Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1So Abram went up out of Egypt into the Negev—he and his wife and all his possessions—and Lot was with him.
1Ἀνέβη δὲ Ἅβραμ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου αὐτὸς, καὶ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντα τὰ αὐτοῦ, καὶ Λὼτ μετʼ αὐτοῦ, εἰς τὴν ἔρημον.
2And Abram had become extremely wealthy in livestock and silver and gold.
2Ἅβραμ δὲ ἦν πλούσιος σφόδρα κτήνεσι, καὶ ἀργυρίῳ, καὶ χρυσίῳ.
3From the Negev he journeyed from place to place toward Bethel, until he came to the place between Bethel and Ai where his tent had formerly been pitched,
3Καὶ ἐπορεύθη ὅθεν ἦλθεν εἰς τὴν ἔρημον ἕως Βαιθὴλ, ἕως τοῦ τόπου οὗ ἦν ἡ σκηνὴ αὐτοῦ τὸ πρότερον, ἀνὰ μέσον Βαιθὴλ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Ἀγγαί,
4to the site where he had built the altar. And there Abram called on the name of the LORD.
4εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου, οὗ ἐποίησεν ἐκεῖ τὴν ἀρχὴν, καὶ ἐπεκαλέσατο ἐκεῖ Ἅβραμ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Κυρίου.
5Now Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents.
5Καὶ Λὼτ τῷ συμπορευομένῳ μετὰ Ἅβραμ ἦν πρόβατα, καὶ βόες, καὶ σκηναί.
6But the land was unable to support both of them while they stayed together, for they had so many possessions that they were unable to coexist.
6Καὶ οὐκ ἐχώρει αὐτοὺς ἡ γῆ κατοικεῖν ἅμα, ὅτι ἦν τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτῶν πολλά· καὶ οὐκ ἐχώρει αὐτοὺδ ἡ γῆ κατοικεῖν ἅμα.
7And there was discord between the herdsmen of Abram and the herdsmen of Lot. At that time the Canaanites and the Perizzites were also living in the land.
7Καὶ ἐγενετο μάχη ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ποιμένων τῶν κτηνῶν τοῦ Ἅβραμ, καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ποιμένων τῶν κτηνῶν τοῦ Λώτ· οἱ δὲ Χαναναῖοι καὶ οἱ Φερεζαῖοι τότε κατῴκουν τὴν γῆν.
8So Abram said to Lot, “Please let there be no contention between you and me, or between your herdsmen and my herdsmen. After all, we are brothers.
8Εἶπε δὲ Ἅβραμ τῷ Λὼτ, μὴ ἔστω μάχη ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ σοῦ, καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ποιμένων μου καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ποιμένων σοῦ, ὅτι ἄνθρωποι ἀδελφοὶ ἐσμὲν ἡμεῖς.
9Is not the whole land before you? Now separate yourself from me. If you go to the left, I will go to the right; if you go to the right, I will go to the left.”
9Οὐκ ἰδοὺ πᾶσα ἡ γῆ ἐναντίον σου ἐστί; διαχωρίσθητι ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ· εἰ σὺ εἰς ἀριστερὰ, ἐγὼ εἰς δεξιά· εἰ δὲ σὺ εἰς δεξιὰ, ἐγὼ εἰς ἀριστερά.
10And Lot looked out and saw that the whole plain of the Jordan, all the way to Zoar, was well watered like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt. (This was before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)
10Καὶ ἐπάρας Λὼτ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ, ἐπεῖδε πᾶσαν τὴν περίχωρον τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, ὅτι πᾶσα ἦν ποτιζομένη, πρὸ τοῦ καταστρέψαι τὸν Θεὸν Σόδομα καὶ Γόμοῤῥα, ὡς ὁ παράδεισος τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ ὡς ἡ γῆ Αἰγύπτου, ἕως ἐλθεῖν εἰς Ζόγορα.
11So Lot chose the whole plain of the Jordan for himself and set out toward the east. And Abram and Lot parted company.
11Καὶ ἐξελέξατο ἑαυτῷ Λὼτ πᾶσαν τὴν περίχωρον τοῦ Ἰορδάνου· καὶ ἀπῇρε Λὼτ ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν· καὶ διεχωρίσθησαν ἕκαστος ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ.
12Abram lived in the land of Canaan, but Lot settled in the cities of the plain and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
12Ἅβραμ δὲ κατῴκησεν ἐν γῇ Χαναάν· Λὼτ δὲ κατῴκησεν ἐν πόλει τῶν περιχώρων, καὶ ἐσκήνωσεν ἐν Σοδόμοις.
13But the men of Sodom were wicked, sinning greatly against the LORD.
13Οἱ δὲ ἄνθρωποι οἱ ἐν Σοδόμοις πονηροὶ καὶ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἐναντίον τοῦ Θεοῦ σφόδρα.
14After Lot had departed, the LORD said to Abram, “Now lift up your eyes from the place where you are, and look to the north and south and east and west,
14Ὁ δὲ Θεὸς εἶπε τῷ Ἅβραμ μετὰ τὸ διαχωρισθῆναι τὸν Λὼτ ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ, ἀνάβλεψον τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς σου, καὶ ἴδε ἀπὸ τοῦ τόπου οὗ νῦν σὺ εἶ πρὸς βοῤῥὰν καὶ λίβα καὶ ἀνατολὰς καὶ θάλασσαν·
15for all the land that you see, I will give to you and your offspring forever.
15ὅτι πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν, ἣν σὺ ὁρᾷς, σοὶ δώσω αὐτὴν καὶ τῷ σπέρματί σου ἕως αἰῶνος.
16I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth, so that if one could count the dust of the earth, then your offspring could be counted.
16Καὶ ποιήσω τὸ σπέρμα σου, ὡς τὴν ἄμμον τῆς γῆς· εἰ δύναταί τις ἐξαριθμῆσαι τὴν ἄμμον τῆς γῆς, καὶ τὸ σπέρμα σου ἐξαριθμηθήσεται.
17Get up and walk around the land, through its length and breadth, for I will give it to you.”
17Ἀναστὰς διόδευσον τὴν γῆν εἴς τε τὸ μῆκος αὐτῆς καὶ εἰς τὸ πλάτος· ὅτι σοι δώσω αὐτὴν καὶ τῷ σπέρματί σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.
18So Abram moved his tent and went to live near the Oaks of Mamre at Hebron, where he built an altar to the LORD.
18Καὶ ἀποσκηνώσας Ἅβραμ, ἐλθὼν κατῴκησε παρὰ τὴν δρῦν τὴν Μαμβρῆ, ἣ ἦν ἐν Χεβρὼμ, καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ θυσιαστήριον τῷ Κυρίῳ.
