Genesis 13
1 ascendit ergo Abram de Aegypto ipse et uxor eius et omnia quae habebat et Loth cum eo ad australem plagam
And Abram went up out of Egypt, he and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the wilderness.
2 erat autem dives valde in possessione argenti et auri
And Abram was very rich in cattle, and silver, and gold.
3 reversusque est per iter quo venerat a meridie in Bethel usque ad locum ubi prius fixerat tabernaculum inter Bethel et Ai
And he went [to the place] whence he came, into the wilderness as far as Baethel, as far as the place where his tent was before, between Baethel and Aggai,
4 in loco altaris quod fecerat prius et invocavit ibi nomen Domini
to the place of the altar, which he built there at first, and Abram there called on the name of the Lord.
5 sed et Loth qui erat cum Abram fuerunt greges ovium et armenta et tabernacula
And Lot who went out with Abram had sheep, and oxen, and tents.
6 nec poterat eos capere terra ut habitarent simul erat quippe substantia eorum multa et non quibant habitare communiter
And the land was not large enough for them to live together, because their possessions were great; and the land was not large enough for them to live together.
7 unde et facta est rixa inter pastores gregum Abram et Loth eo autem tempore Chananeus et Ferezeus habitabant in illa terra
And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle, and the herdmen of Lot's cattle, and the Chananites and the Pherezites then inhabited the land.
8 dixit ergo Abram ad Loth ne quaeso sit iurgium inter me et te et inter pastores meos et pastores tuos fratres enim sumus
And Abram said to Lot, Let there not be a strife between me and you, and between my herdmen and your herdmen, for we are brethren.
9 ecce universa terra coram te est recede a me obsecro si ad sinistram ieris ego ad dexteram tenebo si tu dexteram elegeris ego ad sinistram pergam
Behold! is not the whole land before you? Separate yourself from me; if you [go] to the left, I will go to the right, and if you go to the right, I will go to the left.
10 elevatis itaque Loth oculis vidit omnem circa regionem Iordanis quae universa inrigabatur antequam subverteret Dominus Sodomam et Gomorram sicut paradisus Domini et sicut Aegyptus venientibus in Segor
And Lot having lifted up his eyes, observed all the country round about Jordan, that it was all watered, before God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrha, as the garden of the Lord, and as the land of Egypt, until you come to Zogora.
11 elegitque sibi Loth regionem circa Iordanem et recessit ab oriente divisique sunt alterutrum a fratre suo
And Lot chose for himself all the country round Jordan, and Lot went from the east, and they were separated each from his brother. And Abram lived in the land of Chanaan.
12 Abram habitavit in terra Chanaan Loth moratus est in oppidis quae erant circa Iordanem et habitavit in Sodomis
And Lot lived in a city of the neighbouring people, and pitched his tent in Sodom.
13 homines autem Sodomitae pessimi erant et peccatores coram Domino nimis
But the men of Sodom were evil, and exceedingly sinful before God.
14 dixitque Dominus ad Abram postquam divisus est Loth ab eo leva oculos tuos et vide a loco in quo nunc es ad aquilonem et ad meridiem ad orientem et ad occidentem
And God said to Abram after Lot was separated from him, Look up with your eyes, and behold from the place where you now are northward and southward, and eastward and seaward;
15 omnem terram quam conspicis tibi dabo et semini tuo usque in sempiternum
for all the land which you see, I will give it to you and to your seed for ever.
16 faciamque semen tuum sicut pulverem terrae si quis potest hominum numerare pulverem semen quoque tuum numerare poterit
And I will make your seed like the dust of the earth; if any one is able to number the dust of the earth, then shall your seed be numbered.
17 surge et perambula terram in longitudine et in latitudine sua quia tibi daturus sum eam
Arise and traverse the land, both in the length of it and in the breadth; for to you will I give it, and to your seed for ever.
18 movens igitur Abram tabernaculum suum venit et habitavit iuxta convallem Mambre quod est in Hebron aedificavitque ibi altare Domino
And Abram having removed his tent, came and lived by the oak of Mambre, which was in Chebrom, and he there built an altar to the Lord.
