Genesis 14

1 Now it happened in that time that Amraphel, king of Shinar, and Arioch, king of Pontus, and Chedorlaomer, king of the Elamites, and Tidal, king of the Nations,

Y aconteció en aquellos días, que Amrafel rey de Sennaar, Arioc rey de Elasar, Codor-laomor rey de Elam, y Tadal rey de las gentes,

2 went to war against Bera, king of Sodom, and against Birsha, king of Gomorrah, and against Shinab, king of Admah, and against Shemeber, king of Zeboiim, and against the king of Bela, that is Zoar.

Hicieron guerra contra Bara rey de Sodoma, y contra Bersa rey de Gomorra, y contra Senaab rey de Adama, y contra Semeber rey de Seboim, y contra el rey de Bala, la cual es Segor.

3 All these came together in the wooded valley, which is now the Sea of Salt.

Todos estos se juntaron en el valle de Siddim, que es el mar de sal.

4 For they had served Chedorlaomer for twelve years, and in the thirteenth year they withdrew from him.

Doce años habían servido a Codor-laomor, y a los trece años se levantaron.

5 Therefore, in the fourteenth year, Chedorlaomer arrived, and the kings who were with him. And they struck the Rephaim at Ashteroth of the two horns, and the Zuzim with them, and the Emim at Shaveh-Kiriathaim.

Y a los catorce años vino Codor-laomor, y los reyes que estaban con él, e hirieron a Rafaim en Astarot-carnaím, y a Zuzim en Ham y a Emim en Save-cariataim.

6 and the Chorreans in the mountains of Seir, even to the plains of Paran, which is in the wilderness.

Y a los Horeos en el monte de Seir, hasta la llanura de Farán, que está junto al desierto.

7 And they returned and arrived at the fountain of Mishpat, which is Kadesh. And they struck the entire region of the Amalekites, and the Amorites who dwelt in Hazazontamar.

Y volvieron, y vinieron a En-mispat, que es Cádes, e hirieron todas las labranzas de los Amalecitas, y también al Amorreo, que habitaba en Hasasón-tamar.

8 And the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and indeed the king of Bela, which is Zoar, went forth. And they directed their point against them in the wooded valley,

Y salió el rey de Sodoma, y el rey de Gomorra, y el rey de Adama, y el rey de Seboim, y el rey de Bala, que es Segor, y ordenaron contra ellos batalla en el valle de Siddim:

9 namely, against Chedorlaomer, king of the Elamites, and Tidal, king of the Nations, and Amraphel, king of Shinar, and Arioch, king of Pontus: four kings against five.

Es a saber, contra Codor-laomor rey de Elam, y Tadal rey de las gentes, y Amrafel rey de Sennaar, y Arioc rey de Elasar, cuatro reyes contra cinco.

10 Now the wooded valley had many pits of bitumen. And so the king of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah turned back and they fell there. And those who remained, fled to the mountain.

Y el valle de Siddim era lleno de pozos de betún: y huyeron el rey de Sodoma, y el de Gomorra, y cayeron allí: y los demás huyeron al monte.

11 Then they took all the substance of the Sodomites and the Gomorrhites, and all that pertained to food, and they went away,

Y tomaron toda la hacienda de Sodoma y de Gomorra, y todas sus vituallas, y fuéronse.

12 along with both Lot, the son of Abram’s brother, who lived in Sodom, and his substance.

Tomaron también a Lot, hijo del hermano de Abram, y a su hacienda, y fuéronse; porque él moraba en Sodoma.

13 And behold, one who had escaped reported it to Abram the Hebrew, who lived in the steep valley of Mamre the Amorite, who was the brother of Eshcol, and the brother of Aner. For these had formed an agreement with Abram.

Y vino uno que escapó, y denunciólo a Abram Hebreo, que habitaba en el alcornocal de Mamré Amorreo, hermano de Escol, y hermano de Aner, los cuales estaban confederados con Abram.

14 When Abram had heard this, namely, that his brother Lot had been taken captive, he numbered three hundred and eighteen of his own armed men and he went in pursuit all the way to Dan.

Y oyó Abram, que su hermano era cautivo, y armó sus criados, los criados de su casa, trescientos y diez y ocho, y siguióles hasta Dan.

15 And dividing his company, he rushed upon them in the night. And he struck them and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.

Y derramóse sobre ellos de noche él y sus siervos, e hirióles, y siguióles hasta Hoba, que está a la mano izquierda de Damasco.

16 And he brought back all the substance, and Lot his brother, with his substance, likewise the women and the people.

Y volvió toda la hacienda, y también a Lot su hermano, y su hacienda volvió a traer, y también las mujeres y el pueblo.

17 Then the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after he returned from the slaughter at Chedorlaomer, and the kings who were with him at the valley of Shaveh, which is the valley of the king.

Y salió el rey de Sodoma a recibirle, volviendo él de herir a Codor-laomor y a los reyes que estaban con él, al valle de Save, que es el valle del rey.

18 Then in truth, Melchizedek, the king of Salem, brought forth bread and wine, for he was a priest of the Most High God;

Entonces Melquisedec, rey de Salem, sacó pan y vino, él cual era sacerdote del Dios altísimo.

19 he blessed him, and he said: “Blessed be Abram by the Most High God, who created heaven and earth.

Y bendíjole, y dijo: Bendito sea Abram del Dios altísimo, poseedor de los cielos y de la tierra.

20 And blessed be the Most High God, through whose protection the enemies are in your hands.” And he gave him tithes from everything.

Y bendito sea el Dios altísimo, que entregó tus enemigos en tu mano. Y él le dio los diezmos de todo.

21 Then the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me these souls, and take the rest for yourself.”

Entonces el rey de Sodoma dijo a Abram: Dáme las personas, y toma para ti la hacienda.

22 And he responded to him: “I lift up my hand to the Lord God, the Most High, the Possessor of heaven and earth,

Y respondió Abram al rey de Sodoma: Mi mano he alzado a Jehová Dios altísimo, poseedor de los cielos y de la tierra,

23 that from one thread within a blanket, even to a single shoelace, I will not take anything from that which is yours, lest you say, ‘I have enriched Abram,’

Que desde un hilo hasta la correa de un zapato, nada tomaré de todo lo que es tuyo, porque no digas: Yo enriquecí a Abram:

24 except that which the young men have eaten, and the shares for the men who came with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. These will take their shares.”

Sacando solamente lo que comieron los mancebos, y la parte de los varones que fueron conmigo Aner, Escol, y Mamré: los cuales tomarán su parte.
