1 Mosebog 14
1 Og det skete i de Dage, der Amrafel var Konge i Sinear, Ariok Konge i Elassar, Kedorlaomer Konge i Elam, og Thideal Konge over Gojim,
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 at de førte Krig mod Bera, Kongen af Sodoma, og imod Birsa, Kongen af Gomorra, Sineab, Kongen af Adma, og Semeber, Kongen af Zeboim, og Kongen af Bela, det er Zoar.
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 Alle disse kom sammen i Siddims Dal, det er Salthavet.
These latter five kings joined together in the Valley of Siddim (also called the Salt Sea).
4 Tolv Aar havde de tjent Kedorlaomer, og i det trettende Aar vare de affaldne.
Twelve years they had served Kedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
5 Og i det fjortende Aar kom Kedorlaomer og de Konger, som vare med ham, og sloge Refaiterne i Astharoth-Karnaim og Susiterne i Ham og Emiterne i Schaveh-Kirjathaim
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 og Horiterne paa deres Bjerg Sejr indtil Parans Slette, som er ved Ørken.
and the Horites in their hill country of Seir, as far as El Paran, which is near the desert.
7 Derefter vendte de om og kom til den Kilde Mispat, det er Kades, og sloge Amalekiternes hele Land og Amoriterne, som boede i Hazezon-Thamar.
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 Da drog Kongen af Sodoma ud og Kongen af Gomorra og Kongen af Adma og Kongen af Zeboim og Kongen af Bela, det er Zoar, og rustede sig mod dem til Strid udi Siddims Dal,
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 imod Kedorlaomer, Kongen af Elam, og Thideal, Kongen over Gojim, og Amrafel, Kongen af Sinear, og Ariok, Kongen af Elassar, fire Konger mod fem.
against Kedorlaomer, king of Elam, Tidal, king of Goiim, Amraphel, king of Shinar, Arioch, king of Ellasar; four kings against the five.
10 Og Siddims Dal var fuld af Jordbegsgruber, og Kongen af Sodoma og Gomorra flyede, og de faldt deri; og de, som overbleve, flyede paa Bjerget.
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 Og de toge alt det Gods, som var i Sodoma og Gomorra, og al deres Føde og droge bort.
So the kings took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their provisions, and went their way.
12 Og de toge Abrams Brodersøn, Lot, og hans Gods og droge bort; men han boede i Sodoma.
When they went, they also took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who was living in Sodom, along with all his possessions.
13 Da kom en, som var undkommen, og forkyndte Hebræeren Abram det; men han boede i Amoriten Mamres Lund; denne var Broder til Eskol og Broder til Aner, og disse vare i Forbund med Abram.
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 Der Abram hørte, at hans Broder var fangen, da væbnede han sine tre Hundrede og atten oplærte unge Karle, som vare fødte i hans Hus, og forfulgte dem til Dan.
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 Og han og hans Svende delte sig over dem om Natten og slog dem og forfulgte dem til Hoba, som ligger paa den venstre Side for Damaskus,
He divided his men against them at night and attacked them, and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is north of Damascus.
16 og han førte alt Godset tilbage, og tilmed Lot, sin Broder, og hans Gods førte han tilbage og desligeste Kvinderne og Folket.
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 Og Kongen af Sodoma gik ud imod ham, efter at han var kommen tilbage fra det Slag imod Kedorlaomer og de Konger, som vare med ham, til Schave-Dal, som kaldes Kongens Dal.
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 Og Melkisedek, Kongen af Salem, bragte Brød og Vin, og han var den højeste Guds Præst.
Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High.
19 Og han velsignede ham og sagde: Velsignet være Abram for den højeste Gud, som ejer Himmel og Jord,
He blessed him saying, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth.
20 og velsignet være den højeste Gud, som gav dine Fjender i din Haand; og Abram gav ham Tiende af alt.
Blessed be God Most High, who has given your enemies into your hand.” Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.
21 Og Kongen af Sodoma sagde til Abram: Giv mig Folket, og tag Godset til dig.
The king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people, and take the goods for yourself.”
22 Men Abram sagde til Kongen af Sodoma: Jeg har opløftet min Haand til Herren, den højeste Gud, som ejer Himmel og Jord,
Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have lifted up my hand to Yahweh, God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth,
23 at jeg ikke vil tage saa meget som en Traad eller Skotvinge af alt det, som tilhører dig, at du ikke skal sige: jeg har gjort Abram rig;
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 undtagen det alene, som de unge Karle have fortæret, og de Mænds Del, som gik med mig, Aner, Eskol og Mamre, de maa tage deres Del.
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.”
