Genesis 14
1 And in the dayes of Amraphel King of Shinar, Arioch King of Ellasar, Chedor-laomer King of Elam, and Tidal king of the nations:
Dengang Amrafel var Konge i Sinear, Arjok i Ellasar, Kedorlaomer i Elam og Tidal i Gojim.
2 These men made warre with Bera King of Sodom, and with Birsha King of Gomorah, Shinab King of Admah, and Shemeber King of Zeboiim, and the King of Bela, which is Zoar.
lå de i Krig med Kong Bera af Sodoma, Kong Birsja af Gomorra, Kong Sjin'ab af Adma, Kong Sjem'eher af Zebojim og Kongen i Bela, det et Zoar.
3 All these ioyned together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt Sea.
Alle disse havde slået sig sammen og var rykket frem til Siddims Dal, det er Salthavet.
4 Twelue yeere were they subiect to Chedor-laomer, but in the thirteenth yeere they rebelled.
I tolv År havde de stået under Kedorlaomer, men i det trettende faldt de fra;
5 And in the fourteenth yeere came Chedor-laomer, and the Kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaueh Kiriathaim,
og i det fjortende År kom Kedorlaomer og de Konger, som fulgte ham. Først slog de Refaiterne i Asjtarot Karnajim, Zuziterne i Ham, Emiterne i Sjave Kirjatajim
6 And the Horites in their mount Seir, vnto the plaine of Paran, which is by the wildernesse.
og Horiterne i Seirs Bjerge hen ad El-Paran til ved Ørkenens Rand;
7 And they returned and came to En-mishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the countrey of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites that dwelled in Hazezon-tamar.
så vendte de om og drog til Misjpatkilden, det er Hadesj, og slog Amalekiterne i hele deres Område og ligeså de Amoriter, der boede i Hazazon Tamar.
8 Then went out the King of Sodom, and the King of Gomorah, and the King of Admah, and the King of Zeboiim, and the King of Bela, which is Zoar: and they ioyned battell with them in the vale of Siddim:
Da drog Sodomas, Gomorras, Admas, Zebojims og Belas, det er Zoats, Konger ud og indlod sig i Siddims Dal i Kamp
9 To wit, with Chedor-laomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar: foure Kings against fiue.
med Kong Kedorlaomer af Elam, Kong Tid'al af Gojim, Kong Amrafel af Sinear og Kong Arjok af Ellasar, fire Konger mod fem.
10 Now the vale of Siddim was full of slime pits, and the Kings of Sodom and Gomorah fled and fell there: and ye residue fled to the mountaine.
Men Siddims Dal var fuld af Jordbeggruber; og da Sodomas og Gomorras Konger blev slået på Flugt, styrtede de i dem, medens de, der blev tilbage, flyede op i Bjergene.
11 Then they tooke all the substance of Sodom and Gomorah, and al their vitailes and went their way.
Så tog Fjenden alt Godset i Sodoma og Gomorra og alle Levnedsmidlerne og drog bort;
12 They tooke Lot also Abrams brothers sonne and his substance (for he dwelt at Sodom) and departed.
ligeledes tog de, da de drog bort, Abrams Brodersøn Lot og alt hans Gods med sig; thi han boede i Sodoma.
13 Then came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Ebrew, which dwelt in the plaine of Mamre ye Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner, which were confederat with Abram.
Men en Flygtning kom og meldte det til Hebræeren Abram, der boede ved den Lund, som tilhørte Amoriten Mamre, en Broder til Esjkol og Aner, der ligesom han var Abrams Pagtsfæller.
14 When Abram heard that his brother was taken, he brought forth of them that were borne and brought vp in his house, three hundreth and eighteene, and pursued them vnto Dan.
Da nu Abram hørte, at hans Frænde var taget til Fange, mønstrede han sine Husfolk, de hjemmefødte Trælle, 318 Mand, og satte efter Fjenden til Dan;
15 Then he, and his seruants deuided them selues against them by night, and smote them and pursued them vnto Hobah, which is on the left side of Damascus,
der faldt han og hans Trælle over dem om Natten, slog dem på Flugt og forfulgte dem op til Hoba norden for Damaskus.
16 And he recouered all the substance, and also brought againe his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also and the people.
Derefter bragte han alt Godset tilbage; også sin Frænde Lot og hans Gods førte han tilbage og ligeledes Kvinderne og Folket.
17 After that he returned from the slaughter of Chedor-laomer, and of the Kings that were with him, came the King of Sodom foorth to meete him in the valley of Shaueh, which is the Kings dale.
Da han nu kom tilbage fra Sejren over Kedorlaomer og de Konger, der fulgte ham, gik Sodomas Konge ham i Møde i Sjavedalen, det er Kongedalen.
18 And Melchi-zedek King of Shalem brought foorth bread and wine: and he was a Priest of the most high God.
Men Salems Konge Melkizedek, Gud den Allerhøjestes Præst, bragte Brød og Vin
19 Therefore he blessed him, saying, Blessed art thou, Abram, of God most high possessour of heauen and earth,
og velsignede ham med de Ord: "Priset være Abram for Gud den Allerhøjeste, Himmelens og Jordens Skaber,
20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath deliuered thine enemies into thine hand. And Abram gaue him tythe of all.
og priset være Gud den Allerhøjeste, der gav dine Fjender i din Hånd!" Og Abram gav ham Tiende af alt.
21 Then the King of Sodom saide to Abram, Giue me the persons, and take the goodes to thy selfe.
Sodomas Konge sagde derpå til Abram: "Giv mig Menneskene og behold selv Godset!"
22 And Abram said to the King of Sodom, I haue lift vp mine hand vnto the Lord the most hie God possessor of heauen and earth,
Men Abram svarede Sodomas Konge: "Til HERREN, Gud den Allerhøjeste, Himmelens og Jordens Skaber, løfter jeg min Hånd på,
23 That I will not take of all that is thine, so much as a threde or shoolatchet, lest thou shouldest say, I haue made Abram riche,
at jeg ikke vil tage så meget som en Tråd eller en Sandalrem eller overhovedet noget som helst af din Ejendom; du skal ikke sige, at du har gjort Abram rig!
24 Saue onely that, which the yong men haue eaten, and the partes of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre: let them take their partes.
Jeg vil intet have, kun hvad de unge Mænd har fortæret, og mine Ledsagere, Aner, Esjkol og Mamres Del, lad dem få deres Del!"
