Génesis 13
1 Subió, pues, Abram desde Egipto hacia el Neguev con su esposa, Lot y todo lo que poseía.
And Abram went up out of Egypt with his wife and all he had, and Lot with him, and they came in to the South.
2 Abram era muy rico en ganado, en plata y en oro.
Now Abram had great wealth of cattle and silver and gold.
3 Anduvo en sus jornadas desde el Neguev hasta Bet-ʼEl, al lugar donde plantó su tienda al comienzo, entre Bet-ʼEl y Hai,
And travelling on from the South, he came to Beth-el, to the place where his tent had been before, between Beth-el and Ai;
4 al lugar del altar que antes hizo. Allí Abram invocó el Nombre de Yavé.
To the place where he had made his first altar, and there Abram gave worship to the name of the Lord.
5 También Lot, quien iba con Abram, tenía rebaños, ganado vacuno y tiendas.
And Lot, who went with him, had flocks and herds and tents;
6 Pero la tierra no era suficiente para que ellos vivieran juntos, porque sus posesiones eran muchas. Ya no podían vivir juntos.
So that the land was not wide enough for the two of them: their property was so great that there was not room for them together.
7 Hubo disputa entre los pastores del ganado de Abram y los de Lot. En aquel tiempo el cananeo y el ferezeo habitaban en la tierra.
And there was an argument between the keepers of Abram's cattle and the keepers of Lot's cattle: at that time the Canaanites and Perizzites were still living in the land.
8 Y Abram dijo a Lot: Te ruego que no haya contienda entre tú y yo, ni entre mis pastores y tus pastores, pues somos hermanos.
Then Abram said to Lot, Let there be no argument between me and you, and between my herdmen and your herdmen, for we are brothers.
9 ¿No está toda esta tierra delante de ti? Te ruego que te separes de mí. Si vas a la izquierda, yo iré a la derecha, y si [vas] a la derecha, yo iré a la izquierda.
Is not all the land before you? then let us go our separate ways: if you go to the left, I will go to the right; or if you take the right, I will go to the left.
10 Lot levantó sus ojos y vio toda la llanura del Jordán, la cual era toda de regadío, como el huerto de Yavé, como la tierra de Egipto en dirección a Zoar. [Esto fue] antes que Yavé destruyera a Sodoma y Gomorra
And Lot, lifting up his eyes and looking an the valley of Jordan, saw that it was well watered everywhere, before the Lord had sent destruction on Sodom and Gomorrah; it was like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, on the way to Zoar.
11 Lot escogió toda la llanura del Jordán y salió luego hacia el oriente. Se separaron el uno del otro.
So Lot took for himself all the valley of Jordan, and went to the east, and they were parted from one another.
12 Abram vivió en tierra de Canaán. Lot vivió en las ciudades de la llanura y sus tiendas fueron plantadas hasta Sodoma.
Abram went on living in the land of Canaan, and Lot went to the lowland towns, moving his tent as far as Sodom.
13 Pero la gente de Sodoma era muy perversa y pecadora contra Yavé.
Now the men of Sodom were evil, and great sinners before the Lord.
14 Después que Lot se separó de su lado, Yavé dijo a Abram: Ahora levanta tus ojos y desde el lugar donde estás mira hacia el norte, el Neguev, el oriente y hacia el mar,
And the Lord had said to Abram, after Lot was parted from him, From this place where you are take a look to the north and to the south, to the east and to the west:
15 porque toda la tierra que tú ves la daré a ti y a tu descendencia para siempre.
For all the land which you see I will give to you and to your seed for ever.
16 Mira, tu descendencia será como el polvo de la tierra. Si alguien puede contar el polvo de la tierra, tu descendencia podrá ser contada.
And I will make your children like the dust of the earth, so that if the dust of the earth may be numbered, then will your children be numbered.
17 Levántate, recorre esta tierra a lo largo y a lo ancho, pues te la daré.
Come, go through all the land from one end to the other for I will give it to you.
18 Entonces Abram movió su tienda y vivió en el robledal de Mamre que está en Hebrón. Allí edificó un altar a Yavé.
And Abram, moving his tent, came and made his living-place by the holy tree of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and made an altar there to the Lord.
