Genesis 13

1 So Abram went up out of Egypt into the Negev—he and his wife and all his possessions—and Lot was with him.

1 فَصَعِدَ أَبْرَامُ مِنْ مِصْرَ هُوَ وَٱمْرَأَتُهُ وَكُلُّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ، وَلُوطٌ مَعَهُ إِلَى ٱلْجَنُوبِ.

2 And Abram had become extremely wealthy in livestock and silver and gold.

2 وَكَانَ أَبْرَامُ غَنِيًّا جِدًّا فِي ٱلْمَوَاشِي وَٱلْفِضَّةِ وَٱلذَّهَبِ.

3 From the Negev he journeyed from place to place toward Bethel, until he came to the place between Bethel and Ai where his tent had formerly been pitched,

3 وَسَارَ فِي رِحْلَاتِهِ مِنَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ، إِلَى ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَتْ خَيْمَتُهُ فِيهِ فِي ٱلْبَدَاءَةِ، بَيْنَ بَيْتِ إِيلَ وَعَايَ،

4 to the site where he had built the altar. And there Abram called on the name of the LORD.

4 إِلَى مَكَانِ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَهُ هُنَاكَ أَوَّلًا. وَدَعَا هُنَاكَ أَبْرَامُ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

5 Now Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents.

5 وَلُوطٌ ٱلسَّائِرُ مَعَ أَبْرَامَ، كَانَ لَهُ أَيْضًا غَنَمٌ وَبَقَرٌ وَخِيَامٌ.

6 But the land was unable to support both of them while they stayed together, for they had so many possessions that they were unable to coexist.

6 وَلَمْ تَحْتَمِلْهُمَا ٱلْأَرْضُ أَنْ يَسْكُنَا مَعًا، إِذْ كَانَتْ أَمْلَاكُهُمَا كَثِيرَةً، فَلَمْ يَقْدِرَا أَنْ يَسْكُنَا مَعًا.

7 And there was discord between the herdsmen of Abram and the herdsmen of Lot. At that time the Canaanites and the Perizzites were also living in the land.

7 فَحَدَثَتْ مُخَاصَمَةٌ بَيْنَ رُعَاةِ مَوَاشِي أَبْرَامَ وَرُعَاةِ مَوَاشِي لُوطٍ. وَكَانَ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ وَٱلْفَرِزِّيُّونَ حِينَئِذٍ سَاكِنِينَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ.

8 So Abram said to Lot, “Please let there be no contention between you and me, or between your herdsmen and my herdsmen. After all, we are kinsmen.

8 فَقَالَ أَبْرَامُ لِلُوطٍ: «لَا تَكُنْ مُخَاصَمَةٌ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ، وَبَيْنَ رُعَاتِي وَرُعَاتِكَ، لِأَنَّنَا نَحْنُ أَخَوَانِ.

9 Is not the whole land before you? Now separate yourself from me. If you go to the left, I will go to the right; if you go to the right, I will go to the left.”

9 أَلَيْسَتْ كُلُّ ٱلْأَرْضِ أَمَامَكَ؟ ٱعْتَزِلْ عَنِّي. إِنْ ذَهَبْتَ شِمَالًا فَأَنَا يَمِينًا، وَإِنْ يَمِينًا فَأَنَا شِمَالًا».

10 And Lot looked out and saw that the whole plain of the Jordan, all the way to Zoar, was well watered like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt. (This was before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)

10 فَرَفَعَ لُوطٌ عَيْنَيْهِ وَرَأَى كُلَّ دَائِرَةِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ أَنَّ جَمِيعَهَا سَقْيٌ، قَبْلَمَا أَخْرَبَ ٱلرَّبُّ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ، كَجَنَّةِ ٱلرَّبِّ، كَأَرْضِ مِصْرَ. حِينَمَا تَجِيءُ إِلَى صُوغَرَ.

11 So Lot chose the whole plain of the Jordan for himself and set out toward the east. And Abram and Lot parted company.

11 فَٱخْتَارَ لُوطٌ لِنَفْسِهِ كُلَّ دَائِرَةِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ، وَٱرْتَحَلَ لُوطٌ شَرْقًا. فَٱعْتَزَلَ ٱلْوَاحِدُ عَنِ ٱلْآخَرِ.

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

12 أَبْرَامُ سَكَنَ فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، وَلُوطٌ سَكَنَ فِي مُدُنِ ٱلدَّائِرَةِ، وَنَقَلَ خِيَامَهُ إِلَى سَدُومَ.

13 But the men of Sodom were wicked, sinning greatly against the LORD.

13 وَكَانَ أَهْلُ سَدُومَ أَشْرَارًا وَخُطَاةً لَدَى ٱلرَّبِّ جِدًّا.

14 After Lot had departed, the LORD said to Abram, “Now lift up your eyes from the place where you are, and look to the north and south and east and west,

14 وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِأَبْرَامَ، بَعْدَ ٱعْتِزَالِ لُوطٍ عَنْهُ: «ٱرْفَعْ عَيْنَيْكَ وَٱنْظُرْ مِنَ ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي أَنْتَ فِيهِ شِمَالًا وَجَنُوبًا وَشَرْقًا وَغَرْبًا،

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

15 لِأَنَّ جَمِيعَ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتَ تَرَى لَكَ أُعْطِيهَا وَلِنَسْلِكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

16 I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth, so that if one could count the dust of the earth, then your offspring could be counted.

16 وَأَجْعَلُ نَسْلَكَ كَتُرَابِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، حَتَّى إِذَا ٱسْتَطَاعَ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَعُدَّ تُرَابَ ٱلْأَرْضِ فَنَسْلُكَ أَيْضًا يُعَدُّ.

17 Get up and walk around the land, through its length and breadth, for I will give it to you.”

17 قُمِ ٱمْشِ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ طُولَهَا وَعَرْضَهَا، لِأَنِّي لَكَ أُعْطِيهَا».

18 So Abram moved his tent and went to live near the Oaks of Mamre at Hebron, where he built an altar to the LORD.

18 فَنَقَلَ أَبْرَامُ خِيَامَهُ وَأَتَى وَأَقَامَ عِنْدَ بَلُّوطَاتِ مَمْرَا ٱلَّتِي فِي حَبْرُونَ، وَبَنَى هُنَاكَ مَذْبَحًا لِلرَّبِّ.
