Genesis 13
1 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, towards the south.
Ascendit ergo Abram de Aegypto, ipse et uxor eius, et omnia quae habebat, et Lot cum eo ad australem plagam.
2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
Erat autem dives valde in possessione auri et argenti.
3 And he went on his journeys from the south as far as Bethel; as far as the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai;
Reversusque est per iter, quo venerat, a meridie in Bethel usque ad locum ubi prius fixerat tabernaculum inter Bethel et Hai:
4 to the place of the altar that he had made there at the first. And there Abram called on the name of Jehovah.
in loco altaris quod fecerat prius, et invocavit ibi nomen Domini.
5 And Lot also who went with Abram had flocks, and herds, and tents.
Sed et Lot qui erat cum Abram, fuerunt greges ovium, et armenta, et tabernacula.
6 And the land could not support them, that they might dwell together, for their property was great; and they could not dwell together.
Nec poterat eos capere terra, ut habitarent simul: erat quippe substantia eorum multa, et nequibant habitare communiter.
7 And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram's cattle and the herdsmen of Lot's cattle. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite were dwelling then in the land.
Unde et facta est rixa inter pastores gregum Abram et Lot. Eo autem tempore Chananaeus et Pherezaeus habitabant in terra illa.
8 And Abram said to Lot, I pray thee let there be no contention between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen, for we are brethren.
Dixit ergo Abram ad Lot: Ne quaeso sit iurgium inter me et te, et inter pastores meos, et pastores tuos: fratres enim sumus.
9 Is not the whole land before thee? Separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if to the left, then I will take the right; and if to the right, then I will take the left.
Ecce universa terra coram te est: recede a me, obsecro: si ad sinistram ieris, ego dexteram tenebo: si tu dexteram elegeris, ego ad sinistram pergam.
10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of the Jordan that it was thoroughly watered, before Jehovah had destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah; as the garden of Jehovah, like the land of Egypt, as one goes to Zoar.
Elevatis itaque Lot oculis, vidit omnem circa regionem Iordanis, quae universa irrigabatur antequam subverteret Dominus Sodomam et Gomorrham, sicut paradisus Domini, et sicut Aegyptus venientibus in Segor.
11 And Lot chose for himself all the plain of the Jordan; and Lot went toward the east. And they separated the one from the other:
Elegitque sibi Lot regionem circa Iordanem, et recessit ab Oriente: divisique sunt alterutrum a fratre suo.
12 Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan; and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain, and pitched tents as far as Sodom.
Abram habitavit in terra Chanaan: Lot vero moratus est in oppidis, quae erant circa Iordanem, et habitavit in Sodomis.
13 And the people of Sodom were wicked, and great sinners before Jehovah.
Homines autem Sodomitae pessimi erant, et peccatores coram Domino nimis.
14 And Jehovah said to Abram, after that Lot had separated himself from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art, northward and southward and eastward and westward;
Dixitque Dominus ad Abram, postquam divisus est ab eo Lot: Leva oculos tuos in directum, et vide a loco, in quo nunc es, ad aquilonem et meridiem, ad orientem et occidentem.
15 for all the land that thou seest will I give to thee, and to thy seed for ever.
Omnem terram, quam conspicis, tibi dabo, et semini tuo usque in sempiternum.
16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth, so that if any one can number the dust of the earth, thy seed also will be numbered.
Faciamque semen tuum sicut pulverem terrae: si quis potest hominum numerare pulverem terrae, semen quoque tuum numerare poterit.
17 Arise, walk through the land according to the length of it and according to the breadth of it; for I will give it to thee.
Surge ergo, et perambula terram in longitudine, et in latitudine sua: quia tibi daturus sum eam.
18 Then Abram moved [his] tents, and came and dwelt by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron. And he built there an altar to Jehovah.
Movens igitur tabernaculum suum Abram, venit et habitavit iuxta convallem Mambre, quae est in Hebron: aedificavitque ibi altare Domino.
