Genesis 13

1 Abram went up out of Egypt—he, his wife, all that he had, and Lot with him—into the South.

アブラム其妻および其有る諸の物と偕にエジプトを出て南の地に上れりロト彼と共にありき

2 Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.

アブラム甚家畜と金銀に富り

3 He went on his journeys from the South as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,

彼南の地より其旅路に進てベテルに至りベテルとアイの間なる其以前に天幕を張たる處に至れり

4 to the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first. There Abram called on the LORD’s name.

即ち彼が初に其處に築きたる壇のある處なり彼處にアブラム、ヱホバの名を龥り

5 Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, herds, and tents.

アブラムと偕に行しロトも羊牛および天幕を有り

6 The land was not able to bear them, that they might live together; for their possessions were so great that they couldn’t live together.

其地は彼等を載て倶に居しむること能はざりき彼等は其所有多かりしに縁て倶に居ることを得ざりしなり

7 There was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. The Canaanites and the Perizzites lived in the land at that time.

斯有かばアブラムの家畜の牧者とロトの家畜の牧者の間に競爭ありきカナン人とペリジ人此時其地に居住り

8 Abram said to Lot, “Please, let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen; for we are relatives.

アブラム、ロトに言けるは我等は兄弟の人なれば請ふ我と汝の間およびわが牧者と汝の牧者の間に競爭あらしむる勿れ

9 Isn’t the whole land before you? Please separate yourself from me. If you go to the left hand, then I will go to the right. Or if you go to the right hand, then I will go to the left.”

地は皆爾の前にあるにあらずや請ふ我を離れよ爾若左にゆかば我右にゆかん又爾右にゆかば我左にゆかんと

10 Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well-watered everywhere, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as you go to Zoar.

是に於てロト目を擧てヨルダンの凡ての低地を瞻望みけるにヱホバ、ソドムとゴモラとを滅し給はざりし前なりければゾアルに至るまであまねく善く潤澤ひてヱホバの園の如くエジプトの地の如くなりき

11 So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated themselves from one other.

ロト乃ちヨルダンの低地を盡く撰とりて東に徙れり斯彼等彼此に別たり

12 Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.

アブラムはカナンの地に住り又ロトは低地の諸邑に住み其天幕を遷してソドムに至れり

13 Now the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinners against the LORD.

ソドムの人は惡くしてヱホバの前に大なる罪人なりき

14 The LORD said to Abram, after Lot was separated from him, “Now, lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward,

ロトのアブラムに別れし後ヱホバ、アブラムに言たまひけるは爾の目を擧て爾の居る處より西東北南を瞻望め

15 for I will give all the land which you see to you and to your offspring forever.

凡そ汝が觀る所の地は我之を永く爾と爾の裔に與べし

16 I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if a man can count the dust of the earth, then your offspring may also be counted.

我爾の後裔を地の塵沙の如くなさん若人地の塵沙を數ふることを得ば爾の後裔も數へらるべし

17 Arise, walk through the land in its length and in its width; for I will give it to you.”

爾起て縱横に其地を行き巡るべし我之を爾に與へんと

18 Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to the LORD.

アブラム遂に天幕を遷して來りヘブロンのマムレの橡林に住み彼處にてヱホバに壇を築けり
