Genesis 13
1 So Abram went up from Egypt and went into the Negev, he, his wife, and all that he had. Lot also went with them.
Ascendit ergo Abram de Ægypto, ipse et uxor eius, et omnia quæ habebat, et Lot cum eo ad australem plagam.
2 Now Abram was very rich in animals, in silver, and in gold.
Erat autem dives valde in possessione auri et argenti.
3 He continued on his journey from the Negev to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been before, between Bethel and Ai.
Reversusque est per iter, quo venerat, a meridie in Bethel usque ad locum ubi prius fixerat tabernaculum inter Bethel et Hai:
4 He went to the place where the altar was that he had built previously. Here he called on the name of Yahweh.
in loco altaris quod fecerat prius, et invocavit ibi nomen Domini.
5 Now Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had flocks, herds, and tents.
Sed et Lot qui erat cum Abram, fuerunt greges ovium, et armenta, et tabernacula.
6 The land was not able to support them both living close together, because their possessions were very many, so that they could not stay together.
Nec poterat eos capere terra, ut habitarent simul: erat quippe substantia eorum multa, et nequibant habitare communiter.
7 Also, there was a dispute between the herdsmen of Abram's animals and the herdsmen of Lot's animals. The Canaanites and the Perizzites were living in the land at that time.
Unde et facta est rixa inter pastores gregum Abram et Lot. Eo autem tempore Chananæus et Pherezæus habitabant in terra illa.
8 So Abram said to Lot, “Let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen; after all, we are family.
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 you? Go ahead and separate yourself from me. If you go to the left, then I will go to the right. Or if you go to the right, 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 So Lot looked around, and saw that the whole plain of the Jordan was well watered everywhere all the way to Zoar, like the garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt. This was before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.
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 So Lot chose for himself all the plain of the Jordan and traveled east, and the relatives separated from each other.
Elegitque sibi Lot regionem circa Iordanem, et recessit ab Oriente: divisique sunt alterutrum a fratre suo.
12 Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived among the cities of the plain. He set up his tents as far away as Sodom.
Abram habitavit in terra Chanaan: Lot vero moratus est in oppidis, quæ erant circa Iordanem, et habitavit in Sodomis.
13 Now the men of Sodom were very wicked sinners against Yahweh.
Homines autem Sodomitæ pessimi erant, et peccatores coram Domino nimis.
14 Yahweh said to Abram after Lot had departed from him, “Look from the place where you are standing to the north, south, east, and west.
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 All this land which you see, I will give to you and to your descendants forever.
Omnem terram, quam conspicis, tibi dabo, et semini tuo usque in sempiternum.
16 I will make your descendants as abundant as the dust of the earth, so that if a man could count the dust of the earth, then your descendants could also be counted.
Faciamque semen tuum sicut pulverem terræ: si quis potest hominum numerare pulverem terræ, semen quoque tuum numerare poterit.
17 Arise, walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I will give it to you.”
Surge, et perambula terram in longitudine, et in latitudine sua: quia tibi daturus sum eam.
18 So Abram picked up his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and there built an altar to Yahweh.
Movens igitur tabernaculum suum Abram, venit et habitavit iuxta convallem Mambre, quæ est in Hebron: ædificavitque ibi altare Domino.
