创世记 13
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
亚伯兰返回迦南
13 亚伯兰带着妻子和所有的一切，以及罗得，一同从埃及上到南地去。 2 亚伯兰有很多牲畜和金银。 3 他从南地一站一站往前走，到伯特利去；到伯特利和艾城中间，就是他起先支搭帐棚的地方， 4 也是他筑头一座祭坛的地方，亚伯兰就在那里求告耶和华的名。 5 和亚伯兰同行的罗得，也有羊群、牛群和帐棚。
亚伯兰与罗得分手
6 那地容不下他们住在一起；因为他们的财物很多，所以他们再也不能住在一起。 7 牧养亚伯兰牲畜的和牧养罗得牲畜的，起了纷争；当时迦南人和比利洗人还住在那地。 8 亚伯兰就对罗得说：“你我之间，切不可纷争；你的牧人和我的牧人之间，也不可纷争，因为我们是至亲。 9 全地不都是在你面前吗？请你离开我吧！你若向左，我就向右；你若向右，我就向左。” 10 罗得举目，看见约旦河整个平原，直到琐珥，都有水灌溉；在耶和华毁灭所多玛和蛾摩拉之前，这地好象耶和华的园子，也像埃及地一样。 11 罗得选择了约旦河整个平原，于是向东移动，他们就彼此分开了。 12 亚伯兰住在迦南地；罗得住在平原的城市中，渐渐挪移帐棚，直到所多玛。 13 在耶和华看来，所多玛人是罪大恶极的。
亚伯兰获得之应许
14 罗得离开亚伯兰以后，耶和华对亚伯兰说：“你要举目，从你所在的地方向东南西北观看。 15 你看见的地方，我都要赐给你和你的后裔，直到永远。 16 我要使你的后裔好象地上灰尘那么多；若能数算地上的灰尘，才能数算你的后裔。 17 你起来，纵横走遍这地，因为我必把这地赐给你。” 18 于是，亚伯兰渐渐挪移帐棚，来到希伯仑幔利的橡树附近，在那里居住，也在那里为耶和华筑了一座祭坛。
Genesis 13
International Children’s Bible
Abram and Lot Separate
13 So Abram, his wife and Lot left Egypt. They took everything they owned and traveled to southern Canaan. 2 Abram was very rich in cattle, silver and gold.
3 He left southern Canaan and went back to Bethel. He went where he had camped before, between Bethel and Ai. 4 It was the place where Abram had built an altar before. So he worshiped the Lord there.
5 During this time Lot was traveling with Abram. Lot also had many sheep, cattle and tents. 6 Abram and Lot had so many animals that the land could not support both of them together. 7 Abram’s herders and Lot’s herders began to argue. The Canaanites and the Perizzites were living in the land at this time.
8 So Abram said to Lot, “There should be no arguing between you and me. Your herders and mine should not argue either. We are brothers. 9 We should separate. The whole land is there in front of you. If you go to the left, I will go to the right. If you go to the right, I will go to the left.”
10 Lot looked all around and saw the whole Jordan Valley. He saw that there was much water there. It was like the Lord’s garden, like the land of Egypt in the direction of Zoar. (This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.) 11 So Lot chose to move east and live in the Jordan Valley. In this way Abram and Lot separated. 12 Abram lived in the land of Canaan. But Lot lived among the cities in the Jordan Valley. He moved very near to Sodom. 13 Now the people of Sodom were very evil. They were always sinning against the Lord.
14 After Lot left, the Lord said to Abram, “Look all around you. Look north and south and east and west. 15 All this land that you see I will give to you and your descendants forever. 16 I will make your descendants as many as the dust of the earth. If anyone could count the dust on the earth, he could count your people. 17 Get up! Walk through all this land. I am now giving it to you.”
18 So Abram moved his tents. He went to live near the great trees of Mamre. This was at the city of Hebron. There he built an altar to the Lord.
