ΓΕΝΕΣΙΣ - Genesi - Genesis 13

LXX	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 ανεβη δε αβραμ εξ αιγυπτου αυτος και η γυνη αυτου και παντα τα αυτου και λωτ μετ' αυτου εις την ερημον	1 From Egypt Abram went up to the Negeb with his wife and all that belonged to him, and Lot accompanied him.
2 αβραμ δε ην πλουσιος σφοδρα κτηνεσιν και αργυριω και χρυσιω	2 Now Abram was very rich in livestock, silver, and gold.
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 αγγαι	3 From the Negeb he traveled by stages toward Bethel, to the place between Bethel and Ai where his tent had formerly stood,
4 εις τον τοπον του θυσιαστηριου ου εποιησεν εκει την αρχην και επεκαλεσατο εκει αβραμ το ονομα κυριου	4 the site where he had first built the altar; and there he invoked the LORD by name.
5 και λωτ τω συμπορευομενω μετα αβραμ ην προβατα και βοες και σκηναι	5 Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents,
6 και ουκ εχωρει αυτους η γη κατοικειν αμα οτι ην τα υπαρχοντα αυτων πολλα και ουκ εδυναντο κατοικειν αμα	6 so that the land could not support them if they stayed together; their possessions were so great that they could not dwell together.
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 γην	7 There were quarrels between the herdsmen of Abram's livestock and those of Lot's. (At this time the Canaanites and the Perizzites were occupying the 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 εσμεν	8 So Abram said to Lot: "Let there be no strife between you and me, or between your herdsmen and mine, for we are kinsmen.
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 αριστερα	9 Is not the whole land at your disposal? Please separate from me. If you prefer the left, I will go to the right; if you prefer the right, I will go 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 ζογορα	10 Lot looked about and saw how well watered the whole Jordan Plain was as far as Zoar, like the LORD'S own garden, or like Egypt. (This was before the LORD had destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)
11 και εξελεξατο εαυτω λωτ πασαν την περιχωρον του ιορδανου και απηρεν λωτ απο ανατολων και διεχωρισθησαν εκαστος απο του αδελφου αυτου	11 Lot, therefore, chose for himself the whole Jordan Plain and set out eastward. Thus they separated from each other;
12 αβραμ δε κατωκησεν εν γη χανααν λωτ δε κατωκησεν εν πολει των περιχωρων και εσκηνωσεν εν σοδομοις	12 Abram stayed in the land of Canaan, while Lot settled among the cities of the Plain, pitching his tents near Sodom.
13 οι δε ανθρωποι οι εν σοδομοις πονηροι και αμαρτωλοι εναντιον του θεου σφοδρα	13 Now the inhabitants of Sodom were very wicked in the sins they committed against the LORD.
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 θαλασσαν	14 After Lot had left, the LORD said to Abram: "Look about you, and from where you are, gaze to the north and south, east and west;
15 οτι πασαν την γην ην συ ορας σοι δωσω αυτην και τω σπερματι σου εως του αιωνος	15 all the land that you see I will give to you and your descendants forever.
16 και ποιησω το σπερμα σου ως την αμμον της γης ει δυναται τις εξαριθμησαι την αμμον της γης και το σπερμα σου εξαριθμηθησεται	16 I will make your descendants like the dust of the earth; if anyone could count the dust of the earth, your descendants too might be counted.
17 αναστας διοδευσον την γην εις τε το μηκος αυτης και εις το πλατος οτι σοι δωσω αυτην	17 Set forth and walk about in the land, through its length and breadth, for to you I will give it."
18 και αποσκηνωσας αβραμ ελθων κατωκησεν παρα την δρυν την μαμβρη η ην εν χεβρων και ωκοδομησεν εκει θυσιαστηριον κυριω	18 Abram moved his tents and went on to settle near the terebinth of Mamre, which is at Hebron. There he built an altar to the LORD.
