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.
Subió, pues, Abram desde Egipto hacia el Neguev con su esposa, Lot y todo lo que poseía.
2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, and silver, and gold.
Abram era muy rico en ganado, en plata y en oro.
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,
Anduvo en sus jornadas desde el Neguev hasta Bet-ʼEl, al lugar donde plantó su tienda al comienzo, entre Bet-ʼEl y Hai,
4 to the place of the altar, which he built there at first, and Abram there called on the name of the Lord.
al lugar del altar que antes hizo. Allí Abram invocó el Nombre de Yavé.
5 And Lot who went out with Abram had sheep, and oxen, and tents.
También Lot, quien iba con Abram, tenía rebaños, ganado vacuno y tiendas.
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.
Pero la tierra no era suficiente para que ellos vivieran juntos, porque sus posesiones eran muchas. Ya no podían vivir juntos.
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.
Hubo disputa entre los pastores del ganado de Abram y los de Lot. En aquel tiempo el cananeo y el ferezeo habitaban en la tierra.
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.
Y Abram dijo a Lot: Te ruego que no haya contienda entre tú y yo, ni entre mis pastores y tus pastores, pues somos hermanos.
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.
¿No está toda esta tierra delante de ti? Te ruego que te separes de mí. Si vas a la izquierda, yo iré a la derecha, y si [vas] a la derecha, yo iré a la izquierda.
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.
Lot levantó sus ojos y vio toda la llanura del Jordán, la cual era toda de regadío, como el huerto de Yavé, como la tierra de Egipto en dirección a Zoar. [Esto fue] antes que Yavé destruyera a Sodoma y Gomorra
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.
Lot escogió toda la llanura del Jordán y salió luego hacia el oriente. Se separaron el uno del otro.
12 And Lot lived in a city of the neighbouring people, and pitched his tent in Sodom.
Abram vivió en tierra de Canaán. Lot vivió en las ciudades de la llanura y sus tiendas fueron plantadas hasta Sodoma.
13 But the men of Sodom were evil, and exceedingly sinful before God.
Pero la gente de Sodoma era muy perversa y pecadora contra Yavé.
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;
Después que Lot se separó de su lado, Yavé dijo a Abram: Ahora levanta tus ojos y desde el lugar donde estás mira hacia el norte, el Neguev, el oriente y hacia el mar,
15 for all the land which you see, I will give it to you and to your seed for ever.
porque toda la tierra que tú ves la daré a ti y a tu descendencia para siempre.
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.
Mira, tu descendencia será como el polvo de la tierra. Si alguien puede contar el polvo de la tierra, tu descendencia podrá ser contada.
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.
Levántate, recorre esta tierra a lo largo y a lo ancho, pues te la daré.
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.
Entonces Abram movió su tienda y vivió en el robledal de Mamre que está en Hebrón. Allí edificó un altar a Yavé.
