Genesis 14
1 And it came to pass in the reign of Amarphal king of Sennaar, and Arioch king of Ellasar, that Chodollogomor king of Elam, and Thargal king of nations,
Factum est autem in illo tempore, ut Amraphel rex Senaar, et Arioch rex Ponti, et Chodorlahomor rex Elamitarum, et Thadal rex Gentium
2 made war with Balla king of Sodom, and with Barsa king of Gomorrha, and with Sennaar, king of Adama, and with Symobor king of Seboim and the king of Balac, this is Segor.
inirent bellum contra Bara regem Sodomorum, et contra Bersa regem Gomorrhæ, et contra Sennaab regem Adamæ, et contra Semeber regem Seboim, contraque regem Balæ, ipsa est Segor.
3 All these met with one consent at the salt valley; this is [now] the sea of salt.
Omnes hi convenerunt in vallem Silvestrem, quæ nunc est mare salis.
4 Twelve years they served Chodollogomor, and the thirteenth year they revolted.
Duodecim enim annis servierunt Chodorlahomor, et tertiodecimo anno recesserunt ab eo.
5 And in the fourteenth year came Chodollogomor, and the kings with him, and cut to pieces the giants in Astaroth, and Carnain, and strong nations with them, and the Ommaeans in the city Save.
Igitur quartodecimo anno venit Chodorlahomor, et reges qui erant cum eo: percusseruntque Raphaim in Astarothcarnaim, et Zuzim cum eis, et Emim in Save Cariathaim,
6 And the Chorrhaeans in the mountains of Seir, to the turpentine tree of Pharan, which is in the desert.
et Chorræos in montibus Seir, usque ad Campestria Pharan, quæ est in solitudine.
7 And having turned back they came to the well of judgement; this is Cades, and they cut in pieces all the princes of Amalec, and the Amorites dwelling in Asasonthamar.
Reversique sunt, et venerunt ad fontem Misphat, ipsa est Cades: et percusserunt omnem regionem Amalecitarum, et Amorrhæum, qui habitabat in Asasonthamar.
8 And the king of Sodom went out, and the king of Gomorrha, and king of Adama, and king of Seboim, and king of Balac, this is Segor, and they set themselves in array against them for war in the salt valley,
Et egressi sunt rex Sodomorum, et rex Gomorrhæ, rexque Adamæ, et rex Seboim, necnon et rex Balæ, quæ est Segor: et direxerunt aciem contra eos in valle Silvestri:
9 against Chodollogomor king of Elam, and Thargal king of nations, and Amarphal king of Sennaar, and Arioch king of Ellasar, the four kings against the five.
scilicet adversus Chodorlahomor regem Elamitarum, et Thadal regem gentium, et Amraphel regem Sennaar, et Arioch regem Ponti: quatuor reges adversus quinque.
10 Now the salt valley [consists of] slime-pits. And the king of Sodom fled and the king of Gomorrha, and they fell in there: and they that were left fled to the mountain country.
Vallis autem Silvestris habebat puteos multos bituminis. Itaque rex Sodomorum, et Gomorrhæ, terga verterunt, cecideruntque ibi: et qui remanserant, fugerunt ad montem.
11 And they took all the cavalry of Sodom and Gomorrha, and all their provisions, and departed.
Tulerunt autem omnem substantiam Sodomorum et Gomorrhæ, et universa quæ ad cibum pertinent, et abierunt:
12 And they took also Lot the son of Abram's brother, and his baggage, and departed, for he lived in Sodom.
necnon et Lot et substantiam eius, filium fratris Abram, qui habitabat in Sodomis.
13 And one of them that had been rescued came and told Abram the Hebrew; and he lived by the oak of Mamre the Amorite the brother of Eschol, and the brother of Aunan, who were confederates with Abram.
Et ecce unus, qui evaserat, nunciavit Abram Hebræo, qui habitabat in convalle Mambre Amorrhæi fratris Escol, et fratris Aner: hi enim pepigerant fœdus cum Abram.
14 And Abram having heard that Lot his nephew had been taken captive, numbered his own home-born [servants] three hundred and eighteen, and pursued after them to Dan.
Quod cum audisset Abram, captum videlicet Lot fratrem suum, numeravit expeditos vernaculos suos trecentos decem, et octo: et persecutus est usque Dan.
15 And he came upon them by night, he and his servants, and he struck them and pursued them as far as Choba, which is on the left of Damascus.
Et divisis sociis, irruit super eos nocte: percussitque eos, et persecutus est eos usque Hoba, quæ est ad lævam Damasci.
16 And he recovered all the cavalry of Sodom, and he recovered Lot his nephew, and all his possessions, and the women and the people.
Reduxitque omnem substantiam, et Lot fratrem suum cum substantia illius, mulieres quoque et populum.
17 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after he returned from the slaughter of Chodollogomor, and the kings with him, to the valley of Saby; this was the plain of the kings.
Egressus est autem rex Sodomorum in occursum eius postquam reversus est a cæde Chodorlahomor, et regum qui cum eo erant in valle Save, quæ est vallis regis.
18 And Melchisedec king of Salem brought forth loaves and wine, and he was the priest of the most high God.
At vero Melchisedech rex Salem, proferens panem et vinum, erat enim Sacerdos Dei altissimi,
19 And he blessed Abram, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, who made heaven and earth,
benedixit ei, et ait: Benedictus Abram Deo excelso, qui creavit cælum et terram:
20 and blessed be the most high God who delivered your enemies into your power. And Abram gave him the tithe of all.
et benedictus Deus excelsus, quo protegente, hostes in manibus tuis sunt. Et dedit ei decimas ex omnibus.
21 And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the men, and take the horses to yourself.
Dixit autem rex Sodomorum ad Abram: Da mihi animas, cetera tolle tibi.
22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I will stretch out my hand to the Lord the most high God, who made the heaven and the earth,
Qui respondit ei: Levo manum meam ad Dominum Deum excelsum possessorem cæli et terræ,
23 [that] I will not take from all your goods from a string to a shoe-latchet, lest you should say, I have made Abram rich.
quod a filo subtegminis usque ad corigiam caligæ, non accipiam ex omnibus quæ tua sunt, ne dicas: Ego ditavi Abram:
24 Except what things the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men that went with me, Eschol, Aunan, Mambre, these shall take a portion.
exceptis his, quæ comederunt iuvenes, et partibus virorum, qui venerunt mecum, Aner, Eschol, et Mambre: isti accipient partes suas.
