Chakruok 14

1 E kindeno Amrafel ruodh Shinar, Ariok ruodh Elasar, Kedorlaomer ruodh Elam kod Tidal ruodh Goyim

And it came to pass at that time, that Amraphel king of Sennaar, and Arioch king of Pontus, and Chodorlahomor king of the Elamites, and Thadal king of nations,

2 nodhi kedo gi Bera ruodh Sodom, Birsha ruodh Gomora, Shinab ruodh Adma, Shemeber ruodh Zeboim kod ruodh Bela (ma tiende ni Zoar).

Made war against Bara king of Sodom, and against Bersa king of Gomorrha, and against Sennaab king of Adama, and against Semeber king of Seboim, and against the king of Bala, which is Segor.

3 Ruodhi abichgi duto noriwo jolwenjgi ne kedo e Holo mar Sidim (miluongo ni Nam chumbi).

All these came together into the woodland vale, which now is the salt sea.

4 Kuom higni apar gariyo negisebedo e bwo loch Kedorlaomer, to e higa mar apar gadek ne gingʼanyo.

For they had served Chodorlahomor twelve years, and in the thirteenth year they revolted from him.

5 E higa mar apar gangʼwen, Kedorlaomer kod ruodhi mane oriwore kode nodhi omonjo kendo oloyo jo-Refai man Ashteroth Karnaim, jo-Zuzim e Ham gi jo-Emi man Shave Kiriathaim,

And in the fourteenth year came Chodorlahomor, and the kings that were with him: and they smote the Raphaim in Astarothcarnaim, and the Zuzim with them, and the Emim in Save of Cariathaim.

6 kendo jo-Hori manie gode mag Seir, mane ochwe nyaka El-Paran machiegni gi piny motimo ongoro.

And the Chorreans in the mountains of Seir, even to the plains of Pharan, which is in the wilderness.

7 Eka negidwogo chien kendo gidhi nyaka En Mishpat (ma tiende ni Kadesh), kendo negikawo piny jo-Amalek duto gi piny jo-Amor manodak Hazazon Tamar.

And they returned, and came to the fountain of Misphat, the same is Cades: and they smote all the country of the Amalecites, and the Amorrhean that dwelt in Asasonthamar.

8 Eka ruodh Sodom, ruodh Gomora, ruodh Adma, ruodh Zeboim kod ruodh Bela (ma tiende ni Zoar) nowuok kendo oikore kedo moriedo jolwenjgi e Holo mar Sidim,

And the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrha, and the king of Adama, and the king of Seboim, and the king of Bala, which is Segor, went out: and they set themselves against them in battle array in the woodland vale:

9 mondo oked gi Kedorlaomer ruodh Elam, Tidal ruodh Goyim, Amrafel ruodh Shinar kod Ariok ruodh Elasar mi ruodhi angʼwen-go nokedo gi ruodhi abich.

To wit, against Chodorlahomor king of the Elamites, and Thadal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Sennaar, and Arioch king of Pontus: four kings against five.

10 Holo mar Sidim nopongʼ gi buche mag chwodho, kendo kane ruodhi mag Sodom kod Gomora ringo, moko nopodho e buchego to moko noringo otony e gode.

Now the woodland vale had many pits of slime. And the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrha turned their backs and were overthrown there: and they that remained fled to the mountain.

11 Ruodhi angʼwen-go noyako gik moko duto mag Sodom kod Gomora kod chiembgi duto mi gidhi.

And they took all the substance of the Sodomites, and Gomorrhites, and all their victuals, and went their way:

12 Bende negikawo Lut, wuod owadgi Abram kod mwandune duto nikech noyudo odak Sodom.

And Lot also, the son of Abram’s brother, who dwelt in Sodom, and his substance.

13 Ngʼat achiel mane oyudo otony nobiro kendo onyiso Abram ja-Hibrania wachni. E ndalogo Abram nodak e tiend yiende madongo mag Mamre ja-Amor mane omin Eshkol kod Aner, osiepe Abram.

And behold one that had escaped told Abram the Hebrew, who dwelt in the vale of Mambre the Amorrhite, the brother of Escol, and the brother of Aner: for these had made league with Abram.

14 Kane Abram owinjo ni watne oseter e twech, noluongo jotichge machwo motiegore mia adek gapar gaboro kendo olawogi nyaka Dan.

Which when Abram had heard, to wit, that his brother Lot was taken, he numbered of the servants born in his house, three hundred and eighteen well appointed: and pursued them to Dan.

15 Gotieno Abram nopogo jotichnego e migepe mondo omonj ruodhigo kendo negiriembogi mi gilawogi nyaka Hoba, ma yo nyandwat mar Damaski.

And dividing his company, he rushed upon them in the night: and defeated them, and pursued them as far as Hoba, which is on the left hand of Damascus.

16 Abram nodhi moomo gik moko duto mane joka odhigo kendo noreso Lut wuod owadgi kod mwandune duto kaachiel gi mon kod ji mamoko.

And he brought back all the substance, and Lot his brother, with his substance, the women also and the people.

17 Bangʼ ka Abram noduogo koseloyo Kedorlaomer kod ruodhi mane oriwore kode, ruodh Sodom nobiro mondo orom kode ei Holo mar Shave (ma tiende ni Holo mar Ruoth).

And the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after he returned from the slaughter of Chodorlahomor, and of the kings that were with him in the vale of Save, which is the king’s vale.

18 Eka Melkizedek ruodh Salem nokelo makati gi divai. Ne en jadolo mar Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo,

But Melchisedech the king of Salem, bringing forth bread and wine, for he was the priest of the most high God,

19 kendo nogwedho Abram kowacho niya, “Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo, Jachwech polo kod piny ogwedhi, in Abram.

Blessed him, and said: Blessed be Abram by the most high God, who created heaven and earth.

20 Kendo ogwedh Nying Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo mane oketo wasiki e lweti.” Eka Abram nomiye achiel kuom apar mar gik moko duto.

And blessed be the most high God, by whose protection the enemies are in thy hands. And he gave him the tithes of all.

21 Ruodh Sodom nowacho ne Abram niya, “Miya ji to idongʼ gi gik moko duto.”

And the king of Sodom said to Abram: Give me the persons, and the rest take to thyself.

22 To Abram nowacho ne ruodh Sodom, “Asetingʼo lweta ne Jehova Nyasaye, ma en Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo, Jachwech polo gi piny kendo asekwongʼora

And he answered him: I lift up my hand to the Lord God the most high, the possessor of heaven and earth,

23 ni ok nakaw giri moro, kata mana tol kata pat kira, mondo kik chiengʼ moro iwachi ni, ‘An ema ne amiyo Abram obedo jamoko.’

That from the very woof thread unto the shoe latchet, I will not take of any things that are thine, lest thou say I have enriched Abram:

24 Ok abi kawo gimoro to mana ma joga osechamo kod pok ma joga kaka Aner, Eshkol kod Mamre onego oyudi. Onego giyud pokgi.”

Except such things as the young men have eaten, and the shares of the men that came with me, Aner, Escol, and Mambre: these shall take their shares.
