Genesis 14
1 It happened in the days of Amraphel, king of Shinar, Arioch, king of Ellasar, Kedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of Goiim,
Te vaeng tue kah aka om Shinar manghai Amraphel, Ellasar manghai Ariyawk, Elam manghai Kedorlaomer neh Goiim manghai Tidal loh;
2 that they made war with Bera, king of Sodom, and with Birsha, king of Gomorrah, Shinab, king of Admah, and Shemeber, king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar).
Sodom manghai Bera, Gomorrah manghai Birsha, Admah manghai Shinab, Zeboiim manghai Shemeber neh Zoar manghai Bela taengah caemtloeknah a saii uh.
3 All these joined together in the Valley of Siddim (that is, the Salt Sea).
Te rhoek boeih te Lungkaeh tuitunli kah Siddim kol ah cingcui uh.
4 Twelve years they served Kedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year, they rebelled.
Kedorlaomer taengah kum hlai nit thotat uh dae kum a hlai thum vaengah a tloelh uh coeng.
5 In the fourteenth year, Kedorlaomer and the kings allied with him came and attacked the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
Kum hlai li vaengah Kedorlaomer khaw amah taengkah manghai rhoek neh cet tih Ashterothkarnaim kah Rephaim neh Ham kah Zuzim khaw, Shaveh Kiriathaim kah Emim khaw,
6 and the Horite, in the hills of Seir, to El Paran, which is near the desert.
Seir tlang kah Khori neh khosoek taengkah Elparan duela a tloek.
7 They returned, and came to En Mishpat (that is, Kadesh), and attacked all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that lived in Hazazon Tamar.
Te phoeiah bal uh tih Kadesh kah Enmishpat te a paan uh vaengah Amalek khohmuen boeih neh Hazezontamar ah kho aka sa Amori te khaw a tloek uh.
8 The king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar) came out; and they took up battle positions in the Valley of Siddim
Te phoeiah Sodom manghai khaw, Gomorrah manghai khaw, Admah manghai khaw, Zeboiim kah manghai Zeboiin khaw, Zoar manghai Bela khaw, amih neh aka thoo hmaih Siddim kol kah caemtloeknah te khaw,
9 against Kedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings against the five.
Elam manghai Kedorlaomer khaw, Goiim manghai Tidal khaw, Shinar manghai Amraphel khaw, Ellasar manghai Aryawk khaw manghai rhoek pali panga te a muk.
10 Now the Valley of Siddim was full of tar pits; and the king of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah fled, and they fell there, and those who remained fled to the hills.
Te vaengah Sodom neh Gomorrah manghai te rhaelrham uh dae Siddim kol kah aka om tuito, lungpaat tuito ah cungku rhoi tih aka sueng rhoek te tlang la rhaelrham uh.
11 They took all the possessions of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their food, and left.
Te dongah Sodom neh Gomorrah kah khuehtawn boeih khaw cakok boeih a loh uh tih cet uh.
12 They also took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who lived in Sodom, and his possessions, and departed.
Te vaengah Abram maya capa Lot khaw Sodom ah kho a sak van dongah amah neh a khuehtawn te rhen a khuen uh tih a caeh puei uh.
13 One who had escaped came and told Abram, the Hebrew. Now he lived by the oaks of Mamre, the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner; and these were allies of Abram.
Te vaengah hlangyong te Mamre thingnu rhoek taengah aka cu Amori hoel Eshkol neh Aner kah a manuca tah halo tih Hebrew hoel Abram taengah puen. Amih te Abram kah a tai kung ni.
14 When Abram heard that his relative was taken captive, he mobilized his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued as far as Dan.
A manuca a sol pah te Abram loh a yaak van neh amah kah a hlangphaep neh a im kah a cahlah ya thum neh hlai rhet te a hui tih Dan duela a hloem.
15 He divided his forces against them at night, he and his servants, and attacked them, and pursued them to Hobah, which is north of Damascus.
Tedae khoyin ah amah loh a sal rhoek te hloephloep a tael tih caem a tloek. Te phoeiah amih te Damasku kah banvoei ben Hobah duela a hloem.
16 He brought back all the possessions, and also brought back his relative, Lot, and his possessions, as well as the women and the other people.
Te dongah khuehtawn boeih neh a manuca Lot khaw a lat tih anih kah khuehtawn khaw huta rhoek khaw pilnam khaw ham bal puei bal.
17 The king of Sodom went out to meet him, after his return from the defeat of Kedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, at the valley of Shaveh (that is, the King's Valley).
Te vaengah Kedorlaomer neh anih taengkah manghai rhoek te a tloek phoei lamkah Abram a bal vaengah anih aka doe ham Sodom manghai loh Shaveh kol manghai tuikol la cet.
18 Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; now he was priest of God Most High.
Te vaengah Pathen Pathen taengkah khosoih, Salem manghai Melkhizedek loh vaidam neh misurtui a khuen.
19 He blessed him, and said, "Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Maker of heaven and earth:
Te phoeiah Abram te yoethen a paek tih, “Vaan neh diklai aka men Pathen Pathen loh Abram yoe a then sak.
20 and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand." And he gave him a tenth of everything.
Na rhal rhoek te nang kut ah aka tloeng Pathen Pathen khaw a yoethen pai,” a ti nah. Te dongah Abram loh a cungkuem khui lamkah parha pakhat te anih taengla a paek.
21 Now the king of Sodom said to Abram, "Give me the people, and take the possessions for yourself."
Tedae Sodom manghai long tah Abram taengah, “Hinglu te kai ham khueh lamtah khuehtawn te namah ham khuen,” a ti nah.
22 Abram said to the king of Sodom, "I have lifted up my hand to God Most High, Maker of heaven and earth,
Te dongah Abram loh Sodom manghai taengah, “Vaan neh diklai aka men Khohni Pathen Yahweh taengah ka kut ka phuel coeng.
23 that I will not take a thread nor a sandal strap nor anything that is yours, lest you should say, 'I have made Abram rich.'
Nang taengkah boeih tah rhuihet neh khokhom rhui pataeng ka doe mahpawh. Te daengah ni, 'Kai loh Abram ka boei sak,’ na ti pawt eh.
24 I will accept nothing from you except that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. Let them take their portion."
Kai te rhaemaih. Tedae camoe rhoek kah a caak neh Aner Eshkol neh Mamre ah kamah taengla aka lo hlang rhoek kah hamsum te tah amamih kah hamsum la lo uh saeh,” a ti nah.
