Gênesis 13

1 Subiu, pois, Abrão do Egypto para a banda do Sul, elle e sua mulher, e tudo o que tinha, e com elle Lot.

Abram went up out of Egypt: he, his wife, and all his possessions, and Lot with him, into the Negev.

2 E ia Abrão muito rico em gado, em prata, e em oiro.

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

3 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;

He went on his journeys from the Negev even to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,

4 Até ao logar do altar que d'antes ali tinha feito; e Abrão invocou ali o nome do Senhor.

to the place where he had first built the altar. And there Abram called on the name of God.

5 E tambem Lot, que ia com Abrão, tinha rebanhos, e vaccas, e tendas.

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

6 E não tinha capacidade a terra para poderem habitar juntos; porque a sua fazenda era muita; de maneira que não podiam habitar juntos.

The land was not able to support them while they stayed together, for they had so many possessions that they were unable to remain together.

7 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.

There was a strife between the herdsmen of Abram's livestock and the herdsmen of Lot's livestock. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite lived in the land at that time.

8 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.

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

9 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.

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."

10 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.

Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well-watered everywhere, like the garden of God, like the land of Egypt, in the direction of Zoar. (This was before God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)

11 Então Lot escolheu para si toda a campina do Jordão, e partiu Lot para o Oriente, e apartaram-se um do outro.

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

12 Habitou Abrão na terra de Canaan, e Lot habitou nas cidades da campina, e armou as suas tendas até Sodoma.

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

13 Ora eram maus os varões de Sodoma, e grandes peccadores contra o Senhor.

Now the people of Sodom were evil, sinning greatly against God.

14 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;

And God said to Abram after Lot had departed from him, "Now, lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward,

15 Porque toda esta terra que vês, te hei de dar a ti, e á tua semente, para sempre.

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

16 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.

I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if one can count the dust of the earth, then your offspring also could be counted.

17 Levanta-te, percorre essa terra, no seu comprimento e na sua largura; porque a ti a darei.

Arise, walk through the land in its length and in its breadth; for I will give it to you."

18 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.

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