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.
SUBIÓ, pues, Abram de Egipto hacia el Mediodía, él, y su mujer, con todo lo que tenía, y con él Lot.
2 Now Abram was very rich in animals, in silver, and in gold.
Y Abram era riquísimo en ganado, en plata y oro.
3 He continued on his journey from the Negev to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been before, between Bethel and Ai.
Y volvió por sus jornadas [de la parte] del Mediodía hacia Bethel, hasta el lugar donde había estado antes su tienda entre Bethel y Hai;
4 He went to the place where the altar was that he had built previously. Here he called on the name of Yahweh.
Al lugar del altar que había hecho allí antes: é invocó allí Abram el nombre de Jehová.
5 Now Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had flocks, herds, and tents.
Y asimismo Lot, que andaba con Abram, tenía ovejas, y vacas, y tiendas.
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.
Y la tierra no podía darles para que habitasen juntos: porque su hacienda era mucha, y no podían morar en un mismo lugar.
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.
Y hubo contienda entre los pastores del ganado de Abram y los pastores del ganado de Lot: y el Cananeo y el Pherezeo habitaban entonces en la tierra.
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.
Entonces Abram dijo á Lot: No haya ahora altercado entre mí y ti, entre mis pastores y los tuyos, porque somos hermanos.
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.”
¿No está toda la tierra delante de ti? Yo te ruego que te apartes de mí. Si [fueres] á la mano izquierda, yo iré á la derecha: y si tú á la derecha, yo iré á la izquierda.
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.
Y alzó Lot sus ojos, y vió toda la llanura del Jordán, que toda ella era de riego, antes que destruyese Jehová á Sodoma y á Gomorra, como el huerto de Jehová, como la tierra de Egipto entrando en Zoar.
11 So Lot chose for himself all the plain of the Jordan and traveled east, and the relatives separated from each other.
Entonces Lot escogió para sí toda la llanura del Jordán: y partióse Lot de Oriente, y apartáronse el uno del otro.
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 asentó en la tierra de Canaán, y Lot asentó en las ciudades de la llanura, y fué poniendo sus tiendas hasta Sodoma.
13 Now the men of Sodom were very wicked sinners against Yahweh.
Mas los hombres de Sodoma eran malos y pecadores para con Jehová en gran manera.
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.
Y Jehová dijo á Abram, después que Lot se apartó de él: Alza ahora tus ojos, y mira desde el lugar donde estás hacia el Aquilón, y al Mediodía, y al Oriente y al Occidente;
15 All this land which you see, I will give to you and to your descendants forever.
Porque toda la tierra que ves, la daré á ti y á tu simiente para siempre.
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.
Y haré tu simiente como el polvo de la tierra: que si alguno podrá contar el polvo de la tierra, también tu simiente será contada.
17 Arise, walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I will give it to you.”
Levántate, ve por la tierra á lo largo de ella y á su ancho; porque á ti la tengo de dar.
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.
Abram, pues, removiendo su tienda, vino y moró en el alcornocal de Mamre, que es en Hebrón, y edificó allí altar á Jehová.
