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 south.
Ascendit ergo Abram de Ægypto, ipse et uxor eius, et omnia quæ 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 even to Beth-el, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beth-el and Hai;
Reversusque est per iter, quo venerat, a meridie in Bethel usque ad locum ubi prius fixerat tabernaculum inter Bethel et Hai:
4 Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.
in loco altaris quod fecerat prius, et invocavit ibi nomen Domini.
5 And Lot also, which 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 was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that 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 a strife between the herdmen of Abram’s cattle and the herdmen of Lot’s cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.
Unde et facta est rixa inter pastores gregum Abram et Lot. Eo autem tempore Chananæus et Pherezæus habitabant in terra illa.
8 And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we [be] brethren.
Dixit ergo Abram ad Lot: Ne quæso 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 [thou wilt take] the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if [thou depart] to the right hand, then I will go to 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 Jordan, that it [was] well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, [even] as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.
Elevatis itaque Lot oculis, vidit omnem circa regionem Iordanis, quæ universa irrigabatur antequam subverteret Dominus Sodomam et Gomorrham, sicut paradisus Domini, et sicut Ægyptus venientibus in Segor.
11 Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.
Elegitque sibi Lot regionem circa Iordanem, et recessit ab Oriente: divisique sunt alterutrum a fratre suo.
12 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched [his] tent toward Sodom.
Abram habitavit in terra Chanaan: Lot vero moratus est in oppidis, quæ erant circa Iordanem, et habitavit in Sodomis.
13 But the men of Sodom [were] wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.
Homines autem Sodomitæ pessimi erant, et peccatores coram Domino nimis.
14 And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated 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, et vide a loco, in quo nunc es, ad aquilonem et meridiem, ad orientem et occidentem.
15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, 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 a man can number the dust of the earth, [then] shall thy seed also be numbered.
Faciamque semen tuum sicut pulverem terræ: si quis potest hominum numerare pulverem terræ, semen quoque tuum numerare poterit.
17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.
Surge, et perambula terram in longitudine, et in latitudine sua: quia tibi daturus sum eam.
18 Then Abram removed [his] tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which [is] in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD.
Movens igitur tabernaculum suum Abram, venit et habitavit iuxta convallem Mambre, quæ est in Hebron: ædificavitque ibi altare Domino.
