Postanak 13

Lernen

   

1 Iz Egipta Abram ode gore u Negeb sa svojom ženom i sa svime što je imao. I Lot bješe s njim.

2 Abram je bio veoma bogat stokom, srebrom i zlatom.

3 Od postaje do postaje iz Negeba išao je do Betela,

4 do mjesta na kojem je bio postavio šator, između Betela i Aja, gdje je prije podigao žrtvenik. Tu je Abram zazivao ime Jahvino.

5 I Lot, koji iđaše s Abramom, imaše ovaca, goveda i šatora,

6 tako da ih kraj ne bi izdržavao kad bi zajedno ostali. Njihovo je blago bilo veliko, te zajedno nisu mogli boraviti.

7 Svađa je nastajala između pastira stoke Abramove i pastira stoke Lotove. Tada su zemlju nastavali Kanaanci i Perižani.

8 Zato Abram reče Lotu: "Neka ne bude svađe između mene i tebe, između pastira mojih i tvojih - tÓa mi smo braća!

9 Nije li sva zemlja pred tobom? Odvoji se od mene! Kreneš li ti nalijevo, ja ću nadesno; ako ćeš ti nadesno, ja ću nalijevo."

10 Lot podiže oči i vidje kako je dobro posvuda natapana sva Jordanska dolina, kao kakav vrt Jahvin, kao zemlja egipatska prema Soaru. - Bilo je to prije nego što je Jahve uništio Sodomu i Gomoru. -

11 Lot izabere za se svu Jordansku dolinu i ode na istok. Tako se odijele jedan od drugoga.

12 Abram ostade u kanaanskoj zemlji, dok je Lot živio po mjestima u dolini i razapeo svoje šatore do Sodome.

13 A žitelji Sodome bijahu veoma opaki, sami grešnici protiv Jahve.

14 Jahve reče Abramu, pošto se Lot od njega rastao: "Oči svoje podigni i s mjesta na kojem si pogledaj prema sjeveru, jugu, istoku i zapadu;

15 jer svu zemlju što je možeš vidjeti dat ću tebi i tvome potomstvu zauvijek.

16 Potomstvo ću tvoje učiniti kao prah na zemlji. Ako tko mogne prebrojiti prah zemlje, i tvoje će potomstvo moći prebrojiti.

17 Na noge! Prođi zemljom uzduž i poprijeko jer ću je tebi predati."

18 Abram digne šatore i dođe pa se naseli kod hrasta Mamre, što je u Hebronu. Ondje podigne žrtvenik Jahvi.

1535. Genesis 13

1. And Abram went up out of Egypt, he and his wife, and everything he had, and Lot with him, towards the south.

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

3. And he went in accordance with his journeys from the south and even to Bethel, even to the place where his tent had been at the start, between Bethel and Ai,

4. To the place of the altar that he made there in the beginning; and there Abram called on the name of Jehovah.

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

6. And the land was unable to bear them, that they might dwell together, for their acquisitions were great, and they could not dwell together.

7. And there was strife between Abram's herdsmen and Lot's herdsmen. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite were then dwelling in the land.

8. And Abram said to Lot, Let there not be strife, now, between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen, for we are men who are brothers.

9. Is not the whole land before you? Separate yourself, now, from me. If you go to the left then I will go to the right, but if you go to the right I will go to the left.

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

11. And Lot chose for himself all the plain of Jordan; and Lot travelled from the east, and they were separated, man from his brother.

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

13. And the men (vir) of Sodom were evil and great sinners before Jehovah.

14. And Jehovah said to Abram after Lot had been separated from him, Lift up your eyes, now, and look from the place where you are, towards the north, and towards the south, and towards the east, and towards the west.

15. For all the land which you see I will give to you, and to your seed even for ever.

16. And I will make your seed as the dust of the earth, so that if anyone can number the dust of the earth, so also will your seed be numbered.

17. Arise, walk through the land, the length of it and the breadth of it, for to you will I give it.

18. And Abram moved his tent, and came and dwelt in the oak-groves of Mamre which are in Hebron, and there he built an altar to Jehovah.

CONTENTS

The subject in this chapter is the external Man in the Lord which was to be joined to His Internal Man. The external Man is the Human Essence, the Internal the Divine Essence. The former is represented here by Lot, but the latter by Abram.
