< Genesis 13 >

1 And Abram returned from Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.
Subiu, pois, Abrão do Egypto para a banda do Sul, elle e sua mulher, e tudo o que tinha, e com elle Lot.
2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
E ia Abrão muito rico em gado, em prata, e em oiro.
3 And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai;
E fez as suas jornadas do Sul até Beth-el, até ao logar onde ao principio estivera a sua tenda, entre Beth-el e Ai;
4 To the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.
Até ao logar do altar que d'antes ali tinha feito; e Abrão invocou ali o nome do Senhor.
5 And Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
E tambem Lot, que ia com Abrão, tinha rebanhos, e vaccas, e tendas.
6 And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.
E não tinha capacidade a terra para poderem habitar juntos; porque a sua fazenda era muita; de maneira que não podiam habitar juntos.
7 And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram’s cattle and the herdmen of Lot’s cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelt then in the land.
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.
8 And Abram said to Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we are brethren.
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.
9 Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou wilt depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.
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.
10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest to Zoar.
E levantou Lot os seus olhos, e viu toda a campina do Jordão, que era toda bem regada, antes do Senhor ter destruido Sodoma e Gomorrha, e era como o jardim do Senhor, como a terra do Egypto, quando se entra em Zoar.
11 Then Lot chose for himself all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.
Então Lot escolheu para si toda a campina do Jordão, e partiu Lot para o Oriente, e apartaram-se um do outro.
12 Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
Habitou Abrão na terra de Canaan, e Lot habitou nas cidades da campina, e armou as suas tendas até Sodoma.
13 But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.
Ora eram maus os varões de Sodoma, e grandes peccadores contra o Senhor.
14 And the LORD said to Abram, after Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
E disse o Senhor a Abrão, depois que Lot se apartou d'elle: Levanta agora os teus olhos, e olha desde o logar onde estás, para a banda do Norte, e do Sul, e do Oriente, e do Occidente;
15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
Porque toda esta terra que vês, te hei de dar a ti, e á tua semente, para sempre.
16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.
E farei a tua semente como o pó da terra; de maneira que se alguem podér contar o pó da terra, tambem a tua semente será contada.
17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it to thee.
Levanta-te, percorre essa terra, no seu comprimento e na sua largura; porque a ti a darei.
18 Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar to the LORD.
E Abrão armou as suas tendas, e veiu, e habitou nos carvalhaes de Mamre, que estão junto a Hebron; e edificou ali um altar ao Senhor.
