創世記 13
1 亞巴郎帶了妻子和他所有的一切，與羅特一同由埃及上來，往乃革布去。
Than Abram departed out of Egipte both he and his wyfe and all that he had and Lot wyth hym vnto the south.
2 亞巴郎有許多牲畜和金銀。
Abram was very rych in catell syluer and gold.
3 他由乃革布逐漸往貝特耳移動帳幕，到了先前他在貝特耳與哈依之間，支搭帳幕的地方，
And he went on his iourney fro the south even vnto BETHEL ad vnto the place where his tente was at the fyrst tyme betwene BETHEL and Ay
4 亦即他先前築了祭壇，呼求上主之名的地方。
and vnto the place of the aulter which he made before. And there called Abram vpon the name of the LORde.
5 與亞巴郎同行的羅特，也有羊群、牛群和帳幕，
Lot also which went wyth hym had shepe catell and tentes:
6 那地方容不下他們住在一起，因為他們的產業太多，無法住在一起。
so that the londe was not abill to receaue them that they myght dwell together for the substance of their riches was so greate that they coude not dwell together
7 牧放亞巴郎牲畜的人與牧放羅特牲畜的人，時常發生口角－－當時客納罕人和培黎齊人尚住在那裏。
And there fell a stryfe betwene the herdmen of Abrams catell and the herdmen of Lots catell. Moreouer the Cananytes and the Pherysites dwelled at that tyme in the lande.
8 亞巴郎遂對羅特說：「在我與你，我的牧人與你的牧人之間，請不要發生口角，因為我們是至親。
Than sayd Abram vnto Lot: let there be no stryfe I praye the betwene the and me and betwene my herdmen and thyne for we be brethren.
9 所有的地方不是都在你面前嗎﹖請你與我分開。你若往左，我就往右；你若往右，我就往左。」
Ys not all the hole lande before the? Departe I praye the fro me. Yf thou wylt take the lefte hande I wyll take the right: Or yf thou take the right hande I wyll take the left.
10 羅特舉目看見約但河整個平原，直到左哈爾一帶全有水灌溉，－－這是在上主消滅索多瑪和哈摩辣以前的事，－－有如上主的樂園，有如埃及地。
And Lot lyft vp hys eyes and beheld all the contre aboute Iordane which was a plenteous contre of water every where before the LORde destroyed Sodoma and Gomorra. Even as the garden of the LORde and as the lande of Egipte tyll thou come to Zoar.
11 羅特選了約但河的整個平原，遂興東方遷移；這樣，他們就彼此分開了：
Than Lot chose all the costes of Iordane ad toke hys iourney from the east. And so departed the one brother from the other.
12 亞巴郎住在客納罕地；羅特住在平原的城市中，漸漸移動帳幕，直到索多瑪。
Abram dwelled in the lande of Canaan. And lot in the cytes of the playne and tented tyll he came to Sodome.
13 索多瑪人在上主面前罪大惡極。
But the men of sodome were wyked and synned exceadyngly agenst the LORde.
14 羅特與亞巴郎分離以後，上主對亞巴郎說：「請你舉起眼來，由你所在的地方，向東西南北觀看；
And the LORde sayed vnto Abram after that Lot was departed from hym: lyfte vp thyne eyes and loke from ye place where thou art northward southward eastward and westward
15 凡你看見的地方，我都要永遠賜給你和你的後裔。
for all the lande which thou seiste wyll I gyue vnto the and to thy seed for ever.
16 我要使你的後裔有如地上的灰塵；如果人能數清地上的灰塵，也能數清你的後裔。
And I wyll make thy seed as the dust of the erth: so that yf a ma can nombre the dust of the erth than shall thy seed also be nombred.
17 你起來，縱橫走遍這地，因為我要將這地賜給你。」
Aryse and walke aboute in the lande in the length of it ad in the bredth for I wyll geue it vnto the.
18 於是亞巴郎移動了帳幕，來到赫貝龍的瑪默勒橡樹區居住，在那裏給上主築了一座祭壇。
Than Abra toke downe hys tente and went and dwelled in the okegrove of Mamre which is in Ebron and buylded there an altar to the LORde.
