創世記 14
1 那時史納爾王阿默辣斐耳，厄拉撒爾王阿黎約客，厄蘭王革多爾老默爾，哥因王提達耳，
At that time Amraphel was king of Shinar, and he allied himself with Arioch, king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of Goiim.
2 興兵攻擊索多瑪王貝辣，哈摩辣王彼爾沙，阿德瑪王史納布，責波殷王舍默貝爾及貝拉即左哈爾王。
They attacked Bera, king of Sodom, Birsha, king of Gomorrah, Shinab, king of Admah, Shemeber, king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (otherwise known as Zoar).
3 那些王子會合於息丁山谷，即今日的鹽海。
All these in the second group joined forces in the Valley of Siddim (the Dead Sea valley).
4 他們十二年之久隸屬於革多爾老默爾，在十三年上就背叛了。
They had been under the rule of Chedorlaomer for twelve years, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled against him.
5 在十四年上，革多爾老默爾率領與他聯盟的君王前來，在阿市塔特卡爾那殷擊敗了勒法因，在哈木擊敗了組斤，在克黎雅塔殷平原擊敗了厄明，
In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer invaded, along with the kings in his alliance. They defeated the Rephaites in Ashteroth-karnaim, the Zuzites in Ham, the Emites in Shaveh-kiriathaim,
6 在曷黎人的色依爾山擊敗了曷黎人，一直殺到靠近曠野的厄耳帕蘭；
and the Horites in their hill country of Seir, all the way to El-paran, near the desert.
7 然後回軍轉到恩米市帕特，即卡德士，征服了阿瑪肋克人的全部領土，也征服了住在哈匝宗塔瑪爾的阿摩黎人。
Then they swung back through and attacked En-mishpat (otherwise known as Kadesh) and conquered the whole country belonging to the Amalekites, as well as the Amorites who lived in Hazazon-tamar.
8 索多瑪王哈摩辣王，阿德瑪王，責波殷王和貝拉即左哈爾王於是出來，在息丁山谷列陣，
Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (otherwise known as Zoar) marched out and prepared for battle in the Valley of Siddim.
9 與厄蘭王革多爾老默爾，哥因王提達耳，史納爾王阿漠辣斐耳和厄拉撒爾王阿黎約客交戰：四個王子敵對五個王子。
They fought Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, Tidal, king of Goiim, Amraphel, king of Shinar, and Arioch, king of Ellasar—four kings on one side against five on the other.
10 息丁山谷遍地是瀝青坑；索多瑪王和哈摩辣王逃跑時都跌在坑裏；其餘的人都逃到山裏去了。
There were many tar pits in the Valley of Siddim, and as the defeated kings of Sodom and Gomorrah ran away, some of their men fell into them while the rest ran to the hills.
11 那四個王子劫走了索多瑪和哈摩辣所有的財物和一切食糧，
The invaders took from Sodom and Gomorrah all their possessions and food and left.
12 連亞巴郎兄弟的兒子羅特和他的財物也帶走了，因為那時他正住在索多瑪。
They also captured Lot, Abram's nephew, and his possessions, because he was living in Sodom.
13 有個逃出的人跑來，將這事告訴了希伯來人亞巴郎，他那時住在阿摩黎人瑪默勒的橡樹區；這阿摩黎人原是亞巴郎的盟友厄市苛耳和阿乃爾的兄弟。
But one of those captured escaped and went and told Abram the Hebrew what had happened. Abram was living by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, whose brothers were Eshcol and Aner. All of them were Abram's allies.
14 亞巴郎一聽說他的親人被人擄去，遂率領家生的步兵三百一十八人，直追至丹。
When Abram found out that his nephew had been captured, he called together 318 fighting men who had been born in his household and chased after them all the way to Dan.
15 夜間又和自己的僕人分隊襲擊，將他們擊敗，直追至大馬士革以北的曷巴，
There he divided his men into groups and attacked at night, defeating the enemy and chasing them as far as Hobah, north of Damascus.
16 奪回了所有的財物，連他的親屬羅特和他的財物，以及婦女和人民都奪回來了。
Abram recovered all that had been taken, including Lot and his possessions, and also brought back the women and others who had been captured.
17 亞巴郎擊敗革多老默爾和與他聯盟的王子回來時，索多瑪王出來，到沙委山谷，即「君王山谷」迎接他。
When Abram returned after defeating Chedorlaomer and his allies, the king of Sodom came out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (or Valley of the King).
18 撒冷王默基瑟德也帶了餅酒來，他是至高者天主的司祭，
Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought out bread and wine. He was a priest of the Most High God.
19 祝福他說：「願亞巴郎蒙受天地的主宰，至高者天主的祝福!
He blessed Abram, telling him, “May Abram be blessed by the Most High God, Creator of heaven and earth.
20 願將你的敵人交於你手中的至高者的天主受讚美! 」亞巴郎遂將所得的，拿出十分之一，給了默基瑟德。
May the Most High God be praised, who handed your enemies over to you.” Then Abram gave Melchizedek one tenth of everything.
21 索多瑪王對亞巴郎說：「請你將人交給我，財物你都拿去罷! 」
The king of Sodom told Abram, “Let me have the people back, and you can keep everything else for yourself.”
22 亞巴郎卻對索多瑪王說：「我向上主、至高者天主、天地的主宰舉手起誓：
But Abram replied to the king of Sodom, “I raise my hand, making a solemn promise to the Lord, the Most High God, Creator of heaven and earth,
23 凡屬於你的，連一根線，一根鞋帶，我也不拿，免得你說：我使亞巴郎發了財。
that I refuse to take anything belonging to you, not a single thread or a sandal strap. Otherwise you might claim, ‘It was me who made Abram rich!’
24 除僕從吃用了的以外，我什麼也不要；至於與我同行的人阿乃爾、厄市苛耳和瑪默勒所應得的一分，應讓他們拿去。」
I won't take anything except what my men have eaten, and the share for those who accompanied me—Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. Let them have their share.”
