# 创-Gen 13 ## 创13:1 亚伯兰带着他的妻子与罗得，并一切所有的，都从埃及上南地去。 Gen 13:1 “So Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the Negeb.” ## 创13:2 亚伯兰的金、银、牲畜极多。 Gen 13:2 “Now Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.” ## 创13:3 他从南地渐渐往伯特利去，到了伯特利和艾的中间，就是从前支搭帐棚的地方， Gen 13:3 “And he journeyed on from the Negeb as far as Bethel to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,” ## 创13:4 也是他起先筑坛的地方，他又在那里求告耶和华的名。 Gen 13:4 to the place where he had made an altar at the first. And there Abram called upon the name of the LORD. ## 创13:5 与亚伯兰同行的罗得，也有牛群、羊群、帐棚。 Gen 13:5 “And Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents,” ## 创13:6 那地容不下他们，因为他们的财物甚多，使他们不能同居。 Gen 13:6 “so that the land could not support both of them dwelling together; for their possessions were so great that they could not dwell together,” ## 创13:7 当时，迦南人与比利洗人在那地居住。亚伯兰的牧人和罗得的牧人相争。 Gen 13:7 and there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. At that time the Canaanites and the Perizzites were dwelling in the land. ## 创13:8 亚伯兰就对罗得说：“你我不可相争，你的牧人和我的牧人也不可相争，因为我们是骨肉(原文作“弟兄”)。 Gen 13:8 “Then Abram said to Lot, “Let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen, for we are kinsmen.” ## 创13:9 遍地不都在你眼前吗？请你离开我：你向左，我就向右；你向右，我就向左。” Gen 13:9 “Is not the whole land before you? Separate yourself from me. If you take the left hand, then I will go to the right, or if you take the right hand, then I will go to the left.” ## 创13:10 罗得举目看见约但河的全平原，直到琐珥，都是滋润的，那地在耶和华未灭所多玛、蛾摩拉以先，如同耶和华的园子，也象埃及地。 Gen 13:10 “And Lot lifted up his eyes and saw that the Jordan Valley was well watered everywhere like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, in the direction of Zoar. (This was before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)” ## 创13:11 于是罗得选择约但河的全平原，往东迁移；他们就彼此分离了。 Gen 13:11 “So Lot chose for himself all the Jordan Valley, and Lot journeyed east. Thus they separated from each other.” ## 创13:12 亚伯兰住在迦南地，罗得住在平原的城邑，渐渐挪移帐棚，直到所多玛。 Gen 13:12 “Abram settled in the land of Canaan, while Lot settled among the cities of the valley and moved his tent as far as Sodom.” ## 创13:13 所多玛人在耶和华面前罪大恶极。 Gen 13:13 “Now the men of Sodom were wicked, great sinners against the LORD.” ## 创13:14 罗得离别亚伯兰以后，耶和华对亚伯兰说：“从你所在的地方，你举目向东西南北观看； Gen 13:14 “The LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, “Lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward,” ## 创13:15 凡你所看见的一切地，我都要赐给你和你的后裔，直到永远。 Gen 13:15 for all the land that you see I will give to you and to your offspring forever. ## 创13:16 我也要使你的后裔如同地上的尘沙那样多，人若能数算地上的尘沙，才能数算你的后裔。 Gen 13:16 “I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if one can count the dust of the earth, your offspring also can be counted.” ## 创13:17 你起来，纵横走遍这地，因为我必把这地赐给你。” Gen 13:17 “Arise, walk through the length and the breadth of the land, for I will give it to you.” ## 创13:18 亚伯兰就搬了帐棚，来到希伯仑幔利的橡树那里居住，在那里为耶和华筑了一座坛。 Gen 13:18 “So Abram moved his tent and came and settled by the oaks of Mamre, which are at Hebron, and there he built an altar to the LORD.”
