< Genesis 14 >

1 Tokosra akosr, Amraphel lun Babylonia, Arioch lun Ellasar, Chedorlaomer lun Elam, ac Tidal lun Goiim,
Now it happened in that time that Amraphel, king of Shinar, and Arioch, king of Pontus, and Chedorlaomer, king of the Elamites, and Tidal, king of the Nations,
2 elos som in mweun lain tokosra limekosr saya: Bera lun Sodom, Birsha lun Gomorrah, Shinab lun Admah, Shemeber lun Zeboiim, ac tokosra lun Bela (ku Zoar).
went to war against Bera, king of Sodom, and against Birsha, king of Gomorrah, and against Shinab, king of Admah, and against Shemeber, king of Zeboiim, and against the king of Bela, that is Zoar.
3 Tokosra limekosr inge toeni orala u se, ac fahsreni nu Infalfal Siddim, su pa Meoa Misa in pacl inge.
All these came together in the wooded valley, which is now the Sea of Salt.
4 Elos tuh muta ye nununku lal Chedorlaomer ke yac singoul luo, tusruktu in yac se aksingoul tolu elos tuyak lainul.
For they had served Chedorlaomer for twelve years, and in the thirteenth year they withdrew from him.
5 In yac aksingoul akosr Chedorlaomer ac tokosra tolu wial tuku wi un mwet mweun lalos ac kutangla mwet Rephaim in acn Ashtaroth Karnaim, oayapa mwet Zuzim in acn Ham, mwet Emim in acn tupasrpasr lun Kiriathaim,
Therefore, in the fourteenth year, Chedorlaomer arrived, and the kings who were with him. And they struck the Rephaim at Ashteroth of the two horns, and the Zuzim with them, and the Emim at Shaveh-Kiriathaim.
6 ac mwet Hor infulan eol Edom, ukwalos na nwe Elparan sisken acn mwesis.
and the Chorreans in the mountains of Seir, even to the plains of Paran, which is in the wilderness.
7 Na elos forla ac foloko nu Kadesh (in pacl so pangpang Enmishpat.) Elos eisla acn nukewa lun mwet Amalek, ac kutangla mwet Amor su muta Hazazon Tamar.
And they returned and arrived at the fountain of Mishpat, which is Kadesh. And they struck the entire region of the Amalekites, and the Amorites who dwelt in Hazazontamar.
8 Na Tokosra lun Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim, ac Bela elos mokuiyak wi un mwet mweun lalos in mweun Infalfal Siddim
And the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and indeed the king of Bela, which is Zoar, went forth. And they directed their point against them in the wooded valley,
9 lain tokosra lun Elam, Goiim, Babylonia, ac Ellasar — tokosra limekosr lain tokosra akosr.
namely, against Chedorlaomer, king of the Elamites, and Tidal, king of the Nations, and Amraphel, king of Shinar, and Arioch, king of Pontus: four kings against five.
10 Infalfal sac sessesla ke lufin tar, ac ke tokosra lun Sodom ac Gomorrah srike in kaingla liki mweun uh, elos putatyang nu in luf inge, a tokosra tolu saya uh kaingla nu fineol ah.
Now the wooded valley had many pits of bitumen. And so the king of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah turned back and they fell there. And those who remained, fled to the mountain.
11 Tokosra akosr ah usla ma nukewa in acn Sodom ac Gomorrah, wi mwe mongo we, ac som.
Then they took all the substance of the Sodomites and the Gomorrhites, and all that pertained to food, and they went away,
12 Lot, wen nutin ma lel Abram, el muta Sodom in pacl sac, ac elos usalla ac ma lal nukewa.
along with both Lot, the son of Abram’s brother, who lived in Sodom, and his substance.
13 Tusruktu oasr mwet se kaingla ac fahkak ma sikyak inge nukewa nu sel Abram, mwet Hebrew se su muta fototo nu ke sak oal sunal Mamre, mwet Amor. Mamre ac tamulel luo wial, Eshcol ac Aner, elos welul Abram lac ke pacl in mweun.
And behold, one who had escaped reported it to Abram the Hebrew, who lived in the steep valley of Mamre the Amorite, who was the brother of Eshcol, and the brother of Aner. For these had formed an agreement with Abram.
14 Ke Abram el lohng lah sruhu wen nutin mwet lel, el pangoneni mukul nukewa ke nien aktuktuk lal su etu mweun — mukul tolfoko singoul oalkosr nufon — ac ukwe na tokosra akosr ah nwe Dan.
When Abram had heard this, namely, that his brother Lot had been taken captive, he numbered three hundred and eighteen of his own armed men and he went in pursuit all the way to Dan.
15 Ke elos sun acn we, el kitalik mwet lal ah nu ke u, ac sroang nu sin mwet lokoalok lalos ke fong, ac kutangulosla. El ukwalos na nwe Hobah, epang in Damascus,
And dividing his company, he rushed upon them in the night. And he struck them and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.
16 ac folokonma ma wap nukewa ma elos tuh usla. El oayapa folokunulma Lot, wen nutin ma lel, wi ma lal nukewa, weang mutan ac mwet kapir pac saya.
And he brought back all the substance, and Lot his brother, with his substance, likewise the women and the people.
17 Ke Abram el foloko tukun el kutangulla Chedorlaomer ac tokosra ma welul, tokosra lun acn Sodom el illa in sonol Infalfal Shaveh (pangpang pac Infalfal lun Tokosra).
Then the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after he returned from the slaughter at Chedorlaomer, and the kings who were with him at the valley of Shaveh, which is the valley of the king.
18 Ac Melchizedek, su tokosra lun acn Salem ac el oayapa sie mwet tol lun God Fulatlana, el use bread ac wain nu yorol Abram,
Then in truth, Melchizedek, the king of Salem, brought forth bread and wine, for he was a priest of the Most High God;
19 ac akinsewowoyal ac fahk, “Lela God Fulatlana, su orala kusrao ac faclu, in akinsewowoyal Abram!
he blessed him, and he said: “Blessed be Abram by the Most High God, who created heaven and earth.
20 Lela in kaksakinyuk God Fulatlana, su asot kutangla nu sum fin mwet lokoalok lom!” Ac Abram el sang nu sel Melchizedek sie tafu singoul in ma wap nukewa ma el folokonma.
And blessed be the Most High God, through whose protection the enemies are in your hands.” And he gave him tithes from everything.
21 Tokosra lun Sodom el fahk nu sel Abram, “Sruokya ma wap an lom, tusruktu folokonma nufon mwet luk an.”
Then the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me these souls, and take the rest for yourself.”
22 Na Abram el fahk, “Nga orala fulahk luk ye mutun LEUM GOD, El su Fulatlana, su orala kusrao ac faclu,
And he responded to him: “I lift up my hand to the Lord God, the Most High, the Possessor of heaven and earth,
23 lah nga ac fah tiana sruokya kutena ma lom, finne turet soko ku soko mwe lohl fahluk, kom in mau tia ku in fahk mu, ‘Nga pa oru Abram el kasrup.’
that from one thread within a blanket, even to a single shoelace, I will not take anything from that which is yours, lest you say, ‘I have enriched Abram,’
24 Nga fah tiana eis kutena ma, sayen ma mwet luk inge orekmakin tari uh. Tusruktu lela elos su wiyu inge (Aner, Eshcol, ac Mamre) in eis ip lalos.”
except that which the young men have eaten, and the shares for the men who came with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. These will take their shares.”
