Genesis 14
1 In those days Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim
Te vaeng tue kah aka om Shinar manghai Amraphel, Ellasar manghai Ariyawk, Elam manghai Kedorlaomer neh Goiim manghai Tidal loh;
2 went to war against Bera king of Sodom, Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar).
Sodom manghai Bera, Gomorrah manghai Birsha, Admah manghai Shinab, Zeboiim manghai Shemeber neh Zoar manghai Bela taengah caemtloeknah a saii uh.
3 The latter five came as allies to the Valley of Siddim (that is, the Salt Sea ).
Te rhoek boeih te Lungkaeh tuitunli kah Siddim kol ah cingcui uh.
4 For twelve years they had been subject to Chedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
Kedorlaomer taengah kum hlai nit thotat uh dae kum a hlai thum vaengah a tloelh uh coeng.
5 In the fourteenth year, Chedorlaomer and the kings allied with him went out and defeated the Rephaites in Ashteroth-karnaim, the Zuzites in Ham, the Emites in Shaveh-kiriathaim,
Kum hlai li vaengah Kedorlaomer khaw amah taengkah manghai rhoek neh cet tih Ashterothkarnaim kah Rephaim neh Ham kah Zuzim khaw, Shaveh Kiriathaim kah Emim khaw,
6 and the Horites in the area of Mount Seir, as far as El-paran, which is near the desert.
Seir tlang kah Khori neh khosoek taengkah Elparan duela a tloek.
7 Then they turned back to invade En-mishpat (that is, Kadesh), and they conquered the whole territory of the Amalekites, as well as the Amorites who lived in Hazazon-tamar.
Te phoeiah bal uh tih Kadesh kah Enmishpat te a paan uh vaengah Amalek khohmuen boeih neh Hazezontamar ah kho aka sa Amori te khaw a tloek uh.
8 Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar) marched out and arrayed themselves for battle in the Valley of Siddim
Te phoeiah Sodom manghai khaw, Gomorrah manghai khaw, Admah manghai khaw, Zeboiim kah manghai Zeboiin khaw, Zoar manghai Bela khaw, amih neh aka thoo hmaih Siddim kol kah caemtloeknah te khaw,
9 against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, Tidal king of Goiim, Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar—four kings against five.
Elam manghai Kedorlaomer khaw, Goiim manghai Tidal khaw, Shinar manghai Amraphel khaw, Ellasar manghai Aryawk khaw manghai rhoek pali panga te a muk.
10 Now the Valley of Siddim was full of tar pits, and as the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, some men fell into the pits, but the survivors fled to the hill country.
Te vaengah Sodom neh Gomorrah manghai te rhaelrham uh dae Siddim kol kah aka om tuito, lungpaat tuito ah cungku rhoi tih aka sueng rhoek te tlang la rhaelrham uh.
11 The four kings seized all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their food, and they went on their way.
Te dongah Sodom neh Gomorrah kah khuehtawn boeih khaw cakok boeih a loh uh tih cet uh.
12 They also carried off Abram’s nephew Lot and his possessions, since Lot was living in Sodom.
Te vaengah Abram maya capa Lot khaw Sodom ah kho a sak van dongah amah neh a khuehtawn te rhen a khuen uh tih a caeh puei uh.
13 Then an escapee came and reported this to Abram the Hebrew. Now Abram was living near the Oaks of Mamre the Amorite, a brother of Eshcol and Aner, all of whom were bound by treaty to Abram.
Te vaengah hlangyong te Mamre thingnu rhoek taengah aka cu Amori hoel Eshkol neh Aner kah a manuca tah halo tih Hebrew hoel Abram taengah puen. Amih te Abram kah a tai kung ni.
14 And when Abram heard that his relative had been captured, he mobilized the 318 trained men born in his household, and they set out in pursuit as far as Dan.
A manuca a sol pah te Abram loh a yaak van neh amah kah a hlangphaep neh a im kah a cahlah ya thum neh hlai rhet te a hui tih Dan duela a hloem.
15 During the night, Abram divided his forces and routed Chedorlaomer’s army, pursuing them as far as Hobah, north of Damascus.
Tedae khoyin ah amah loh a sal rhoek te hloephloep a tael tih caem a tloek. Te phoeiah amih te Damasku kah banvoei ben Hobah duela a hloem.
16 He retrieved all the goods, as well as his relative Lot and his possessions, together with the women and the rest of the people.
Te dongah khuehtawn boeih neh a manuca Lot khaw a lat tih anih kah khuehtawn khaw huta rhoek khaw pilnam khaw ham bal puei bal.
17 After Abram returned from defeating Chedorlaomer and the kings allied with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley).
Te vaengah Kedorlaomer neh anih taengkah manghai rhoek te a tloek phoei lamkah Abram a bal vaengah anih aka doe ham Sodom manghai loh Shaveh kol manghai tuikol la cet.
18 Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine—since he was priest of God Most High —
Te vaengah Pathen Pathen taengkah khosoih, Salem manghai Melkhizedek loh vaidam neh misurtui a khuen.
19 and he blessed Abram and said: “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth,
Te phoeiah Abram te yoethen a paek tih, “Vaan neh diklai aka men Pathen Pathen loh Abram yoe a then sak.
20 and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand.” Then Abram gave Melchizedek a tenth of everything.
Na rhal rhoek te nang kut ah aka tloeng Pathen Pathen khaw a yoethen pai,” a ti nah. Te dongah Abram loh a cungkuem khui lamkah parha pakhat te anih taengla a paek.
21 The king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people, but take the goods for yourself.”
Tedae Sodom manghai long tah Abram taengah, “Hinglu te kai ham khueh lamtah khuehtawn te namah ham khuen,” a ti nah.
22 But Abram replied to the king of Sodom, “I have raised my hand to the LORD God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth,
Te dongah Abram loh Sodom manghai taengah, “Vaan neh diklai aka men Khohni Pathen Yahweh taengah ka kut ka phuel coeng.
23 that I will not accept even a thread, or a strap of a sandal, or anything that belongs to you, lest you should say, ‘I have made Abram rich.’
Nang taengkah boeih tah rhuihet neh khokhom rhui pataeng ka doe mahpawh. Te daengah ni, 'Kai loh Abram ka boei sak,’ na ti pawt eh.
24 I will accept nothing but what my men have eaten and the share for the men who went with me—Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. They may take their portion.”
Kai te rhaemaih. Tedae camoe rhoek kah a caak neh Aner Eshkol neh Mamre ah kamah taengla aka lo hlang rhoek kah hamsum te tah amamih kah hamsum la lo uh saeh,” a ti nah.
