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。
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 亞伯蘭的金、銀、牲畜極多。
Forsothe he was ful riche in possessyoun of siluer and of 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 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 也是他起先築壇的地方；他又在那裏求告耶和華的名。
in the place of the auter which he made bifore, and inwardli clepide there the name of the Lord.
5 與亞伯蘭同行的羅得也有牛群、羊群、帳棚。
But also flockis of scheep, and droues of oxun, and tabernaclis weren to Loth, that was with Abram;
6 那地容不下他們；因為他們的財物甚多，使他們不能同居。
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 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。
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。
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 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。」
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 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 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。
And Loth chees to him the cuntre aboute Jordan, and departide fro the eest; and thei weren departid ech fro his brother.
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 dwellide in the lond of Chanaan; sotheli Loth dwellide in townes aboute Jordan, and wonide in Sodom.
13 所多瑪人在耶和華面前罪大惡極。
Forsothe men of Sodom weren ful wickid, and synneris greetly bifore the Lord.
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 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 凡你所看見的一切地，我都要賜給你和你的後裔，直到永遠。
Y schal yyue al the lond which thou seest to thee and to thi seed, til in to with outen ende.
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 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，因為我必把這地賜給你。」
Therfor rise thou, and passe thorou the lond in his lengthe and breede, for Y schal yyue it to thee.
18 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。
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.
