In those days Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim

3 To siangpahrangnawk boih loe Siddim paloi tuili azawn ah atai o.
The latter five came as allies to the Valley of Siddim (that is, the Salt Sea ).
4 Nihcae loe saning hatlai hnetto thung Kedorlaomer ban thungah oh o, toe saning hatlai thumto naah loe, misa angthawk o.
For twelve years they had been subject to Chedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
5 Saning hatlai palito naah, Kedorlaomer siangpahrang loe anih angdoe haih siangpahrangnawk hoi nawnto angzoh o moe, Ashteroth Karnaim ah kaom Rephaim kaminawk, Ham ah kaom Zuzim kaminawk, Shaveh Kiriathaim ah kaom Emim kaminawk,
In the fourteenth year, Chedorlaomer and the kings allied with him went out and defeated the Rephaites in Ashteroth-karnaim, the Zuzites in Ham, the Emites in Shaveh-kiriathaim,
6 Seir mae ah kaom Hor kaminawk to tuk o moe, praezaek taengah kaom El-Paran vangpui khoek to patom o.
and the Horites in the area of Mount Seir, as far as El-paran, which is near the desert.
7 To pacoengah amlaem o moe, En-Mishpat (Kadesh) ah caeh o; Amalek prae pum hoi Hazezon-Tamar prae ah kaom, Amor kaminawk doeh tuk pazawk o.
Then they turned back to invade En-mishpat (that is, Kadesh), and they conquered the whole territory of the Amalekites, as well as the Amorites who lived in Hazazon-tamar.
8 To naah Sodom siangpahrang, Gomorrah siangpahrang, Admah siangpahrang, Zeboiim siangpahrang hoi Bela (Zoar) siangpahrang mah misatuk hanah Siddim azawn ah caeh haih moe,
Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar) marched out and arrayed themselves for battle in the Valley of Siddim
9 Elam siangpahrang Kedorlaomer, Goiim siangpahrang Tidal, Shinar siangpahrang Amraphel hoi Ellasar siangpahrang Ariok, siangpahrang palito hoiah siangpahrang pangatonawk misa angtuk o.
against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, Tidal king of Goiim, Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar—four kings against five.
10 Siddim azawn loe tangnong cing ah oh; Sodom hoi Gomorrah ih siangpahrang hnik loe cawnh hoi ving, toe to ih tangnong thungah krak hoi hmaek; kanghmat kaminawk loe mae nuiah cawnh o.
Now the Valley of Siddim was full of tar pits, and as the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, some men fell into the pits, but the survivors fled to the hill country.
11 Misatuk pazawk siangpahrangnawk mah Sodom hoi Gomorrah vangpui ih hmuennawk hoi caaknaeknawk to lak pae o boih pacoengah caeh o taak.
The four kings seized all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their food, and they went on their way.
12 Sodom vangpui ah kaom Abram amya ih capa, Lot hoi anih ih hmuennawk doeh lak pae o boih.
They also carried off Abram’s nephew Lot and his possessions, since Lot was living in Sodom.
13 Misa angtukhaih thung hoi loih kami maeto mah to kawng to Hebru kami, Abram khaeah thuih pae; to naah Abram loe Eshkol hoi Aner amnawk, Amor kami Mamre ih azawn taengah oh; to ah kaom kaminawk loe Abram hoi ampui ah oh o.
Then an escapee came and reported this to Abram the Hebrew. Now Abram was living near the Oaks of Mamre the Amorite, a brother of Eshcol and Aner, all of whom were bound by treaty to Abram.
14 Misanawk mah amya ih caanawk naeh o boih boeh, tiah Abram mah thaih naah, angmah im ah tapen kami, angmah patuk ih kami cumvai thum, hatlai tazetto hoiah nihcae to Dan vangpui karoek to patom o.
And when Abram heard that his relative had been captured, he mobilized the 318 trained men born in his household, and they set out in pursuit as far as Dan.
15 Angmah ih kaminawk to tapraek moe, to kaminawk to khoving ah tuksak pacoengah, Damaska vangpui aluek bangah kaom Hobah vangpui khoek to patom o.
During the night, Abram divided his forces and routed Chedorlaomer’s army, pursuing them as far as Hobah, north of Damascus.
16 Hmuennawk to lomh pae o let moe, amya capa, Lot hoi anih ih hmuennawk, nongpatanawk hoi kaminawk to hoih pae o boih let.
He retrieved all the goods, as well as his relative Lot and his possessions, together with the women and the rest of the people.

After Abram returned from defeating Chedorlaomer and the kings allied with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley).
18 To naah Salem siangpahrang Melkhizedik mah takaw hoi misurtui to sinh; anih loe Sang koek Sithaw ih qaima ah oh.
Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine—since he was priest of God Most High —
19 Anih mah Abram tahamhoihaih paek moe, Sang koek Sithaw, van hoi long sahkung mah, Abram tahamhoihaih paek nasoe.
and he blessed Abram and said: “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth,
20 Na misanawk na ban ah paekkung, Sang koek Sithaw loe, tahamhoihaih om nasoe, tiah a naa. To naah Abram mah a tawnh ih hmuen boih thung hoiah hato thungah maeto anih khaeah paek.
and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand.” Then Abram gave Melchizedek a tenth of everything.
21 Sodom siangpahrang mah Abram khaeah, Kaminawk to kai han na paek ah, hmuennawk loe nangmah hanah la ah, tiah a naa.
The king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people, but take the goods for yourself.”
22 Toe Abram mah Sodom siangpahrang khaeah, Sang koek Sithaw, van hoi long sahkung, Angraeng khaeah ban payangh moe, lokkamhaih ka sak boeh pongah,
But Abram replied to the king of Sodom, “I have raised my hand to the LORD God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth,
23 nang ih hmuen tih ta doeh ka la mak ai, khopanai bum aqui hoi tlangqui tetta mataeng doeh ka la mak ai; to tih ai nahaeloe Abram loe kaimah ni kang raengsak, tiah na thui moeng tih;
that I will not accept even a thread, or a strap of a sandal, or anything that belongs to you, lest you should say, ‘I have made Abram rich.’
24 kai ih kaminawk mah patoh o moe, a caak o ih hmuen khue to ka lak han; kai bomkung Aner, Eshkol hoi Mamre cae loe angmacae hnuk han koi taham to la o nasoe, tiah a naa.
I will accept nothing but what my men have eaten and the share for the men who went with me—Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. They may take their portion.”
