創世記 13
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1亞伯蘭 帶着他的妻子與 羅得 ,並一切所有的,都從 埃及 上南地去。
1So Abram went up out of Egypt into the Negev—he and his wife and all his possessions—and Lot was with him.
2亞伯蘭 的金、銀、牲畜極多。
2And Abram had become extremely wealthy in livestock and silver and gold.
3他從南地漸漸往 伯特利 去,到了 伯特利 和 艾 的中間,就是從前支搭帳棚的地方,
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,
4也是他起先築壇的地方;他又在那裏求告耶和華的名。
4to the site where he had built the altar. And there Abram called on the name of the LORD.
5與 亞伯蘭 同行的 羅得 也有牛群、羊群、帳棚。
5Now Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents.
6那地容不下他們;因為他們的財物甚多,使他們不能同居。
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.
7當時, 迦南 人與 比利洗 人在那地居住。 亞伯蘭 的牧人和 羅得 的牧人相爭。
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.
8亞伯蘭 就對 羅得 說:「你我不可相爭,你的牧人和我的牧人也不可相爭,因為我們是骨肉。
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.
9遍地不都在你眼前嗎?請你離開我:你向左,我就向右;你向右,我就向左。」
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.”
10羅得 舉目看見 約旦河 的全平原,直到 瑣珥 ,都是滋潤的,那地在耶和華未滅 所多瑪 、 蛾摩拉 以先如同耶和華的園子,也像 埃及 地。
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.)
11於是 羅得 選擇 約旦河 的全平原,往東遷移;他們就彼此分離了。
11So Lot chose the whole plain of the Jordan for himself and set out toward the east. And Abram and Lot parted company.
12亞伯蘭 住在 迦南 地, 羅得 住在平原的城邑,漸漸挪移帳棚,直到 所多瑪 。
12Abram lived in the land of Canaan, but Lot settled in the cities of the plain and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
13所多瑪 人在耶和華面前罪大惡極。
13But the men of Sodom were wicked, sinning greatly against the LORD.
14羅得 離別 亞伯蘭 以後,耶和華對 亞伯蘭 說:「從你所在的地方,你舉目向東西南北觀看;
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,
15凡你所看見的一切地,我都要賜給你和你的後裔,直到永遠。
15for all the land that you see, I will give to you and your offspring forever.
16我也要使你的後裔如同地上的塵沙那樣多,人若能數算地上的塵沙才能數算你的後裔。
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.
17你起來,縱橫走遍這地,因為我必把這地賜給你。」
17Get up and walk around the land, through its length and breadth, for I will give it to you.”
18亞伯蘭 就搬了帳棚,來到 希伯崙 幔利 的橡樹那裏居住,在那裏為耶和華築了一座壇。
18So Abram moved his tent and went to live near the Oaks of Mamre at Hebron, where he built an altar to the LORD.
