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;
Ascendit ergo Abram de Ægypto, ipse et uxor eius, et omnia quæ habebat, et Lot cum eo ad australem plagam.
2 and Abram [is] exceedingly wealthy in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
Erat autem dives valde in possessione auri et argenti.
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 —
Reversusque est per iter, quo venerat, a meridie in Bethel usque ad locum ubi prius fixerat tabernaculum inter Bethel et Hai:
4 unto the place of the altar which he made there at the first, and there doth Abram preach in the name of Jehovah.
in loco altaris quod fecerat prius, et invocavit ibi nomen Domini.
5 And also to Lot, who is going with Abram, there hath been sheep and oxen and tents;
Sed et Lot qui erat cum Abram, fuerunt greges ovium, et armenta, et tabernacula.
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;
Nec poterat eos capere terra, ut habitarent simul: erat quippe substantia eorum multa, et nequibant habitare communiter.
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.
Unde et facta est rixa inter pastores gregum Abram et Lot. Eo autem tempore Chananæus et Pherezæus habitabant in terra illa.
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.
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 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.'
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 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,
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 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;
Elegitque sibi Lot regionem circa Iordanem, et recessit ab Oriente: divisique sunt alterutrum a fratre suo.
12 Abram hath dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot hath dwelt in the cities of the circuit, and tenteth unto Sodom;
Abram habitavit in terra Chanaan: Lot vero moratus est in oppidis, quæ erant circa Iordanem, et habitavit in Sodomis.
13 and the men of Sodom [are] evil, and sinners before Jehovah exceedingly.
Homines autem Sodomitæ pessimi erant, et peccatores coram Domino nimis.
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;
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 for the whole of the land which thou are seeing, to thee I give it, and to thy seed — to the age.
Omnem terram, quam conspicis, tibi dabo, et semini tuo usque in sempiternum.
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;
Faciamque semen tuum sicut pulverem terræ: si quis potest hominum numerare pulverem terræ, semen quoque tuum numerare poterit.
17 rise, go up and down through the land, to its length, and to its breadth, for to thee I give it.'
Surge, et perambula terram in longitudine, et in latitudine sua: quia tibi daturus sum eam.
18 And Abram tenteth, and cometh, and dwelleth among the oaks of Mamre, which [are] in Hebron, and buildeth there an altar to Jehovah.
Movens igitur tabernaculum suum Abram, venit et habitavit iuxta convallem Mambre, quæ est in Hebron: ædificavitque ibi altare Domino.
