اَلتَّكْوِينُ 14

١ 1 وَحَدَثَ فِي أَيَّامِ أَمْرَافَلَ مَلِكِ شِنْعَارَ، وَأَرْيُوكَ مَلِكِ أَلَّاسَارَ، وَكَدَرْلَعَوْمَرَ مَلِكِ عِيلَامَ، وَتِدْعَالَ مَلِكِ جُويِيمَ،

It came about in the days of Amraphel, king of Shinar, Arioch, king of Ellasar, Kedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of Goiim,

٢ 2 أَنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ صَنَعُوا حَرْبًا مَعَ بَارَعَ مَلِكِ سَدُومَ، وَبِرْشَاعَ مَلِكِ عَمُورَةَ، وَشِنْآبَ مَلِكِ أَدْمَةَ، وَشِمْئِيبَرَ مَلِكِ صَبُويِيمَ، وَمَلِكِ بَالَعَ ٱلَّتِي هِيَ صُوغَرُ.

that they made war against Bera, king of Sodom, Birsha, king of Gomorrah, Shinab, king of Admah, Shemeber, king of Zeboyim, and the king of Bela (also called Zoar).

٣ 3 جَمِيعُ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱجْتَمَعُوا مُتَعَاهِدِينَ إِلَى عُمْقِ ٱلسِّدِّيمِ ٱلَّذِي هُوَ بَحْرُ ٱلْمِلْحِ.

These latter five kings joined together in the Valley of Siddim (also called the Salt Sea).

٤ 4 اِثْنَتَيْ عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً ٱسْتُعْبِدُوا لِكَدَرْلَعَوْمَرَ، وَٱلسَّنَةَ ٱلثَّالِثَةَ عَشَرَةَ عَصَوْا عَلَيْهِ.

Twelve years they had served Kedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled.

٥ 5 وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلرَّابِعَةَ عَشَرْةَ أَتَى كَدَرْلَعَوْمَرُ وَٱلْمُلُوكُ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ وَضَرَبُوا ٱلرَّفَائِيِّينَ فِي عَشْتَارُوثَ قَرْنَايِمَ، وَٱلزُّوزِيِّينَ فِي هَامَ، وَٱلْإِيمِيِّينَ فِي شَوَى قَرْيَتَايِمَ،

Then in the fourteenth year, Kedorlaomer and the kings who were with him came and attacked the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, the Zuzites in Ham, the Emites in Shaveh Kiriathaim,

٦ 6 وَٱلْحُورِيِّينَ فِي جَبَلِهِمْ سَعِيرَ إِلَى بُطْمَةِ فَارَانَ ٱلَّتِي عِنْدَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ.

and the Horites in their hill country of Seir, as far as El Paran, which is near the desert.

٧ 7 ثُمَّ رَجَعُوا وَجَاءُوا إِلَى عَيْنِ مِشْفَاطَ ٱلَّتِي هِيَ قَادِشُ. وَضَرَبُوا كُلَّ بِلَادِ ٱلْعَمَالِقَةِ، وَأَيْضًا ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي حَصُّونَ تَامَارَ.

Then they turned and came to En Mishpat (also called Kadesh), and defeated all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites who lived in Hazezon Tamar.

٨ 8 فَخَرَجَ مَلِكُ سَدُومَ، وَمَلِكُ عَمُورَةَ، وَمَلِكُ أَدْمَةَ، وَمَلِكُ صَبُويِيمَ، وَمَلِكُ بَالَعَ، ٱلَّتِي هِيَ صُوغَرُ، وَنَظَمُوا حَرْبًا مَعَهُمْ فِي عُمْقِ ٱلسِّدِّيمِ.

Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboyim, and the king of Bela (also called Zoar) went out and prepared for battle in the Valley of Siddim

٩ 9 مَعَ كَدَرْلَعَوْمَرَ مَلِكِ عِيلَامَ، وَتِدْعَالَ مَلِكِ جُويِيمَ، وَأَمْرَافَلَ مَلِكِ شِنْعَارَ، وَأَرْيُوكَ مَلِكِ أَلَّاسَارَ. أَرْبَعَةُ مُلُوكٍ مَعَ خَمْسَةٍ.

against Kedorlaomer, king of Elam, Tidal, king of Goiim, Amraphel, king of Shinar, Arioch, king of Ellasar; four kings against the five.

١٠ 10 وَعُمْقُ ٱلسِّدِّيمِ كَانَ فِيهِ آبَارُ حُمَرٍ كَثِيرَةٌ. فَهَرَبَ مَلِكَا سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ وَسَقَطَا هُنَاكَ، وَٱلْبَاقُونَ هَرَبُوا إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ.

Now the Valley of Siddim was full of tar pits, and as the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, they fell in there. Those who were left fled to the mountains.

١١ 11 فَأَخَذُوا جَمِيعَ أَمْلَاكِ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ وَجَمِيعَ أَطْعِمَتِهِمْ وَمَضَوْا.

So the kings took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their provisions, and went their way.

١٢ 12 وَأَخَذُوا لُوطًا ٱبْنَ أَخِي أَبْرَامَ وَأَمْلَاكَهُ وَمَضَوْا، إِذْ كَانَ سَاكِنًا فِي سَدُومَ.

When they went, they also took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who was living in Sodom, along with all his possessions.

١٣ 13 فَأَتَى مَنْ نَجَا وَأَخْبَرَ أَبْرَامَ ٱلْعِبْرَانِيَّ. وَكَانَ سَاكِنًا عِنْدَ بَلُّوطَاتِ مَمْرَا ٱلْأَمُورِيِّ، أَخِي أَشْكُولَ وَأَخِي عَانِرَ. وَكَانُوا أَصْحَابَ عَهْدٍ مَعَ أَبْرَامَ.

One who had escaped came and told Abram the Hebrew. He was living by the oaks that belonged to Mamre, the Amorite, who was the brother of Eshkol and Aner, who were all allies of Abram.

١٤ 14 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ أَبْرَامُ، أَنَّ أَخَاهُ سُبِيَ جَرَّ غِلْمَانَهُ ٱلْمُتَمَرِّنِينَ، وِلْدَانَ بَيْتِهِ، ثَلَاثَ مِئَةٍ وَثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ، وَتَبِعَهُمْ إِلَى دَانَ.

Now when Abram heard that enemies had captured his relative, he led out his 318 trained men who had been born in his house, and he pursued them as far as Dan.

١٥ 15 وَٱنْقَسَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ لَيْلًا هُوَ وَعَبِيدُهُ فَكَسَّرَهُمْ وَتَبِعَهُمْ إِلَى حُوبَةَ ٱلَّتِي عَنْ شِمَالِ دِمَشْقَ.

He divided his men against them at night and attacked them, and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is north of Damascus.

١٦ 16 وَٱسْتَرْجَعَ كُلَّ ٱلْأَمْلَاكِ، وَٱسْتَرْجَعَ لُوطًا أَخَاهُ أَيْضًا وَأَمْلَاكَهُ، وَٱلنِّسَاءَ أَيْضًا وَٱلشَّعْبَ.

Then he brought back all the possessions, and also brought back his relative Lot and his goods, as well as the women and the other people.

١٧ 17 فَخَرَجَ مَلِكُ سَدُومَ لِٱسْتِقْبَالِهِ، بَعْدَ رُجُوعِهِ مِنْ كَسْرَةِ كَدَرْلَعَوْمَرَ وَٱلْمُلُوكِ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ إِلَى عُمْقِ شَوَى، ٱلَّذِي هُوَ عُمْقُ ٱلْمَلِكِ.

After Abram returned from defeating Kedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (also called the King's Valley).

١٨ 18 وَمَلْكِي صَادِقُ، مَلِكُ شَالِيمَ، أَخْرَجَ خُبْزًا وَخَمْرًا. وَكَانَ كَاهِنًا لِلهِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ.

Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High.

١٩ 19 وَبَارَكَهُ وَقَالَ: «مُبَارَكٌ أَبْرَامُ مِنَ ٱللهِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ مَالِكِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ،

He blessed him saying, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth.

٢٠ 20 وَمُبَارَكٌ ٱللهُ ٱلْعَلِيُّ ٱلَّذِي أَسْلَمَ أَعْدَاءَكَ فِي يَدِكَ». فَأَعْطَاهُ عُشْرًا مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ.

Blessed be God Most High, who has given your enemies into your hand.” Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.

٢١ 21 وَقَالَ مَلِكُ سَدُومَ لِأَبْرَامَ: «أَعْطِنِي ٱلنُّفُوسَ، وَأَمَّا ٱلْأَمْلَاكَ فَخُذْهَا لِنَفْسِكَ».

The king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people, and take the goods for yourself.”

٢٢ 22 فَقَالَ أَبْرَامُ لِمَلِكِ سَدُومَ: «رَفَعْتُ يَدِي إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْإِلَهِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ مَالِكِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ،

Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have lifted up my hand to Yahweh, God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth,

٢٣ 23 لَا آخُذَنَّ لَا خَيْطًا وَلَا شِرَاكَ نَعْلٍ وَلَا مِنْ كُلِّ مَا هُوَ لَكَ، فَلَا تَقُولُ: أَنَا أَغْنَيْتُ أَبْرَامَ.

that I will not take a thread, a sandal strap, or anything that is yours, so that you can never say, 'I have made Abram rich.'

٢٤ 24 لَيْسَ لِي غَيْرُ ٱلَّذِي أَكَلَهُ ٱلْغِلْمَانُ، وَأَمَّا نَصِيبُ ٱلرِّجَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ ذَهَبُوا مَعِي: عَانِرَ وَأَشْكُولَ وَمَمْرَا، فَهُمْ يَأْخُذُونَ نَصِيبَهُمْ».

I will take nothing except what the young men have eaten and the share of the men that went with me. Let Aner, Eshkol, and Mamre take their portion.”
