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.
Leleꞌ naa, hambu maneꞌ haa raꞌabꞌue. Naeni: Amrafel, mane nusa Sinear. Ariok, mane nusa Elasar. Kedarlaomer, mane nusa Elam. Ma Tideal, mane nusa Goyim.
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.
Ma mane feaꞌ lima o raꞌabꞌue boe. Naeni: Bera, mane kota Sodꞌom. Birsa, mane kota Gomora. Sinab, mane nusa Adema. Semeber, mane nusa Seboim. Ma Bela, mane nusa Soar. Mane ka haaꞌ ra ratati labꞌan mane ka limaꞌ ra.
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].
Mane ka limaꞌ ra raꞌabꞌue ro soldꞌadꞌu nara sia babafaꞌ sa naran Sidim (fo aleꞌ ia ara rae Tasi Mates).
4 For twelve years he ruled them. But during the thirteenth year they rebelled [and refused to keep giving him tribute money].
Netatiꞌ naa, huu na taꞌo ia: Maꞌahulu na, mane ka limaꞌ ra taꞌalok mane Kedarlaomer losa too sanahulu rua. Te too ka sanahulu telu na ma, ara labꞌan e.
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.
Masoꞌ too ka sanahulu haa na ma, mane Kedarlaomer no nonoo mane ka teluꞌ nara rema ro soldꞌadꞌu nara. Ara ratati rakalaꞌ nusaꞌ hira. Naeni: atahori Refaim sia nusa Asterot-Karnaim, atahori Susim sia nusa Ham, atahori Emim sia nusa Sawe-Kiryataim,
6 They also defeated the Hor people-group in the hilly area of Seir as far as El-Paran near the desert.
ma atahori Hori mana leo sia lete Seir losa nembe saraꞌaeꞌ El Paran suu na.
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].
Basa ma, ara baliꞌ risiꞌ En Mispat (fo aleꞌ ia naran Kades). Ara tao ralutu atahori Amalek nusa na, ro atahori Amori mana leo nusa Haseson-Tamar.
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.
Basa naa ma, mane ka limaꞌ ra ator soldꞌadꞌu nara sia babafaꞌ Sidim, de ratati labꞌan mane ka haaꞌ ra.
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.
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.
Sia babafaꞌ naa, hambu lifu ter romaꞌ naeꞌ. Leleꞌ ara ratati ma, mane Sodꞌom no mane Gomora ma soldꞌadꞌu nara rela. Ruma tudꞌa risiꞌ lifu ter rala, ma ruma rela risiꞌ leteꞌ.
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.
Mane ka haaꞌ ra rasenggiꞌ mane ka limaꞌ ra, de rambas rala basa sudꞌiꞌ a saa ma nanaat mia Sodꞌom no Gomora. Basa de, ara baliꞌ.
12 They also captured Abram’s nephew Lot and his possessions, since he was living in Sodom at that time.
Leleꞌ naa, Abram ana na Lot leo sia Sodꞌom. De mane ka haaꞌ ra toꞌu rendi Lot se, ma rambas rendi basa sudꞌiꞌ a saa nara.
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].
Te atahori esa sai, de neu nafadꞌe Abram, atahori Ibrani a. Hambu atahori Amori esa, naran Mamre. Abram leo deka sia Mamre hau-hau huu ine na. Mamre odꞌi na, Eskol no Aner. Sira, mana dadꞌi Abram partei na.
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].
Abram rena oi atahori toꞌu rendi ana na ma, ana naꞌabꞌue nala atahori mana ratati rahine mia mana tao ues nara. Basa se atahori natun telu sanahulu falu. Ara reu oi mane ka haaꞌ ra losa kambo Dan fo naꞌadooꞌ sia seriꞌ dii.
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].
Sia naa, Abram banggi atahori nara reu babanggiꞌ hira. Tetemba na ma, reu sambu atahori naa ra. Te ruma rela, ma Abram se oi rakandoo se, losa kambo Hoba, sia kota Damsik seriꞌ dii.
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.
Basa naa ma, Abram haꞌi nala baliꞌ Lot, no atahori nara, ro basa sudꞌiꞌ a saa nara, ma atahori feaꞌ ra boe.
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.
Abram baliꞌ mia nakalaꞌ mane ka haaꞌ ra ma, mane Sodꞌom nema soru e mia babafaꞌ sa naran Sawe (fo atahori rae, Babafa Maneꞌ).
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.
Leleꞌ naa, mane Salem a, naran Melkisedek. Ana o malangga agama mia Lamatualain mana sia Ataꞌ a. Ana nendi fee Abram, roti no oe anggor.
19 Then he blessed Abram, saying “I ask the Supreme God, the one who created heaven and earth, to bless you.
Basa ma ana olaꞌ fee Abram papala-babꞌanggiꞌ nae, “Hela fo Lamatualain mana sia Ataꞌ a, ma mana tao lalai no raefafoꞌ a, fee nggo papala-babꞌanggiꞌ. Koa-kio Lamatualain, mana fee nggo musenggiꞌ musu mara.” Basa boe ma Abram fee Melkisedek babanggiꞌ esa mia sanahulu, mia basa saa fo ana rambas nala baliꞌ ra.
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.
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.”
Boe ma, mane Sodꞌom sendeꞌ fee hadat neu Abram nae, “Ama Abram. Sudꞌiꞌ a saa fo amaꞌ rambas mia musu nggara, amaꞌ hambu basa se. Te au oꞌe baliꞌ akaꞌ a atahori nggara.”
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,
Abram nataa nae, “Au sumba endiꞌ Lamatualain mana sia Ataꞌ a, ma mana tao lalai no raefafoꞌ a,
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.’
ae, au nda haꞌi ala saa saꞌ boe mia ho sudꞌiꞌ a saa mara. Mae abꞌas ndooꞌ esa o, au nda haꞌi sa. No taꞌo naa, ho nda hambu olaꞌ mae, ‘Abram namasuꞌi, huu au.’
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].
Au nda parlu saa saꞌ boe. Akaꞌ a bee fo au atahori nggara pakeꞌ ra, naa mana basaꞌ ena. Ma fee au nonoo ka telu ngga ia ra, Aner, Eskol no Mamre, haꞌi rendi babanggi nara.”
