Genesis 14

1 And it came to pass at that time, that Amraphel king of Sennaar, and Arioch king of Pontus, and Chodorlahomor king of the Elamites, and Thadal king of nations,

Pea naʻe hoko ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻAmilafeli ko e tuʻi ʻo Saina, mo ʻAlioke ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIlasa, mo Kitaleoma. Ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIlami, mo Titale ko e tuʻi ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga;

2 Made war against Bara king of Sodom, and against Bersa king of Gomorrha, and against Sennaab king of Adama, and against Semeber king of Seboim, and against the king of Bala, which is Segor.

Naʻa nau tau mo Pila ko e tuʻi ʻo Sotoma, mo Pilisa ko e tuʻi ʻo Komola, mo Sinape ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAtima, mo Semipa ko e tuʻi ʻo Sepoimi, mo e tuʻi ʻo Pila ʻaia ʻoku ui ko Soa.

3 All these came together into the woodland vale, which now is the salt sea.

Naʻe kātoa fakataha ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Sitimi, ʻaia ko e tahi māsima.

4 For they had served Chodorlahomor twelve years, and in the thirteenth year they revolted from him.

Naʻa nau tauhi kia Kitaleoma ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma ua, pea nau angatuʻu ʻi hono hongofulu ma tolu ʻoe taʻu.

5 And in the fourteenth year came Chodorlahomor, and the kings that were with him: and they smote the Raphaim in Astarothcarnaim, and the Zuzim with them, and the Emim in Save of Cariathaim.

Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Kitaleoma ʻi hono hongofulu ma fā ʻoe taʻu, mo e ngaahi tuʻi naʻe ʻiate ia, pea taaʻi ʻae kakai Lifeime ʻi ʻAsitelote Kaneime, mo e kakai Susi ʻi Hami, mo e kakai Imime ʻi Seva Kiliateimi,

6 And the Chorreans in the mountains of Seir, even to the plains of Pharan, which is in the wilderness.

Mo e kau Hoa ʻi honau moʻunga ko Seia, ʻo aʻu ki ʻEli-Pelani, ʻaia ʻoku ofi ki he toafa.

7 And they returned, and came to the fountain of Misphat, the same is Cades: and they smote all the country of the Amalecites, and the Amorrhean that dwelt in Asasonthamar.

Pea naʻa nau liu mai, ʻo hoko ki ʻEni-Misipate, ʻaia ko Ketesi, ʻo nau taaʻi ʻae fonua kotoa pē ʻoe kakai ʻAmaleki, mo e kakai ʻAmoli foki, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Hesisone Tamali.

8 And the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrha, and the king of Adama, and the king of Seboim, and the king of Bala, which is Segor, went out: and they set themselves against them in battle array in the woodland vale:

Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae tuʻi ʻo Sotoma, mo e tuʻi ʻo Komola, mo e tuʻi ʻo ʻAtima, mo e tuʻi ʻo Sepoime, mo e tuʻi ʻo Pila (ʻa ia ko Soa; ) pea nau tali tau kiate kinautolu ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Sitimi;

9 To wit, against Chodorlahomor king of the Elamites, and Thadal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Sennaar, and Arioch king of Pontus: four kings against five.

Kia Kitaleoma ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIlami, mo Titale ko e tuʻi ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga, mo ʻAmilafeli ko e tuʻi ʻo Saina, mo ʻAlioke ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIlasa; ko e tuʻi ʻe toko fā ki he toko nima.

10 Now the woodland vale had many pits of slime. And the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrha turned their backs and were overthrown there: and they that remained fled to the mountain.

Pea naʻe fonu ʻae teleʻa ʻo Sitimi ʻi he ngaahi luo kelepulu: pea naʻe hola ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Sotoma mo Komola pea hinga ʻi ai; pea ko kinautolu naʻe toe naʻa nau hola ki he moʻunga.

11 And they took all the substance of the Sodomites, and Gomorrhites, and all their victuals, and went their way:

Pea naʻa nau veteki ʻae koloa kotoa pē ʻo Sotoma mo Komola, mo e meʻakai kotoa pē ʻi ai, pea nau ʻalu.

12 And Lot also, the son of Abram’s brother, who dwelt in Sodom, and his substance.

Pea naʻa nau ʻave ʻa Lote, ko e foha ʻoe tokoua ʻo ʻEpalame, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Sotoma, mo ʻene ngaahi meʻa, pea nau ʻalu.

13 And behold one that had escaped told Abram the Hebrew, who dwelt in the vale of Mambre the Amorrhite, the brother of Escol, and the brother of Aner: for these had made league with Abram.

Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae tokotaha naʻe hao ʻo fakahā kia ʻEpalame ko e Hepelū; he naʻe nofo ia ʻi he potu tokalelei ʻo Mamili, ko e tangata ʻAmoli, ko e tokoua ʻo ʻEsikoli, mo e tokoua ʻo ʻAneli; pea naʻa nau kau taha pe mo ʻEpalame.

14 Which when Abram had heard, to wit, that his brother Lot was taken, he numbered of the servants born in his house, three hundred and eighteen well appointed: and pursued them to Dan.

Pea kuo fanongo ʻa ʻEpalame kuo ʻave pōpula ʻa hono kāinga, pea ne tuku ʻae mahafutau ki hono kau nofoʻanga naʻe tupu ʻi hono fale, ko e toko tolungeau mo e toko hongofulu ma toko valu, pea ne tuli ʻakinautolu ki Tani.

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

Pea ne vahevahe ʻakinautolu, ʻaia mo hono kau nofoʻanga ʻi he poʻuli, pea ne teʻia ʻakinautolu, ʻo ne tuli ʻakinautolu ki Hopa, ʻaia ʻoku tuʻu ki he toʻohema ʻo Tamasikusi.

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

Pea naʻa ne toe maʻu ʻae koloa kotoa pē, pea ne toe ʻomi ʻa hono kāinga ko Lote, mo ʻene ngaahi meʻa mo e kau fefine mo e kakai.

17 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after he returned from the slaughter of Chodorlahomor, and of the kings that were with him in the vale of Save, which is the king’s vale.

Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae tuʻi ʻo Sotoma ke fakafetaulaki kia ʻEpalame ʻi heʻene liu mai mei he taaʻi ʻa Kitaleoma mo e ngaahi tuʻi, naʻe ʻiate ia ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Seve, ʻaia ko e teleʻa ʻoe tuʻi.

18 But Melchisedech the king of Salem, bringing forth bread and wine, for he was the priest of the most high God,

Pea ʻomi ʻe Melekiseteki ko e tuʻi ʻo Selemi ʻae mā mo e uaine: pea ko e taulaʻeiki ia ʻoe ʻOtua fungani māʻolunga.

19 Blessed him, and said: Blessed be Abram by the most high God, who created heaven and earth.

Pea naʻa ne tāpuaki ia ʻo pehē, “ʻOku monūʻia ʻa ʻEpalame, ʻi he ʻOtua fungani māʻolunga ʻaia ʻoku ʻoʻona ʻae langi mo māmani.

20 And blessed be the most high God, by whose protection the enemies are in thy hands. And he gave him the tithes of all.

Pea ke monūʻia mo e ʻOtua fungani māʻolunga, ʻaia kuo ne tuku ho ngaahi fili ki ho nima. Pea naʻa ne tukuhau kiate ia, ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē.”

21 And the king of Sodom said to Abram: Give me the persons, and the rest take to thyself.

Pea pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Sotoma kia ʻEpalame, “Tuku mai kiate au ʻae kakai, pea ke toʻo maʻau ʻae ngaahi meʻa.”

22 And he answered him: I lift up my hand to the Lord God the most high, the possessor of heaven and earth,

Pea talaange ʻe ʻEpalame ki he tuʻi ʻo Sotoma, “Naʻaku hiki hoku nima kia Sihova, ko e ʻOtua fungani māʻolunga, ʻoku ʻoʻona ʻae langi, mo māmani,

23 That from the very woof thread unto the shoe latchet, I will not take of any things that are thine, lest thou say I have enriched Abram:

Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te u toʻo ha foʻi lou filo pe ha nonoʻo ʻoe topuvaʻe, pea ʻe ʻikai te u toʻo ha meʻa ʻe taha meiate koe, telia naʻa pehē ʻe koe, ‘Kuo u fakakoloaʻia ʻa ʻEpalame.’

24 Except such things as the young men have eaten, and the shares of the men that came with me, Aner, Escol, and Mambre: these shall take their shares.

Ka ko e meʻa kuo kai ʻe he kau talavou, pea mo e ʻinasi ki he kau tangata naʻa mau o mo au, ko ʻAneli, mo ʻEsikoli, mo Mamili; tuku ke nau toʻo honau ʻinasi.”
