創世記 13
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
亞伯蘭與羅得分道揚鑣
13 亞伯蘭帶著妻子、侄兒羅得和所有的一切離開埃及去南地。 2 這時候亞伯蘭已經擁有很多牲畜和金銀。 3-4 他從南地漸漸遷移到伯特利，到了他從前在伯特利和艾中間搭帳篷和築壇的地方。他又在那裡求告耶和華。 5 和亞伯蘭同行的羅得也有牛群、羊群和帳篷。 6 他們的牲畜很多，那地方容納不下，他們無法住在一起。 7 亞伯蘭的牧人和羅得的牧人彼此爭執。那時，迦南人和比利洗人也住在那裡。
8 亞伯蘭對羅得說：「我們不該彼此爭執，我們的牧人也不該互相爭執，因為我們是骨肉至親。 9 整片土地不就在你面前嗎？我們分開吧。如果你往左邊去，我就往右邊走；如果你往右邊去，我就往左邊走。」 10 羅得舉目眺望，看見整個約旦河平原，遠至瑣珥，水源充足。在耶和華還沒有毀滅所多瑪和蛾摩拉之前，那地方就好像耶和華的伊甸園，又像埃及。 11 於是，羅得選了整個約旦河平原，向東遷移，他們便分開了。 12 亞伯蘭住在迦南，羅得則住在平原的城邑裡，並漸漸把帳篷遷移到所多瑪附近。 13 所多瑪人極其邪惡，在耶和華眼中罪惡滔天。
14 羅得離開後，耶和華對亞伯蘭說：「從你站的地方向東西南北眺望， 15 你所能看見的地方，我都要賜給你和你的後代，直到永遠。 16 我要使你的後代多如地上的塵土，人若能數算地上的塵土，才能數算你的後代。 17 你起來走遍這片土地，因為我要把這片土地賜給你。」 18 亞伯蘭就把帳篷遷移到希伯崙 幔利的橡樹那裡居住，在那裡為耶和華築了一座祭壇。
Bereshis 13
Orthodox Jewish Bible
13 And Avram went up out of Mitzrayim, he, and his isha, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the Negev.
2 And Avram was very rich in cattle, in kesef, and in zahav.
3 And he went on his journeys from the Negev even to Beit-El, unto the makom where his ohel had been at the beginning, between Beit-El and Ai;
4 Unto the makom of the Mizbe’ach, which he had built there at the first; and there Avram called on the Shem of Hashem.
5 And Lot also, which walked with Avram, had tzon, and herds, and ohalim.
6 And ha’aretz was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together; for their rechush was rav, so that they could not dwell together.
7 And there was a riv between the ro’im of the herd of Avram and the ro’im of the herd of Lot; and the Kena’ani and the Perizzi dwelt then in ha’aretz.
8 And Avram said unto Lot, Let there be no merivah now between me and thee, and between my ro’im and thy ro’im; for we are achim.
9 Is not the kol ha’aretz before thee? Separate thyself, now, 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 Yarden, that it was well watered everywhere, before Hashem destroyed Sodom and Amora, even as the Gan Hashem, like Eretz Mitzrayim, as you go to Tzoar.
11 Then Lot chose for him all the plain of Yarden; and Lot journeyed mikedem (east); and they separated themselves the one from his brother.
12 Avram dwelled in Eretz Kena’an, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his ohel toward Sodom.
13 But the men of Sodom were ra’im and chatta’im before Hashem exceedingly.
14 And Hashem said unto Avram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the makom where thou art northward, and southward and eastward, and westward:
15 For kol ha’aretz which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy zera ad olam (forever).
16 And I will make thy zera as the dust of ha’aretz; so that if a man can number the aphar of ha’aretz, then shall thy zera also be numbered.
17 Arise, walk through ha’aretz in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.
18 Then Avram moved his ohel, and came and dwelt in Elonei Mamre, which is in Chevron, and built there a Mizbe’ach unto Hashem.
