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;
Ascendit ergo Abram de Aegypto, ipse et uxor eius, et omnia quae habebat, et Lot cum eo ad australem plagam.
2 and Abram [is] exceedingly wealthy in livestock, in silver, and in gold.
Erat autem dives valde in possessione auri et argenti.
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—
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 which he made there at the first, and there Abram preaches in the Name of YHWH.
in loco altaris quod fecerat prius, et invocavit ibi nomen Domini.
5 And also to Lot, who is going with Abram, there has been sheep and oxen and tents;
Sed et Lot qui erat cum Abram, fuerunt greges ovium, et armenta, et tabernacula.
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;
Nec poterat eos capere terra, ut habitarent simul: erat quippe substantia eorum multa, et nequibant habitare communiter.
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.
Unde et facta est rixa inter pastores gregum Abram et Lot. Eo autem tempore Chananaeus et Pherezaeus habitabant in terra illa.
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.
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 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.”
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 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,
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 chooses for himself the whole circuit of the Jordan; and Lot journeys from the east, and they are parted—a man from his companion;
Elegitque sibi Lot regionem circa Iordanem, et recessit ab Oriente: divisique sunt alterutrum a fratre suo.
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;
Abram habitavit in terra Chanaan: Lot vero moratus est in oppidis, quae erant circa Iordanem, et habitavit in Sodomis.
13 and the men of Sodom [are] evil, and sinners before YHWH exceedingly.
Homines autem Sodomitae pessimi erant, et peccatores coram Domino nimis.
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;
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 the whole of the land which you are seeing, I give it to you and to your Seed for all time.
Omnem terram, quam conspicis, tibi dabo, et semini tuo usque in sempiternum.
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;
Faciamque semen tuum sicut pulverem terrae: si quis potest hominum numerare pulverem terrae, semen quoque tuum numerare poterit.
17 rise, go up and down through the land, to its length, and to its breadth, for to you I give it.”
Surge ergo, et perambula terram in longitudine, et in latitudine sua: quia tibi daturus sum eam.
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.
Movens igitur tabernaculum suum Abram, venit et habitavit iuxta convallem Mambre, quae est in Hebron: aedificavitque ibi altare Domino.
