< 창세기 13 >

1 아브람이 애굽에서 나올새 그와 그 아내와 모든 소유며 롯도 함께 하여 남방으로 올라가니
Therefore, Abram ascended from Egypt, he and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, toward the southern region.
2 아브람에게 육축과 은, 금이 풍부하였더라
But he was very wealthy by the possession of gold and silver.
3 그가 남방에서부터 발행하여 벧엘에 이르며 벧엘과 아이 사이 전에 장막 쳤던 곳에 이르니
And he returned by the way that he came, from the meridian into Bethel, all the way to the place where before he had pitched his tent, between Bethel and Hai.
4 그가 처음으로 단을 쌓은 곳이라 그가 거기서 여호와의 이름을 불렀더라
There, at the place of the altar he had made before, he again called upon the name of the Lord.
5 아브람의 일행 롯도 양과 소와 장막이 있으므로
But Lot also, who was with Abram, had flocks of sheep, and cattle, and tents.
6 그 땅이 그들의 동거함을 용납지 못하였으니 곧 그들의 소유가 많아서 동거할 수 없었음이라
Neither was the land able to contain them, so that they might dwell together. Indeed, their substance was so great that they could not live in common.
7 그러므로 아브람의 가축의 목자와 롯의 가축의 목자가 서로 다투고 또 가나안 사람과 브리스 사람도 그 땅에 거하였는지라
And then there also arose a conflict between the shepherds of Abram and of Lot. Now at that time the Canaanite and the Perizzite lived in that land.
8 아브람이 롯에게 이르되 `우리는 한 골육이라 나나, 너나, 내 목자나, 네 목자나 서로 다투게 말자
Therefore, Abram said to Lot: “I ask you, let there be no quarrel between me and you, and between my shepherds and your shepherds. For we are brothers.
9 네 앞에 온 땅이 있지 아니하냐? 나를 떠나라 네가 좌하면 나는 우하고, 네가 우하면 나는 좌하리라'
Behold, the entire land is before your eyes. Withdraw from me, I beg you. If you will go to the left, I will take the right. If you choose the right, I will pass to the left.”
10 이에 롯이 눈을 들어 요단들을 바라본즉 소알까지 온 땅에 물이 넉넉하니 여호와께서 소돔과 고모라를 멸하시기 전이었는고로 여호와의 동산같고 애굽 땅과 같았더라
And so Lot, lifting up his eyes, saw all the region around the Jordan, which was thoroughly irrigated, before the Lord overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. It was like the Paradise of the Lord, and it was like Egypt, approaching toward Zoar.
11 그러므로 롯이 요단 온 들을 택하고 동으로 옮기니 그들이 서로 떠난지라
And Lot chose for himself the region around the Jordan, and he withdrew by way of the east. And they were divided, one brother from the other.
12 아브람은 가나안 땅에 거하였고 롯은 평지 성읍들에 머무르며 그 장막을 옮겨 소돔까지 이르렀더라
Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan. In truth, Lot stayed in the towns that were around the Jordan, and he lived in Sodom.
13 소돔 사람은 악하여 여호와 앞에 큰 죄인이었더라
But the men of Sodom were very wicked, and they were sinners before the Lord beyond measure.
14 롯이 아브람을 떠난 후에 여호와께서 아브람에게 이르시되 너는 눈을 들어 너 있는 곳에서 동서남북을 바라보라!
And the Lord said to Abram, after Lot was divided from him: “Lift up your eyes, and gaze out from the place where you are now, to the north and to the meridian, to the east and to the west.
15 보이는 땅을 내가 너와 네 자손에게 주리니 영원히 이르리라
All the land that you see, I will give to you, and to your offspring even forever.
16 내가 네 자손으로 땅의 티끌 같게 하리니 사람이 땅의 티끌을 능히 셀수 있을진대 네 자손도 세리라
And I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth. If any man is able to number the dust of the earth, he will be able to number your offspring as well.
17 너는 일어나 그 땅을 종과 횡으로 행하여 보라! 내가 그것을 네게 주리라
Arise and walk through the land in its length, and breadth. For I will give it to you.”
18 이에 아브람이 장막을 옮겨 헤브론에 있는 마므레 상수리 수풀에 이르러 거하며 거기서 여호와를 위하여 단을 쌓았더라
Therefore, moving his tent, Abram went and dwelt by the steep valley of Mamre, which is in Hebron. And he built an altar there to the Lord.
