1 Ἀνέβη δὲ Ἅβραμ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου αὐτὸς, καὶ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντα τὰ αὐτοῦ, καὶ Λὼτ μετʼ αὐτοῦ, εἰς τὴν ἔρημον.
1 SUBIÓ, pues, Abram de Egipto hacia el Mediodía, él, y su mujer, con todo lo que tenía, y con él Lot.
1 Abram went up out of Egypt—he, his wife, all that he had, and Lot with him—into the South.
2 Ἅβραμ δὲ ἦν πλούσιος σφόδρα κτήνεσι, καὶ ἀργυρίῳ, καὶ χρυσίῳ.
2 Y Abram era riquísimo en ganado, en plata y oro.
2 Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.
3 Καὶ ἐπορεύθη ὅθεν ἦλθεν εἰς τὴν ἔρημον ἕως Βαιθὴλ, ἕως τοῦ τόπου οὗ ἦν ἡ σκηνὴ αὐτοῦ τὸ πρότερον, ἀνὰ μέσον Βαιθὴλ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Ἀγγαί,
3 Y volvió por sus jornadas [de la parte] del Mediodía hacia Bethel, hasta el lugar donde había estado antes su tienda entre Bethel y Hai;
3 He went on his journeys from the South as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,
4 εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου, οὗ ἐποίησεν ἐκεῖ τὴν ἀρχὴν, καὶ ἐπεκαλέσατο ἐκεῖ Ἅβραμ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Κυρίου.
4 Al lugar del altar que había hecho allí antes: é invocó allí Abram el nombre de Jehová.
4 to the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first. There Abram called on Yahweh’s name.
5 Καὶ Λὼτ τῷ συμπορευομένῳ μετὰ Ἅβραμ ἦν πρόβατα, καὶ βόες, καὶ σκηναί.
5 Y asimismo Lot, que andaba con Abram, tenía ovejas, y vacas, y tiendas.
5 Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, herds, and tents.
6 Καὶ οὐκ ἐχώρει αὐτοὺς ἡ γῆ κατοικεῖν ἅμα, ὅτι ἦν τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτῶν πολλά· καὶ οὐκ ἐχώρει αὐτοὺδ ἡ γῆ κατοικεῖν ἅμα.
6 Y la tierra no podía darles para que habitasen juntos: porque su hacienda era mucha, y no podían morar en un mismo lugar.
6 The land was not able to bear them, that they might live together; for their possessions were so great that they couldn’t live together.
7 Καὶ ἐγενετο μάχη ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ποιμένων τῶν κτηνῶν τοῦ Ἅβραμ, καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ποιμένων τῶν κτηνῶν τοῦ Λώτ· οἱ δὲ Χαναναῖοι καὶ οἱ Φερεζαῖοι τότε κατῴκουν τὴν γῆν.
7 Y hubo contienda entre los pastores del ganado de Abram y los pastores del ganado de Lot: y el Cananeo y el Pherezeo habitaban entonces en la tierra.
7 There was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. The Canaanites and the Perizzites lived in the land at that time.
8 Εἶπε δὲ Ἅβραμ τῷ Λὼτ, μὴ ἔστω μάχη ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ σοῦ, καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ποιμένων μου καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ποιμένων σοῦ, ὅτι ἄνθρωποι ἀδελφοὶ ἐσμὲν ἡμεῖς.
8 Entonces Abram dijo á Lot: No haya ahora altercado entre mí y ti, entre mis pastores y los tuyos, porque somos hermanos.
8 Abram said to Lot, “Please, let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen; for we are relatives.
9 Οὐκ ἰδοὺ πᾶσα ἡ γῆ ἐναντίον σου ἐστί; διαχωρίσθητι ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ· εἰ σὺ εἰς ἀριστερὰ, ἐγὼ εἰς δεξιά· εἰ δὲ σὺ εἰς δεξιὰ, ἐγὼ εἰς ἀριστερά.
9 ¿No está toda la tierra delante de ti? Yo te ruego que te apartes de mí. Si [fueres] á la mano izquierda, yo iré á la derecha: y si tú á la derecha, yo iré á la izquierda.
9 Isn’t the whole land before you? Please separate yourself from me. If you go to the left hand, then I will go to the right. Or if you go to the right hand, then I will go to the left.”
10 Καὶ ἐπάρας Λὼτ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ, ἐπεῖδε πᾶσαν τὴν περίχωρον τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, ὅτι πᾶσα ἦν ποτιζομένη, πρὸ τοῦ καταστρέψαι τὸν Θεὸν Σόδομα καὶ Γόμοῤῥα, ὡς ὁ παράδεισος τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ ὡς ἡ γῆ Αἰγύπτου, ἕως ἐλθεῖν εἰς Ζόγορα.
10 Y alzó Lot sus ojos, y vió toda la llanura del Jordán, que toda ella era de riego, antes que destruyese Jehová á Sodoma y á Gomorra, como el huerto de Jehová, como la tierra de Egipto entrando en Zoar.
10 Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well-watered everywhere, before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt, as you go to Zoar.
11 Καὶ ἐξελέξατο ἑαυτῷ Λὼτ πᾶσαν τὴν περίχωρον τοῦ Ἰορδάνου· καὶ ἀπῇρε Λὼτ ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν· καὶ διεχωρίσθησαν ἕκαστος ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ.
11 Entonces Lot escogió para sí toda la llanura del Jordán: y partióse Lot de Oriente, y apartáronse el uno del otro.
11 So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated themselves from one another.
12 Ἅβραμ δὲ κατῴκησεν ἐν γῇ Χαναάν· Λὼτ δὲ κατῴκησεν ἐν πόλει τῶν περιχώρων, καὶ ἐσκήνωσεν ἐν Σοδόμοις.
12 Abram asentó en la tierra de Canaán, y Lot asentó en las ciudades de la llanura, y fué poniendo sus tiendas hasta Sodoma.
12 Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.
13 Οἱ δὲ ἄνθρωποι οἱ ἐν Σοδόμοις πονηροὶ καὶ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἐναντίον τοῦ Θεοῦ σφόδρα.
13 Mas los hombres de Sodoma eran malos y pecadores para con Jehová en gran manera.
13 Now the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinners against Yahweh.
14 Ὁ δὲ Θεὸς εἶπε τῷ Ἅβραμ μετὰ τὸ διαχωρισθῆναι τὸν Λὼτ ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ, ἀνάβλεψον τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς σου, καὶ ἴδε ἀπὸ τοῦ τόπου οὗ νῦν σὺ εἶ πρὸς βοῤῥὰν καὶ λίβα καὶ ἀνατολὰς καὶ θάλασσαν·
14 Y Jehová dijo á Abram, después que Lot se apartó de él: Alza ahora tus ojos, y mira desde el lugar donde estás hacia el Aquilón, y al Mediodía, y al Oriente y al Occidente;
14 Yahweh said to Abram, after Lot was separated from him, “Now, lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward,
15 ὅτι πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν, ἣν σὺ ὁρᾷς, σοὶ δώσω αὐτὴν καὶ τῷ σπέρματί σου ἕως αἰῶνος.
15 Porque toda la tierra que ves, la daré á ti y á tu simiente para siempre.
15 for I will give all the land which you see to you and to your offspring forever.
16 Καὶ ποιήσω τὸ σπέρμα σου, ὡς τὴν ἄμμον τῆς γῆς· εἰ δύναταί τις ἐξαριθμῆσαι τὴν ἄμμον τῆς γῆς, καὶ τὸ σπέρμα σου ἐξαριθμηθήσεται.
16 Y haré tu simiente como el polvo de la tierra: que si alguno podrá contar el polvo de la tierra, también tu simiente será contada.
16 I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if a man can count the dust of the earth, then your offspring may also be counted.
17 Ἀναστὰς διόδευσον τὴν γῆν εἴς τε τὸ μῆκος αὐτῆς καὶ εἰς τὸ πλάτος· ὅτι σοι δώσω αὐτὴν καὶ τῷ σπέρματί σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.
17 Levántate, ve por la tierra á lo largo de ella y á su ancho; porque á ti la tengo de dar.
17 Arise, walk through the land in its length and in its width; for I will give it to you.”
18 Καὶ ἀποσκηνώσας Ἅβραμ, ἐλθὼν κατῴκησε παρὰ τὴν δρῦν τὴν Μαμβρῆ, ἣ ἦν ἐν Χεβρὼμ, καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ θυσιαστήριον τῷ Κυρίῳ.
18 Abram, pues, removiendo su tienda, vino y moró en el alcornocal de Mamre, que es en Hebrón, y edificó allí altar á Jehová.
18 Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to Yahweh.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
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." And again [the Scripture] saith, "God brought forth Abram, and spake unto him, Look up now to heaven, and count the stars if thou be able to number them; …
For all the earth which thou seest, I will give to thee and to thy seed, even for ever." And again He says, "Arise, and go through the length and breadth of the land, since I will give it unto thee;" and [yet] he did not receive an inheritance in it, not even a footstep, but was always a stranger …
Arise, and walk through the land, in the length of it, and in the breadth of it; for unto thee will I give it." It does not clearly appear whether in this promise that also is contained by which he is made the father of all nations.

Read the Scriptures, and thou shall find Abraham to have been a rich man. In order that thou mayest know, that not riches are blamed; Abraham had much gold, silver, cattle, household, was a rich man, and unto his bosom Lazarus, a poor man, was borne up.

It is certain that the poor man was carried into the bosom of Abraham: of Abraham himself Scripture saith that he had here very much gold and silver, and was rich on the earth. If every one that is rich is hurried away to be tormented, how could Abraham have gone before that poor man, so as to be ready …
