Genesis 13
Ang Pulong Sang Dios
Nagbulag si Abram kag si Lot
13 Halin sa Egipto, nagkadto si Abram sa Negev upod ang iya asawa kag dala ang tanan niya nga pagkabutang, kag nag-upod man sa ila si Lot. 2 Manggaranon na kaayo si Abram; madamo na ang iya kasapatan, pilak, kag bulawan. 3 Halin sa Negev, nagsaylo-saylo sila hasta nga nakabalik sila sa lugar nga ila anay ginpatindugan sang tolda. Ini nga lugar ara sa tunga-tunga sang Betel kag Ai. 4 Diri man sila una nga nagpatindog sang halaran sang pag-abot nila sa Canaan. Sa liwat nagsimba didto si Abraham sa Ginoo.
5 Si Lot nga nagaupod man kay Abram kon diin siya magkadto may iya man nga mga kasapatan kag mga tolda. 6 Kag tungod kay madamo na ang ila kasapatan kag iban pa nga mga pagkabutang, indi sila puwede nga magtingob estar sa isa ka lugar. Ang palahalban[a] indi makaigo sa ila. 7 Tungod sini, nag-ilinaway ang mga manugbantay sang ila mga kasapatan. (Sadto nga panahon ang mga Canaanhon kag mga Periznon nagaestar pa sa sadto nga duta.)
8 Gani nagsiling si Abram kay Lot, “Kita kag ang aton mga tinawo indi dapat mag-ilinaway, kay magparyentihanay kita. 9 Ang maayo pa, mabulagay na lang kita tungod madamo pa man sang lugar nga puwede sayluhan. Ikaw ang magpili kon diin nga bahin sang duta ang imo gusto. Kon mapawala ka, mapatuo ako; kon mapatuo ka, mapawala ako.”
10 Nagtan-aw si Lot sa palibot kag nakita niya nga bugana sang tubig ang Kapatagan sang Jordan hasta sa Zoar, pareho sang katamnan sang Ginoo[b] kag sang duta sang Egipto. (Ini sang wala pa ginlaglag sang Ginoo ang Sodom kag Gomora.) 11 Gani ginpili ni Lot ang bug-os nga Kapatagan sang Jordan sa sidlangan. Sa amo nga paagi nagbulagay si Lot kag si Abram. 12 Si Abram nagpabilin sa Canaan samtang si Lot iya didto sa mga banwa sang kapatagan. Nagpatindog si Lot sang iya mga tolda malapit sa Sodom. 13 Ang mga tawo sa Sodom tama gid ka makasasala. Puwerte gid ang ila pagpakasala kontra sa Ginoo.
Nagsaylo si Abram sa Hebron
14 Sang nakahalin na si Lot, nagsiling ang Ginoo kay Abram, “Halin sa imo ginatindugan tan-awa sing maayo ang imo palibot. 15 Ang tanan nga duta nga malambot sang imo panulok ihatag ko sa imo kag sa imo mga kaliwat, kag mangin inyo ina hasta san-o. 16 Hatagan ko ikaw sing madamo nga mga kaliwat nga ang ila kadamuon pareho sa yab-ok. Ang yab-ok indi maisip, gani ang imo mga kaliwat indi man maisip. 17 Lakat ka kag libuta ang bug-os nga duta kay ihatag ko ina tanan sa imo.” 18 Gani ginhalin ni Abram ang iya mga tolda, kag didto siya nag-estar malapit sa dalagko nga mga kahoy[c] ni Mamre didto sa Hebron, kag naghimo siya didto sang halaran para sa Ginoo.
Genesis 13
King James Version
13 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.
2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
3 And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai;
4 Unto the place of the altar, which he had make there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the Lord.
5 And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
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.
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 dwelled then in the land.
8 And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren.
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 depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.
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 unto Zoar.
11 Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.
12 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
13 But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly.
14 And the Lord said unto Abram, after that 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:
15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
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.
17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.
18 Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the Lord.

New International Version
Abram and Lot Separate
13 So Abram went up from Egypt(A) to the Negev,(B) with his wife and everything he had, and Lot(C) went with him. 2 Abram had become very wealthy(D) in livestock(E) and in silver and gold.
3 From the Negev(F) he went from place to place until he came to Bethel,(G) to the place between Bethel and Ai(H) where his tent had been earlier 4 and where he had first built an altar.(I) There Abram called on the name of the Lord.(J)
5 Now Lot,(K) who was moving about with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents. 6 But the land could not support them while they stayed together, for their possessions were so great that they were not able to stay together.(L) 7 And quarreling(M) arose between Abram’s herders and Lot’s. The Canaanites(N) and Perizzites(O) were also living in the land(P) at that time.
8 So Abram said to Lot,(Q) “Let’s not have any quarreling between you and me,(R) or between your herders and mine, for we are close relatives.(S) 9 Is not the whole land before you? Let’s part company. If you go to the left, I’ll go to the right; if you go to the right, I’ll go to the left.”(T)
10 Lot looked around and saw that the whole plain(U) of the Jordan toward Zoar(V) was well watered, like the garden of the Lord,(W) like the land of Egypt.(X) (This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom(Y) and Gomorrah.)(Z) 11 So Lot chose for himself the whole plain of the Jordan and set out toward the east. The two men parted company: 12 Abram lived in the land of Canaan,(AA) while Lot(AB) lived among the cities of the plain(AC) and pitched his tents near Sodom.(AD) 13 Now the people of Sodom(AE) were wicked and were sinning greatly against the Lord.(AF)
14 The Lord said to Abram after Lot had parted from him, “Look around from where you are, to the north and south, to the east and west.(AG) 15 All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring[a] forever.(AH) 16 I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth, so that if anyone could count the dust, then your offspring could be counted.(AI) 17 Go, walk through the length and breadth of the land,(AJ) for I am giving it to you.”(AK)
18 So Abram went to live near the great trees of Mamre(AL) at Hebron,(AM) where he pitched his tents. There he built an altar to the Lord.(AN)

English Standard Version
Abram and Lot Separate
13 So Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife and all that he had, and Lot with him, (A)into the Negeb.
2 (B)Now Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold. 3 And he journeyed on from the Negeb as far as Bethel to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai, 4 to (C)the place where he had made an altar at the first. And there Abram called upon the name of the Lord. 5 And Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents, 6 so that (D)the land could not support both of them dwelling together; for their possessions were so great that they could not dwell together, 7 (E)and there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram's livestock and the herdsmen of Lot's livestock. At that time (F)the Canaanites and the Perizzites were dwelling in the land.
8 Then Abram said to Lot, (G)“Let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen, (H)for we are kinsmen.[a] 9 (I)Is not the whole land before you? Separate yourself from me. If you take the left hand, then I will go to the right, or if you take the right hand, then I will go to the left.” 10 And Lot lifted up his eyes and saw that the (J)Jordan Valley was well watered everywhere like (K)the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, in the direction of (L)Zoar. (This was before the Lord (M)destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.) 11 So Lot chose for himself all the Jordan Valley, and Lot journeyed east. Thus they separated from each other. 12 Abram settled in the land of Canaan, while Lot settled among the cities of the valley and moved his tent as far as Sodom. 13 Now the men of Sodom (N)were wicked, great sinners against the Lord.
14 The Lord said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, “Lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, (O)northward and southward and eastward and westward, 15 for all the land that you see I will give (P)to you and (Q)to your offspring forever. 16 (R)I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if one can count the dust of the earth, your offspring also can be counted. 17 Arise, walk through the length and the breadth of the land, for I will give it to you.” 18 So Abram moved his tent and came and (S)settled by the (T)oaks[b] of Mamre, which (U)are at Hebron, and there he built an altar to the Lord.
