Genesis 13
1 So Abram came up out of Egypt he and his wife and all that he had and Lot with him, towards 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 Now, Abram, was very rich, —in cattle, in silver and in gold.
アブラム甚家畜と金銀に富り
3 And he went his way, by his removals, from the South even as far as to Bethel, —as far as the place where his tent was at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai:
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 unto the place of the altar, which he made there at first, —and Abram called there, on the name of Yahweh.
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 Now, Lot also, who was going with Abram, had flocks and herds 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 suffered them not to dwell together, —because their substance had become, great, so that they could not 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 arose a strife betwixt the herdmen of Abram, and the herdmen of Lot. Now the Canaanite and the Perizzite, were 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 So then Abram said unto Lot Pray let not cause of strife arise betwixt me and thee, or betwixt my herdmen and thy herdmen; for brethren, are we.
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 thee? I pray thee, separate thyself from me, —if to the left hand, then I will go to the right, if to the right hand, then I will go 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 So Lot lifted up his eyes and beheld all the circuit of the Jordan, that the whole of it, was well-watered, —before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the Garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt, as thou enterest into 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 chose for himself all the circuit of the Jordan, so Lot brake up eastwards, —and they separated themselves, each man from his brother:
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, fixed his dwelling in the land of Canaan, —but, Lot, fixed his dwelling among the cities, of the circuit, and moved his tent as far as 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 Now, the men of Sodom were base and sinful, —against Yahweh, 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, Yahweh, said unto Abram after that Lot had separated himself from him, Lift up, I pray thee thine eyes and look, from the place where thou art, —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 all the land which thou art beholding—to thee, will I give it, and to thy seed unto times age-abiding;
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 will make thy seed as the dust of the earth, —so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, thy seed also, may be 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 in the land, to the length thereof and to the breadth thereof, for to thee, will 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 So Abram moved his tent and came in and dwelt among the oaks of Mamre, which were in Hebron, —and built there an altar to Yahweh.
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
