创世记 14
1 当暗拉非作示拿王，亚略作以拉撒王，基大老玛作以拦王，提达作戈印王的时候，
In the days of Amraphel, king of Shinar, Arioch, king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of Goiim,
2 他们都攻打所多玛王比拉、蛾摩拉王比沙、押玛王示纳、洗扁王善以别，和比拉王；比拉就是琐珥。
they made war with Bera, king of Sodom [Burning], and with Birsha, king of Gomorrah [Rebellious people, Tyrants], Shinab, king of Admah, and Shemeber, king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (also called Zoar [Small]).
3 这五王都在西订谷会合；西订谷就是盐海。
All these joined together in the valley of Siddim (also called the Salt Sea).
4 他们已经事奉基大老玛十二年，到十三年就背叛了。
They served Chedorlaomer for twelve years, and in the thirteenth year, they rebelled.
5 十四年，基大老玛和同盟的王都来在亚特律·加宁，杀败了利乏音人，在哈麦杀败了苏西人，在沙微·基列亭杀败了以米人，
In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer came, and the kings who were with him, and struck the Rephaim [Descendants of Terrible one] in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham [Hot, Intensity, Passion], and the Emim in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
6 在何利人的西珥山杀败了何利人，一直杀到靠近旷野的伊勒·巴兰。
and the Horites in their Mount Seir, to El Paran, which is by the wilderness.
7 他们回到安·密巴，就是加低斯，杀败了亚玛力全地的人，以及住在哈洗逊·他玛的亚摩利人。
They returned, and came to En Mishpat (also called Kadesh), and struck all the country of the Amalekites [Descendants of Man who licks up], and also the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers], that lived in Hazazon Tamar [Palm tree].
8 于是所多玛王、蛾摩拉王、押玛王、洗扁王，和比拉王（比拉就是琐珥）都出来，在西订谷摆阵，与他们交战，
The king of Sodom [Burning], and the king of Gomorrah [Rebellious people, Tyrants], and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (also called Zoar [Small]) went out; and they set the battle in array against them in the valley of Siddim;
9 就是与以拦王基大老玛、戈印王提达、示拿王暗拉非、以拉撒王亚略交战；乃是四王与五王交战。
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 西订谷有许多石漆坑。所多玛王和蛾摩拉王逃跑，有掉在坑里的，其余的人都往山上逃跑。
Now the valley of Siddim was full of tar pits; and the kings of Sodom [Burning] and Gomorrah [Rebellious people, Tyrants] fled, and some fell there, and those who remained fled to the hills.
11 四王就把所多玛和蛾摩拉所有的财物，并一切的粮食都掳掠去了；
They took all the goods of Sodom [Burning] and Gomorrah [Rebellious people, Tyrants], and all their food, and went their way.
12 又把亚伯兰的侄儿罗得和罗得的财物掳掠去了。当时罗得正住在所多玛。
They took Lot [Veil, Covering], Avram [Exalted father]’s brother’s son, who lived in Sodom [Burning], and his goods, and departed.
13 有一个逃出来的人告诉希伯来人亚伯兰；亚伯兰正住在亚摩利人幔利的橡树那里。幔利和以实各并亚乃都是弟兄，曾与亚伯兰联盟。
One who had escaped came and told Avram [Exalted father], the Hebrew [Immigrant]. At that time, he lived by the oaks of Mamre [Bitter, Fatness], the Amorite [Descendants of Talkers], brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner; and they were allies of Avram [Exalted father].
14 亚伯兰听见他侄儿被掳去，就率领他家里生养的精练壮丁三百一十八人，直追到但，
When Avram [Exalted father] sh'ma ·heard obeyed· that his relative was taken captive, he led out his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued as far as Dan [He judged].
15 便在夜间，自己同仆人分队杀败敌人，又追到大马士革左边的何把，
He divided himself against them by night, he and his servants, and struck them, and pursued them to Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus [Bucket of blood].
16 将被掳掠的一切财物夺回来，连他侄儿罗得和他的财物，以及妇女、人民也都夺回来。
He brought back all the goods, and also brought back his relative, Lot [Veil, Covering], and his goods, and the women also, and the other people.
17 亚伯兰杀败基大老玛和与他同盟的王回来的时候，所多玛王出来，在沙微谷迎接他；沙微谷就是王谷。
The king of Sodom [Burning] went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, at the valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley).
18 又有撒冷王麦基洗德带着饼和酒出来迎接；他是至高 神的祭司。
Malki-Tzedek king of Shalem [My king Righteousness king of City peace] brought out bread and wine. He was a priest of El 'Elyon [God Most High],
19 他为亚伯兰祝福，说：“愿天地的主、至高的 神赐福与亚伯兰！
so he blessed him saying, “Blessed be Avram [Exalted father] of El 'Elyon [God Most High], possessor of heaven and earth:
20 至高的 神把敌人交在你手里，是应当称颂的！”亚伯兰就把所得的拿出十分之一来，给麦基洗德。
and blessed be El 'Elyon [God Most High], who has delivered your enemies into your hand.” Avram [Exalted father] gave him a tenth of all.
21 所多玛王对亚伯兰说：“你把人口给我，财物你自己拿去吧！”
The king of Sodom [Burning] said to Avram [Exalted father], “Give me the people, and take the goods for yourself.”
22 亚伯兰对所多玛王说：“我已经向天地的主—至高的 神耶和华起誓：
Avram [Exalted father] said to the king of Sodom [Burning], “I have lifted up my hand to Adonai, El 'Elyon [Yahweh, God Most High], possessor of heaven and earth,
23 凡是你的东西，就是一根线、一根鞋带，我都不拿，免得你说：‘我使亚伯兰富足！’
that I will not take a thread nor a sandal strap nor anything that is yours, lest you should say, ‘I have made Avram [Exalted father] rich.’
24 只有仆人所吃的，并与我同行的亚乃、以实各、幔利所应得的分，可以任凭他们拿去。”
I will accept nothing from you except that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre [Bitter, Fatness]. Let them take their portion.”
