Genesis 13
World English Bible
13 Abram went up out of Egypt—he, his wife, all that he had, and Lot with him—into the South. 2 Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold. 3 He went on his journeys from the South as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai, 4 to the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first. There Abram called on Yahweh’s name. 5 Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, herds, and tents. 6 The land was not able to bear them, that they might live together; for their possessions were so great that they couldn’t live together. 7 There was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. The Canaanites and the Perizzites lived in the land at that time. 8 Abram said to Lot, “Please, let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen; for we are relatives. 9 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 Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well-watered everywhere, before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt, as you go to Zoar. 11 So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated themselves from one another. 12 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 Now the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinners against Yahweh.
14 Yahweh said to Abram, after Lot was separated from him, “Now, lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward, 15 for I will give all the land which you see to you and to your offspring forever. 16 I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if a man can count the dust of the earth, then your offspring may also be counted. 17 Arise, walk through the land in its length and in its width; for I will give it to you.”
18 Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to Yahweh.
创世记 13
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
亞伯蘭返回迦南
13 亞伯蘭帶著妻子和所有的一切，以及羅得，一同從埃及上到南地去。 2 亞伯蘭有很多牲畜和金銀。 3 他從南地一站一站往前走，到伯特利去；到伯特利和艾城中間，就是他起先支搭帳棚的地方， 4 也是他築頭一座祭壇的地方，亞伯蘭就在那裡求告耶和華的名。 5 和亞伯蘭同行的羅得，也有羊群、牛群和帳棚。
亞伯蘭與羅得分手
6 那地容不下他們住在一起；因為他們的財物很多，所以他們再也不能住在一起。 7 牧養亞伯蘭牲畜的和牧養羅得牲畜的，起了紛爭；當時迦南人和比利洗人還住在那地。 8 亞伯蘭就對羅得說：“你我之間，切不可紛爭；你的牧人和我的牧人之間，也不可紛爭，因為我們是至親。 9 全地不都是在你面前嗎？請你離開我吧！你若向左，我就向右；你若向右，我就向左。” 10 羅得舉目，看見約旦河整個平原，直到瑣珥，都有水灌溉；在耶和華毀滅所多瑪和蛾摩拉之前，這地好像耶和華的園子，也像埃及地一樣。 11 羅得選擇了約旦河整個平原，於是向東移動，他們就彼此分開了。 12 亞伯蘭住在迦南地；羅得住在平原的城市中，漸漸挪移帳棚，直到所多瑪。 13 在耶和華看來，所多瑪人是罪大惡極的。
亞伯蘭獲得之應許
14 羅得離開亞伯蘭以後，耶和華對亞伯蘭說：“你要舉目，從你所在的地方向東南西北觀看。 15 你看見的地方，我都要賜給你和你的後裔，直到永遠。 16 我要使你的後裔好像地上灰塵那麼多；若能數算地上的灰塵，才能數算你的後裔。 17 你起來，縱橫走遍這地，因為我必把這地賜給你。” 18 於是，亞伯蘭漸漸挪移帳棚，來到希伯崙幔利的橡樹附近，在那裡居住，也在那裡為耶和華築了一座祭壇。
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.
