Genesis 13
1 And Abram goes up from Egypt (he and his wife, and all that he has, and Lot with him) toward the south;
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 [is] exceedingly wealthy in livestock, in silver, and in gold.
アブラム甚家畜と金銀に富り
3 And he goes on his journeys from the south, even to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the commencement, between Bethel and Hai—
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 made there at the first, and there Abram preaches in the Name of YHWH.
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 also to Lot, who is going with Abram, there has been 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 has not permitted them to dwell together, for their substance has been much, and they have not been able to dwell 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 is a strife between those feeding Abram’s livestock and those feeding Lot’s livestock; and the Canaanite and the Perizzite [are] then dwelling in 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 says to Lot, “Please let there not be strife between me and you, and between my shepherds and your shepherds, for we [are] men—brothers.
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 Is not all the land before you? Please be parted from me; if to the left, then I to the right; and if to the right, then I 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 lifts up his eyes, and sees the whole circuit of the Jordan that it [is] all a watered country (before YHWH’s destroying Sodom and Gomorrah, as YHWH’s garden, as the land of Egypt), in your coming toward Zoar,
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 chooses for himself the whole circuit of the Jordan; and Lot journeys from the east, and they are parted—a man from his companion;
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 Abram has dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot has dwelt in the cities of the circuit, and moves [his] tent to 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 and the men of Sodom [are] evil, and sinners before YHWH exceedingly.
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 YHWH said to Abram, after Lot’s being parted from him, “Now lift up your eyes and look from the place where you [are], northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward;
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 the whole of the land which you are seeing, I give it to you and to your Seed for all time.
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 have set your seed as dust of the earth, so that, if one is able to number the dust of the earth, even your seed is 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 rise, go up and down through the land, to its length, and to its breadth, for to you I give it.”
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 moves [his] tent, and comes, and dwells among the oaks of Mamre, which [are] in Hebron, and builds there an altar to YHWH.
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
