ΓΕΝΕΣΙΣ - Genesi - Genesis 13

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Ανεβη δε ο Αβραμ εξ Αιγυπτου, αυτος και η γυνη αυτου, και παντα οσα ειχε, και ο Λωτ μετ' αυτου, προς μεσημβριαν.	1 Therefore, Abram ascended from Egypt, he and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, toward the southern region.
2 Και ο Αβραμ ητο πλουσιος σφοδρα εις κτηνη, εις αργυριον και εις χρυσιον.	2 But he was very wealthy by the possession of gold and silver.
3 Και υπηγεν οδευων απο μεσημβριας εως Βαιθηλ εως του τοπου οπου ητο η σκηνη αυτου το προτερον μεταξυ Βαιθηλ και Γαι?	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.
4 εις τον τοπον του θυσιαστηριου, το οποιον ειχε καμει εκει καταρχας? και επεκαλεσθη εκει ο Αβραμ το ονομα του Κυριου.	4 There, at the place of the altar he had made before, he again called upon the name of the Lord.
5 Και ο Λωτ ακομη, ο συμπορευομενος μετα του Αβραμ, ειχε προβατα και βοας και σκηνας.	5 But Lot also, who was with Abram, had flocks of sheep, and cattle, and tents.
6 Και δεν εχωρει αυτους η γη δια να κατοικωσιν ομου? διοτι ησαν τα υπαρχοντα αυτων πολλα, και δεν ηδυναντο να κατοικωσιν ομου.	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.
7 Και συνεβη ερις μεταξυ των ποιμενων των κτηνων του Αβραμ και των ποιμενων των κτηνων του Λωτ? οι δε Χαναναιοι και οι Φερεζαιοι κατωκουν τοτε την γην.	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.
8 Ειπε δε ο Αβραμ προς τον Λωτ, Ας μη ηναι, παρακαλω, ερις μεταξυ εμου και σου και μεταξυ των ποιμενων μου και των ποιμενων σου? διοτι αδελφοι ειμεθα ημεις?	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.
9 δεν ειναι πασα η γη εμπροσθεν σου; διαχωρισθητι λοιπον απ' εμου? εαν συ υπαγης εις τα αριστερα, εγω υπαγω εις τα δεξια? και εαν συ εις τα δεξια, εγω εις τα αριστερα.	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.”
10 Και υψωσας ο Λωτ τους οφθαλμους αυτου, ειδε πασαν την περιχωρον του Ιορδανου, οτι εποτιζετο ολη προ του να καταστρεψη ο Κυριος τα Σοδομα και τα Γομορρα, ως παραδεισος του Κυριου, ως η γη της Αιγυπτου, εως να υπαγη τις εις Σηγωρ.	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.
11 Και εκλεξεν εις εαυτον ο Λωτ πασαν την περιχωρον του Ιορδανου? και μετεσκηνωσεν ο Λωτ προς ανατολας, και διεχωρισθησαν ο εις απο του αλλου.	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.
12 Ο μεν Αβραμ κατωκησεν εν τη γη Χανααν? ο δε Λωτ κατωκησε μεταξυ των πολεων της περιχωρου, και εστησε τας σκηνας αυτου εως Σοδομων.	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.
13 Οι δε ανθρωποι των Σοδομων ησαν κακοι και αμαρτωλοι σφοδρα ενωπιον του Κυριου.	13 But the men of Sodom were very wicked, and they were sinners before the Lord beyond measure.
14 Και ειπε Κυριος προς τον Αβραμ, αφου διεχωρισθη ο Λωτ απ' αυτου, Υψωσον τωρα τους οφθαλμους σου, και ιδε απο του τοπου οπου εισαι, προς αρκτον και μεσημβριαν και ανατολην και δυσιν?	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.
15 διοτι πασαν την γην την οποιαν βλεπεις, εις σε θελω δωσει αυτην και εις το σπερμα σου εως αιωνος?	15 All the land that you see, I will give to you, and to your offspring even forever.
16 και θελω καταστησει το σπερμα σου ως την αμμον της γης? ωστε εαν δυναται τις να εξαριθμηση την αμμον της γης, θελει αριθμηθη και το σπερμα σου.	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.
17 Σηκωθεις διοδευσον την γην εις τε το μηκος αυτης και εις το πλατος αυτης? διοτι εις σε θελω δωσει αυτην.	17 Arise and walk through the land in its length, and breadth. For I will give it to you.”
18 Και εσηκωσε την σκηνην αυτου ο Αβραμ, και ελθων κατωκησε πλησιον των δρυων Μαμβρη, αιτινες ειναι εν Χεβρων, και ωκοδομησεν εκει θυσιαστηριον εις τον Κυριον.	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.
