1 Mosebog 14
1 Dengang Amrafel var Konge i Sinear, Arjok i Ellasar, Kedorlaomer i Elam og Tid'al i 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 laa de i Krig med Kong Bera af Sodoma, Kong Birsja af Gomorra, Kong Sjin'ab af Adma, Kong Sjem'eber af Zebojim og Kongen i Bela, det et 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 havde slaaet sig sammen og var rykket frem til Siddims Dal, det er Salthavet.
These latter five kings joined together in the Valley of Siddim (also called the Salt Sea).
4 I tolv Aar havde de staaet under Kedorlaomer, men i det trettende faldt de fra;
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 fulgte ham. Først slog de Refaiterne i Asjtarot-Karnajim, Zuziterne i Ham, Emiterne i Sjave-Kirjatajim
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 i Se'irs Bjerge hen ad El-Paran til ved Ørkenens Rand;
and the Horites in their hill country of Seir, as far as El Paran, which is near the desert.
7 saa vendte de om og drog til Misjpatkilden, det er Kadesj, og slog Amalekiterne i hele deres Omraade og ligesaa de Amoriter, der boede i Hazazon-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 Da drog Sodomas, Gomorras, Admas, Zebojims og Belas, det er Zoars, Konger ud og indlod sig i Siddims Dal i Kamp
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 med Kong Kedorlaomer af Elam, Kong Tid'al af Gojim, Kong Amrafel af Sinear og Kong Arjok af Ellasar, 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 Men Siddims Dal var fuld af Jordbeggruber; og da Sodomas og Gomorras Konger blev slaaet paa Flugt, styrtede de i dem, medens de, der blev tilbage, flyede op i Bjergene.
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 Saa tog Fjenden alt Godset i Sodoma og Gomorra og alle Levnedsmidlerne og drog bort;
So the kings took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their provisions, and went their way.
12 ligeledes tog de, da de drog bort, Abrams Brodersøn Lot og alt hans Gods med sig; thi 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 Men en Flygtning kom og meldte det til Hebræeren Abram, der boede ved den Lund, som tilhørte Amoriten Mamre, en Broder til Esjkol og Aner, der ligesom han var Abrams Pagtsfæller.
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 Da nu Abram hørte, at hans Frænde var taget til Fange, mønstrede han sine Husfolk, de hjemmefødte Trælle, 318 Mand, og satte efter Fjenden 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 der faldt han og hans Trælle over dem om Natten, slog dem paa Flugt og forfulgte dem op til Hoba norden 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 Derefter bragte han alt Godset tilbage; ogsaa sin Frænde Lot og hans Gods førte han tilbage og ligeledes 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 Da han nu kom tilbage fra Sejren over Kedorlaomer og de Konger, der fulgte ham, gik Sodomas Konge ham i Møde i Sjavedalen, det er Kongedalen.
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 Men Salems Konge Melkizedek, Gud den Allerhøjestes Præst, bragte Brød og Vin
Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High.
19 og velsignede ham med de Ord: »Priset være Abram for Gud den Allerhøjeste, Himmelens og Jordens Skaber,
He blessed him saying, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth.
20 og priset være Gud den Allerhøjeste, der 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 Sodomas Konge sagde derpaa til Abram: »Giv mig Menneskene og behold selv Godset!«
The king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people, and take the goods for yourself.”
22 Men Abram svarede Sodomas Konge: »Til HERREN, Gud den Allerhøjeste, Himmelens og Jordens Skaber, løfter jeg min Haand paa,
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 en Sandalrem eller overhovedet noget som helst af din Ejendom; du skal ikke sige, at du 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 Jeg vil intet have — kun hvad de unge Mænd har fortæret, og mine Ledsagere, Aner, Esjkol og Mamres Del, lad dem faa 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.”
