創世記 14
1 シナルの王アムラペル、エラサルの王アリオク、エラムの王ケダラオメルおよびゴイムの王テダルの世に、
And it came to pass, in the days of Amraphel, king of Shinar, Arioch, king of Ellasar, —Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goim,
2 これらの王はソドムの王ベラ、ゴモラの王ビルシャ、アデマの王シナブ、ゼボイムの王セメベル、およびベラすなわちゾアルの王と戦った。
that they 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—the same, is Zoar.
3 これら五人の王はみな同盟してシデムの谷、すなわち塩の海に向かって行った。
All these, joined together in the valley of the open fields, the same, is the Salt Sea.
4 すなわち彼らは十二年の間ケダラオメルに仕えたが、十三年目にそむいたので、
Twelve years, had they served Chedorlaomer, —but in the thirteenth year had they rebelled;
5 十四年目にケダラオメルは彼と連合した王たちと共にきて、アシタロテ・カルナイムでレパイムびとを、ハムでズジびとを、シャベ・キリアタイムでエミびとを撃ち、
and in the fourteenth year, had Chedorlaomer come in and the kings who were with him, so they smote the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, —and the Emim, in Shaveh-kiriathaim;
6 セイルの山地でホリびとを撃って、荒野のほとりにあるエル・パランに及んだ。
and the Horites in their Mount Seir, —as far as El-paran, which is by the desert.
7 彼らは引き返してエン・ミシパテすなわちカデシへ行って、アマレクびとの国をことごとく撃ち、またハザゾン・タマルに住むアモリびとをも撃った。
So they returned and came in unto En-mishpat, the same, is Kadish, and smote all the field of the Amalekites, —and the Amorites also that dwelt in Hazazon-tamar,
8 そこでソドムの王、ゴモラの王、アデマの王、ゼボイムの王およびベラすなわちゾアルの王は出てシデムの谷で彼らに向かい、戦いの陣をしいた。
Thus then went forth the King of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah and the king of Zeboim, and the king of Bela the same, is Zoar—and set themselves in array against them for battle, in the valley of the open fields:
9 すなわちエラムの王ケダラオメル、ゴイムの王テダル、シナルの王アムラペル、エラサルの王アリオクの四人の王に対する五人の王であった。
against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goim, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar, —four kings against five.
10 シデムの谷にはアスファルトの穴が多かったので、ソドムの王とゴモラの王は逃げてそこに落ちたが、残りの者は山にのがれた。
Now, the valley of the open fields, had many pits of bitumen, so the king of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there, —while, they who remained, towards a mountain, fled.
11 そこで彼らはソドムとゴモラの財産と食料とをことごとく奪って去り、
And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their food and went their way.
12 またソドムに住んでいたアブラムの弟の子ロトとその財産を奪って去った。
And they took Lot, Abram’s brother’s son with his goods, and went their way, —he, being a dweller in Sodom.
13 時に、ひとりの人がのがれてきて、ヘブルびとアブラムに告げた。この時アブラムはエシコルの兄弟、またアネルの兄弟であるアモリびとマムレのテレビンの木のかたわらに住んでいた。彼らはアブラムと同盟していた。
Then came in a fugitive, and told Abram the Hebrew, —he, having his dwelling among the oaks of Mamre the Amorite brother of Eshcol and brother of Aner, they, also having a covenant with Abram.
14 アブラムは身内の者が捕虜になったのを聞き、訓練した家の子三百十八人を引き連れてダンまで追って行き、
So Abram, hearing that his brother had been taken captive, drew forth his trained men born in his house three hundred and eighteen, and pursued as far as Dan.
15 そのしもべたちを分けて、夜かれらを攻め、これを撃ってダマスコの北、ホバまで彼らを追った。
And he divided himself against them by night, he, and his servants, and smote them, —and pursued them as far as Hobah, which was on the left of Damascus.
16 そして彼はすべての財産を取り返し、また身内の者ロトとその財産および女たちと民とを取り返した。
So he brought back all the goods, —yea Lot also his brother with his goods, did he bring back, and the women also, and the people.
17 アブラムがケダラオメルとその連合の王たちを撃ち破って帰った時、ソドムの王はシャベの谷、すなわち王の谷に出て彼を迎えた。
Then came forth the king of Sodom to meet him, after his return from the smiting of Chedorlaomer, and the kings who were with him, —into the vale of Shaveh the same, was the vale of the king.
18 その時、サレムの王メルキゼデクはパンとぶどう酒とを持ってきた。彼はいと高き神の祭司である。
Now Melchizedek king of Salem, had brought forth bread and wine, —he, being priest of GOD Most High.
19 彼はアブラムを祝福して言った、「願わくは天地の主なるいと高き神が、アブラムを祝福されるように。
So he blessed him and said, —Blessed be Abram of GOD Most High, possessor of [the] heavens and earth;
20 願わくはあなたの敵をあなたの手に渡されたいと高き神があがめられるように」。アブラムは彼にすべての物の十分の一を贈った。
And blessed be GOD Most High, who hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. So he gave unto him a tenth of all.
21 時にソドムの王はアブラムに言った、「わたしには人をください。財産はあなたが取りなさい」。
Then said the king of Sodom unto Abram, —Give unto me the persons, but the goods, take thou for thyself.
22 アブラムはソドムの王に言った、「天地の主なるいと高き神、主に手をあげて、わたしは誓います。
And Abram said unto the king of Sodom, —I have lifted up my hand unto Yahweh GOD Most High, possessor of [the] heavens and earth:
23 わたしは糸一本でも、くつひも一本でも、あなたのものは何にも受けません。アブラムを富ませたのはわたしだと、あなたが言わないように。
That not from a thread even unto a sandal-thong, —will I take, anything, that is thine, —Lest thou shouldst say, I, enriched Abram!
24 ただし若者たちがすでに食べた物は別です。そしてわたしと共に行った人々アネルとエシコルとマムレとにはその分を取らせなさい」。
Save only what the young men have eaten, and the share of the men who went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre, they may take their share.
