< Genesis 14 >

1 Tokosra akosr, Amraphel lun Babylonia, Arioch lun Ellasar, Chedorlaomer lun Elam, ac Tidal lun Goiim,
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 elos som in mweun lain tokosra limekosr saya: Bera lun Sodom, Birsha lun Gomorrah, Shinab lun Admah, Shemeber lun Zeboiim, ac tokosra lun Bela (ku Zoar).
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 Tokosra limekosr inge toeni orala u se, ac fahsreni nu Infalfal Siddim, su pa Meoa Misa in pacl inge.
All these, joined together in the valley of the open fields, the same, is the Salt Sea.
4 Elos tuh muta ye nununku lal Chedorlaomer ke yac singoul luo, tusruktu in yac se aksingoul tolu elos tuyak lainul.
Twelve years, had they served Chedorlaomer, —but in the thirteenth year had they rebelled;
5 In yac aksingoul akosr Chedorlaomer ac tokosra tolu wial tuku wi un mwet mweun lalos ac kutangla mwet Rephaim in acn Ashtaroth Karnaim, oayapa mwet Zuzim in acn Ham, mwet Emim in acn tupasrpasr lun Kiriathaim,
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 ac mwet Hor infulan eol Edom, ukwalos na nwe Elparan sisken acn mwesis.
and the Horites in their Mount Seir, —as far as El-paran, which is by the desert.
7 Na elos forla ac foloko nu Kadesh (in pacl so pangpang Enmishpat.) Elos eisla acn nukewa lun mwet Amalek, ac kutangla mwet Amor su muta Hazazon Tamar.
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 Na Tokosra lun Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim, ac Bela elos mokuiyak wi un mwet mweun lalos in mweun Infalfal Siddim
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 lain tokosra lun Elam, Goiim, Babylonia, ac Ellasar — tokosra limekosr lain tokosra akosr.
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 Infalfal sac sessesla ke lufin tar, ac ke tokosra lun Sodom ac Gomorrah srike in kaingla liki mweun uh, elos putatyang nu in luf inge, a tokosra tolu saya uh kaingla nu fineol ah.
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 Tokosra akosr ah usla ma nukewa in acn Sodom ac Gomorrah, wi mwe mongo we, ac som.
And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their food and went their way.
12 Lot, wen nutin ma lel Abram, el muta Sodom in pacl sac, ac elos usalla ac ma lal nukewa.
And they took Lot, Abram’s brother’s son with his goods, and went their way, —he, being a dweller in Sodom.
13 Tusruktu oasr mwet se kaingla ac fahkak ma sikyak inge nukewa nu sel Abram, mwet Hebrew se su muta fototo nu ke sak oal sunal Mamre, mwet Amor. Mamre ac tamulel luo wial, Eshcol ac Aner, elos welul Abram lac ke pacl in mweun.
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 Ke Abram el lohng lah sruhu wen nutin mwet lel, el pangoneni mukul nukewa ke nien aktuktuk lal su etu mweun — mukul tolfoko singoul oalkosr nufon — ac ukwe na tokosra akosr ah nwe Dan.
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 Ke elos sun acn we, el kitalik mwet lal ah nu ke u, ac sroang nu sin mwet lokoalok lalos ke fong, ac kutangulosla. El ukwalos na nwe Hobah, epang in Damascus,
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 ac folokonma ma wap nukewa ma elos tuh usla. El oayapa folokunulma Lot, wen nutin ma lel, wi ma lal nukewa, weang mutan ac mwet kapir pac saya.
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 Ke Abram el foloko tukun el kutangulla Chedorlaomer ac tokosra ma welul, tokosra lun acn Sodom el illa in sonol Infalfal Shaveh (pangpang pac Infalfal lun Tokosra).
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 Ac Melchizedek, su tokosra lun acn Salem ac el oayapa sie mwet tol lun God Fulatlana, el use bread ac wain nu yorol Abram,
Now Melchizedek king of Salem, had brought forth bread and wine, —he, being priest of GOD Most High.
19 ac akinsewowoyal ac fahk, “Lela God Fulatlana, su orala kusrao ac faclu, in akinsewowoyal Abram!
So he blessed him and said, —Blessed be Abram of GOD Most High, possessor of [the] heavens and earth;
20 Lela in kaksakinyuk God Fulatlana, su asot kutangla nu sum fin mwet lokoalok lom!” Ac Abram el sang nu sel Melchizedek sie tafu singoul in ma wap nukewa ma el folokonma.
And blessed be GOD Most High, who hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. So he gave unto him a tenth of all.
21 Tokosra lun Sodom el fahk nu sel Abram, “Sruokya ma wap an lom, tusruktu folokonma nufon mwet luk an.”
Then said the king of Sodom unto Abram, —Give unto me the persons, but the goods, take thou for thyself.
22 Na Abram el fahk, “Nga orala fulahk luk ye mutun LEUM GOD, El su Fulatlana, su orala kusrao ac faclu,
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 lah nga ac fah tiana sruokya kutena ma lom, finne turet soko ku soko mwe lohl fahluk, kom in mau tia ku in fahk mu, ‘Nga pa oru Abram el kasrup.’
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 Nga fah tiana eis kutena ma, sayen ma mwet luk inge orekmakin tari uh. Tusruktu lela elos su wiyu inge (Aner, Eshcol, ac Mamre) in eis ip lalos.”
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.
