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,
那時史納爾王阿默辣斐耳，厄拉撒爾王阿黎約客，厄蘭王革多爾老默爾，哥因王提達耳，
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.
興兵攻擊索多瑪王貝辣，哈摩辣王彼爾沙，阿德瑪王史納布，責波殷王舍默貝爾及貝拉即左哈爾王。
3 All these came together in the wooded valley, which is now the Sea of Salt.
那些王子會合於息丁山谷，即今日的鹽海。
4 For they had served Chedorlaomer for twelve years, and in the thirteenth year they withdrew from him.
他們十二年之久隸屬於革多爾老默爾，在十三年上就背叛了。
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.
在十四年上，革多爾老默爾率領與他聯盟的君王前來，在阿市塔特卡爾那殷擊敗了勒法因，在哈木擊敗了組斤，在克黎雅塔殷平原擊敗了厄明，
6 and the Chorreans in the mountains of Seir, even to the plains of Paran, which is in the wilderness.
在曷黎人的色依爾山擊敗了曷黎人，一直殺到靠近曠野的厄耳帕蘭；
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.
然後回軍轉到恩米市帕特，即卡德士，征服了阿瑪肋克人的全部領土，也征服了住在哈匝宗塔瑪爾的阿摩黎人。
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,
索多瑪王哈摩辣王，阿德瑪王，責波殷王和貝拉即左哈爾王於是出來，在息丁山谷列陣，
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.
與厄蘭王革多爾老默爾，哥因王提達耳，史納爾王阿漠辣斐耳和厄拉撒爾王阿黎約客交戰：四個王子敵對五個王子。
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.
息丁山谷遍地是瀝青坑；索多瑪王和哈摩辣王逃跑時都跌在坑裏；其餘的人都逃到山裏去了。
11 Then they took all the substance of the Sodomites and the Gomorrhites, and all that pertained to food, and they went away,
那四個王子劫走了索多瑪和哈摩辣所有的財物和一切食糧，
12 along with both Lot, the son of Abram’s brother, who lived in Sodom, and his substance.
連亞巴郎兄弟的兒子羅特和他的財物也帶走了，因為那時他正住在索多瑪。
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.
有個逃出的人跑來，將這事告訴了希伯來人亞巴郎，他那時住在阿摩黎人瑪默勒的橡樹區；這阿摩黎人原是亞巴郎的盟友厄市苛耳和阿乃爾的兄弟。
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.
亞巴郎一聽說他的親人被人擄去，遂率領家生的步兵三百一十八人，直追至丹。
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.
夜間又和自己的僕人分隊襲擊，將他們擊敗，直追至大馬士革以北的曷巴，
16 And he brought back all the substance, and Lot his brother, with his substance, likewise the women and the people.
奪回了所有的財物，連他的親屬羅特和他的財物，以及婦女和人民都奪回來了。
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.
亞巴郎擊敗革多老默爾和與他聯盟的王子回來時，索多瑪王出來，到沙委山谷，即「君王山谷」迎接他。
18 Then in truth, Melchizedek, the king of Salem, brought forth bread and wine, for he was a priest of the Most High God;
撒冷王默基瑟德也帶了餅酒來，他是至高者天主的司祭，
19 he blessed him, and he said: “Blessed be Abram by the Most High God, who created heaven and earth.
祝福他說：「願亞巴郎蒙受天地的主宰，至高者天主的祝福!
20 And blessed be the Most High God, through whose protection the enemies are in your hands.” And he gave him tithes from everything.
願將你的敵人交於你手中的至高者的天主受讚美! 」亞巴郎遂將所得的，拿出十分之一，給了默基瑟德。
21 Then the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me these souls, and take the rest for yourself.”
索多瑪王對亞巴郎說：「請你將人交給我，財物你都拿去罷! 」
22 And he responded to him: “I lift up my hand to the Lord God, the Most High, the Possessor of heaven and earth,
亞巴郎卻對索多瑪王說：「我向上主、至高者天主、天地的主宰舉手起誓：
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,’
凡屬於你的，連一根線，一根鞋帶，我也不拿，免得你說：我使亞巴郎發了財。
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.”
除僕從吃用了的以外，我什麼也不要；至於與我同行的人阿乃爾、厄市苛耳和瑪默勒所應得的一分，應讓他們拿去。」
