< 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,
And it cometh to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goyim,
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 have made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboim, and the king of Bela, which [is] Zoar.
3 那些王子會合於息丁山谷,即今日的鹽海。
All these have been joined together unto the valley of Siddim, which [is] the Salt Sea;
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。
twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and the thirteenth year they rebelled.
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,
And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings who [are] with him, and they smite the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim 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 mount Seir, unto El-Paran, which [is] by the wilderness;
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。
and they turn back and come in unto En-Mishpat, which [is] Kadesh, and smite the whole field of the Amalekite, and also the Amorite who is dwelling in Hazezon-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,
And the king of Sodom goeth out, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboim, and the king of Bela, which [is] Zoar; and they set the battle in array with them 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。
with Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goyim, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with the five.
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。
And the valley of Siddim [is] full of bitumen-pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah flee, and fall there, and those left have fled to the mountain.
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,
And they take the whole substance of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the whole of their food, and go away;
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。
and they take Lot, Abram's brother's son (seeing he is dwelling in Sodom), and his substance, and go away.
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。
And one who is escaping cometh and declareth to Abram the Hebrew, and he is dwelling among the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner, and they [are] 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。
And Abram heareth that his brother hath been taken captive, and he draweth out his trained domestics, three hundred and eighteen, and pursueth unto 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,
And he divideth himself against them by night, he and his servants, and smiteth them, and pursueth them unto Hobah, which [is] at the left 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。
and he bringeth back the whole of the substance, and also Lot his brother and his substance hath he brought back, and also the women and the people.
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。
And the king of Sodom goeth out to meet him (after his turning back from the smiting of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings who [are] with him), unto the valley of Shaveh, which [is] the king's valley.
18 撒冷王默基瑟德也帶了餅酒來,他是至高者天主的司祭,
And Melchizedek king of Salem hath brought out bread and wine, and he [is] priest of God Most High;
19 祝福他說:「願亞巴郎蒙受天地的主宰,至高者天主的祝福!
and he blesseth him, and saith, 'Blessed [is] Abram to God Most High, possessing 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。
and blessed [is] God Most High, who hath delivered thine adversaries into thy hand;' and he giveth to him a tenth of all.
21 索多瑪王對亞巴郎說:「請你將人交給我,財物你都拿去罷! 」
And the king of Sodom saith unto Abram, 'Give to me the persons, and the substance take to thyself,'
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:
and Abram saith unto the king of Sodom, 'I have lifted up my hand unto Jehovah, God Most High, possessing 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。
from a thread even unto a shoe-latchet I take not of anything which thou hast, that thou say not, I — I have 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。」
save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who have gone with me — Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre — they take their portion.'
