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。
Therfore Abram stiede fro Egipt, he, and his wijf, and alle thingis that he hadde; and Loth stiede with hym, to the south coost.
2 亞巴郎有許多牲畜和金銀。
Forsothe he was ful riche in possessyoun of siluer and of 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 turnede ayen bi the weye in which he cam fro the south in to Bethel, `til to the place, in which bifore he hadde sett tabernacle, bitwixe Bethel and Hay,
4 亦即他先前築了祭壇，呼求上主之名的地方。
in the place of the auter which he made bifore, and inwardli clepide there the name of the Lord.
5 與亞巴郎同行的羅特，也有羊群、牛群和帳幕，
But also flockis of scheep, and droues of oxun, and tabernaclis weren to Loth, that was with Abram;
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。
and the lond miyte not take hem, that thei schulden dwelle togidre, for the catel of hem was myche, and thei miyten not dwelle in comyn.
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。
Wherfor also strijf was maad bitwixe the keperis of flockis of Abram and of Loth. Forsothe Chananei and Feresei dwelliden in that lond in that tyme.
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。
Therfor Abram seide to Loth, Y biseche, that no strijf be bitwixe me and thee, and bitwixe my scheepherdis and thi scheepherdis; for we ben britheren.
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。」
Lo! al the lond is bifore thee, Y biseche, departe thou fro me; if thou go to the left side, Y schal holde the riyt side; if thou chese the riyt side, Y schal go to the left side.
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 so Loth reiside hise iyen, and seiy aboute al the cuntrei of Jordan, which was al moistid, bifor that the Lord distriede Sodom and Gomorre, as paradis of the Lord, and as Egipt, as men comen in to Segor.
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：
And Loth chees to him the cuntre aboute Jordan, and departide fro the eest; and thei weren departid ech fro his brother.
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 dwellide in the lond of Chanaan; sotheli Loth dwellide in townes aboute Jordan, and wonide in Sodom.
13 索多瑪人在上主面前罪大惡極。
Forsothe men of Sodom weren ful wickid, and synneris greetly bifore the Lord.
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 Lord seide to Abram, aftir that Loth was departid fro him, Reise thin iyen forth riyt, and se fro the place in which thou art now, to the north and south, to the eest and west;
15 凡你看見的地方，我都要永遠賜給你和你的後裔。
Y schal yyue al the lond which thou seest to thee and to thi seed, til in to with outen ende.
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 Y schal make thi seed as the dust of erthe; if ony man may noumbre the dust of erthe, also he schal mowe noumbre thi seed.
17 你起來，縱橫走遍這地，因為我要將這地賜給你。」
Therfor rise thou, and passe thorou the lond in his lengthe and breede, for Y schal yyue it to thee.
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。
Therfor Abram, mouynge his tabernacle, cam and dwellide bisidis the valei of Mambre, which is in Ebron; and he bildide there an auter to the Lord.
