< Genesis 14 >

1 In those days Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim
Na tango wana, Amirafeli, mokonzi ya Shineari; Arioki, mokonzi ya Elasari; Kedorilaomeri, mokonzi ya Elami, mpe Tideali, mokonzi ya Goyimi,
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).
bakendeki kobundisa Bera, mokonzi ya Sodome; Birisha, mokonzi ya Gomore; Shineabi, mokonzi ya Adima; Shemeberi, mokonzi ya Tseboyimi mpe mokonzi ya Bela oyo elakisi Tsoari.
3 The latter five came as allies to the Valley of Siddim (that is, the Salt Sea ).
Bakonzi mitano oyo, basangisaki mampinga na bango ya basoda na lubwaku ya Sidimi oyo ezali ebale monene ya Barozo.
4 For twelve years they had been subject to Chedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
Bazalaki na se ya bokonzi ya Kedorilaomeri mibu zomi na mibale, kasi na mobu oyo ya zomi na misato, batombokelaki ye.
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,
Na mobu ya zomi na minei, Kedorilaomeri elongo na bakonzi oyo basanganaki na ye, babundisaki mpe balongaki bato ya Refayimi na Ashiteroti-Karinayimi; bato ya Zuzimi, na Ami; mpe bato ya Emimi, na Shave-Kiriatayimi;
6 and the Horites in the area of Mount Seir, as far as El-paran, which is near the desert.
bato ya Ori, na Seiri, mokili ya bangomba kino na Parani, pene ya esobe.
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.
Tango bazongaki, bakendeki na Eyini-Mishipati oyo elakisi Kadeshi mpe babotolaki mokili mobimba ya bato ya Amaleki. Balongaki mpe bato ya Amori oyo bazalaki kovanda na Atsatsoni-Tamari.
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
Boye mokonzi ya Sodome, mokonzi ya Gomore, mokonzi ya Adima, mokonzi ya Tseboyimi mpe mokonzi ya Bela oyo elakisi Tsoari, babimaki mpe babongamaki na lubwaku ya Sidimi
9 against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, Tidal king of Goiim, Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar—four kings against five.
mpo na kobundisa Kedorilaomeri, mokonzi ya Elami; Tideali, mokonzi ya Goyimi; Amirafeli, mokonzi ya Shineari, mpe Arioki, mokonzi ya Elasari. Bakonzi minei babundisaki bakonzi mitano.
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.
Nzokande, lubwaku ya Sidimi ezalaki na mabulu oyo etonda na potopoto ya mwindo; bongo tango bakonzi ya Sodome mpe ya Gomore bazalaki kokima, ndambo ya bato bazalaki kozinda kati na yango mpe ndambo mosusu bazalaki kokima na bangomba.
11 The four kings seized all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their food, and they went on their way.
Bakonzi oyo minei, babotolaki biloko nyonso ya Sodome mpe ya Gomore mpe bakendeki na biloko na bango nyonso ya kolia.
12 They also carried off Abram’s nephew Lot and his possessions, since Lot was living in Sodom.
Bamemaki mpe lisusu Loti, mwana ya ndeko ya Abrami, elongo na bomengo na ye nyonso oyo azwaki tango azalaki kovanda na Sodome.
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.
Bongo, moto moko akimaki na bitumba mpe akendeki kopesa sango epai ya Abrami, Mo-Ebre oyo azalaki kovanda pene ya banzete minene ya Mamire, moto ya Amori, ndeko ya Eshikoli mpe ya Aneri. Bango nyonso misato basalaki lisanga na Abrami.
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.
Tango Abrami ayokaki ete bakangi ndeko na ye, abengisaki bato nkama misato na zomi na mwambe oyo bayebi kobunda mpe babotama na ndako na ye. Boye balandaki bango kino na Dani.
15 During the night, Abram divided his forces and routed Chedorlaomer’s army, pursuing them as far as Hobah, north of Damascus.
Na butu, Abrami akabolaki bato na ye mpo na kobundisa bango, abetaki bango mpe alandaki bango kino na Oba, na nor ya Damasi.
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.
Abotolaki bango bomengo nyonso ya bitumba mpe azongaki na ndeko na ye Loti elongo na biloko na ye nyonso, basi mpe bato mosusu.
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).
Mokonzi ya Sodome akendeki na lubwaku ya Shave oyo ezali lubwaku ya bokonzi, mpo na kokutana na Abrami oyo azali kozonga sima na ye kolonga Kedorilaomeri elongo na bakonzi oyo basanganaki na ye, na bitumba.
18 Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine—since he was priest of God Most High —
Melishisedeki, mokonzi ya Salemi, amemaki mapa mpe masanga ya vino. Azalaki Nganga-Nzambe ya Nzambe-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo
19 and he blessed Abram and said: “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth,
mpe apambolaki Abrami na maloba oyo: « Tika ete Nzambe-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo, Mokeli ya likolo mpe ya mokili, apambola Abrami!
20 and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand.” Then Abram gave Melchizedek a tenth of everything.
Tika ete Nzambe-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo apambolama, Ye oyo akabi na maboko na yo banguna na yo! » Abrami apesaki ye eteni ya zomi ya biloko nyonso oyo azwaki lokola bomengo ya bitumba.
21 The king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people, but take the goods for yourself.”
Mokonzi ya Sodome alobaki na Abrami: — Pesa ngai bato, kamata na yo biloko.
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,
Kasi Abrami azongiselaki mokonzi ya Sodome: — Nalapi ndayi na Kombo na Yawe, Nzambe-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo, Nzambe oyo akela likolo mpe mokili,
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.’
ete nakozwa eloko moko te kati na biloko na yo: ezala singa ya kotongela to ya kokangela sapato, mpo ete oloba te: « Nakomisi Abrami mozwi. »
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.”
Nakondima eloko te longola kaka biloko oyo bato na ngai baliaki mpe biloko ya bato oyo bazalaki elongo na ngai: Aneri, Eshikoli mpe Mamire; bango nde bakozwa biloko na bango.
