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,
Pada zaman Amrafel, raja Sinear, Ariokh, raja Elasar, Kedorlaomer, raja Elam, dan Tideal, raja Goyim, terjadilah,
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).
bahwa raja-raja ini berperang melawan Bera, raja Sodom, Birsya, raja Gomora, Syinab, raja Adma, Syemeber, raja Zeboim dan raja negeri Bela, yakni negeri Zoar.
3 All these came together in the valley of Siddim (which is the Salt Sea).
Raja-raja yang disebut terakhir ini semuanya bersekutu dan datang ke lembah Sidim, yakni Laut Asin.
4 For twelve years they were under the rule of Chedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year they put off his control.
Dua belas tahun lamanya mereka takluk kepada Kedorlaomer, tetapi dalam tahun yang ketiga belas mereka memberontak.
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,
Dalam tahun yang keempat belas datanglah Kedorlaomer serta raja-raja yang bersama-sama dengan dia, lalu mereka mengalahkan orang Refaim di Asyterot-Karnaim, orang Zuzim di Ham, orang Emim di Syawe-Kiryataim
6 And the Horites in their mountain Seir, driving them as far as El-paran, which is near the waste land.
dan orang Hori di pegunungan mereka yang bernama Seir, sampai ke El-Paran di tepi padang gurun.
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.
Sesudah itu baliklah mereka dan sampai ke En-Mispat, yakni Kadesh, dan mengalahkan seluruh daerah orang Amalek, dan juga orang Amori, yang diam di Hazezon-Tamar.
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,
Lalu keluarlah raja negeri Sodom, raja negeri Gomora, raja negeri Adma, raja negeri Zeboim dan raja negeri Bela, yakni negeri Zoar, dan mengatur barisan perangnya melawan mereka di lembah 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.
melawan Kedorlaomer, raja Elam, Tideal, raja Goyim, Amrafel, raja Sinear, dan Ariokh, raja Elasar, empat raja lawan lima.
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.
Di lembah Sidim itu di mana-mana ada sumur aspal. Ketika raja Sodom dan raja Gomora melarikan diri, jatuhlah mereka ke dalamnya, dan orang-orang yang masih tinggal hidup melarikan diri ke pegunungan.
11 And the four kings took all the goods and food from Sodom and Gomorrah and went on their way.
Segala harta benda Sodom dan Gomora beserta segala bahan makanan dirampas musuh, lalu mereka pergi.
12 And in addition they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who was living in Sodom, and all his goods.
Juga Lot, anak saudara Abram, beserta harta bendanya, dibawa musuh, lalu mereka pergi--sebab Lot itu diam di Sodom.
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.
Kemudian datanglah seorang pelarian dan menceritakan hal ini kepada Abram, orang Ibrani itu, yang tinggal dekat pohon-pohon tarbantin kepunyaan Mamre, orang Amori itu, saudara Eskol dan Aner, yakni teman-teman sekutu Abram.
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.
Ketika Abram mendengar, bahwa anak saudaranya tertawan, maka dikerahkannyalah orang-orangnya yang terlatih, yakni mereka yang lahir di rumahnya, tiga ratus delapan belas orang banyaknya, lalu mengejar musuh sampai ke 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.
Dan pada waktu malam berbagilah mereka, ia dan hamba-hambanya itu, untuk melawan musuh; mereka mengalahkan dan mengejar musuh sampai ke Hoba di sebelah utara Damsyik.
16 And he got back all the goods, and Lot, his brother's son, with his goods and the women and the people.
Dibawanyalah kembali segala harta benda itu; juga Lot, anak saudaranya itu, serta harta bendanya dibawanya kembali, demikian juga perempuan-perempuan dan orang-orangnya.
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.
Setelah Abram kembali dari mengalahkan Kedorlaomer dan para raja yang bersama-sama dengan dia, maka keluarlah raja Sodom menyongsong dia ke lembah Syawe, yakni Lembah Raja.
18 And Melchizedek, king of Salem, the priest of the Most High God, took bread and wine,
Melkisedek, raja Salem, membawa roti dan anggur; ia seorang imam Allah Yang Mahatinggi.
19 And blessing him, said, May the blessing of the Most High God, maker of heaven and earth, be on Abram:
Lalu ia memberkati Abram, katanya: "Diberkatilah kiranya Abram oleh Allah Yang Mahatinggi, Pencipta langit dan bumi,
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.
dan terpujilah Allah Yang Mahatinggi, yang telah menyerahkan musuhmu ke tanganmu." Lalu Abram memberikan kepadanya sepersepuluh dari semuanya.
21 And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the prisoners and take the goods for yourself.
Berkatalah raja Sodom itu kepada Abram: "Berikanlah kepadaku orang-orang itu, dan ambillah untukmu harta benda itu."
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,
Tetapi kata Abram kepada raja negeri Sodom itu: "Aku bersumpah demi TUHAN, Allah Yang Mahatinggi, Pencipta langit dan bumi:
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:
Aku tidak akan mengambil apa-apa dari kepunyaanmu itu, sepotong benang atau tali kasutpun tidak, supaya engkau jangan dapat berkata: Aku telah membuat Abram menjadi kaya.
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.
Kalau aku, jangan sekali-kali! Hanya apa yang telah dimakan oleh bujang-bujang ini dan juga bagian orang-orang yang pergi bersama-sama dengan aku, yakni Aner, Eskol dan Mamre, biarlah mereka itu mengambil bagiannya masing-masing."
