Genesis 14
1 And it cometh to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goyim,
Dengang Amrafel var Konge i Sinear, Arjok i Ellasar, Kedorlaomer i Elam og Tid'al i Gojim,
2 they have made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboim, and the king of Bela, which [is] Zoar.
laa de i Krig med Kong Bera af Sodoma, Kong Birsja af Gomorra, Kong Sjin'ab af Adma, Kong Sjem'eber af Zebojim og Kongen i Bela, det et Zoar.
3 All these have been joined together unto the valley of Siddim, which [is] the Salt Sea;
Alle disse havde slaaet sig sammen og var rykket frem til Siddims Dal, det er Salthavet.
4 twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and the thirteenth year they rebelled.
I tolv Aar havde de staaet under Kedorlaomer, men i det trettende faldt de fra;
5 And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings who [are] with him, and they smite the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
og i det fjortende Aar 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, unto El-Paran, which [is] by the wilderness;
og Horiterne i Se'irs Bjerge hen ad El-Paran til ved Ørkenens Rand;
7 and they turn back and come in unto En-Mishpat, which [is] Kadesh, and smite the whole field of the Amalekite, and also the Amorite who is dwelling in Hazezon-Tamar.
saa vendte de om og drog til Misjpatkilden, det er Kadesj, og slog Amalekiterne i hele deres Omraade og ligesaa de Amoriter, der boede i Hazazon-Tamar.
8 And the king of Sodom goeth out, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboim, and the king of Bela, which [is] Zoar; and they set the battle in array with them in the valley of Siddim,
Da drog Sodomas, Gomorras, Admas, Zebojims og Belas, det er Zoars, Konger ud og indlod sig i Siddims Dal i Kamp
9 with Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goyim, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with the five.
med Kong Kedorlaomer af Elam, Kong Tid'al af Gojim, Kong Amrafel af Sinear og Kong Arjok af Ellasar, fire Konger mod fem.
10 And the valley of Siddim [is] full of bitumen-pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah flee, and fall there, and those left have fled to the mountain.
Men Siddims Dal var fuld af Jordbeggruber; og da Sodomas og Gomorras Konger blev slaaet paa Flugt, styrtede de i dem, medens de, der blev tilbage, flyede op i Bjergene.
11 And they take the whole substance of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the whole of their food, and go away;
Saa tog Fjenden alt Godset i Sodoma og Gomorra og alle Levnedsmidlerne og drog bort;
12 and they take Lot, Abram's brother's son (seeing he is dwelling in Sodom), and his substance, and go away.
ligeledes tog de, da de drog bort, Abrams Brodersøn Lot og alt hans Gods med sig; thi han boede i Sodoma.
13 And one who is escaping cometh and declareth to Abram the Hebrew, and he is dwelling among the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner, and they [are] Abram's allies.
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 And Abram heareth that his brother hath been taken captive, and he draweth out his trained domestics, three hundred and eighteen, and pursueth unto 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 And he divideth himself against them by night, he and his servants, and smiteth them, and pursueth them unto Hobah, which [is] at the left of Damascus;
der faldt han og hans Trælle over dem om Natten, slog dem paa Flugt og forfulgte dem op til Hoba norden for Damaskus.
16 and he bringeth back the whole of the substance, and also Lot his brother and his substance hath he brought back, and also the women and the people.
Derefter bragte han alt Godset tilbage; ogsaa sin Frænde Lot og hans Gods førte han tilbage og ligeledes Kvinderne og Folket.
17 And the king of Sodom goeth out to meet him (after his turning back from the smiting of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings who [are] with him), unto the valley of Shaveh, which [is] the king's valley.
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 Melchizedek king of Salem hath brought out bread and wine, and he [is] priest of God Most High;
Men Salems Konge Melkizedek, Gud den Allerhøjestes Præst, bragte Brød og Vin
19 and he blesseth him, and saith, 'Blessed [is] Abram to God Most High, possessing heaven and earth;
og velsignede ham med de Ord: »Priset være Abram for Gud den Allerhøjeste, Himmelens og Jordens Skaber,
20 and blessed [is] God Most High, who hath delivered thine adversaries into thy hand;' and he giveth to him a tenth of all.
og priset være Gud den Allerhøjeste, der gav dine Fjender i din Haand!« Og Abram gav ham Tiende af alt.
21 And the king of Sodom saith unto Abram, 'Give to me the persons, and the substance take to thyself,'
Sodomas Konge sagde derpaa til Abram: »Giv mig Menneskene og behold selv Godset!«
22 and Abram saith unto the king of Sodom, 'I have lifted up my hand unto Jehovah, God Most High, possessing heaven and earth —
Men Abram svarede Sodomas Konge: »Til HERREN, Gud den Allerhøjeste, Himmelens og Jordens Skaber, løfter jeg min Haand paa,
23 from a thread even unto a shoe-latchet I take not of anything which thou hast, that thou say not, I — I have made Abram rich;
at jeg ikke vil tage saa meget som en Traad eller en Sandalrem eller overhovedet noget som helst af din Ejendom; du skal ikke sige, at du har gjort Abram rig!
24 save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who have gone with me — Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre — they take their portion.'
Jeg vil intet have — kun hvad de unge Mænd har fortæret, og mine Ledsagere, Aner, Esjkol og Mamres Del, lad dem faa deres Del!«
