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.

So Abram went up from Egypt and went into the Negev, he, his wife, and all that he had. Lot also went with them.

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

Now Abram was very rich in animals, in silver, and in gold.

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

He continued on his journey from the Negev to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been before, between Bethel and Ai.

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

He went to the place where the altar was that he had built previously. Here he called on the name of Yahweh.

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

Now Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had flocks, herds, 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.

The land was not able to support them both living close together, because their possessions were very many, so that they could not stay together.

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.

Also, there was a dispute between the herdsmen of Abram's animals and the herdsmen of Lot's animals. The Canaanites and the Perizzites were living in the land at that time.

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.

So Abram said to Lot, “Let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen; after all, we are family.

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.

Is not the whole land before you? Go ahead and separate yourself from me. If you go to the left, then I will go to the right. Or if you go to the right, then I will go 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.

So Lot looked around, and saw that the whole plain of the Jordan was well watered everywhere all the way to Zoar, like the garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt. This was before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.

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

So Lot chose for himself all the plain of the Jordan and traveled east, and the relatives separated from each other.

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

Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived among the cities of the plain. He set up his tents as far away as Sodom.

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

Now the men of Sodom were very wicked sinners against Yahweh.

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;

Yahweh said to Abram after Lot had departed from him, “Look from the place where you are standing to the north, south, east, and west.

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

All this land which you see, I will give to you and to your descendants 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.

I will make your descendants as abundant as the dust of the earth, so that if a man could count the dust of the earth, then your descendants could also be counted.

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

Arise, walk through the length and breadth of the land, 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.

So Abram picked up his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and there built an altar to Yahweh.
