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 (which is Zoar).

All these came together in the valley of Siddim (which 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 were under the rule of Chedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year they put off his control.

And in the fourteenth year, Chedorlaomer and the kings who were on his side, overcame the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim 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 their mountain Seir, driving them as far as El-paran, which is near the waste land.

Then they came back to En-mishpat (which is Kadesh), making waste all the country of the Amalekites and of the Amorites living 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,

And the king of Sodom with the king of Gomorrah and the king of Admah and the king of Zeboiim and the king of Bela (that is Zoar), went out, and put their forces in position 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, and Tidal, king of Goiim, and Amraphel, king of Shinar, and Arioch, king of Ellasar: four kings against the 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 holes of sticky earth; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah were put to flight and came to their end there, but the rest got away to the mountain.

11 Misatuk pazawk siangpahrangnawk mah Sodom hoi Gomorrah vangpui ih hmuennawk hoi caaknaeknawk to lak pae o boih pacoengah caeh o taak.

And the four kings took all the goods and food from Sodom and Gomorrah and went on their way.

12 Sodom vangpui ah kaom Abram amya ih capa, Lot hoi anih ih hmuennawk doeh lak pae o boih.

And in addition they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who was living in Sodom, and all his goods.

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.

And one who had got away from the fight came and gave word of it to Abram the Hebrew, who was living by the holy tree of Mamre, the Amorite, the brother of Eshcol and Aner, who were friends of 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 Abram, hearing that his brother's son had been made a prisoner, took a band of his trained men, three hundred and eighteen of them, sons of his house, and went after them 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.

And separating his forces by night, he overcame them, putting them to flight and going after them as far as Hobah, which is on the north side 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.

And he got back all the goods, and Lot, his brother's son, with his goods and the women and the people.

And when he was coming back after putting to flight Chedorlaomer and the other kings, he had a meeting with the king of Sodom 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.

And Melchizedek, king of Salem, the priest of the Most High God, took bread and wine,

19 Anih mah Abram tahamhoihaih paek moe, Sang koek Sithaw, van hoi long sahkung mah, Abram tahamhoihaih paek nasoe.

And blessing him, said, May the blessing of the Most High God, maker of heaven and earth, be on Abram:

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 let the Most High God be praised, who has given into your hands those who were against you. Then Abram gave him a tenth of all the goods he had taken.

21 Sodom siangpahrang mah Abram khaeah, Kaminawk to kai han na paek ah, hmuennawk loe nangmah hanah la ah, tiah a naa.

And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the prisoners and 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 said to the king of Sodom, I have taken an oath to the Lord, the Most High God, maker 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 take so much as a thread or the cord of a shoe of yours; so that you may not say, I have given wealth to Abram:

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.

Give me nothing but the food which the fighting-men who went with me have had; but let Aner and Eshcol and Mamre have their part of the goods.
