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.

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.

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].

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.

They also defeated the Hor people-group in the hilly area of Seir as far as El-Paran near the desert.

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].

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.

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.

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.
11 Soge hina bagade biyaduyale ilia da Sodame amola Goumola, ilia liligi amola ilia ha: i manu huluane lale, gaguli asi dagoi.
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.
12 Lode da Sodame moilaiga esalu. Amo gegesu dunu da Lode amola ea liligi huluane gagulaligili asi.
They also captured Abram’s nephew Lot and his possessions, since he was living in Sodom at that time.
13 Dunu afae ilia afugili asi amo da hobea: i, e da A: ibala: me (Hibulu hina bagade) ema amo hou adole i. A: ibala: me da Ma: malei (A: moulaide dunu) amo ea sema ifa soge ganodini esalu. Ma: malei eya da Esagole amola A: ine. Ilia da gilisili A: ibala: me amola lalu.
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].
14 A: ibala: me da ea fi dunu Lode amo ilia afugili lai nababeba: le, e da dunu 318 amo da ea fi ganodini lalelegei, amo lale amola hina bagade dunu biyaduyale galu ilima fa: no bobogele, Da: ne sogega doaga: i.
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].
15 Gasi ganodini, A:ibala: me da ea fi dunu afafane, gegene, amo dunu sefasilalu, Houba moilai [Dama: sagase moilai bai bagadega gagoe (north) dialu] amoga fawane fisi.
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].
16 E da liligi wamolai huluane bu lai. E da ea fi dunu Lode, ea liligi, uda huluane amola eno dunu huluane bu oule misi.
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.
17 A: ibala: me da Gedola: ioume amola ea fidisu hina bagade dunu huluane fane lelegelalu, buhagimusa: logoga ahoanoba, Sodame hina bagade dunu da A: ibala: me gousa: musa: , Sia: ife umi (eno dio da ‘hina bagade ilia umi’) amoga misi.
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.
18 Amalalu, Sa: ileme moilai bai bagade (amo ea dio da wali Yelusaleme) amo ea hina bagade dunu ea dio amo Melegisidege da agi amola waini gaguli misi. Melegisidege da Gode Gadodafa amo Ea gobele salasu dunu esalu.
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.
19 Melegisidege da Gode da A: ibala: me hahawane dogolegele ima: ne amane sia: i, “Gode Gadodafa Hebene amola osobo bagade Hahamosu amo da A: ibala: me hahawane dogolegele ilegesu imunu da defea.
Then he blessed Abram, saying “I ask the Supreme God, the one who created heaven and earth, to bless you.
20 Amola Gode Gadodafa da dima ha lai amo di osa: le heda: ma: ne dima i dagoiba: le, Ema hahawane nodomu da defea.” Amalalu, A:ibala: me da Melegisidegema ‘daide’ (ea gegene lai liligi 10 agoane momogili afadafa) i dagoi.
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 Sodame hina bagade dunu da A: ibala: mema amane sia: i, “Na da na fi dunu amola uda bu lamu. Be di liligi huluane disu lama.”
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.”
22 Be A: ibala: me da Sodame hina bagade ema bu adole i, “Na da Hina Gode Gadodafa, osobo bagade Hahamosu Ema dafawanedafa ilegele sia: sa.
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,
23 Na da dia liligi hamedafa lamu. Liligi fonobahadi afae, nodomesu efe o emo salasu ea la: gisu, na da hame lamu. Di da fa: no, ‘Na iabeba: le, A:ibala: me da bagade gagui.’ Di da amo sia: sa: besa: le na da hame lamu.
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.’
24 Be na fi dunu ilia ha: i manu mai amola eno fi amo da na sigi asi - amo A: ine fi, Esagole fi amola Ma: malei fi dunu - ilia fawane da ilia bidi defele lamu da defea.”
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].
