And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations;

[That these] made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.

All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.
4 Kuom higni apar gariyo negisebedo e bwo loch Kedorlaomer, to e higa mar apar gadek ne gingʼanyo.
Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
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 Chedorlaomer, and the kings that [were] with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim,

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 En-mishpat, which [is] Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in Hazezon-tamar.

And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same [is] Zoar; ) and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim;
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.
With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with 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.
And the vale of Siddim [was full of] slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell 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 goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.
12 Bende negikawo Lut, wuod owadgi Abram kod mwandune duto nikech noyudo odak Sodom.
And they took Lot, Abram’s brother’s son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
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 there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these [were] confederate with Abram.
14 Kane Abram owinjo ni watne oseter e twech, noluongo jotichge machwo motiegore mia adek gapar gaboro kendo olawogi nyaka Dan.
And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained [servants], born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued [them] unto Dan.
15 Gotieno Abram nopogo jotichnego e migepe mondo omonj ruodhigo kendo negiriembogi mi gilawogi nyaka Hoba, ma yo nyandwat mar Damaski.
And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, 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 goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and 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 his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that [were] with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which [is] the king’s dale.
18 Eka Melkizedek ruodh Salem nokelo makati gi divai. Ne en jadolo mar Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo,
And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and 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.
And he blessed him, and said, Blessed [be] Abram of the most high God, possessor of 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, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
21 Ruodh Sodom nowacho ne Abram niya, “Miya ji to idongʼ gi gik moko duto.”
And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods 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 Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, 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 I will not [take] from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that [is] thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:
24 Ok abi kawo gimoro to mana ma joga osechamo kod pok ma joga kaka Aner, Eshkol kod Mamre onego oyudi. Onego giyud pokgi.”
Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.
