Genesis 13

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	BIBBIA VOLGARE
1 Therefore, Abram ascended from Egypt, he and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, toward the southern region.	1 Partissi adunque Abram d'Egitto, egli e la moglie sua ed ogni cosa che egli avea, e Lot alla parte australe con lui.
2 But he was very wealthy by the possession of gold and silver.	2 Era in verità molto ricco in possessione d'argento e d'oro.
3 And he returned by the way that he came, from the meridian into Bethel, all the way to the place where before he had pitched his tent, between Bethel and Hai.	3 E tornato si è per quello luogo per lo quale era venuto, dal meridie intra Betel per fine al luogo del tabernacolo,
4 There, at the place of the altar he had made before, he again called upon the name of the Lord.	4 ch' egli avea fatto prima; e chiamoe quivi lo nome del Signore.
5 But Lot also, who was with Abram, had flocks of sheep, and cattle, and tents.	5 Ma Lot, il quale era con Abram, avea greggie di pecore ed armenta e tabernacoli.
6 Neither was the land able to contain them, so that they might dwell together. Indeed, their substance was so great that they could not live in common.	6 E non potea tenere loro la terra, ch' eglino abitassero insieme; ed era in verità la sostanza loro molta, e non poteano abitare insieme.
7 And then there also arose a conflict between the shepherds of Abram and of Lot. Now at that time the Canaanite and the Perizzite lived in that land.	7 Onde fatta è zuffa tra i pastori delle greggie di Abram e di Lot. In quello medesimo tempo lo Cananeo e Ferezeo abitavano in quella terra.
8 Therefore, Abram said to Lot: “I ask you, let there be no quarrel between me and you, and between my shepherds and your shepherds. For we are brothers.	8 Disse adunque Abram a Lot: io t'addomando che non sia lite tra te e me, ed intra' pastori miei ed intra' i pastori tuoi; chè fratelli noi siamo.
9 Behold, the entire land is before your eyes. Withdraw from me, I beg you. If you will go to the left, I will take the right. If you choose the right, I will pass to the left.”	9 Ecco tutta la terra innanzi a te; ed io ti prego che tu ti parti da me: se tu andarae dalla mano manca, ed io dalla dritta terrò; se tu isceglierai dalla dritta, ed io terrò dalla manca.
10 And so Lot, lifting up his eyes, saw all the region around the Jordan, which was thoroughly irrigated, before the Lord overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. It was like the Paradise of the Lord, and it was like Egypt, approaching toward Zoar.	10 E levati dunque Lot gli occhii, vidde ogni regione intorno al Giordano, il quale le bagnava, inanzi che sovertisse il Signore Sodoma e Gomorra, sì come paradiso del Signore, e si come l'Egitto a quelli vegnenti in Segor.
11 And Lot chose for himself the region around the Jordan, and he withdrew by way of the east. And they were divided, one brother from the other.	11 Ed elesse a sè Lot la regione intorno al Giordano, e partissi dall'oriente; e divisero ciascuno dal suo fratello.
12 Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan. In truth, Lot stayed in the towns that were around the Jordan, and he lived in Sodom.	12 Abram abitoe nella terra di Canaan; Lot stette nelle terre le quali erano intorno al Giordano, ed abitoe poi in Sodoma.
13 But the men of Sodom were very wicked, and they were sinners before the Lord beyond measure.	13 In verità gli uomini di Sodoma erano pessimi; ed erano peccatori dinanzi al Signore troppo.
14 And the Lord said to Abram, after Lot was divided from him: “Lift up your eyes, and gaze out from the place where you are now, to the north and to the meridian, to the east and to the west.	14 E disse il Signore ad Abram, poscia che si partì Lot da lui: lieva gli occhii tuoi, e poni mente, dal luogo dove ora sei, all'aquilone e al meridie, e all'oriente e all'occidente.
15 All the land that you see, I will give to you, and to your offspring even forever.	15 Ogni terra, la quale puoi tu vedere, a te darò e al seme tuo per sempre.
16 And I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth. If any man is able to number the dust of the earth, he will be able to number your offspring as well.	16 E farò lo seme tuo sì come la polvere della terra; se alcuno potesse annumerare la polvere, il seme tuo potrà annumerare.
17 Arise and walk through the land in its length, and breadth. For I will give it to you.”	17 Leva su, e va sopra la terra in lunghezza ed in larghezza sua; imperciò ch' io ti darò quella.
18 Therefore, moving his tent, Abram went and dwelt by the steep valley of Mamre, which is in Hebron. And he built an altar there to the Lord.	18 Movente si adunque Abram lo tabernacolo suo, venne ed abitò appo convalle Mambre, la quale è in Ebron; ed edificò qui l'altare al Signore.
