Genesis 13
1 Therfore Abram stiede fro Egipt, he, and his wijf, and alle thingis that he hadde; and Loth stiede with hym, to the south coost.
亚伯兰带着他的妻子与罗得，并一切所有的，都从埃及上南地去。
2 Forsothe he was ful riche in possessyoun of siluer and of gold.
亚伯兰的金、银、牲畜极多。
3 And he turnede ayen bi the weye in which he cam fro the south in to Bethel, `til to the place, in which bifore he hadde sett tabernacle, bitwixe Bethel and Hay,
他从南地渐渐往伯特利去，到了伯特利和艾的中间，就是从前支搭帐棚的地方，
4 in the place of the auter which he made bifore, and inwardli clepide there the name of the Lord.
也是他起先筑坛的地方；他又在那里求告耶和华的名。
5 But also flockis of scheep, and droues of oxun, and tabernaclis weren to Loth, that was with Abram;
与亚伯兰同行的罗得也有牛群、羊群、帐棚。
6 and the lond miyte not take hem, that thei schulden dwelle togidre, for the catel of hem was myche, and thei miyten not dwelle in comyn.
那地容不下他们；因为他们的财物甚多，使他们不能同居。
7 Wherfor also strijf was maad bitwixe the keperis of flockis of Abram and of Loth. Forsothe Chananei and Feresei dwelliden in that lond in that tyme.
当时，迦南人与比利洗人在那地居住。亚伯兰的牧人和罗得的牧人相争。
8 Therfor Abram seide to Loth, Y biseche, that no strijf be bitwixe me and thee, and bitwixe my scheepherdis and thi scheepherdis; for we ben britheren.
亚伯兰就对罗得说：“你我不可相争，你的牧人和我的牧人也不可相争，因为我们是骨肉。
9 Lo! al the lond is bifore thee, Y biseche, departe thou fro me; if thou go to the left side, Y schal holde the riyt side; if thou chese the riyt side, Y schal go to the left side.
遍地不都在你眼前吗？请你离开我：你向左，我就向右；你向右，我就向左。”
10 And so Loth reiside hise iyen, and seiy aboute al the cuntrei of Jordan, which was al moistid, bifor that the Lord distriede Sodom and Gomorre, as paradis of the Lord, and as Egipt, as men comen in to Segor.
罗得举目看见约旦河的全平原，直到琐珥，都是滋润的，那地在耶和华未灭所多玛、蛾摩拉以先如同耶和华的园子，也像埃及地。
11 And Loth chees to him the cuntre aboute Jordan, and departide fro the eest; and thei weren departid ech fro his brother.
于是罗得选择约旦河的全平原，往东迁移；他们就彼此分离了。
12 Abram dwellide in the lond of Chanaan; sotheli Loth dwellide in townes aboute Jordan, and wonide in Sodom.
亚伯兰住在迦南地，罗得住在平原的城邑，渐渐挪移帐棚，直到所多玛。
13 Forsothe men of Sodom weren ful wickid, and synneris greetly bifore the Lord.
所多玛人在耶和华面前罪大恶极。
14 And the Lord seide to Abram, aftir that Loth was departid fro him, Reise thin iyen forth riyt, and se fro the place in which thou art now, to the north and south, to the eest and west;
罗得离别亚伯兰以后，耶和华对亚伯兰说：“从你所在的地方，你举目向东西南北观看；
15 Y schal yyue al the lond which thou seest to thee and to thi seed, til in to with outen ende.
凡你所看见的一切地，我都要赐给你和你的后裔，直到永远。
16 And Y schal make thi seed as the dust of erthe; if ony man may noumbre the dust of erthe, also he schal mowe noumbre thi seed.
我也要使你的后裔如同地上的尘沙那样多，人若能数算地上的尘沙才能数算你的后裔。
17 Therfor rise thou, and passe thorou the lond in his lengthe and breede, for Y schal yyue it to thee.
你起来，纵横走遍这地，因为我必把这地赐给你。”
18 Therfor Abram, mouynge his tabernacle, cam and dwellide bisidis the valei of Mambre, which is in Ebron; and he bildide there an auter to the Lord.
亚伯兰就搬了帐棚，来到希伯 、幔利的橡树那里居住，在那里为耶和华筑了一座坛。
