    Chapter13

    1FromEgyptAbramwentuptotheNegebwithhiswifeandallthatbelongedtohim,andLotaccompaniedhim.

    亚巴郎带了妻子和他所有的一切,与罗特一同由埃及上来,往乃革布去。

    2NowAbramwasveryrichinlivestock,silver,andgold.

    亚巴郎有许多牲畜和金银。

    3FromtheNegebhetraveledbystagestowardBethel,totheplacebetweenBethelandAiwherehistenthadformerlystood,

    他由乃革布逐渐往贝特耳移动帐幕,到了先前他在贝特耳与哈依之间,支搭帐幕的地方,

    4thesitewherehehadfirstbuiltthealtar;andthereheinvokedtheLORDbyname.

    亦即他先前筑了祭坛,呼求上主之名的地方。

    5Lot,whowentwithAbram,alsohadflocksandherdsandtents,

    与亚巴郎同行的罗特,也有羊群、牛群和帐幕,

    6sothatthelandcouldnotsupportthemiftheystayedtogether;theirpossessionsweresogreatthattheycouldnotdwelltogether.

    那地方容不下他们住在一起,因为他们的产业太多,无法住在一起。

    7TherewerequarrelsbetweentheherdsmenofAbram'slivestockandthoseofLot's.(AtthistimetheCanaanitesandthePerizziteswereoccupyingtheland.)

    牧放亚巴郎牲畜的人与牧放罗特牲畜的人,时常发生口角--当时客纳罕人和培黎齐人尚住在那里。

    8SoAbramsaidtoLot:"Lettherebenostrifebetweenyouandme,orbetweenyourherdsmenandmine,forwearekinsmen.

    亚巴郎遂对罗特说:"在我与你,我的牧人与你的牧人之间,请不要发生口角,因为我们是至亲。

    9Isnotthewholelandatyourdisposal?Pleaseseparatefromme.Ifyouprefertheleft,Iwillgototheright;ifyouprefertheright,Iwillgototheleft."

    所有的地方不是都在你面前吗?请你与我分开。你若往左,我就往右;你若往右,我就往左。"

    10LotlookedaboutandsawhowwellwateredthewholeJordanPlainwasasfarasZoar,liketheLORD'Sowngarden,orlikeEgypt.(ThiswasbeforetheLORDhaddestroyedSodomandGomorrah.)

    罗特举目看见约但河整个平原,直到左哈尔一带全有水灌溉,--这是在上主消灭索多玛和哈摩辣以前的事,--有如上主的乐园,有如埃及地。

    11Lot,therefore,choseforhimselfthewholeJordanPlainandsetouteastward.Thustheyseparatedfromeachother;

    罗特选了约但河的整个平原,遂向东方迁移;这样,他们就彼此分开了:

    12AbramstayedinthelandofCanaan,whileLotsettledamongthecitiesofthePlain,pitchinghistentsnearSodom.

    亚巴郎住在客纳罕地;罗特住在平原的城市中,渐渐移动帐幕,直到索多玛。

    13NowtheinhabitantsofSodomwereverywickedinthesinstheycommittedagainsttheLORD.

    索多玛人在上主面前罪大恶极。

    14AfterLothadleft,theLORDsaidtoAbram:"Lookaboutyou,andfromwhereyouare,gazetothenorthandsouth,eastandwest;

    罗特与亚巴郎分离以后,上主对亚巴郎说:"请你举起眼来,由你所在的地方,向东西南北观看;

    15allthelandthatyouseeIwillgivetoyouandyourdescendantsforever.

    凡你看见的地方,我都要永远赐给你和你的后裔。

    16Iwillmakeyourdescendantslikethedustoftheearth;ifanyonecouldcountthedustoftheearth,yourdescendantstoomightbecounted.

    我要使你的后裔有如地上的灰尘;如果人能数清地上的灰尘,也能数清你的后裔。

    17Setforthandwalkaboutintheland,throughitslengthandbreadth,fortoyouIwillgiveit."

    你起来,纵横走遍这地,因为我要将这地赐给你。"

    18AbrammovedhistentsandwentontosettleneartheterebinthofMamre,whichisatHebron.TherehebuiltanaltartotheLORD.

    于是亚巴郎移动了帐幕,来到赫贝龙的玛默勒橡树区居住,在那里给上主筑了一座祭坛。
