< Genesis 14 >

1 In the days of Amraphel, king of Shinar; Arioch, king of Ellasar; Chedorlaomer, king of Elam; and Tidal, king of Goiim,
Ihinda-inĩ rĩu, Amurafeli mũthamaki wa Shinaru, na Arioku mũthamaki wa Elasaru, na Kedorilaomeri mũthamaki wa Elamu, na Tidali mũthamaki wa Goimu,
2 they made war with Bera, king of Sodom; Birsha, king of Gomorrah; Shinab, king of Admah; Shemeber, king of Zeboiim; and the king of Bela (also called Zoar).
nĩmathiire ita kũrũa na Bera mũthamaki wa Sodomu, na Birisha mũthamaki wa Gomora, na Shinabu mũthamaki wa Adima, na Shemeberi mũthamaki wa Zeboimu na mũthamaki wa Bela (na nokuo Zoari).
3 All these joined together in the valley of Siddim (also called the Salt Sea).
Athamaki acio othe a gĩkundi gĩa keerĩ nĩmacookanĩrĩire hamwe Gĩtuamba-inĩ gĩa Sidimu (na nokuo Iria rĩa Cumbĩ).
4 They served Chedorlaomer for twelve years, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
Ihinda rĩa mĩaka ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ maatũire matungatagĩra Mũthamaki Kedorilaomeri, no mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na ĩtatũ makĩregana na watho wake.
5 In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him came and struck the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, the Zuzim in Ham, the Emim in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
Mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na ĩna-rĩ, Mũthamaki Kedorilaomeri na athamaki arĩa maarĩ hamwe nake magĩthiĩ makĩhoota Arefai kũu Ashiterothu-Karinaimu, na Azuzi kũu Hamu, na Aemi kũu Shave-Kiriathaimu,
6 and the Horites in their Mount Seir, to El Paran, which is by the wilderness.
nao Ahori makĩmahootera bũrũri-inĩ wa irĩma wa Seiru, o nginya Eli-Parani gũkuhĩ na werũ.
7 They returned, and came to En Mishpat (also called Kadesh), and struck all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that lived in Hazazon Tamar.
Ningĩ athamaki acio makĩgarũrũka, magĩthiĩ Eni-Mishipatu (na nokuo Kadeshi), magĩtooria rũgongo ruothe rwa Amaleki, o hamwe na Aamori arĩa maatũũraga kũu Hazazoni-Tamaru.
8 The king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (also called Zoar) went out; and they set the battle in array against them in the valley of Siddim
Ningĩ mũthamaki wa Sodomu, na mũthamaki wa Gomora, na mũthamaki wa Adima, na mũthamaki wa Zeboimu, na mũthamaki wa Bela (na nokuo Zoari) magĩthiĩ makĩhaarĩria ita rĩao rĩa mbaara o kũu Gĩtuamba-inĩ gĩa Sidimu,
9 against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, Tidal king of Goiim, Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings against the five.
mahũũrane na Kedorilaomeri mũthamaki wa Elamu, na Tidali mũthamaki wa Goimu, na Amurafeli mũthamaki wa Shinaru, na Arioku mũthamaki wa Elasaru, athamaki acio ana mahũũrane na athamaki acio angĩ atano.
10 Now the valley of Siddim was full of tar pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and some fell there. Those who remained fled to the hills.
Na rĩrĩ, Gĩtuamba kĩu gĩa Sidimu kĩaiyũrĩte marima ma rami, na rĩrĩa athamaki a Sodomu na Gomora mooraga-rĩ, andũ amwe ao makĩgũa kuo nao arĩa angĩ makĩũrĩra irĩma-inĩ.
11 They took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their food, and went their way.
Athamaki acio ana magĩtunyana indo ciothe cia Sodomu na Gomora o na irio ciakuo ciothe; magĩcooka magĩĩthiĩra.
12 They took Lot, Abram’s brother’s son, who lived in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
Ningĩ magĩtaha Loti, mũriũ wa mũrũ wa nyina na Aburamu, na indo ciake, tondũ aatũũraga kũu Sodomu.
13 One who had escaped came and told Abram, the Hebrew. At that time, he lived by the oaks of Mamre, the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and brother of Aner. They were allies of Abram.
Na rĩrĩ, mũndũ ũmwe wahonokete gũtahwo-rĩ, agĩũka na akĩĩra Aburamu ũrĩa Mũhibirania ũhoro ũcio. Na rĩrĩ, Aburamu aatũũraga hakuhĩ na mĩtĩ ĩrĩa mĩnene ya mĩgandi ya Mamure ũrĩa Mũamori, mũrũ wa nyina na Eshikoli na Aneri, na othe maarĩ rũmwe na Aburamu.
14 When Abram heard that his relative was taken captive, he led out his three hundred eighteen trained men, born in his house, and pursued as far as Dan.
Rĩrĩa Aburamu aiguire atĩ mũndũ ũcio wao nĩanyiitĩtwo agatahwo-rĩ, agĩĩta andũ magana matatũ na ikũmi na anana arĩa maarutĩtwo kũrũa mbaara na maaciarĩirwo gwake mũciĩ, makĩingatithia thũ icio o nginya Dani.
15 He divided himself against them by night, he and his servants, and struck them, and pursued them to Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.
Ũtukũ-rĩ, Aburamu akĩgayania andũ ake mamatharĩkĩre, nake akĩmahoota na akĩmaingatithia nginya Hoba, itũũra rĩrĩ gathigathini wa Dameski.
16 He brought back all the goods, and also brought back his relative Lot and his goods, and the women also, and the other people.
Aburamu agĩcookithia indo ciothe iria ciatahĩtwo, na Loti mũndũ ũcio wao, na indo ciake ciothe, hamwe na andũ-a-nja na andũ arĩa angĩ.
17 The king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, at the valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley).
Aburamu acooka kuuma kũhoota Kedorilaomeri na athamaki arĩa maarĩ rũmwe nake-rĩ, mũthamaki wa Sodomu agĩthiĩ kũmũtũnga Gĩtuamba-inĩ gĩa Shave (na no kĩo gĩĩtagwo Gĩtuamba-kĩa-Mũthamaki).
18 Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High.
Nake Melikisedeki mũthamaki wa Salemu akĩrehe mĩgate na ndibei. We aarĩ mũthĩnjĩri wa Mũrungu Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno.
19 He blessed him, and said, “Blessed be Abram of God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth.
Na akĩrathima Aburamu, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Aburamu arorathimwo nĩ Mũrungu Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno, o we Mũmbi wa igũrũ na thĩ.
20 Blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand.” Abram gave him a tenth of all.
Ningĩ Mũrungu Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno arogaathwo, o ũcio ũraneanire thũ ciaku moko-inĩ maku.” Nake Aburamu akĩhe Melikisedeki gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi kĩa indo ciothe iria aatunyĩte athamaki arĩa ana.
21 The king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people, and take the goods for yourself.”
Nake mũthamaki wa Sodomu akĩĩra Aburamu atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nengera o andũ tu, ũrigie na indo ituĩke ciaku.”
22 Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have lifted up my hand to the LORD, God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth,
No Aburamu akĩĩra mũthamaki ũcio wa Sodomu atĩrĩ, “Nĩnyambararĩtie guoko gwakwa na igũrũ na ngehĩta na mwĩhĩtwa kũrĩ Jehova Mũrungu Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno, Mũmbi wa igũrũ na thĩ,
23 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.’
atĩ ndingĩĩtĩkĩra kuoya kĩndũ o na kĩmwe gĩaku, o na karũrigi kana kamũkwa ga kĩraatũ, nĩgeetha ndũkanoige atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ niĩ ndatongirie Aburamu.’
24 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.”
Ndingĩĩtĩkĩra kuoya kĩndũ, o tiga kĩrĩa kĩrĩĩtwo nĩ andũ akwa, na igai rĩa andũ arĩa tũrathiĩte nao, na nĩo Aneri, na Eshikoli, na Mamure. Acio nĩmooe rũgai rwao.”
