Genesis 13
1 And Abram goeth up from Egypt (he and his wife, and all that he hath, 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 and Abram [is] exceedingly wealthy in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
アブラム甚家畜と金銀に富り
3 And he goeth on his journeyings from the south, even unto Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the commencement, between Bethel and Hai —
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 the first, and there doth Abram preach in the name of Jehovah.
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 And also to Lot, who is going with Abram, there hath been sheep and oxen 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 hath not suffered them to dwell together, for their substance hath been much, and they have not been able to 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 is a strife between those feeding Abram's cattle and those feeding Lot's cattle; and the Canaanite and the Perizzite [are] 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 And Abram saith unto Lot, 'Let there not, I pray thee, be strife between me and thee, and between my shepherds and thy shepherds, for we [are] men — brethren.
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? be parted, I pray thee, from me; if to the left, then I to the right; and if to the right, then I 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 And Lot lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the whole circuit of the Jordan that it [is] all a watered country (before Jehovah's destroying Sodom and Gomorrah, as Jehovah's garden, as the land of Egypt, ) in thy coming toward 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 chooseth for himself the whole circuit of the Jordan; and Lot journeyeth from the east, and they are parted — a man from his companion;
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 hath dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot hath dwelt in the cities of the circuit, and tenteth unto 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 and the men of Sodom [are] evil, and sinners before Jehovah 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 Jehovah said unto Abram, after Lot's being parted 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 the whole of the land which thou are seeing, to thee I give it, and to thy seed — to the age.
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 have set thy seed as dust of the earth, so that, if one is able to number the dust of the earth, even thy seed is 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 through the land, to its length, and to its breadth, for to thee 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 And Abram tenteth, and cometh, and dwelleth among the oaks of Mamre, which [are] in Hebron, and buildeth there an altar to Jehovah.
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
