Postanak 14
1 Kad Amrafel bijaše kralj Šineara, Ariok kralj Elasara, Kedor-Laomer kralj Elama, Tidal kralj Gojima,
It came about in the days of Amraphel, king of Shinar, Arioch, king of Ellasar, Kedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of Goiim,
2 povedoše oni rat protiv Bere, kralja Sodome, Birše, kralja Gomore, Šinaba, kralja Adme, Šemebera, kralja Sebojima, i protiv kralja u Beli, to jest Soaru.
that they made war against Bera, king of Sodom, Birsha, king of Gomorrah, Shinab, king of Admah, Shemeber, king of Zeboyim, and the king of Bela (also called Zoar).
3 I vojske se sliju u dolinu Sidim, gdje je danas Slano more.
These latter five kings joined together in the Valley of Siddim (also called the Salt Sea).
4 Dvanaest su godina služili Kedor-Laomera, ali trinaeste godine dignu se na ustanak.
Twelve years they had served Kedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
5 U četrnaestoj godini digne se Kedor-Laomer i kraljevi koji su bili s njim te potuku Refaimce u Ašterot Karnajimu, Zuzijce u Hamu, Emijce na ravnici Kirjatajimu,
Then in the fourteenth year, Kedorlaomer and the kings who were with him came and attacked the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, the Zuzites in Ham, the Emites in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
6 Horijce u brdskom kraju Seiru, blizu El Parana, koji je uz pustinju.
and the Horites in their hill country of Seir, as far as El Paran, which is near the desert.
7 Onda se povuku natrag i stignu u En Mišpat, to jest Kadeš, i pokore sve krajeve Amalečana i Amorejaca, koji su nastavali Haseson Tamar.
Then they turned and came to En Mishpat (also called Kadesh), and defeated all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites who lived in Hazezon Tamar.
8 Zatim istupi kralj Sodome, kralj Gomore, kralj Adme, kralj Sebojima i kralj Bele, odnosno Soara, te zapodjenu borbu protiv onih u dolini Sidimu:
Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboyim, and the king of Bela (also called Zoar) went out and prepared for battle in the Valley of Siddim
9 Kedor-Laomera, kralja Elama, Tidala, kralja Gojima, Amrafela, kralja Šineara, Arioka, kralja Elasara - četiri kralja protiv pet.
against Kedorlaomer, king of Elam, Tidal, king of Goiim, Amraphel, king of Shinar, Arioch, king of Ellasar; four kings against the five.
10 Dolina Sidim bila je puna provalija s paklinom, pa kraljevi Sodome i Gomore, na bijegu, u njih poskaču, a ostali izmaknu u planine.
Now the Valley of Siddim was full of tar pits, and as the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, they fell in there. Those who were left fled to the mountains.
11 Pobjednici pokupe sve blago po Sodomi i Gomori i svu hranu pa odu.
So the kings took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their provisions, and went their way.
12 Pograbe i Lota, Abramova bratića - i on je živio u Sodomi - i njegovo blago pa otiđu.
When they went, they also took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who was living in Sodom, along with all his possessions.
13 A bjegunac neki - rođak Eškola i Anera, Abramovih saveznika - donese vijest Abramu Hebrejcu dok je boravio kod hrasta Amorejske Mamre.
One who had escaped came and told Abram the Hebrew. He was living by the oaks that belonged to Mamre, the Amorite, who was the brother of Eshkol and Aner, who were all allies of Abram.
14 Kad je Abram čuo da mu je bratić zarobljen, skupi svoju momčad - rođenu u njegovu domu - njih trista osamnaest, pa pođe u potjeru do Dana.
Now when Abram heard that enemies had captured his relative, he led out his 318 trained men who had been born in his house, and he pursued them as far as Dan.
15 Podijeli svoje momke u dvije čete, napadne noću te one potuče. Progonio ih je do Hobe, sjeverno od Damaska.
He divided his men against them at night and attacked them, and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is north of Damascus.
16 Povrati sve blago, svoga bratića Lota i njegovo blago, žene i ostali svijet.
Then he brought back all the possessions, and also brought back his relative Lot and his goods, as well as the women and the other people.
17 Pošto se vratio, porazivši Kedor-Laomera i kraljeve koji su bili s njim, u susret mu, u dolinu Šave, to jest u Kraljev dol, iziđe kralj Sodome.
After Abram returned from defeating Kedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (also called the King's Valley).
18 A Melkisedek, kralj Šalema, iznese kruha i vina. On je bio svećenik Boga Svevišnjega.
Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High.
19 Blagoslovi ga govoreći: “Od Boga Svevišnjega, Stvoritelja neba i zemlje, neka je Abramu blagoslov!
He blessed him saying, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth.
20 I Svevišnji Bog, što ti u ruke preda neprijatelje, hvaljen bio!” Abram mu dade desetinu od svega.
Blessed be God Most High, who has given your enemies into your hand.” Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.
21 Tada kralj Sodome reče Abramu: “Meni daj ljude, a dobra uzmi sebi!”
The king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people, and take the goods for yourself.”
22 Abram odgovori kralju Sodome: “Ruku uzdižem pred Jahvom, Svevišnjim Stvoriteljem neba i zemlje,
Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have lifted up my hand to Yahweh, God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth,
23 da neću uzeti ni končića, ni remena od obuće, niti išta što je tvoje da ne kažeš: na meni se Abram obogatio.
that I will not take a thread, a sandal strap, or anything that is yours, so that you can never say, 'I have made Abram rich.'
24 Ne, meni ništa, osim što su moji momci upotrijebili; i dio za momčad što je sa mnom išla: Aner, Eškol i Mamre, oni neka uzmu svoj dio.”
I will take nothing except what the young men have eaten and the share of the men that went with me. Let Aner, Eshkol, and Mamre take their portion.”
