Genesis 13
Ang Biblia (1978)
Pagbalik sa Canaan.
13 At umahon sa Timugan si Abram mula sa Egipto, siya at ang kaniyang asawa, at ang lahat ng kaniyang tinatangkilik, at si Lot na kaniyang kasama.
2 At si Abram ay totoong mayaman sa hayop, sa pilak, at sa ginto.
3 At nagpatuloy si Abram ng kaniyang paglalakbay mula sa Timugan hanggang sa Bethel, hanggang sa dakong kinaroroonan noong una ng kaniyang tolda sa pagitan ng Bethel at ng Hai;
4 (A)Sa dako ng dambana na kaniyang ginawa roon nang una: at sinambitla doon ni Abram ang pangalan ng Panginoon.
5 At si Lot man na kinasama ni Abram ay may tupahan at bakahan, at mga tolda.
6 At sila'y hindi makayanan (B)ng lupain, na sila'y manahan na magkasama: sapagka't napakarami ang kanilang pagaari, na ano pa't hindi maaring manirahang magkasama.
Paghiwalay kay Lot.
7 (C)At nagkaroon ng pagtatalo ang mga pastor ng hayop ni Abram at ang mga pastor ng hayop ni Lot; (D)at ang Cananeo at ang Pherezeo ay naninirahan noon sa lupain.
8 At sinabi ni Abram kay Lot, Ipinamamanhik ko sa iyong (E)huwag magkaroon ng pagtatalo, ikaw at ako, at ang mga pastor mo at mga pastor ko; sapagka't tayo'y magkapatid.
9 (F)Di ba ang buong lupain ay nasa harap mo? Humiwalay ka nga sa akin, ipinamamanhik ko sa iyo: kung ikaw ay pasa sa kaliwa, ay pasa sa kanan ako: o kung ikaw ay pasa sa kanan, ay pasa sa kaliwa ako.
10 At itiningin ni Lot ang kaniyang mga mata, at natanaw niya ang buong (G)kapatagan ng Jordan, na pawang patubigan na magaling sa magkabikabila, kung pasa sa (H)Zoar, bago (I)giniba ng Panginoon ang Sodoma at Gomorra, ay gaya ng (J)halamanan ng Panginoon, gaya ng lupain ng Egipto.
11 Kaya't pinili ni Lot sa kaniya ang buong kapatagan ng Jordan; at si Lot ay naglakbay sa silanganan: at sila'y kapuwa naghiwalay.
12 Tumahan si Abram sa lupain ng Canaan; at si Lot ay tumahan sa mga bayan ng kapatagan, at inilipat ang kaniyang tolda hanggang sa Sodoma.
13 (K)Ang mga tao nga sa Sodoma ay masasama at mga makasalanan sa harap ng Panginoon.
14 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Abram, pagkatapos na makahiwalay si Lot sa kaniya, Itingin mo ngayon ang iyong mga mata, at tumanaw ka mula sa dakong iyong kinalalagyan, sa dakong hilagaan, at sa dakong timugan, at sa dakong silanganan, at sa dakong kalunuran:
15 Sapagka't ang buong lupaing iyong natatanaw (L)ay ibibigay ko sa iyo, at sa iyong binhi magpakaylan man.
16 (M)At gagawin kong parang alabok ng lupa ang iyong binhi: na ano pa't kung mabibilang ng sinoman ang alabok ng lupa ay mabibilang nga rin ang iyong binhi.
17 Magtindig ka, lakarin mo ang lupain, ang hinabahaba at niluwang-luwang niyan; sapagka't ibibigay ko sa iyo.
18 At binuhat ni Abram ang kaniyang tolda, at yumaon (N)at tumahan sa mga punong encina ni Mamre na (O)nasa Hebron, at siya'y nagtayo roon ng dambana sa Panginoon.
Genesis 13
1599 Geneva Bible
13 1 Abram departeth out of Egypt. 4 He calleth upon the Name of the Lord. 11 Lot departeth from him. 13 The wickedness of the Sodomites. 14 The promise made to Abram is renewed. 18 Abram buildeth an altar to the Lord.
1 Then [a]Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him toward the South.
2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver and in gold.
3 And he went on his journey from the South toward [b]Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,
4 Unto the place of the (A)altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the Name of the Lord.
5 ¶ And Lot also, who went with Abram, had sheep, and cattle and tents,
6 So that the land could not [c]bear them, that they might dwell together: for their (B)substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.
7 Also there was debate between the herdsmen of Abram’s cattle, and the herdsmen of Lot’s cattle, (and the [d]Canaanites and the Perizzites dwelleth at that time in the land.)
8 Then said Abram unto Lot, Let there be no [e]strife, I pray thee, between thee and me, neither between mine herdsmen and thine herdsmen: for we be brethren.
9 Is not the whole land before thee? depart I pray thee from me: if thou wilt [f]take the left hand, then I will go to the right: or if thou go to the right hand, then I will take the left.
10 So when Lot lifted up his eyes, he saw that all the plain of Jordan was watered everywhere (for before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, it was as the [g]garden of the Lord like the land of Egypt, as thou goest unto Zoar.)
11 Then Lot chose unto him all the plain of Jordan, and took his journey from the East: and they departed the [h]one from the other.
12 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot abode in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent even unto Sodom.
13 Now the men of Sodom were wicked and exceeding [i]sinners against the Lord.
14 ¶ Then the Lord said unto [j]Abram, (after that Lot was departed from him) Lift up thine eyes now, and look from the place where thou art, Northward, and Southward, and Eastward, and Westward:
15 For all (C)the land which thou seest, will I give unto thee, and to thy seed [k]forever,
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 be numbered.
17 Arise, walk through the land, in the length thereof, and breadth thereof: for I will give it unto thee.
18 Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelled in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the Lord.
