, oo wuxuu arkay Bannaankii Webi Urdun oo dhan, iyo inay meel waluba aad u waraabsan tahay, intaan Rabbigu baabbi'in Sodom iyo Gomora; wuxuu u ekaa beertii Ilaah, iyo sida dalka Masar markaad tagto xagga Socar. 11 Markaasuu Luud wuxuu doortay Bannaankii Urdun oo dhan; oo Luud xagga bari buu u socdaalay; oo way kala guureen. 12 Aabraam wuxuu degay dalkii Kancaan, Luudna wuxuu degay magaalooyinkii Bannaanka ku yiil, oo teendhadiisii wuxuu u wareejiyey xagga Sodom. 13 Haddaba dadkii Sodom shar miidhan bay ahaayeen, Ilaahna aad iyo aad bay ugu dembaabeen. 14 Oo Rabbigu wuxuu Aabraam ku yidhi, intii Luud ka guuray ka dib, Indhahaaga kor u taag, oo meeshaad joogto ka fiiri, xagga woqooyi iyo xagga koonfureed, iyo xagga bari iyo xagga galbeedba; 15 waayo, dhulka aad aragto oo dhan waxaan siin doonaa adiga iyo farcankaaga weligiin. 16 Farcankaagana waxaan ka dhigi doonaa sida ciidda dhulka; haddii nin ciidda dhulka tirin karo, farcankaagana waa la tirin doonaa. 17 Bal kac oo ku dhex soco dhulka dhererkiisa iyo ballaadhkiisa; waayo, adigaan ku siin doonaa. 18 Oo Aabraam teendhadiisii wuu wareejiyey, oo wuxuu yimid oo degay dhirtii Mamre, ee ku tiil Xebroon, oo halkaasuu Rabbiga meel allabari uga dhisay.

Abram and Lot Separate

13 So Abram went up from Egypt(A) to the Negev,(B) with his wife and everything he had, and Lot(C) went with him. Abram had become very wealthy(D) in livestock(E) and in silver and gold.

From the Negev(F) he went from place to place until he came to Bethel,(G) to the place between Bethel and Ai(H) where his tent had been earlier and where he had first built an altar.(I) There Abram called on the name of the Lord.(J)

Now Lot,(K) who was moving about with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents. But the land could not support them while they stayed together, for their possessions were so great that they were not able to stay together.(L) And quarreling(M) arose between Abram’s herders and Lot’s. The Canaanites(N) and Perizzites(O) were also living in the land(P) at that time.

So Abram said to Lot,(Q) “Let’s not have any quarreling between you and me,(R) or between your herders and mine, for we are close relatives.(S) Is not the whole land before you? Let’s part company. If you go to the left, I’ll go to the right; if you go to the right, I’ll go to the left.”(T)

10 Lot looked around and saw that the whole plain(U) of the Jordan toward Zoar(V) was well watered, like the garden of the Lord,(W) like the land of Egypt.(X) (This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom(Y) and Gomorrah.)(Z) 11 So Lot chose for himself the whole plain of the Jordan and set out toward the east. The two men parted company: 12 Abram lived in the land of Canaan,(AA) while Lot(AB) lived among the cities of the plain(AC) and pitched his tents near Sodom.(AD) 13 Now the people of Sodom(AE) were wicked and were sinning greatly against the Lord.(AF)

14 The Lord said to Abram after Lot had parted from him, “Look around from where you are, to the north and south, to the east and west.(AG) 15 All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring[a] forever.(AH) 16 I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth, so that if anyone could count the dust, then your offspring could be counted.(AI) 17 Go, walk through the length and breadth of the land,(AJ) for I am giving it to you.”(AK)

18 So Abram went to live near the great trees of Mamre(AL) at Hebron,(AM) where he pitched his tents. There he built an altar to the Lord.(AN)

  1. Genesis 13:15 Or seed; also in verse 16

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

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

And 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;

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

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

And 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.

And 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.

And 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.

Is 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.

10 And 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.

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

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

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

14 And 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:

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

16 And 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.

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

18 Then 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.
