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.

Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine—since he was priest of God Most High —
19 Hahoi, Abram yawhawinae a poe teh, kalvan hoi talai katawnkung ka rasang poung e Abram Cathut teh yawhawinae awm seh.
and he blessed Abram and said: “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth,

and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand.” Then Abram gave Melchizedek a tenth of everything.

The king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people, but take the goods for yourself.”

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 telah kalvan hoi talai katawnkung Jehovah, ka rasang poung e Cathut koe ka kut ka dâw toe. Telah hoehpawiteh Abram teh kai ni ka bawi sak e doeh na tet payon vaih.

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.”
