Genesis 14
1 In those days Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim
Lè sa a, Anmrafèl te wa Chenea, Ajòk te wa Elaza, Kedòlaòmè te wa Elam, Tideal te wa lòt nasyon yo.
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).
Yo kat yo leve, y al fè lagè ak senk lòt wa. Bera ki te wa Sodòm, Bicha ki te wa Gomò, Cheneab ki te wa Adma, Chemebè ki te wa zeboyim yo, ak wa peyi Bela a. Peyi sa a te rele Zoa tou.
3 The latter five came as allies to the Valley of Siddim (that is, the Salt Sea ).
Senk wa sa yo mete tèt yo ansanm, yo reyini nan Fon Sidim lan kote lanmè Sèl la ye a.
4 For twelve years they had been subject to Chedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
Pandan douzan, senk wa sa yo te soumèt devan Kedòlaòmè. Lanne ki fè yo trèzan an, yo revòlte.
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,
Lanne apre sa, ki pou ta fè yo katòzan nan pozisyon sa a, Kedòlaòmè ansanm ak twa wa ki te mete tèt ansanm ak li yo vin rive. Yo bat refayim yo nan lavil Astawòt-Kanayim, yo bat zouzim yo nan lavil Am, yo bat emim yo nan laplenn Chave-Kiryatayim.
6 and the Horites in the area of Mount Seir, as far as El-paran, which is near the desert.
Yo bat orit yo sou mòn Seyi, jouk bò kote pye bwadchenn Paran an, ki toupre dezè a.
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.
Apre sa, yo kase tèt tounen, yo rive bò Sous jijman an, yo bat tout chèf moun Amelèk yo, yo pran tout bèt yo. Yo bat moun Amori yo tout ki rete Azazon-Tama, yo bat yo byen bat.
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
Lè sa a, wa Sodòm, wa Gomò, wa Adma, wa zeboyim ansanm ak wa Bela a, yo soti, yo pran pozisyon nan Fon Sidim lan pou yo goumen
9 against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, Tidal king of Goiim, Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar—four kings against five.
kont Kedòlaòmè, wa Elam, Tideal, wa lòt nasyon yo, Anmrafèl, wa Chenea ak Ajòch, wa Elaza. Sa te fè kat wa kont senk wa.
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.
Nan Fon Sidim lan te gen anpil twou byen fon ki te plen asfat. Pandan batay la, wa Sodòm ak wa Gomò yo pran kouri pou lènmi yo, yo te vle wete kò yo nan batay la, yo tonbe nan twou asfat yo. Lòt wa yo menm kouri al kache nan mòn.
11 The four kings seized all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their food, and they went on their way.
Kat wa yo pran tout sa yo jwenn nan Sodòm ak Gomò, ata pwovizyon manje, epi y al fè wout yo.
12 They also carried off Abram’s nephew Lot and his possessions, since Lot was living in Sodom.
Yo pase men yo yo pran Lòt, pitit frè Abram lan, ansanm ak tout byen l' yo, paske se Sodòm Lòt te rete.
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.
Men, yonn nan mesye ki te chape nan batay la vin di Abram sa. Lè sa a, Abram te rete toupre pye bwadchenn Manmre a. Manmre sa a, se te yon moun Amori. Se te frè Echkòl ak Ane. tout de mesye sa yo te pase kontra avèk Abram.
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.
Lè Abram vin konnen yo te fè neve l' la prizonye, li sanble tout domestik ki te fèt lakay li yo epi ki te konn goumen. Li pran twasandizwit (318) antou. Epi li file dèyè wa yo jouk lavil Dann.
15 During the night, Abram divided his forces and routed Chedorlaomer’s army, pursuing them as far as Hobah, north of Damascus.
La, yon jou lannwit, li separe mesye li yo, li fè yo fè de gwoup, epi li atake lènmi yo. Li bat yo byen bat, li kouri dèyè yo jouk yo rive Oba, ki sou bò nò lavil Damas.
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.
Li reprann tout byen yo te pran yo, li mennen Lòt, neve li a, tounen lakay li ansanm ak tout byen l' yo, tout medam yo ak tout pèp la.
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).
Apre Abram te fin kraze Kedòlaòmè ansanm ak tout lòt wa ki te fè tèt ansanm ak Kedòlaòmè yo, li t'ap tounen lakay li. Wa Sodòm lan vin rankontre l' nan Fon Chave a ki rele Fon Wa a tou.
18 Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine—since he was priest of God Most High —
Mèlkisedèk menm ki te wa peyi Salèm fè pote pen ak diven vini. Se yon prèt ki t'ap sèvi Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la li te ye.
19 and he blessed Abram and said: “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth,
Li beni Abram, li di. Se pou Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la, li menm ki fè syèl la ak latè a, beni Abram.
20 and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand.” Then Abram gave Melchizedek a tenth of everything.
Lwanj pou Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la. Se li menm ki te lage lènmi ou yo nan men ou. Apre sa, Abram ba li yon dizyèm nan tout sa li te pran.
21 The king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people, but take the goods for yourself.”
Lèfini, wa Sodòm lan di Abram. Ou mèt gade tout byen yo pou ou. Men ban mwen moun yo sèlman.
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,
Abram reponn wa Sodòm lan, li di l'. Mwen fè sèman devan Seyè a, Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la, li menm ki fè syèl la ak latè a,
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.’
mwen p'ap pran anyen nan sa ki pou ou, li te mèt yon ti moso fil, yon kòd sapat. Konsa, ou p'ap janm ka di se ou menm ki fè Abram rich.
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.”
Mwen pa bezwen anyen pou tèt pa m'. Men, m'ap asepte sa moun mwen yo te manje, ansanm ak pòsyon ki pou moun ki te mache avè m' yo. Wi, se pou Ane, Echkòl ak Manmre pran sa ki vin pou yo a.
