The Latin Vulgate w/ Apocrypha VULA
New International Version NIV
1 ascendit ergo Abram de Aegypto ipse et uxor eius et omnia quae habebat et Loth cum eo ad australem plagam
1
So Abram went up from Egypt to the Negev, with his wife and everything he had, and Lot went with him.
2 erat autem dives valde in possessione argenti et auri
2
Abram had become very wealthy in livestock and in silver and gold.
3 reversusque est per iter quo venerat a meridie in Bethel usque ad locum ubi prius fixerat tabernaculum inter Bethel et Ai
3
From the Negev he went from place to place until he came to Bethel, to the place between Bethel and Ai where his tent had been earlier
4 in loco altaris quod fecerat prius et invocavit ibi nomen Domini
4
and where he had first built an altar. There Abram called on the name of the LORD.
5 sed et Loth qui erat cum Abram fuerunt greges ovium et armenta et tabernacula
5
Now Lot, who was moving about with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents.
6 nec poterat eos capere terra ut habitarent simul erat quippe substantia eorum multa et non quibant habitare communiter
6
But the land could not support them while they stayed together, for their possessions were so great that they were not able to stay together.
7 unde et facta est rixa inter pastores gregum Abram et Loth eo autem tempore Chananeus et Ferezeus habitabant in illa terra
7
And quarreling arose between Abram’s herders and Lot’s. The Canaanites and Perizzites were also living in the land at that time.
8 dixit ergo Abram ad Loth ne quaeso sit iurgium inter me et te et inter pastores meos et pastores tuos fratres enim sumus
8
So Abram said to Lot, “Let’s not have any quarreling between you and me, or between your herders and mine, for we are close relatives.
9 ecce universa terra coram te est recede a me obsecro si ad sinistram ieris ego ad dexteram tenebo si tu dexteram elegeris ego ad sinistram pergam
9
Is not the whole land before you? Let’s part company. If you go to the left, I’ll go to the right; if you go to the right, I’ll go to the left.”
10 elevatis itaque Loth oculis vidit omnem circa regionem Iordanis quae universa inrigabatur antequam subverteret Dominus Sodomam et Gomorram sicut paradisus Domini et sicut Aegyptus venientibus in Segor
10
Lot looked around and saw that the whole plain of the Jordan toward Zoar was well watered, like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt. (This was before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)
11 elegitque sibi Loth regionem circa Iordanem et recessit ab oriente divisique sunt alterutrum a fratre suo
11
So Lot chose for himself the whole plain of the Jordan and set out toward the east. The two men parted company:
12 Abram habitavit in terra Chanaan Loth moratus est in oppidis quae erant circa Iordanem et habitavit in Sodomis
12
Abram lived in the land of Canaan, while Lot lived among the cities of the plain and pitched his tents near Sodom.
13 homines autem Sodomitae pessimi erant et peccatores coram Domino nimis
13
Now the people of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.
14 dixitque Dominus ad Abram postquam divisus est Loth ab eo leva oculos tuos et vide a loco in quo nunc es ad aquilonem et ad meridiem ad orientem et ad occidentem
14
The LORD said to Abram after Lot had parted from him, “Look around from where you are, to the north and south, to the east and west.
15 omnem terram quam conspicis tibi dabo et semini tuo usque in sempiternum
15
All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring forever.
16 faciamque semen tuum sicut pulverem terrae si quis potest hominum numerare pulverem semen quoque tuum numerare poterit
16
I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth, so that if anyone could count the dust, then your offspring could be counted.
17 surge et perambula terram in longitudine et in latitudine sua quia tibi daturus sum eam
17
Go, walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I am giving it to you.”
18 movens igitur Abram tabernaculum suum venit et habitavit iuxta convallem Mambre quod est in Hebron aedificavitque ibi altare Domino
18
So Abram went to live near the great trees of Mamre at Hebron, where he pitched his tents. There he built an altar to the LORD.
