Genesis 14
1 In a region to the east, there were four kings [who were friends/allies]. They were King Amraphel of Babylonia, King Arioch of Ellasar, King Chedorlaomer of Elam, and King Tidal of Goiim.
В дните не Сенаарския цар Амарфал, Еласарският цар Ариох, Еламският цар Ходологомор и Гоимският цар Тидал,
2 In an area to the west, there were five other kings. They were King Bera of Sodom, King Birsha of Gomorrah, King Shinab of Admah, King Shemeber of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, the city that is now called Zoar.
тия царе отвориха война против Содомския цар Вера, Гоморския цар Верса, Адманския цар Сенав, Цевоимския цар Симовор и царя на Вала, (която е Сигор).
3 Those five kings and their armies gathered together in Siddim Valley, which is also called the Dead Sea [Valley], to fight against the four kings and their armies. King Chedorlaomer and his army [conquered the armies of those five kings, and demanded that those kings pay him tribute money each year].
Всички тия се събраха в Сидимската долина (дето е сега Соленото Море).
4 For twelve years he ruled them. But during the thirteenth year they rebelled [and refused to keep giving him tribute money].
Дванадесет години бяха се подчинявали на Ходологомора, а в тринадесетата въстанаха.
5 The next year, King Chedorlaomer and the other kings that were his allies took their armies and defeated the Repha people-group in Ashteroth-Karnaim and the Zuz people-group in Ham, and the Emi people-group in Shaveh-Kiriathaim.
В четиринадесетата година дойдоха Ходологомор и царете, които бяха с него, та поразиха рафаимите в Астарот-карнаим, зузимите в Хам, емимите в Сави-кириатаим
6 They also defeated the Hor people-group in the hilly area of Seir as far as El-Paran near the desert.
и хорейците в поляната им Сиир, до Елфаран, който е при пустинята.
7 Then they turned back and went to Mishpat [city], which is now called Kadesh. They conquered all the land belonging to the Amalek people-group and the Amor people-group who were living in Hazazon-Tamar [town].
А като се върнаха, дойдоха в Ен-мишнат, (който е Кадис), и поразиха цялата страна на амаликитяните, както и амореите, които живееха в Асасон-тамар.
8 Then the armies of the kings of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim and Bela marched out to fight the armies of the other four kings in Siddim Valley. That valley is close to the Salt/Dead Sea.
Тогава Содомският цар, Гоморският цар, Адманският цар, Цевоимският цар и царят на Вала, (която е Сигор), излязоха и се опълчиха против тях на бой в Сидимската долина:
9 They fought against the armies of Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, Tidal the king of Goiim, Amraphel the king of Shinar, and Arioch the king of Ellasar. The armies of four kings were fighting against the armies of five kings.
против Еламския цар Ходологомор, Гиомския цар Тидал, Сенаарския цар Амарфал и Еласарския цар Ариох. Имаше четирима царе против петимата.
10 The Siddim Valley was full of tar pits. So when the armies of the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah tried to run away, many of the men fell into the tar pits. The others escaped and ran away to the hills.
А Сидимската долина беше пълна със смолни кладенци; и Содомският и Гоморският царе, като бягаха, паднаха в тях, а останалите избягаха на бърдото.
11 As [the armies of the five kings] fled, [the armies of the four kings] seized all of the valuable things in Sodom and Gomorrah, including all the food.
И победителите задигнаха всичкия имот на Содома и Гомора и всичката им храна и си отидоха.
12 They also captured Abram’s nephew Lot and his possessions, since he was living in Sodom at that time.
Взеха и Аврамовия братанец Лот, който живееше в Содом, заедно с имота му и си отидоха.
13 Abram was living near the big trees near Mamre, who belonged to the Amor people-group. Abram had made an agreement with Mamre and his two brothers, Eshcol and Aner, [that they would help each other if there was a war].
А един от избавилите се дойде и извести това на евреина Аврам; той живееше при дъбовете на Амореца Мамврий, брат на Есхола и брат на Анера, които бяха Аврамови съюзници.
14 One of the men who escaped from the battle told Abram what had happened and that his nephew Lot had been captured and taken away. So Abram summoned 318 men who were his servants, men who had been with Abram since they were born. They all went together and pursued their enemies as far north as Dan [city].
А като чу Аврам, че брат му бил пленен, изведе своите триста и осемнадесет обучени мъже, родени в неговия дом и гони неприятеля до Дан.
15 During the night, Abram divided the men into several groups, and they attacked their enemies from various directions and defeated them. They pursued them as far as Hobah, which was north of Damascus [city].
И през нощта, той и слугите му, като се разделиха против тях, поразиха ги и ги гониха до Хова, която е от ляво на Дамаск.
16 Abram’s men recovered all of the goods that had been taken. They also rescued Lot and all his possessions and also the women and others who had been captured by their enemies.
И възвърна всичкия имот, върна на брата си Лота с имота му, както и жените и людете.
17 As Abram was returning home after he and his men had defeated the armies of King Chedorlaomer and the other kings who had fought alongside him, the king of Sodom went north to meet him in Shaveh Valley, which people call the King’s Valley.
И като се върна Аврам от поражението на Ходологомора и на царете, които бяха с него, Содомският цар излезе да го посрещне в Савинската долина, (която е Царевата долина).
18 The king of Salem [city], whose name was Melchizedek, was also a priest who offered sacrifices to the Supreme God. He brought some bread and wine to Abram.
Така Салимският цар Мелхиседек, който беше свещеник на Всемогъщия Бог, изнесе хляб и вино
19 Then he blessed Abram, saying “I ask the Supreme God, the one who created heaven and earth, to bless you.
та го благослови, казвайки: Благословен да бъде Аврам от Всевишния Бог, Създател на небето и на земята;
20 The Supreme God has enabled you to defeat [MTY] your enemies, so we should praise/thank him.” Then Abram gave to Melchizedek a tenth part of all the things he had captured.
благословен и Всевишният Бог, който предаде неприятелите ти в твоята ръка. И Аврам му даде десетък от всичко.
21 The king of Sodom said to Abram, “You can keep all the goods you recovered. Just let me take back the people from my city whom you rescued.”
А Содомският цар рече на Аврама: Дай ми човеците, а имота задръж за себе си.
22 But Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have solemnly promised [MTY] to Yahweh, the Supreme God, the one who created heaven and earth,
Но Аврам каза на Содомския цар: Аз дигнах ръката си пред Господа, Всевишния Бог, Създател на небето и земята,
23 that I will not accept even one thread or a thong of a sandal from anything that belongs to you. As a result, you will never be able to say, ‘I caused Abram to become rich.’
и се заклех, че няма да взема нищо от твоето, ни конец ни ремък за обуща, да не би да речеш: Аз обогатих Аврама.
24 The only thing I will accept is the food that my men have eaten. But Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre went with me and fought alongside me, so let them also have a share of the goods we brought back.” [So the king of Sodom agreed to what he said].
Приемам само онова, което изядоха момците; и дела на мъжете които отидоха с мене: Анер, Есхол и Мамври - те нека вземат дела си.
