The Latin Vulgate VUL
New King James Version NKJV
1 ascendit ergo Abram de Aegypto ipse et uxor eius et omnia quae habebat et Loth cum eo ad australem plagam
1
Then Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife and all that he had, and Lot with him, to the South.
2 erat autem dives valde in possessione argenti et auri
2
Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.
3 reversusque est per iter quo venerat a meridie in Bethel usque ad locum ubi prius fixerat tabernaculum inter Bethel et Ai
3
And he went on his journey from the South as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,
4 in loco altaris quod fecerat prius et invocavit ibi nomen Domini
4
to the place of the altar which he had made there at first. And 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
Lot also, who went with Abram, 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
Now the land was not able to support them, that they might dwell together, for their possessions were so great that they could not dwell 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 there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram's livestock and the herdsmen of Lot's livestock. The Canaanites and the Perizzites then dwelt in the land.
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, "Please let there be no strife between you and me, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are brethren.
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? Please separate from me. If you take the left, then I will go to the right; or, if you go to the right, then I will 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
And Lot lifted his eyes and saw all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere (before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah) like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt as you go toward Zoar.
11 elegitque sibi Loth regionem circa Iordanem et recessit ab oriente divisique sunt alterutrum a fratre suo
11
Then Lot chose for himself all the plain of Jordan, and Lot journeyed east. And they separated from each other.
12 Abram habitavit in terra Chanaan Loth moratus est in oppidis quae erant circa Iordanem et habitavit in Sodomis
12
Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain and pitched his tent even as far as Sodom.
13 homines autem Sodomitae pessimi erant et peccatores coram Domino nimis
13
But the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinful 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
And the Lord said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him: "Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are--northward, southward, eastward, and westward;
15 omnem terram quam conspicis tibi dabo et semini tuo usque in sempiternum
15
for all the land which you see I give to you and your descendants forever.
16 faciamque semen tuum sicut pulverem terrae si quis potest hominum numerare pulverem semen quoque tuum numerare poterit
16
And I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth; so that if a man could number the dust of the earth, then your descendants also could be numbered.
17 surge et perambula terram in longitudine et in latitudine sua quia tibi daturus sum eam
17
Arise, walk in the land through its length and its width, for I give it to you."
18 movens igitur Abram tabernaculum suum venit et habitavit iuxta convallem Mambre quod est in Hebron aedificavitque ibi altare Domino
18
Then Abram moved his tent, and went and dwelt by the terebinth trees of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to the Lord.
