Genesis 13

1 Then Abram went vp from Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him toward 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 And Abram was very rich in cattell, in siluer and in golde.

アブラム甚家畜と金銀に富り

3 And he went on his iourney from ye South toward Beth-el, to the place where his tent had bene at ye beginning, betweene Beth-el and Haai,

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 Vnto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the Name of the Lord.

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 And Lot also, who went with Abram, had sheepe, and cattell and tentes,

アブラムと偕に行しロトも羊牛および天幕を有り

6 So that the land coulde not beare them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they coulde not dwell 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 Also there was debate betweene ye heardmen of Abrams cattell, and the heardmen of Lots cattell. (and the Canaanites and the Perizzites dwelled at that time in the land.)

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 Then saide Abram vnto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, betweene thee and me, neither betweene mine heardmen and thine heardmen: for we be brethren.

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 Is not the whole land before thee? depart I pray thee from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will goe to the right: or if thou goe to the right hand, then I will take 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 So when Lot lifted vp his eyes, he saw that all the plaine of Iorden was watered euery where: (for before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorah, it was as the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, as thou goest vnto 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 Then Lot chose vnto him all the plaine of Iorden, and tooke his iourney from the East: and they departed the one from the 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 dwelled in the lande of Canaan, and Lot abode in the cities of the plaine, and pitched his tent euen to 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 wicked and exceeding 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 Then the Lord saide vnto Abram, (after that Lot was departed from him) Lift vp thine eyes nowe, and looke from the place where thou art, Northward, and Southward, and Eastwarde, 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 all the land, which thou seest, will I giue vnto thee and to thy seede for euer,

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 And I will make thy seede, as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seede be numbred.

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, walke through the land, in ye length thereof, and breadth thereof: for I will giue it vnto thee.

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 Then Abram remoued his tent, and came and dwelled in the plaine of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and builded there an altar vnto ye 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
