Genesis 13
1 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the wilderness.
アブラム其妻および其有る諸の物と偕にエジプトを出て南の地に上れりロト彼と共にありき
2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, and silver, and gold.
アブラム甚家畜と金銀に富り
3 And he went [to the place] whence he came, into the wilderness as far as Baethel, as far as the place where his tent was before, between Baethel and Aggai,
彼南の地より其旅路に進てベテルに至りベテルとアイの間なる其以前に天幕を張たる處に至れり
4 to the place of the altar, which he built there at first, and Abram there called on the name of the Lord.
即ち彼が初に其處に築きたる壇のある處なり彼處にアブラム、ヱホバの名を龥り
5 And Lot who went out with Abram had sheep, and oxen, and tents.
アブラムと偕に行しロトも羊牛および天幕を有り
6 And the land was not large enough for them to live together, because their possessions were great; and the land was not large enough for them to live together.
其地は彼等を載て倶に居しむること能はざりき彼等は其所有多かりしに縁て倶に居ることを得ざりしなり
7 And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle, and the herdmen of Lot's cattle, and the Chananites and the Pherezites then inhabited the land.
斯有かばアブラムの家畜の牧者とロトの家畜の牧者の間に競爭ありきカナン人とペリジ人此時其地に居住り
8 And Abram said to Lot, Let there not be a strife between me and you, and between my herdmen and your herdmen, for we are brethren.
アブラム、ロトに言けるは我等は兄弟の人なれば請ふ我と汝の間およびわが牧者と汝の牧者の間に競爭あらしむる勿れ
9 Behold! is not the whole land before you? Separate yourself from me; if you [go] to the left, I will go to the right, and if you go to the right, I will go to the left.
地は皆爾の前にあるにあらずや請ふ我を離れよ爾若左にゆかば我右にゆかん又爾右にゆかば我左にゆかんと
10 And Lot having lifted up his eyes, observed all the country round about Jordan, that it was all watered, before God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrha, as the garden of the Lord, and as the land of Egypt, until you come to Zogora.
是に於てロト目を擧てヨルダンの凡ての低地を瞻望みけるにヱホバ、ソドムとゴモラとを滅し給はざりし前なりければゾアルに至るまであまねく善く潤澤ひてヱホバの園の如くエジプトの地の如くなりき
11 And Lot chose for himself all the country round Jordan, and Lot went from the east, and they were separated each from his brother. And Abram lived in the land of Chanaan.
ロト乃ちヨルダンの低地を盡く撰とりて東に徙れり斯彼等彼此に別たり
12 And Lot lived in a city of the neighbouring people, and pitched his tent in Sodom.
アブラムはカナンの地に住り又ロトは低地の諸邑に住み其天幕を遷してソドムに至れり
13 But the men of Sodom were evil, and exceedingly sinful before God.
ソドムの人は惡くしてヱホバの前に大なる罪人なりき
14 And God said to Abram after Lot was separated from him, Look up with your eyes, and behold from the place where you now are northward and southward, and eastward and seaward;
ロトのアブラムに別れし後ヱホバ、アブラムに言たまひけるは爾の目を擧て爾の居る處より西東北南を瞻望め
15 for all the land which you see, I will give it to you and to your seed for ever.
凡そ汝が觀る所の地は我之を永く爾と爾の裔に與べし
16 And I will make your seed like the dust of the earth; if any one is able to number the dust of the earth, then shall your seed be numbered.
我爾の後裔を地の塵沙の如くなさん若人地の塵沙を數ふることを得ば爾の後裔も數へらるべし
17 Arise and traverse the land, both in the length of it and in the breadth; for to you will I give it, and to your seed for ever.
爾起て縱横に其地を行き巡るべし我之を爾に與へんと
18 And Abram having removed his tent, came and lived by the oak of Mambre, which was in Chebrom, and he there built an altar to the Lord.
アブラム遂に天幕を遷して來りヘブロンのマムレの橡林に住み彼處にてヱホバに壇を築けり
