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,
Ikiwa katika siku za Amrafeli, mfalme wa shinari, Arioko, mfalme wa Elasari, Kedorlaoma, mfalme wa Elam na Tidali, mfalme wa Goimu,
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.
walifanya vita dhidi ya Bera mfalme wa Sodoma, Birsha, mfalme wa Gomora, Shinabu, mfalme wa Adma, Shemeberi, mfalme wa Seboim, na mfalme wa Bela(pia ikiitwa Soari).
3 All these met with one consent at the salt valley; this is [now] the sea of salt.
Hawa wafalme watano wa mwisho waliungana pamoja katika bonde la Sidim (pia likiitwa bahari ya chumvi).
4 Twelve years they served Chodollogomor, and the thirteenth year they revolted.
Kwa miaka kumi na mbili walimtumikia Kedorlaoma, lakini katika mwaka wa kumi na tatu waliasi.
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.
Kisha katika mwaka wa kumi na nne, Kedorlaoma na wafalme waliokuwa pamoja nae walikuja na kuwashambulia Warefai katika Ashteroth Karnaimu, na Wazuzi katika Hamu, Waemi katika Shawe Kiriathaimu,
6 And the Chorrhaeans in the mountains of Seir, to the turpentine tree of Pharan, which is in the desert.
na Wahori katika mlima wao wa Seiri, mpaka El Parani iliyo karibu na jangwa.
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.
Kisha wakarudi wakaja En Misifati (Pia ikiitwa Kadeshi), na kuishinda nchi yote ya Waamaleki, na pia Waamori ambao waliishi Hasasoni Tamari.
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,
Kisha mfalme wa Sodoma, mfalme wa Gomora, mfalme wa Adma, mfalme wa Seboim, na mfalme wa Bela (pia ikiitwa Soari) walikwenda na kuandaa vita
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.
dhidi ya Kadorlaoma, mfalme wa Elam, Tidali mfalme wa Goim, Amrafeli, mfalme wa Shinari, Arioki, mfalme wa Elasari; wafme wanne dhidi ya wale watano.
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.
Na sasa bonde la Sidimu lilikuwa limejaa mashimo ya lami, na wafalme wa Sodoma na Gomora walipokimbia, wakaanguka pale. Wale waliosalia wakakimbilia milimani.
11 And they took all the cavalry of Sodom and Gomorrha, and all their provisions, and departed.
Kwa hiyo adui akachukua mali zote za Sodoma na Gomora na vyakula vyao vyote, na wakaenda zao,
12 And they took also Lot the son of Abram's brother, and his baggage, and departed, for he lived in Sodom.
walipoondoka, wakamchukua pia Lutu, mtoto wa ndugu yake na Abram ambaye aliishi Sodoma, pamoja na mali zake zote.
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.
Mmoja ambaye alitoroka alikuja na kumwambia Abram mwebrania. Alikuwa anaishi katika mialoni ya Mamre, mwamori ambaye alikuwa ni ndugu wa Eshkoli na Aneri ambao walikuwa washirika wa 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.
Abram aliposikia kuwa maadui wamemteka ndugu yake, akawaongoza wanaume waliofunzwa na kuzaliwa nyumbani mwake 318 na akawaongoza hadi Dani.
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.
Akawagawanya watu wake dhidi yao usiku na kuwavamia, na kuwafukuza mpaka Hoba, ambayo iko kaskazini mwa Dameski.
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.
Kisha akarudisha mali zote, pia akamrudisha ndugu yake Lutu na mali zake, pamoja na wanawake na watu wengine.
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.
Baada ya Abram kurudi kutoka kumpiga Kadorlaoma na wafalme waliokuwa pamoja nae, mfalme wa Sodoma akatoka kuonana nae katika bonde la Shawe (pia iliitwa bonde la mfalme).
18 And Melchisedec king of Salem brought forth loaves and wine, and he was the priest of the most high God.
Melkizedeki, mfalme wa Salem, akaleta mkate na divai. Alikuwa ni kuhani wa Mungu aliye juu sana.
19 And he blessed Abram, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, who made heaven and earth,
Alimbariki akisema, “Abarikiwea Abram na Mungu aliye juu sana, muumba wa mbingu na nchi.
20 and blessed be the most high God who delivered your enemies into your power. And Abram gave him the tithe of all.
Abarikiwe Mungu aliye juu sana, ambaye amekupatia adui zako katika mikono yako.” Kisha Abram akampatia sehemu ya kumi ya kila kitu.
21 And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the men, and take the horses to yourself.
Mfalme wa Sodama akamwambia Abram, “Nipatie watu, na ujichukulie wewe mwenyewe mali.”
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,
Abram akamwambia mfalme wa Sodoma, “Nimeinua juu mkono wangu kwa Yahwe, Mungu aliye juu sana, muumbaji wa mbingu na nchi,
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.
kwamba sitachukua uzi wala gidamu ya kiatu, au kitu chochote ambacho ni chako, 'ili kwamba usiseme, nimemfanya Abram kuwa tajiri.'
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.
Sitachukua chochote isipokuwa kile ambacho vijana wamekula na sehemu za watu waliokwenda nami. Aneri, Eskoli, na Mamre na wachukue sehemu zao.”
