Gênesis 13

1 Subiu, pois, Abrão do Egito para a banda do Sul, ele e sua mulher, e tudo o que tinha, e com ele Lot.

Therefore, Abram ascended from Egypt, he and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, toward the southern region.

2 E ia Abrão muito rico em gado, em prata, e em ouro.

But he was very wealthy by the possession of gold and silver.

3 E fez as suas jornadas do Sul até bethel, até ao lugar onde ao princípio estivera a sua tenda, entre bethel e Ai;

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 Até ao lugar do altar que de antes ali tinha feito; e Abrão invocou ali o nome do Senhor.

There, at the place of the altar he had made before, he again called upon the name of the Lord.

5 E também Lot, que ia com Abrão, tinha rebanhos, e vacas, e tendas.

But Lot also, who was with Abram, had flocks of sheep, and cattle, and tents.

6 E não tinha capacidade a terra para poderem habitar juntos; porque a sua fazenda era muita; de maneira que não podiam habitar juntos.

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 E houve contenda entre os pastores do gado de Abrão, e os pastores do gado de Lot: e os Cananeus e os Perizeus habitavam então na terra.

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 E disse Abrão a Lot: Ora não haja contenda entre mim e ti, e entre os meus pastores e os teus pastores, porque irmãos varões somos.

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 Não está toda a terra diante de ti? Eia, pois, aparta-te de mim; se escolheres a esquerda, irei para a direita; e se a direita escolheres, eu irei para a esquerda.

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 E levantou Lot os seus olhos, e viu toda a campina do Jordão, que era toda bem regada, antes do Senhor ter destruído Sodoma e Gomorrha, e era como o jardim do Senhor, como a terra do Egito, quando se entra em Zoar.

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 Então Lot escolheu para si toda a campina do Jordão, e partiu Lot para o Oriente, e apartaram-se um do outro.

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 Habitou Abrão na terra de Canaan, e Lot habitou nas cidades da campina, e armou as suas tendas até Sodoma.

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 Ora eram maus os varões de Sodoma, e grandes pecadores contra o Senhor.

But the men of Sodom were very wicked, and they were sinners before the Lord beyond measure.

14 E disse o Senhor a Abrão, depois que Lot se apartou dele: Levanta agora os teus olhos, e olha desde o lugar onde estás, para a banda do Norte, e do Sul, e do Oriente, e do ocidente;

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 Porque toda esta terra que vês, te hei de dar a ti, e à tua semente, para sempre.

All the land that you see, I will give to you, and to your offspring even forever.

16 E farei a tua semente como o pó da terra; de maneira que se alguém poder contar o pó da terra, também a tua semente será contada.

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 Levanta-te, percorre essa terra, no seu comprimento e na sua largura; porque a ti a darei.

Arise and walk through the land in its length, and breadth. For I will give it to you.”

18 E Abrão armou as suas tendas, e veio, e habitou nos carvalhais de Mamre, que estão junto a Hebron; e edificou ali um altar ao Senhor.

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.
