1 Te vaeng tue kah aka om Shinar manghai Amraphel, Ellasar manghai Ariyawk, Elam manghai Kedorlaomer neh Goiim manghai Tidal loh;

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 Sodom manghai Bera, Gomorrah manghai Birsha, Admah manghai Shinab, Zeboiim manghai Shemeber neh Zoar manghai Bela taengah caemtloeknah a saii uh.

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 Te rhoek boeih te Lungkaeh tuitunli kah Siddim kol ah cingcui uh.

All these came together in the wooded valley, which is now the Sea of Salt.

4 Kedorlaomer taengah kum hlai nit thotat uh dae kum a hlai thum vaengah a tloelh uh coeng.

For they had served Chedorlaomer for twelve years, and in the thirteenth year they withdrew from him.

5 Kum hlai li vaengah Kedorlaomer khaw amah taengkah manghai rhoek neh cet tih Ashterothkarnaim kah Rephaim neh Ham kah Zuzim khaw, Shaveh Kiriathaim kah Emim khaw,

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 Seir tlang kah Khori neh khosoek taengkah Elparan duela a tloek.

and the Chorreans in the mountains of Seir, even to the plains of Paran, which is in the wilderness.

7 Te phoeiah bal uh tih Kadesh kah Enmishpat te a paan uh vaengah Amalek khohmuen boeih neh Hazezontamar ah kho aka sa Amori te khaw a tloek uh.

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 Te phoeiah Sodom manghai khaw, Gomorrah manghai khaw, Admah manghai khaw, Zeboiim kah manghai Zeboiin khaw, Zoar manghai Bela khaw, amih neh aka thoo hmaih Siddim kol kah caemtloeknah te khaw,

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 Elam manghai Kedorlaomer khaw, Goiim manghai Tidal khaw, Shinar manghai Amraphel khaw, Ellasar manghai Aryawk khaw manghai rhoek pali panga te a muk.

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 Te vaengah Sodom neh Gomorrah manghai te rhaelrham uh dae Siddim kol kah aka om tuito, lungpaat tuito ah cungku rhoi tih aka sueng rhoek te tlang la rhaelrham uh.

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 Te dongah Sodom neh Gomorrah kah khuehtawn boeih khaw cakok boeih a loh uh tih cet uh.

Then they took all the substance of the Sodomites and the Gomorrhites, and all that pertained to food, and they went away,

12 Te vaengah Abram maya capa Lot khaw Sodom ah kho a sak van dongah amah neh a khuehtawn te rhen a khuen uh tih a caeh puei uh.

along with both Lot, the son of Abram’s brother, who lived in Sodom, and his substance.

13 Te vaengah hlangyong te Mamre thingnu rhoek taengah aka cu Amori hoel Eshkol neh Aner kah a manuca tah halo tih Hebrew hoel Abram taengah puen. Amih te Abram kah a tai kung ni.

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 A manuca a sol pah te Abram loh a yaak van neh amah kah a hlangphaep neh a im kah a cahlah ya thum neh hlai rhet te a hui tih Dan duela a hloem.

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 Tedae khoyin ah amah loh a sal rhoek te hloephloep a tael tih caem a tloek. Te phoeiah amih te Damasku kah banvoei ben Hobah duela a hloem.

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 Te dongah khuehtawn boeih neh a manuca Lot khaw a lat tih anih kah khuehtawn khaw huta rhoek khaw pilnam khaw ham bal puei bal.

And he brought back all the substance, and Lot his brother, with his substance, likewise the women and the people.

17 Te vaengah Kedorlaomer neh anih taengkah manghai rhoek te a tloek phoei lamkah Abram a bal vaengah anih aka doe ham Sodom manghai loh Shaveh kol manghai tuikol la cet.

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 Te vaengah Pathen Pathen taengkah khosoih, Salem manghai Melkhizedek loh vaidam neh misurtui a khuen.

Then in truth, Melchizedek, the king of Salem, brought forth bread and wine, for he was a priest of the Most High God;

19 Te phoeiah Abram te yoethen a paek tih, “Vaan neh diklai aka men Pathen Pathen loh Abram yoe a then sak.

he blessed him, and he said: “Blessed be Abram by the Most High God, who created heaven and earth.

20 Na rhal rhoek te nang kut ah aka tloeng Pathen Pathen khaw a yoethen pai,” a ti nah. Te dongah Abram loh a cungkuem khui lamkah parha pakhat te anih taengla a paek.

And blessed be the Most High God, through whose protection the enemies are in your hands.” And he gave him tithes from everything.

21 Tedae Sodom manghai long tah Abram taengah, “Hinglu te kai ham khueh lamtah khuehtawn te namah ham khuen,” a ti nah.

Then the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me these souls, and take the rest for yourself.”

22 Te dongah Abram loh Sodom manghai taengah, “Vaan neh diklai aka men Khohni Pathen Yahweh taengah ka kut ka phuel coeng.

And he responded to him: “I lift up my hand to the Lord God, the Most High, the Possessor of heaven and earth,

23 Nang taengkah boeih tah rhuihet neh khokhom rhui pataeng ka doe mahpawh. Te daengah ni, 'Kai loh Abram ka boei sak,’ na ti pawt eh.

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 Kai te rhaemaih. Tedae camoe rhoek kah a caak neh Aner Eshkol neh Mamre ah kamah taengla aka lo hlang rhoek kah hamsum te tah amamih kah hamsum la lo uh saeh,” a ti nah.

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.”
