تكوين 14

١ 1 وَحَدَثَ فِي زَمَانِ أَمْرَافَلَ مَلِكِ شِنْعَارَ وَأَرْيُوكَ مَلِكِ أَلاسَارَ وَكَدَرْلَعَوْمَرَ مَلِكِ عِيلامَ وَتِدْعَالَ مَلِكِ جُويِيمَ،

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 Goiim,

٢ 2 أَنَّ حَرْباً نَشَبَتْ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ بَارَعَ مَلِكِ سَدُومَ وَبِرْشَاعَ مَلِكِ عَمُورَةَ وَشِنْآبَ مَلِكِ أَدْمَةَ وَشِمْئِيبَرَ مَلِكِ صَبُويِيمَ، وَمَلِكِ بَالَعَ الْمَعْرُوفَةِ بِصُوغَرَ.

that they made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar).

٣ 3 هَؤُلاءِ جَمِيعُهُمُ احْتَشَدُوا فِي وَادِي السِّدِّيمِ (وَهُوَ بَحْرُ الْمِلْحِ؛ الْبَحْرُ الْمَيِّتُ)

All these joined together in the valley of Siddim (the same is the Salt Sea).

٤ 4 وَكَانَ كَدَرْلَعَوْمَرُ قَدِ اسْتَعْبَدَهُمْ طَوَالَ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، وَفِي السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةَ عَشْرَةَ تَمَرَّدُوا عَلَيْهِ.

They served Chedorlaomer twelve years, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.

٥ 5 وَفِي السَّنَةِ الرَّابِعَةَ عَشْرَةَ اجْتَمَعَ كَدَرْلَعَوْمَرُ وَحُلَفَاؤُهُ الْمُلُوكُ وَقَهَرُوا الرَّفَائِيِّينَ فِي عَشْتَارُوثَ قَرْنَايِمَ، وَالزُّوزِيِّينَ فِي هَامَ، وَالإِيمِيِّينَ فِي سَهْلِ قَرْيَتَايِمَ،

And in the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer came, and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh-kiriathaim,

٦ 6 وَالْحُورِيِّينَ فِي جَبَلِهِمْ سَعِيرَ حَتَّى بُطْمَةِ فَارَانَ عَلَى حُدُودِ الصَّحْرَاءِ.

and the Horites on their mount Seir, to Elparan, which is by the wilderness.

٧ 7 ثُمَّ اسْتَدَارُوا حَتَّى أَقْبَلُوا عَلَى عَيْنِ مِشْفَاطَ، الَّتِي هِيَ قَادِشُ، فَهَزَمُوا بِلادَ الْعَمَالِقَةِ كُلَّهَا وَالأَمُورِيِّينَ السَّاكِنِينَ فِي حَصُّونَ تَامَارَ.

And they returned, and came to En-mishpat (the same is Kadesh), and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, who dwelt in Hazazon-tamar.

٨ 8 فَخَرجَ مَلِكُ سَدُومَ وَمَلِكُ عَمُورَةَ وَمَلِكُ أَدْمَةَ وَمَلِكُ صَبُويِيمَ وَمَلِكُ بَالَعَ، الَّتِي هِيَ صُوغَرُ، فِي عُمْقِ السِّدِّيمِ وَخَاضُوا حَرْباً

And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar), and they set the battle in array against them in the valley of Siddim,

٩ 9 مَعْ كَدَرْلَعَوْمَرَ مَلِكِ عِيلامَ وَتِدْعَالَ مَلِكِ جُويِيمَ وَأَمْرَافَلَ مَلِكِ شِنْعَارَ وَأَرْيُوكَ مَلِكِ أَلاسَارَ، فَكَانُوا أَرْبَعَةَ مُلوكٍ ضِدَّ خَمْسَةٍ.

against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings against the five.

١٠ 10 وَكَانَ وَادِي السِّدِّيمِ مَلِيئاً بِآبَارِ الزِّفْتِ، فَانْدَحَرَ مَلِكَا سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ وَسَقَطَا بَيْنَهَا، أَمَّا الْبَاقُونَ فَهَرَبُوا إِلَى الْجِبَالِ.

Now the valley of Siddim was full of slime pits. And the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and they fell there. And those who remained fled to the mountain.

١١ 11 فَغَنِمَ الْمُنْتَصِرُونَ جَمِيعَ مَا فِي سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ مِنْ مُمْتَلَكَاتٍ وَمُؤَنٍ وَمَضَوْا.

And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their food, and went their way.

١٢ 12 وَأَسَرُوا لُوطاً ابْنَ أَخِي أَبْرَامَ الْمُقِيمَ فِي سَدُومَ، وَنَهَبُوا أَمْلاكَهُ ثُمَّ ذَهَبُوا.

And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.

١٣ 13 وَجَاءَ أَحَدُ النَّاجِينَ إِلَى أَبْرَامَ الْعِبْرَانِيِّ، الَّذِي كَانَ مُقِيماً حَتَّى ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ عِنْدَ بَلُّوطَاتِ مَمْرَا أَخِي أَشْكُولَ وَعَانِرَ حُلَفَاءِ أَبْرَامَ، وَأَبْلَغَهُ بِمَا جَرَى.

And some man came who had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew. Now he dwelt by the oaks of Mamre, the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner. And these were allies with Abram.

١٤ 14 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ أَبْرَامُ أَنَّ ابْنَ أَخِيهِ قَدْ أُسِرَ، جَرَّدَ ثَلاثَ مِئَةٍ وَثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ مِنْ غِلْمَانِهِ الْمُدَرَّبِينَ الْمَوْلُودِينَ فِي بَيْتِهِ وَتَعَقَّبَهُمْ حَتَّى بَلَغَ دَانَ

And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he led forth his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued as far as Dan.

١٥ 15 وَفِي أَثْنَاءِ اللَّيْلِ قَسَّمَ رِجَالَهُ، وَهَاجَمَهُمْ وَقَهَرَهُمْ، ثُمَّ طَارَدَهُمْ حَتَّى حُوبَةَ شَمَالِيَّ دِمَشْقَ.

And he divided himself against them by night, he and his servants, and smote them, and pursued them to Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.

١٦ 16 وَاسْتَرَدَّ كُلَّ الْغَنَائِمِ، وَاسْتَرْجَعَ ابْنَ أَخِيهِ لُوطاً وَأَمْلاكَهُ، وَالنِّسَاءَ أَيْضاً وَسِوَاهُمْ مِنَ الأَسْرَى.

And he brought back all the goods, and also brought back his brother Lot, and his goods, and also the women, and the people.

١٧ 17 وَجَاءَ مَلِكُ سَدُومَ لِلِقَاءِ أَبْرَامَ فِي وَادِي شَوَى الْمَعْرُوفِ بِوَادِي الْمَلِكِ، بَعْدَ عَوْدَتِهِ مِنْ كَسْرَةِ كَدَرْلَعَوْمَرَ وَالْمُلُوكِ حُلَفَائِهِ.

And the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh (the same is the King's Valley).

١٨ 18 وَكَذَلِكَ حَمَلَ إِلَيْهِ مَلْكِي صَادِقُ مَلِكُ شَالِيمَ، الَّذِي كَانَ كَاهِناً لِلهِ الْعَلِيِّ، خُبْزاً وَخَمْراً،

And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine. And he was priest of God Most High.

١٩ 19 وَبَارَكَهُ قَائِلاً: «لِتَكُنْ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبْرَامُ بَرَكَةُ اللهِ الْعَلِيِّ، مَالِكِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ.

And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth.

٢٠ 20 وَتَبَارَكَ اللهُ الْعَلِيُّ الَّذِي دَفَعَ أَعْدَاءَكَ إِلَى يَدَيْكَ». فَأَعْطَاهُ أَبْرَامُ عُشْرَ الْغَنَائِمِ كُلِّهَا.

And blessed be God Most High, who has delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And Abram gave him a tenth of all.

٢١ 21 وَقَالَ مَلِكُ سَدُومَ لأَبْرَامَ: «أَعْطِنِي الأَسْرَى الْمَعْتُوقِينَ أَمَّا الْغَنَائِمُ فَاحْتَفِظْ بِها لِنَفْسِكَ».

And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the men, and take the goods to thyself.

٢٢ 22 فَأَجَابَهُ أَبْرَامُ: «لَقَدْ أَقْسَمْتُ بِالرَّبِّ الإِلَهِ الْعَلِيِّ، مَالِكِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ،

And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lifted up my hand to Jehovah, God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth,

٢٣ 23 وَعَاهَدْتُهُ أَلّا آخُذَ شَيْئاً مِمَّا هُوَ لَكَ، وَلَوْ كَانَ خَيْطاً أَوْ شَرِيطَ حِذَاءٍ، لِئَلّا تَقُولَ: أَنَا أَغْنَيْتُ أَبْرَامَ

that I will not take a thread nor a shoe latchet nor anything that is thine, lest thou should say, I have made Abram rich,

٢٤ 24 لَنْ آخُذَ غَيْرَ مَا أَكَلَهُ الْغِلْمَانُ. أَمَّا نَصِيبُ الرِّجَالِ الَّذِينَ ذَهَبُوا مَعِي: عَانِرَ وَأَشْكُولَ وَمَمْرَا، فَإِنَّهُمْ يَأْخُذُونَهُ».

except only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. Let them take their portion.
