Genesis 13
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Naghiwalay si Abram at si Lot
13 Mula sa Egipto, pumunta si Abram sa Negev kasama ang asawa niya at dala ang lahat ng ari-arian niya, at sumama rin sa kanila si Lot. 2 Napakayaman na ni Abram, marami na siyang hayop, pilak at ginto. 3 Mula sa Negev, nagpalipat-lipat sila hanggang makabalik sila sa lugar na dati nilang pinagtayuan ng tolda. Ang lugar na ito ay nasa gitna ng Betel at Ai. 4 Dito rin sila unang nagtayo ng altar nang dumating sila sa Canaan. At muling sumamba si Abram sa Panginoon.
5 Si Lot na laging kasama ni Abram saan man siya pumunta ay may sarili ring mga hayop at mga tolda. 6 At dahil marami na ang mga hayop nila at iba pang mga ari-arian, hindi sila maaaring manirahan sa iisang lugar. Ang pastulan ay hindi magkakasya sa kanila. 7 Dahil dito, nag-away-away ang mga tagapagbantay ng mga hayop nila. (Nang panahong iyon, ang mga Cananeo at mga Perezeo ay nakatira sa lupaing iyon.)
8 Kaya sinabi ni Abram kay Lot, “Tayo at ang mga tauhan natin ay hindi dapat mag-away, dahil magkakamag-anak tayo. 9 Ang mabuti pa, maghiwalay na lang tayo dahil marami pang lugar na maaaring lipatan. Ikaw ang mamili kung aling bahagi ng lupain ang pipiliin mo. Kung kakaliwa ka, kakanan ako; kung kakanan ka, kakaliwa naman ako.”
10 Tumanaw si Lot sa paligid at nakita niya na ang kapatagan ng Jordan hanggang sa Zoar ay sagana sa tubig, katulad ng lugar ng Eden at ng lupain ng Egipto. (Nangyari ito noong hindi pa nililipol ng Panginoon ang Sodom at Gomora.) 11 Kaya pinili ni Lot ang buong kapatagan ng Jordan sa silangan. Sa ganoong paraan, naghiwalay sila ni Abram. 12 Si Abram ay nagpaiwan sa Canaan habang si Lot naman ay naroon sa mga lungsod ng kapatagan. Nagtayo si Lot ng mga tolda malapit sa Sodom. 13 Ang mga tao sa Sodom ay talamak na makasalanan. Labis ang pagkakasala nila laban sa Panginoon.
Lumipat si Abram sa Hebron
14 Nang nakaalis na si Lot, sinabi ng Panginoon kay Abram, “Mula sa kinatatayuan mo, tingnan mong mabuti ang paligid. 15 Ang lahat ng lupain na maaabot ng paningin mo ay ibibigay ko sa iyo at sa mga lahi mo, at magiging inyo ito magpakailanman. 16 Pararamihin ko ang lahi mo na kasindami ng buhangin sa mundo. Ang buhangin ay hindi kayang bilangin, kaya ang mga lahi mo ay hindi rin mabibilang. 17 Lumakad ka at ikutin ang buong lupain dahil ibibigay ko itong lahat sa iyo.”
18 Kaya inilipat ni Abram ang tolda niya, at doon siya nanirahan malapit sa malalaking puno[a] ni Mamre roon sa Hebron, at gumawa siya roon ng altar para sa Panginoon.

Genesis 13
King James Version
13 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.
2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
3 And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai;
4 Unto the place of the altar, which he had make there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the Lord.
5 And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
6 And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.
7 And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.
8 And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren.
9 Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.
10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.
11 Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.
12 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
13 But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly.
14 And the Lord said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.
17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.
18 Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the Lord.
Genesis 13
New International Version
Abram and Lot Separate
13 So Abram went up from Egypt(A) to the Negev,(B) with his wife and everything he had, and Lot(C) went with him. 2 Abram had become very wealthy(D) in livestock(E) and in silver and gold.
3 From the Negev(F) he went from place to place until he came to Bethel,(G) to the place between Bethel and Ai(H) where his tent had been earlier 4 and where he had first built an altar.(I) There Abram called on the name of the Lord.(J)
5 Now Lot,(K) who was moving about with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents. 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.(L) 7 And quarreling(M) arose between Abram’s herders and Lot’s. The Canaanites(N) and Perizzites(O) were also living in the land(P) at that time.
8 So Abram said to Lot,(Q) “Let’s not have any quarreling between you and me,(R) or between your herders and mine, for we are close relatives.(S) 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.”(T)
10 Lot looked around and saw that the whole plain(U) of the Jordan toward Zoar(V) was well watered, like the garden of the Lord,(W) like the land of Egypt.(X) (This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom(Y) and Gomorrah.)(Z) 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 lived in the land of Canaan,(AA) while Lot(AB) lived among the cities of the plain(AC) and pitched his tents near Sodom.(AD) 13 Now the people of Sodom(AE) were wicked and were sinning greatly against the Lord.(AF)
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.(AG) 15 All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring[a] forever.(AH) 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.(AI) 17 Go, walk through the length and breadth of the land,(AJ) for I am giving it to you.”(AK)
18 So Abram went to live near the great trees of Mamre(AL) at Hebron,(AM) where he pitched his tents. There he built an altar to the Lord.(AN)
