Génesis 13

1 SUBIÓ, pues, Abram de Egipto hacia el Mediodía, él, y su mujer, con todo lo que tenía, y con él Lot.

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 Y Abram era riquísimo en ganado, en plata y oro.

Now Abram had great wealth of cattle and silver and gold.

3 Y volvió por sus jornadas [de la parte] del Mediodía hacia Bethel, hasta el lugar donde había estado antes su tienda entre Bethel 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 había hecho allí antes: é invocó allí Abram el nombre de Jehová.

To the place where he had made his first altar, and there Abram gave worship to the name of the Lord.

5 Y asimismo Lot, que andaba con Abram, tenía ovejas, y vacas, y tiendas.

And Lot, who went with him, had flocks and herds and tents;

6 Y la tierra no podía darles para que habitasen juntos: porque su hacienda era mucha, y no podían morar en un mismo lugar.

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 Y hubo contienda entre los pastores del ganado de Abram y los pastores del ganado de Lot: y el Cananeo y el Pherezeo habitaban entonces 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 Entonces Abram dijo á Lot: No haya ahora altercado entre mí y ti, entre mis pastores y los tuyos, porque 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 la tierra delante de ti? Yo te ruego que te apartes de mí. Si [fueres] á la mano izquierda, yo iré á la derecha: y si tú á la derecha, yo iré á 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 Y alzó Lot sus ojos, y vió toda la llanura del Jordán, que toda ella era de riego, antes que destruyese Jehová á Sodoma y á Gomorra, como el huerto de Jehová, como la tierra de Egipto entrando en Zoar.

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 Entonces Lot escogió para sí toda la llanura del Jordán: y partióse Lot de Oriente, y apartáronse 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 asentó en la tierra de Canaán, y Lot asentó en las ciudades de la llanura, y fué poniendo sus tiendas 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 Mas los hombres de Sodoma eran malos y pecadores para con Jehová en gran manera.

Now the men of Sodom were evil, and great sinners before the Lord.

14 Y Jehová dijo á Abram, después que Lot se apartó de él: Alza ahora tus ojos, y mira desde el lugar donde estás hacia el Aquilón, y al Mediodía, y al Oriente y al Occidente;

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 ves, la daré á ti y á tu simiente para siempre.

For all the land which you see I will give to you and to your seed for ever.

16 Y haré tu simiente como el polvo de la tierra: que si alguno podrá contar el polvo de la tierra, también tu simiente será 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, ve por la tierra á lo largo de ella y á su ancho; porque á ti la tengo de dar.

Come, go through all the land from one end to the other for I will give it to you.

18 Abram, pues, removiendo su tienda, vino y moró en el alcornocal de Mamre, que es en Hebrón, y edificó allí altar á Jehová.

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.
