Genesis 14
1 And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel the king of Shinar, Arioch the king of El-lasar, Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and Tidal the king of nations,
Factum est autem in illo tempore, ut Amraphel rex Senaar, et Arioch rex Ponti, et Chodorlahomor rex Elamitarum, et Thadal rex Gentium
2 [that] they made war with Bera the king of Sodom, and with Birsha the king of Gomorrah, Shinab the king of Admah, and Shemeber the king of Zeboim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.
inirent bellum contra Bara regem Sodomorum, et contra Bersa regem Gomorrhæ, et contra Sennaab regem Adamæ, et contra Semeber regem Seboim, contraque regem Balæ, ipsa est Segor.
3 All these were joined in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.
Omnes hi convenerunt in vallem Silvestrem, quæ nunc est mare salis.
4 Twelve years had they served Chedorlaomer; and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
Duodecim enim annis servierunt Chodorlahomor, et tertiodecimo anno recesserunt ab eo.
5 And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh-Kirjathaim,
Igitur quartodecimo anno venit Chodorlahomor, et reges qui erant cum eo: percusseruntque Raphaim in Astarothcarnaim, et Zuzim cum eis, et Emim in Save Cariathaim,
6 and the Horites on their mount Seir, to El-Paran, which is by the wilderness.
et Chorræos in montibus Seir, usque ad Campestria Pharan, quæ est in solitudine.
7 And they returned, and came to En-mishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites that dwelt at Hazazon-Tamar.
Reversique sunt, et venerunt ad fontem Misphat, ipsa est Cades: et percusserunt omnem regionem Amalecitarum, et Amorrhæum, qui habitabat in Asasonthamar.
8 And the king of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar, went out, and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim,
Et egressi sunt rex Sodomorum, et rex Gomorrhæ, rexque Adamæ, et rex Seboim, necnon et rex Balæ, quæ est Segor: et direxerunt aciem contra eos in valle Silvestri:
9 with Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and Tidal the king of nations, and Amraphel the king of Shinar, and Arioch the king of Ellasar — four kings with the five.
scilicet adversus Chodorlahomor regem Elamitarum, et Thadal regem gentium, et Amraphel regem Sennaar, et Arioch regem Ponti: quatuor reges adversus quinque.
10 And the vale of Siddim was full of pits of asphalt. And the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there: and they that remained fled to the mountain.
Vallis autem Silvestris habebat puteos multos bituminis. Itaque rex Sodomorum, et Gomorrhæ, terga verterunt, cecideruntque ibi: et qui remanserant, fugerunt ad montem.
11 And they took all the property of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and departed.
Tulerunt autem omnem substantiam Sodomorum et Gomorrhæ, et universa quæ ad cibum pertinent, et abierunt:
12 And they took Lot and his property, Abram's brother's son, and departed. For he dwelt in Sodom.
necnon et Lot et substantiam eius, filium fratris Abram, qui habitabat in Sodomis.
13 And one who had escaped came and told Abram the Hebrew. And he dwelt by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, the brother of Eshcol, and the brother of Aner. And these were Abram's allies.
Et ecce unus, qui evaserat, nunciavit Abram Hebræo, qui habitabat in convalle Mambre Amorrhæi fratris Escol, et fratris Aner: hi enim pepigerant fœdus cum Abram.
14 And Abram heard that his brother was taken captive; and he led out his trained [servants], born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued [them] as far as Dan.
Quod cum audisset Abram, captum videlicet Lot fratrem suum, numeravit expeditos vernaculos suos trecentos decem, et octo: et persecutus est usque Dan.
15 And he divided himself against them by night, he and his servants, and smote them, and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is to the left of Damascus.
Et divisis sociis, irruit super eos nocte: percussitque eos, et persecutus est eos usque Hoba, quæ est ad lævam Damasci.
16 And he brought back all the property, and brought again his brother Lot and his property, and the women also, and the people.
Reduxitque omnem substantiam, et Lot fratrem suum cum substantia illius, mulieres quoque et populum.
17 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after he had returned from smiting Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, into the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's valley.
Egressus est autem rex Sodomorum in occursum eius postquam reversus est a cæde Chodorlahomor, et regum qui cum eo erant in valle Save, quæ est vallis regis.
18 And Melchisedec king of Salem brought out bread and wine. And he was priest of the Most High God.
At vero Melchisedech rex Salem, proferens panem et vinum, erat enim Sacerdos Dei altissimi,
19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the Most High God, possessor of heavens and earth.
benedixit ei, et ait: Benedictus Abram Deo excelso, qui creavit cælum et terram:
20 And blessed be the Most High God, who has delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him the tenth of all.
et benedictus Deus excelsus, quo protegente, hostes in manibus tuis sunt. Et dedit ei decimas ex omnibus.
21 And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the souls, and take the property for thyself.
Dixit autem rex Sodomorum ad Abram: Da mihi animas, cetera tolle tibi.
22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lifted up my hand to Jehovah, the Most High God, possessor of heavens and earth,
Qui respondit ei: Levo manum meam ad Dominum Deum excelsum possessorem cæli et terræ,
23 if from a thread even to a sandal-thong, yes, if of all that is thine, I take [anything]...; that thou mayest not say, I have made Abram rich;
quod a filo subtegminis usque ad corigiam caligæ, non accipiam ex omnibus quæ tua sunt, ne dicas: Ego ditavi Abram:
24 save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men that went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre, let them take their portion.
exceptis his, quæ comederunt iuvenes, et partibus virorum, qui venerunt mecum, Aner, Eschol, et Mambre: isti accipient partes suas.
