< Genesis 14 >
1 Now it happened in that time that Amraphel, king of Shinar, and Arioch, king of Pontus, and Chedorlaomer, king of the Elamites, and Tidal, king of the Nations,
Hatnae tueng dawk Shinar siangpahrang Amraphel, Ellasar siangpahrang Ariyawk, Elam siangpahrang Kedorlaomer hoi Goiim siangpahrang Tidal ti naw hoi,
2 went to war against Bera, king of Sodom, and against Birsha, king of Gomorrah, and against Shinab, king of Admah, and against Shemeber, king of Zeboiim, and against the king of Bela, that is Zoar.
Sodom siangpahrang Bera, Gomorrah siangpahrang Birsha, Admah siangpahrang Shinab, Zebiim siangpahrang Shemeber, Zoar siangpahrang Bela tinaw taran a kâtuk awh.
3 All these came together in the wooded valley, which is now the Sea of Salt.
Ahnimanaw pueng teh palawi tui tie Siddim yawn dawk a kamkhueng awh.
4 For they had served Chedorlaomer for twelve years, and in the thirteenth year they withdrew from him.
Kum 12 touh thung Kedorlaomer koe san lah ao awh teh, kum 13 nae dawk teh a tuk awh.
5 Therefore, in the fourteenth year, Chedorlaomer arrived, and the kings who were with him. And they struck the Rephaim at Ashteroth of the two horns, and the Zuzim with them, and the Emim at Shaveh-Kiriathaim.
Kum 14 nae dawk teh Kedorlaomer ni ama koe lah kambawng e siangpahrangnaw hoi a tho awh teh, Ashterothkarnaim kho dawk Rephaim taminaw, Ham kho dawk Zuzim taminaw, Kiriathaim koe Emim taminaw,
6 and the Chorreans in the mountains of Seir, even to the plains of Paran, which is in the wilderness.
Seir mon dawk Khori taminaw hoi thingyei yawn teng kaawm e Elparan kho totouh a thei awh.
7 And they returned and arrived at the fountain of Mishpat, which is Kadesh. And they struck the entire region of the Amalekites, and the Amorites who dwelt in Hazazontamar.
Hahoi bout a ban awh teh Kadesh ram Enmishpat kho dawk a pha awh navah, Amalek ram dawk kaawm e tami pueng, Hazezontamar kho dawk kaawm e Amor taminaw hai koung a thei awh.
8 And the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and indeed the king of Bela, which is Zoar, went forth. And they directed their point against them in the wooded valley,
Hathnukkhu Sodom siangpahrang, Gomorrah siangpahrang, Admah siangpahrang, Zeboiim siangpahrang hoi Bela siangpahrang, tinaw a cei awh teh, Siddim yawn dawk a kâtuk awh hanelah a kamkhueng awh.
9 namely, against Chedorlaomer, king of the Elamites, and Tidal, king of the Nations, and Amraphel, king of Shinar, and Arioch, king of Pontus: four kings against five.
Hottelah, Elam siangpahrang Kedorlaomer, Goiim siangpahrang Tidal, Shinar siangpahrang Amraphel, Ellasar siangpahrang Aryawk, ahnimanaw pali touh ni siangpahrang panga touh a tuk awh.
10 Now the wooded valley had many pits of bitumen. And so the king of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah turned back and they fell there. And those who remained, fled to the mountain.
Siddim yawn teh tuithaw dui ka cawt e tangkawmnaw ao dawkvah, Sodom hoi Gomorrah siangpahrang teh a yawng roi, a tangawn te tangkom dawk a bo teh alouknaw teh mon lah a yawng.
11 Then they took all the substance of the Sodomites and the Gomorrhites, and all that pertained to food, and they went away,
Hatdawkvah, Sodom hoi Gomorrah kho dawk kaawm e hnopai pueng, canei kawi kaawm pueng a la awh teh a ban awh.
12 along with both Lot, the son of Abram’s brother, who lived in Sodom, and his substance.
Sodom kho dawk kaawm e Abram e a hmau e capa Lot hoi a hnopai pueng hai koung a la awh.
13 And behold, one who had escaped reported it to Abram the Hebrew, who lived in the steep valley of Mamre the Amorite, who was the brother of Eshcol, and the brother of Aner. For these had formed an agreement with Abram.
Hote runae dawk hoi ka hlout e tami buet touh a tho teh, Hebru tami Abram koe a dei pouh. Ahni teh Amor tami Mamre e kathenkungnaw teng ao. Mamre teh Eskol hoi Aner e hmau doeh. Ahnimanaw teh Abram hoi cungtalah kambawng awh e doeh.
14 When Abram had heard this, namely, that his brother Lot had been taken captive, he numbered three hundred and eighteen of his own armed men and he went in pursuit all the way to Dan.
Abram ni a hmau e capa hah san hanelah a man awh toe tie a thai navah, ama im ka khe ni teh a cangkhai e tami 318 touh a hrawi teh, Dan kho totouh a pâlei.
15 And dividing his company, he rushed upon them in the night. And he struck them and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.
Khohmo navah, a hrawi e taminaw a kapek teh a tuk sak Damaskas atunglah kaawm e Hobah kho totouh a pâlei.
16 And he brought back all the substance, and Lot his brother, with his substance, likewise the women and the people.
A ceikhai e hnopai pueng, a hmau e capa Lot hoi a hnopai pueng napuinaw hoi a taminaw bout a bankhai.
17 Then the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after he returned from the slaughter at Chedorlaomer, and the kings who were with him at the valley of Shaveh, which is the valley of the king.
Khedorlaomer hoi ama koe kaawm e siangpahrangnaw koung a thei hnukkhu a ban navah, Sodom siangpahrang teh Shaveh yawn dawk Abram dawn hanelah a tho. (Shaveh yawn teh siangpahrang yawn doeh).
18 Then in truth, Melchizedek, the king of Salem, brought forth bread and wine, for he was a priest of the Most High God;
Salem siangpahrang Melkhizedek ni vaiyei hoi misurtui a sin. (Ahni teh ka rasang poung e Cathut e vaihma doeh).
19 he blessed him, and he said: “Blessed be Abram by the Most High God, who created heaven and earth.
Hahoi, Abram yawhawinae a poe teh, kalvan hoi talai katawnkung ka rasang poung e Abram Cathut teh yawhawinae awm seh.
20 And blessed be the Most High God, through whose protection the enemies are in your hands.” And he gave him tithes from everything.
Na tarannaw na kut dawk na kapoekung ka rasang poung e Cathut teh yawhawinae awm seh telah ati. Abram ni hai hnopai a tawn e pueng dawk hoi pung hra pung touh a poe.
21 Then the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me these souls, and take the rest for yourself.”
Sodom siangpahrang ni Abram koevah taminaw teh kai na poe, hatei hnopainaw teh lat yawkaw telah atipouh.
22 And he responded to him: “I lift up my hand to the Lord God, the Most High, the Possessor of heaven and earth,
Hatei Abram ni Sodom siangpahrang koe ralui buet touh hoi khokkhawm rui buet touh boehai nang koe ka lat mahoeh,
23 that from one thread within a blanket, even to a single shoelace, I will not take anything from that which is yours, lest you say, ‘I have enriched Abram,’
telah kalvan hoi talai katawnkung Jehovah, ka rasang poung e Cathut koe ka kut ka dâw toe. Telah hoehpawiteh Abram teh kai ni ka bawi sak e doeh na tet payon vaih.
24 except that which the young men have eaten, and the shares for the men who came with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. These will take their shares.”
Thoundounnaw ni a canei e hoi ka hrawi e ka taminaw ni a coe hane hloilah teh banghai ka lat mahoeh. Aner, Eshkol hoi Mamre ni a coe awh e teh ama ni lat awh naseh, telah atipouh.
