創世記 14

1 當時シナルの王アムラペル、エラサルの王アリオク、エラムの王ケダラオメルおよびゴイムの王テダル等

And it came to pass, in the days of Amraphel, king of Shinar, Arioch, king of Ellasar, —Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goim,

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 Zeboim, and the king of Bela—the same, 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 the open fields, the same, 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, had they served Chedorlaomer, —but in the thirteenth year had 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

and in the fourteenth year, had Chedorlaomer come in and the kings who were with him, so they smote 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 Horites in their Mount Seir, —as far as El-paran, which is by 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

So they returned and came in unto En-mishpat, the same, is Kadish, and smote all the field of the Amalekites, —and the Amorites also that dwelt in Hazazon-tamar,

8 爰にソドムの王ゴモラの王アデマの王ゼボイムの王およびベラ(即ち今のゾアル)の王出てシデムの谷にて彼等と戰ひを接たり

Thus then went forth the King of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah and the king of Zeboim, and the king of Bela the same, is Zoar—and set themselves in array against them for battle, in the valley of the open fields:

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 Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goim, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar, —four kings against 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 the open fields, had many pits of bitumen, so the king of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there, —while, they who remained, towards a mountain, fled.

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

And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their food and went their way.

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

And they took Lot, Abram’s brother’s son with his goods, and went their way, —he, being a dweller in Sodom.

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

Then came in a fugitive, and told Abram the Hebrew, —he, having his dwelling among the oaks of Mamre the Amorite brother of Eshcol and brother of Aner, they, also having a covenant with 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

So Abram, hearing that his brother had been taken captive, drew forth 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

And he divided himself against them by night, he, and his servants, and smote them, —and pursued them as far as Hobah, which was on the left 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

So he brought back all the goods, —yea Lot also his brother with his goods, did he bring back, and the women also, and the 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

Then came forth the king of Sodom to meet him, after his return from the smiting of Chedorlaomer, and the kings who were with him, —into the vale of Shaveh the same, was the vale of the king.

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

Now Melchizedek king of Salem, had brought forth bread and wine, —he, being priest 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

So he blessed him and said, —Blessed be Abram of GOD Most High, possessor of [the] heavens 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 hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. So he gave unto him a tenth of all.

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

Then said the king of Sodom unto Abram, —Give unto me the persons, but the goods, take thou for thyself.

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

And Abram said unto the king of Sodom, —I have lifted up my hand unto Yahweh GOD Most High, possessor of [the] heavens 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 not from a thread even unto a sandal-thong, —will I take, anything, that is thine, —Lest thou shouldst say, I, enriched Abram!

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

Save only what the young men have eaten, and the share of the men who went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre, they may take their share.
