< 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,
Y aconteció en aquellos días, que Amrafel rey de Sennaar, Arioc rey de Elasar, Codor-laomor rey de Elam, y Tadal rey de las gentes,
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).
Hicieron guerra contra Bara rey de Sodoma, y contra Bersa rey de Gomorra, y contra Senaab rey de Adama, y contra Semeber rey de Seboim, y contra el rey de Bala, la cual es Segor.
3 All these came together in the valley of Siddim (which is the Salt Sea).
Todos estos se juntaron en el valle de Siddim, que es el mar de sal.
4 For twelve years they were under the rule of Chedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year they put off his control.
Doce años habían servido a Codor-laomor, y a los trece años se levantaron.
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,
Y a los catorce años vino Codor-laomor, y los reyes que estaban con él, e hirieron a Rafaim en Astarot-carnaím, y a Zuzim en Ham y a Emim en Save-cariataim.
6 And the Horites in their mountain Seir, driving them as far as El-paran, which is near the waste land.
Y a los Horeos en el monte de Seir, hasta la llanura de Farán, que está junto al desierto.
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.
Y volvieron, y vinieron a En-mispat, que es Cádes, e hirieron todas las labranzas de los Amalecitas, y también al Amorreo, que habitaba en Hasasón-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,
Y salió el rey de Sodoma, y el rey de Gomorra, y el rey de Adama, y el rey de Seboim, y el rey de Bala, que es Segor, y ordenaron contra ellos batalla en el valle de Siddim:
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.
Es a saber, contra Codor-laomor rey de Elam, y Tadal rey de las gentes, y Amrafel rey de Sennaar, y Arioc rey de Elasar, cuatro reyes contra cinco.
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.
Y el valle de Siddim era lleno de pozos de betún: y huyeron el rey de Sodoma, y el de Gomorra, y cayeron allí: y los demás huyeron al monte.
11 And the four kings took all the goods and food from Sodom and Gomorrah and went on their way.
Y tomaron toda la hacienda de Sodoma y de Gomorra, y todas sus vituallas, y fuéronse.
12 And in addition they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who was living in Sodom, and all his goods.
Tomaron también a Lot, hijo del hermano de Abram, y a su hacienda, y fuéronse; porque él moraba en Sodoma.
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.
Y vino uno que escapó, y denunciólo a Abram Hebreo, que habitaba en el alcornocal de Mamré Amorreo, hermano de Escol, y hermano de Aner, los cuales estaban confederados con 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.
Y oyó Abram, que su hermano era cautivo, y armó sus criados, los criados de su casa, trescientos y diez y ocho, y siguióles hasta 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.
Y derramóse sobre ellos de noche él y sus siervos, e hirióles, y siguióles hasta Hoba, que está a la mano izquierda de Damasco.
16 And he got back all the goods, and Lot, his brother's son, with his goods and the women and the people.
Y volvió toda la hacienda, y también a Lot su hermano, y su hacienda volvió a traer, y también las mujeres y el pueblo.
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.
Y salió el rey de Sodoma a recibirle, volviendo él de herir a Codor-laomor y a los reyes que estaban con él, al valle de Save, que es el valle del rey.
18 And Melchizedek, king of Salem, the priest of the Most High God, took bread and wine,
Entonces Melquisedec, rey de Salem, sacó pan y vino, él cual era sacerdote del Dios altísimo.
19 And blessing him, said, May the blessing of the Most High God, maker of heaven and earth, be on Abram:
Y bendíjole, y dijo: Bendito sea Abram del Dios altísimo, poseedor de los cielos y de la tierra.
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.
Y bendito sea el Dios altísimo, que entregó tus enemigos en tu mano. Y él le dio los diezmos de todo.
21 And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the prisoners and take the goods for yourself.
Entonces el rey de Sodoma dijo a Abram: Dáme las personas, y toma para ti la hacienda.
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,
Y respondió Abram al rey de Sodoma: Mi mano he alzado a Jehová Dios altísimo, poseedor de los cielos y de la tierra,
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:
Que desde un hilo hasta la correa de un zapato, nada tomaré de todo lo que es tuyo, porque no digas: Yo enriquecí a Abram:
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.
Sacando solamente lo que comieron los mancebos, y la parte de los varones que fueron conmigo Aner, Escol, y Mamré: los cuales tomarán su parte.
