< Genesis 14 >
1 Now in the days of Amraphel, king of Shinar, Arioch, king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of Goiim,
Nʼoge ahụ kwa, Amrafel, eze Shaịna, na Ariok, eze ndị Elasa, na Kedoloma eze Elam, na Tidal eze Goiim,
2 They 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).
buru agha megide Bera eze Sọdọm, na Biasha eze Gọmọra, na Shịnab, eze Adma, na Shemeba eze Zeboiim, na eze obodo Bela (ya bụ Zoa).
3 All these came together in the valley of Siddim (which is the Salt Sea).
Ndị eze obodo ndị a: Sọdọm, Gọmọra, Adma, Zeboiim na Bela, jikọtara ndị agha ha ọnụ na Ndagwurugwu Sidim (ya bụ, ndagwurugwu osimiri nnu ahụ).
4 For twelve years they were under the rule of Chedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year they put off his control.
Ha fere ofufe nʼokpuru ọchịchị eze Kedoloma afọ iri na abụọ, ma nʼafọ nke iri na atọ, ha nupuru isi.
5 And in the fourteenth year, Chedorlaomer and the kings who were on his side, overcame the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh-kiriathaim,
Nʼafọ nke iri na anọ, eze Kedoloma na ndị eze ya na ha jikọrọ ọnụ buru agha megide ma merie ndị Refaim bi nʼAshterọt Kenaim na ndị Zuzim bi na Ham na ndị Emim bi Kiriatem na Shave,
6 And the Horites in their mountain Seir, driving them as far as El-paran, which is near the waste land.
na ndị Hor nʼobodo ugwu Sia, ruo obodo El Paran, nke dị nʼakụkụ ọzara.
7 Then they came back to En-mishpat (which is Kadesh), making waste all the country of the Amalekites and of the Amorites living in Hazazon-tamar.
Mgbe ahụ, ha chigharịrị azụ gaa En Mishpat (ya bụ Kadesh). Ha meriri ala niile nke ndị Amalek nakwa ndị Amọrait bi na Hazezọn Tama.
8 And the king of Sodom with the king of Gomorrah and the king of Admah and the king of Zeboiim and the king of Bela (that is Zoar), went out, and put their forces in position in the valley of Siddim,
Mgbe ahụ kwa, ndị agha ndị eze obodo Sọdọm na eze Gọmọra, na eze Adma, na eze Zeboiim, na eze Bela (ya bụ Zoa) pụrụ doo onwe ha nʼusoro ibu agha na Ndagwurugwu Sidim,
9 Against Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of Goiim, and Amraphel, king of Shinar, and Arioch, king of Ellasar: four kings against the five.
imegide Kedoloma eze Elam, Tidal eze Goiim, Amrafel eze Shaịna na Ariok eze Elasa. Ya bụ eze ise buru agha megide eze anọ.
10 Now the valley of Siddim was full of holes of sticky earth; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah were put to flight and came to their end there, but the rest got away to the mountain.
Ma Ndagwurugwu Sidim jupụtara nʼolulu apịtị. Mgbe ndị agha eze Sọdọm na Gọmọra bidoro ịgba ọsọ. Ụfọdụ nʼime ha dabanyere nʼime olulu ndị a, ma ndị fọdụrụ gbapụrụ ọsọ gbaga nʼugwu.
11 And the four kings took all the goods and food from Sodom and Gomorrah and went on their way.
Ma eze anọ ndị a banyere nʼime obodo Sọdọm na Gọmọra bukọrọ akụ ha, na ihe oriri ha niile laa.
12 And in addition they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who was living in Sodom, and all his goods.
Ha buuru Lọt, nwa nwanne Ebram, onye bi na Sọdọm na ihe niile o nwere, buru ha na-ala ebe ha si bịa.
13 And one who had got away from the fight came and gave word of it to Abram the Hebrew, who was living by the holy tree of Mamre, the Amorite, the brother of Eshcol and Aner, who were friends of Abram.
Ma otu onye gbara ọsọ ndụ site nʼebe ahụ gara kọọrọ Ebram onye Hibru ihe mere. Nʼoge a, Ebram bi nʼebe dị nso nʼosisi ukwu nke Mamre, onye Amọrị, nwanne Eshkọl na Anea, ndị ha na Ebram gbara ndụ.
14 And Abram, hearing that his brother's son had been made a prisoner, took a band of his trained men, three hundred and eighteen of them, sons of his house, and went after them as far as Dan.
Mgbe Ebram nụrụ na adọrọla Lọt nwa nwanne ya nʼagha, ọ kpọkọtara ndị ikom a zụrụ azụ na-ejere ya ozi, ndị a mụrụ nʼụlọ ya. Ọnụọgụgụ ha dị narị ndị ikom atọ na iri na asatọ, ha chụrụ ndị agha ahụ ọsọ tutu ha erute Dan.
15 And separating his forces by night, he overcame them, putting them to flight and going after them as far as Hobah, which is on the north side of Damascus.
Nʼabalị, Ebram kere ndị agha ya ibuso ndị ahụ agha. O meriri ha, chụọ ha ọsọ, chụruo ha Hoba, nke dị nʼakụkụ ugwu Damaskọs.
16 And he got back all the goods, and Lot, his brother's son, with his goods and the women and the people.
Ebram nwetaghachiri ihe niile ahụ ha dọtara nʼagha, dulata nwanne ya Lọt, na ihe onwunwe ya niile, tinyere ndị inyom, na ndị ọzọ niile a dọtara nʼagha.
17 And when he was coming back after putting to flight Chedorlaomer and the other kings, he had a meeting with the king of Sodom in the valley of Shaveh, that is, the King's Valley.
Mgbe Ebram si na mmeri ahụ o meriri Kedoloma na eze ndị ọzọ ahụ na-alọta, eze Sọdọm bịara zute ya na Ndagwurugwu Shave (nke a na-akpọ Ndagwurugwu Eze).
18 And Melchizedek, king of Salem, the priest of the Most High God, took bread and wine,
Melkizedek, eze Salem, onye nchụaja Chineke nke kachasị ihe niile elu, wepụtara achịcha na mmanya,
19 And blessing him, said, May the blessing of the Most High God, maker of heaven and earth, be on Abram:
ọ gọziri Ebram sị ya, “Ngọzị dịrị Ebram site nʼaka Chineke nke kachasị ihe niile elu, Onye kere eluigwe na ụwa.
20 And let the Most High God be praised, who has given into your hands those who were against you. Then Abram gave him a tenth of all the goods he had taken.
Ngọzị dịkwara Chineke nke kachasị ihe niile elu, onye weere ndị iro gị nyefee gị nʼaka.” Mgbe ahụ, Ebram nyere ya otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ iri nke ihe niile.
21 And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the prisoners and take the goods for yourself.
Eze Sọdọm gwara Ebram sị, “Nyeghachi m naanị ndị mmadụ, ma debere onwe gị ihe ndị ọzọ.”
22 But Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have taken an oath to the Lord, the Most High God, maker of heaven and earth,
Ma Ebram zara eze Sọdọm sị, “Eweliri m aka m elu ṅụọ iyi nye Onyenwe anyị Chineke nke kachasị ihe niile elu, Onye kere eluigwe na ụwa, sị
23 That I will not take so much as a thread or the cord of a shoe of yours; so that you may not say, I have given wealth to Abram:
na agaghị m esi nʼaka gị were ihe ọbụla bụ nke gị, ọ bụladị eriri maọbụ eriri akpụkpọụkwụ. Ka ị ghara ị sị, ‘Ọ bụ m mere ka Ebram baa ọgaranya.’
24 Give me nothing but the food which the fighting-men who went with me have had; but let Aner and Eshcol and Mamre have their part of the goods.
Naanị ihe m ga-anara bụ ihe ụmụ okorobịa m ndị a riri, ya na oke ruuru Anea, na Eshkọl, na Mamre so m gaa. Nye ha oke ruuru ha.”
