It happened in the days of Amraphel, king of Shinar, Arioch, king of Ellasar, Kedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of Goiim,
2 ソドムの王ベラ、ゴモルの王ビルシア、アデマの王シナブ、ゼボイムの王セメベルおよびベラ(即ち今のゾアル)の王と戰ひをなせり
that they made war with Bera, king of Sodom, and with Birsha, king of Gomorrah, Shinab, king of Admah, and Shemeber, king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar).
3 是等の五人の王皆結合てシデムの谷に至れり其處は今の鹽海なり
All these joined together in the Valley of Siddim (that is, the Salt Sea).
4 彼等は十二年ケダラオメルに事へ第十三年に叛けり
Twelve years they served Kedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year, they rebelled.
5 第十四年にケダラオメルおよび彼と偕なる王等來りてアシタロテカルナイムのレパイム人、ハムのズジ人、シヤベキリアタイムのエミ人
In the fourteenth year, Kedorlaomer and the kings allied with him came and attacked the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
6 およびセイル山のホリ人を撃て曠野の傍なるエルパランに至り
and the Horite, in the hills of Seir, to El Paran, which is near the desert.
7 彼等歸りてエンミシパテ(即ち今のカデシ)に至りアマレク人の國を盡く撃又ハザゾンタマルに住るアモリ人を撃り
They returned, and came to En Mishpat (that is, Kadesh), and attacked all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that lived in Hazazon Tamar.

The king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar) came out; and they took up battle positions in the Valley of Siddim
9 即ち彼五人の王等エラムの王ケダラオメル、ゴイムの王テダル、シナルの王アムラペル、エラサルの王アリオクの四人と戰へり
against Kedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings against the five.
10 シデムの谷には地瀝靑の坑多かりしがソドムとゴモラの王等遁て其處に陷りぬ其餘の者は山に遁逃たり
Now the Valley of Siddim was full of tar pits; and the king of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah fled, and they fell there, and those who remained fled to the hills.
11 是に於て彼等ソドムとゴモラの諸の物と其諸の食料を取て去れり
They took all the possessions of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their food, and left.
12 彼等アブラムの姪ロトと其物を取て去り其は彼ソドムに住たればなり
They also took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who lived in Sodom, and his possessions, and departed.
13 茲に遁逃者來りてヘブル人アブラムに之を告たり時にアブラムはアモリ人マムレの橡林に住りマムレはエシコルの兄弟又アネルの兄弟なり是等はアブラムと契約を結べる者なりき
One who had escaped came and told Abram, the Hebrew. Now he lived by the oaks of Mamre, the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner; and these were allies of Abram.
14 アブラム其兄弟の擄にせられしを聞しかば其熟練したる家の子三百十八人を率ゐてダンまで追いたり
When Abram heard that his relative was taken captive, he mobilized his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued as far as Dan.
15 其家臣を分ちて夜に乗じて彼等を攻め彼等を撃破りてダマスコの左なるホバまで彼等を追ゆけり
He divided his forces against them at night, he and his servants, and attacked them, and pursued them to Hobah, which is north of Damascus.
16 アブラム斯諸の物を奪回し亦其兄弟ロトと其物および婦人と人民を取回せり
He brought back all the possessions, and also brought back his relative, Lot, and his possessions, as well as the women and the other people.
17 アブラム、ケダラオメルおよび彼と偕なる王等を撃破りて歸れる時ソドムの王シヤベの谷(即ち今の王の谷)にて彼を迎へたり
The king of Sodom went out to meet him, after his return from the defeat of Kedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, at the valley of Shaveh (that is, the King's Valley).
18 時にサレムの王メルキゼデク、パンと酒を携出せり彼は至高き神の祭司なりき
Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; now he was cohen of God Most High.
19 彼アブラムを祝して言けるは願くは天地の主なる至高神アブラムを祝福みたまへ
He blessed him, and said, "Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Maker of heaven and earth:
20 願くは汝の敵を汝の手に付したまひし至高神に稱譽あれとアブラム乃ち彼に其諸の物の什分の一を饋れり
and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand." And he gave him a tenth of everything.
21 茲にソドムの王アブラムに言けるは人を我に與へ物を汝に取れと
Now the king of Sodom said to Abram, "Give me the people, and take the possessions for yourself."
22 アブラム、ソドムの王に言けるは我天地の主なる至高き神ヱホバを指て言ふ
Abram said to the king of Sodom, "I have lifted up my hand to God Most High, Maker of heaven and earth,
23 一本の絲にても鞋帶にても凡て汝の所屬は我取ざるべし恐くは汝我アブラムを富しめたりと言ん
that I will not take a thread nor a sandal strap nor anything that is yours, lest you should say, 'I have made Abram rich.'
24 但少者の旣に食ひたる物および我と偕に行し人アネル、エシコルおよびマムレの分を除くべし彼等には彼等の分を取しめよ
I will accept nothing from you except that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. Let them take their portion."
