1 ανεβη δε αβραμ εξ αιγυπτου αυτος και η γυνη αυτου και παντα τα αυτου και λωτ μετ' αυτου εις την ερημον1 Therefore, Abram ascended from Egypt, he and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, toward the southern region.
2 αβραμ δε ην πλουσιος σφοδρα κτηνεσιν και αργυριω και χρυσιω2 But he was very wealthy by the possession of gold and silver.
3 και επορευθη οθεν ηλθεν εις την ερημον εως βαιθηλ εως του τοπου ου ην η σκηνη αυτου το προτερον ανα μεσον βαιθηλ και ανα μεσον αγγαι3 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 ου εποιησεν εκει την αρχην και επεκαλεσατο εκει αβραμ το ονομα κυριου4 There, at the place of the altar he had made before, he again called upon the name of the Lord.
5 και λωτ τω συμπορευομενω μετα αβραμ ην προβατα και βοες και σκηναι5 But Lot also, who was with Abram, had flocks of sheep, and cattle, and tents.
6 και ουκ εχωρει αυτους η γη κατοικειν αμα οτι ην τα υπαρχοντα αυτων πολλα και ουκ εδυναντο κατοικειν αμα6 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 εγενετο μαχη ανα μεσον των ποιμενων των κτηνων του αβραμ και ανα μεσον των ποιμενων των κτηνων του λωτ οι δε χαναναιοι και οι φερεζαιοι τοτε κατωκουν την γην7 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 ειπεν δε αβραμ τω λωτ μη εστω μαχη ανα μεσον εμου και σου και ανα μεσον των ποιμενων μου και ανα μεσον των ποιμενων σου οτι ανθρωποι αδελφοι ημεις εσμεν8 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 ουκ ιδου πασα η γη εναντιον σου εστιν διαχωρισθητι απ' εμου ει συ εις αριστερα εγω εις δεξια ει δε συ εις δεξια εγω εις αριστερα9 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 επαρας λωτ τους οφθαλμους αυτου ειδεν πασαν την περιχωρον του ιορδανου οτι πασα ην ποτιζομενη προ του καταστρεψαι τον θεον σοδομα και γομορρα ως ο παραδεισος του θεου και ως η γη αιγυπτου εως ελθειν εις ζογορα10 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 εξελεξατο εαυτω λωτ πασαν την περιχωρον του ιορδανου και απηρεν λωτ απο ανατολων και διεχωρισθησαν εκαστος απο του αδελφου αυτου11 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 αβραμ δε κατωκησεν εν γη χανααν λωτ δε κατωκησεν εν πολει των περιχωρων και εσκηνωσεν εν σοδομοις12 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 οι εν σοδομοις πονηροι και αμαρτωλοι εναντιον του θεου σφοδρα13 But the men of Sodom were very wicked, and they were sinners before the Lord beyond measure.
14 ο δε θεος ειπεν τω αβραμ μετα το διαχωρισθηναι τον λωτ απ' αυτου αναβλεψας τοις οφθαλμοις σου ιδε απο του τοπου ου νυν συ ει προς βορραν και λιβα και ανατολας και θαλασσαν14 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 οτι πασαν την γην ην συ ορας σοι δωσω αυτην και τω σπερματι σου εως του αιωνος15 All the land that you see, I will give to you, and to your offspring even forever.
16 και ποιησω το σπερμα σου ως την αμμον της γης ει δυναται τις εξαριθμησαι την αμμον της γης και το σπερμα σου εξαριθμηθησεται16 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 αναστας διοδευσον την γην εις τε το μηκος αυτης και εις το πλατος οτι σοι δωσω αυτην17 Arise and walk through the land in its length, and breadth. For I will give it to you.”
18 και αποσκηνωσας αβραμ ελθων κατωκησεν παρα την δρυν την μαμβρη η ην εν χεβρων και ωκοδομησεν εκει θυσιαστηριον κυριω18 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.
