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.
Ascendit ergo Abram de Aegypto, ipse et uxor eius, et omnia quae habebat, et Lot cum eo ad australem plagam.
2 Forsothe he was ful riche in possessyoun of siluer and of gold.
Erat autem dives valde in possessione auri et argenti.
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,
Reversusque est per iter, quo venerat, a meridie in Bethel usque ad locum ubi prius fixerat tabernaculum inter Bethel et Hai:
4 in the place of the auter which he made bifore, and inwardli clepide there the name of the Lord.
in loco altaris quod fecerat prius, et invocavit ibi nomen Domini.
5 But also flockis of scheep, and droues of oxun, and tabernaclis weren to Loth, that was with Abram;
Sed et Lot qui erat cum Abram, fuerunt greges ovium, et armenta, et tabernacula.
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.
Nec poterat eos capere terra, ut habitarent simul: erat quippe substantia eorum multa, et nequibant habitare communiter.
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.
Unde et facta est rixa inter pastores gregum Abram et Lot. Eo autem tempore Chananaeus et Pherezaeus habitabant in terra illa.
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.
Dixit ergo Abram ad Lot: Ne quaeso sit iurgium inter me et te, et inter pastores meos, et pastores tuos: fratres enim sumus.
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.
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 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.
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 Loth chees to him the cuntre aboute Jordan, and departide fro the eest; and thei weren departid ech fro his brother.
Elegitque sibi Lot regionem circa Iordanem, et recessit ab Oriente: divisique sunt alterutrum a fratre suo.
12 Abram dwellide in the lond of Chanaan; sotheli Loth dwellide in townes aboute Jordan, and wonide in Sodom.
Abram habitavit in terra Chanaan: Lot vero moratus est in oppidis, quae erant circa Iordanem, et habitavit in Sodomis.
13 Forsothe men of Sodom weren ful wickid, and synneris greetly bifore the Lord.
Homines autem Sodomitae pessimi erant, et peccatores coram Domino nimis.
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;
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 Y schal yyue al the lond which thou seest to thee and to thi seed, til in to with outen ende.
Omnem terram, quam conspicis, tibi dabo, et semini tuo usque in sempiternum.
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.
Faciamque semen tuum sicut pulverem terrae: si quis potest hominum numerare pulverem terrae, semen quoque tuum numerare poterit.
17 Therfor rise thou, and passe thorou the lond in his lengthe and breede, for Y schal yyue it to thee.
Surge ergo, et perambula terram in longitudine, et in latitudine sua: quia tibi daturus sum eam.
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.
Movens igitur tabernaculum suum Abram, venit et habitavit iuxta convallem Mambre, quae est in Hebron: aedificavitque ibi altare Domino.
