| 1 ܘܣܠ̣ܩ ܐܒܪܡ ܡܢ ܡܨܪܝܢ. ܗ̣ܘ ܘܐܢܬܬܗ ܘܟܠ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ. ܘܠܘܛ ܥܡܗ ܠܬܝܡܢܐ. | 1 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south. |
| 2 ܘܐܒܪܡ ܥܬܪ ܛܒ ܒܩܢܝܢܐ ܘܒܣܐܡܐ ܘܒܕܗܒܐ. | 2 And he was very rich in possession of gold and silver. |
| 3 ܘܐܙܠ ܠܡܫܩ̈ܠܢܘܗܝ ܡܢ ܬܝܡܢܐ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܒܝܬ ܐܝܠ. ܥܕܡܐ ܠܐܬܪܐ ܕܢܩܫ̣ ܗܘܐ ܬܡܢ ܡܫܟܢܗ ܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ. ܒܝܢ̈ܬ ܒܝܬ ܐܝܠ ܠܒܝܬ ܥܝ. | 3 And he returned by the way that he came, from the south to Bethel, to the place where before he had pitched his tent between Bethel and Hai: |
| 4 ܠܐܬܪܐ ܕܡܕܒܚܐ ܕܥܒ̣ܕ ܗܘܐ ܬܡܢ ܒܩܕܡܝܬܐ. ܘܩ̣ܪܐ ܬܡܢ ܐܒܪܡ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ. | 4 In the place of the altar which he had made before; and there he called upon the name of the Lord. |
| 5 ܘܐܦ ܠܠܘܛ ܕܐܙܠ ܥܡ ܐܒܪܡ. ܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܥܢܐ ܘܬܘܪ̈ܐ. ܘܡܫ̈ܟܢܐ ܣܘܓܐܐ ܕܛܒ. | 5 But Lot also, who was with Abram, had flocks of sheep, and herds of beasts, and tents. |
| 6 ܘܠܐ ܡܣܝܒܪܐ ܗܘܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܗ̇ܝ ܠܡܬܒ ܐܟܚܕܐ. ܡܛܠ ܕܣܓܝ ܗܘܐ ܩܢܝܢܗܘܢ ܛܒ . ܘܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܡܬܒ ܐܟܚܕܐ. | 6 Neither was the land able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, and they could not dwell together. |
| 7 ܘܗܘܬ ܡܨܘܬܐ ܒܝܬ ܪ̈ܥܘܬܐ ܕܩܢܝܢܗ ܕܐܒܪܡ. ܠܒܝܬ ܪ̈ܥܘܬܐ ܕܩܢܝܢܗ ܕܠܘܛ. ܘܟܢܥ̈ܢܝܐ ܘܦܪ̈ܙܝܐ ܥܕܟܝܠ ܝܬܒܝܢ ܒܐܪܥܐ. | 7 Whereupon also there arose a strife between the herdsmen of Abram and of Lot. And at that time the Chanaanite and the Pherezite dwelled in that country. |
| 8 ܘܐܡ̣ܪ ܐܒܪܡ ܠܠܘܛ. ܠܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܡܨܘܬܐ ܒܝܢ̈ܝ ܘܠܟ. ܘܒܝܬ ܪ̈ܥܘܬܝ ܠܪ̈ܥܘܬܟ. ܡܛܠ ܕܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܐܚ̈ܐ ܚܢܢ. | 8 Abram therefore said to Lot: Let there be no quarrel, I beseech thee, between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen: for we are brethren. |
| 9 ܗܐ ܟܠܗ̇ ܐܪܥܐ ܩܕܡܝܟ. ܦܪܘܫ ܡܢܝ. ܐܢ ܐܢܬ ܠܝܡܝܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܣܡܠܐ. ܘܐܢ ܐܢܬ ܠܣܡܠܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܝܡܝܢܐ. | 9 Behold the whole land is before thee: depart from me I pray thee: if thou wilt go to the left hand, I will take the right: if thou choose the right hand, I will pass to the left. |
| 10 ܘܐܪܝܡ ܠܘܛ ܥܝܢ̈ܘܗܝ. ܘܚ̣ܙܐ ܟܠܗ̇ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܝܘܪܕܢܢ. ܕܟܠܗ̇ ܒܝܬ ܫܩܝܐ ܗܝ. ܩܕܡ ܕܢܚܒܠ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܣܕܘܡ ܘܠܥܡܘܪܐ ܐܝܟ ܦܪܕܝܣܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ. ܘܐܝܟ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܡܨܪܝܢ ܕܒܡܥܠܢܐ ܕܨܥܢ . | 10 And Lot, lifting up his eyes, saw all the country about the Jordan, which was watered throughout, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrha, as the paradise of the Lord, and like Egypt as one comes to Segor. |
| 11 ܘܓܒ̣ܐ ܠܗ ܠܘܛ ܟܠܗ̇ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܝܘܪܕܢܢ. ܘܫ̣ܩܠ ܠܘܛ ܡܢ ܡܕܢܚܐ. ܘܦܪܫܘ ܓܒܪ ܡܢ ܐܚܘܗܝ. | 11 And Lot chose to himself the country about the Jordan, and he departed from the east: and they were separated one brother from the other. |
| 12 ܐܒܪܡ ܝܬ̣ܒ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܕܟܢܥܢ. ܘܠܘܛ ܝܬ̣ܒ ܒܩܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܕܟܟܪ. ܘܝܪܬ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܣܕܘܡ. | 12 Abram dwelt in the land of Chanaan; and Lot abode in the towns that were about the Jordan, and dwelt in Sodom. |
| 13 ܘܐܢܫܐ ܕܣܕܘܡ ܒܝܫ̈ܝܢ ܘܚ̈ܛܝܝܢ ܛܒ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ. | 13 And the men of Sodom were very wicked, and sinners before the face of the Lord, beyond measure. |
| 14 ܘܐܡ̣ܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܐܒܪܡ. ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܕܦܪܫ̣ ܠܘܛ ܡܢ ܠܘܬܗ. ܐܪܝܡ ܥܝܢ̈ܝܟ ܘܚܙܝ ܡܢ ܐܬܪܐ ܕܐܢܬ ܒܗ. ܠܓܪܒܝܐ ܘܠܬܝܡܢܐ ܘܠܡܕܢܚܐ ܘܠܡܥܪܒܐ. | 14 And the Lord said to Abram, after Lot was separated from him: Lift up thy eyes, and look from the place wherein thou now art, to the north and to the south, to the east and to the west. |
| 15 ܡܛܠ ܕܟܠܗ̇ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܚ̇ܙܐ ܐܢܬ. ܠܟ ܐܬܠܝܗ̇ ܘܠܙܪܥܟ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܥܠܡ. | 15 All the land which thou seest, I will give to thee, and to thy seed for ever. |
| 16 ܘܐܥܒܕܝܘܗܝ ܠܙܪܥܟ ܐܝܟ ܥܦܪܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ. ܕܐܢ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܬ ܠܡܡܢܐ ܥܦܪܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ. ܐܦ ܙܪܥ̇ܟ ܢܬܡܢܐ. | 16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: if any man be able to number the dust of the earth, he shall be able to number thy seed also. |
| 17 ܩܘܡ ܗܠܟ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܠܐܘܪܟܗ̇ ܘܠܦܬܝܗ̇. ܡܛܠ ܕܠܟ ܐܬܠܝܗ̇. | 17 Arise and walk through the land in the length, and in the breadth thereof: for I will give it to thee. |
| 18 ܘܐܬ̣ܐ ܐܒܪܡ. ܘܥܠ ܘܝܬ̣ܒ ܒܝܬ ܒܠܘܛܐ ܕܡܡܪܐ ܐܡܘܪܝܐ . ܕܒܚܒܪܘܢ. ܘܒܢ̣ܐ ܬܡܢ ܡܕܒܚܐ ܠܡܪܝܐ. | 18 So Abram removing his tent came and dwelt by the vale of Mambre, which is in Hebron: and he built there an altar to the Lord. |
