創世記 13
1 亞伯蘭帶着他的妻子與羅得，並一切所有的，都從埃及上南地去。
Than Abram departed out of Egipte both he and his wyfe and all that he had and Lot wyth hym vnto the south.
2 亞伯蘭的金、銀、牲畜極多。
Abram was very rych in catell syluer and gold.
3 他從南地漸漸往伯特利去，到了伯特利和艾的中間，就是從前支搭帳棚的地方，
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 也是他起先築壇的地方；他又在那裏求告耶和華的名。
and vnto the place of the aulter which he made before. And there called Abram vpon the name of the LORde.
5 與亞伯蘭同行的羅得也有牛群、羊群、帳棚。
Lot also which went wyth hym had shepe catell and tentes:
6 那地容不下他們；因為他們的財物甚多，使他們不能同居。
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 當時，迦南人與比利洗人在那地居住。亞伯蘭的牧人和羅得的牧人相爭。
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 亞伯蘭就對羅得說：「你我不可相爭，你的牧人和我的牧人也不可相爭，因為我們是骨肉。
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 遍地不都在你眼前嗎？請你離開我：你向左，我就向右；你向右，我就向左。」
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 羅得舉目看見約旦河的全平原，直到瑣珥，都是滋潤的，那地在耶和華未滅所多瑪、蛾摩拉以先如同耶和華的園子，也像埃及地。
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 於是羅得選擇約旦河的全平原，往東遷移；他們就彼此分離了。
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 亞伯蘭住在迦南地，羅得住在平原的城邑，漸漸挪移帳棚，直到所多瑪。
Abram dwelled in the lande of Canaan. And lot in the cytes of the playne and tented tyll he came to Sodome.
13 所多瑪人在耶和華面前罪大惡極。
But the men of sodome were wyked and synned exceadyngly agenst the LORde.
14 羅得離別亞伯蘭以後，耶和華對亞伯蘭說：「從你所在的地方，你舉目向東西南北觀看；
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 凡你所看見的一切地，我都要賜給你和你的後裔，直到永遠。
for all the lande which thou seiste wyll I gyue vnto the and to thy seed for ever.
16 我也要使你的後裔如同地上的塵沙那樣多，人若能數算地上的塵沙才能數算你的後裔。
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，因為我必把這地賜給你。」
Aryse and walke aboute in the lande in the length of it ad in the bredth for I wyll geue it vnto the.
18 亞伯蘭就搬了帳棚，來到希伯崙幔利的橡樹那裏居住，在那裏為耶和華築了一座壇。
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.
