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,
Na, i nga ra o Amarapera, Kingi o Hinara, o Arioka, kingi o Eratara, o Keroraoma, kingi o Erama, o Tirara hoki, kingi o Korimi;
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.
Ka whawhai enei ki a Pera, kingi o Horoma, ratou ko Pireta, kingi o Komora, ko Hinapa, kingi o Arema, ko Hemepera, kingi o Tepoimi, ko te kingi hoki o Pera, ara o Toara.
3 All these were joined in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.
I huihui katoa enei ki te raorao i Hirimi, ara ki te Moana Tote.
4 Twelve years had they served Chedorlaomer; and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
Kotahi tekau ma rua nga tau i mahi ai ratou ki a Keroraoma, a i te kotahi tekau ma toru o nga tau ka whakakeke ratou.
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,
Na i te tekau ma wha o nga tau ka haere mai a Keroraoma, ratou ko nga kingi i whakauru ki a ia, a patua iho e ratou nga Repaima i Ahateroto Karanaima, ratou ko nga Tutimi i Hama me nga Emime i Hawe Kiriataima,
6 and the Horites on their mount Seir, to El-Paran, which is by the wilderness.
Me nga Hori i to ratou maunga, i Heira, a tae noa ki Ereparana, ki te taha o te koraha.
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.
Na ka hoki ratou, a ka tae ki Enimihipata, ara ki Karehe, a patua katoatia ana e ratou te whenua o nga Amareki, ratou ko nga Amori i noho ra i Hatetonatamara.
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,
Na ka puta atu te kingi o Horoma, ratou ko te kingi o Komora, ko te kingi o Arema, ko te kingi o Tepoimi, me te kingi o Pera, ara o Toara; a ka turia e ratou he pakanga ki a ratou ki te raorao i Hirimi;
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.
Ki a Keroraoma, kingi o Erama, ki a Tirara, kingi o Koimi, ki a Amarapera, kingi o Hinara, ratou ko Arioka, kingi o Eratara, tokowha enei kingi, tokorima hoki era.
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.
Na, ki tonu te raorao i Hirimi i te poka uku; na ka whati nga kingi o Horoma raua ko Komora, a ka hinga ki reira; a rere ana nga morehu ki te maunga.
11 And they took all the property of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and departed.
Na murua ana e ratou nga taonga katoa o Horoma, o Komora, me a ratou kai katoa, a haere ana.
12 And they took Lot and his property, Abram's brother's son, and departed. For he dwelt in Sodom.
I mauria ano e ratou a Rota, te tama a te teina o Aperama, me ona taonga, a haere ana; i Horoma hoki ia e noho ana.
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.
Na ka tae he morehu, ka korero ki a Aperama Hiperu; i te noho hoki ia i nga oki o Mamere Amori, teina o Ehekora, he teina ia no Anera: kotahi ano to ratou whakaaro ko Aperama.
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.
A, i te rongonga o Aperama, kua hereherea atu tona iramutu, takiritia ana e ia ana tangata mohio, nga mea i whanau ki tona whare, e toru rau kotahi tekau ma waru, a whaia ana ratou ki Rana.
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.
Na wahia ana ratou ko ana tangata kia rua nga matua, hei whakaeke mo ratou i te po, a patua ana ratou e ia, whaia ana, a tae noa ki Hopaha, ki te taha ki maui o Ramahiku.
16 And he brought back all the property, and brought again his brother Lot and his property, and the women also, and the people.
A whakahokia mai ana e ia nga taonga katoa, whakahokia mai ana ano hoki tona iramutu, a Rota, me ona taonga, me nga wahine ano hoki, me nga tangata.
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.
Na ka puta mai te kingi o Horoma ki te whakatau i a ia i tona hokinga mai i te patu i a Keroraoma ratou ko ona hoa, ko nga kingi ki te raorao o Hawe, ara ki te Raorao o te Kingi.
18 And Melchisedec king of Salem brought out bread and wine. And he was priest of the Most High God.
A i maua mai e Merekihereke, e te kingi o Harema, he taro, he waina: he tohunga ano hoki ia no te Atua, no te Runga Rawa.
19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the Most High God, possessor of heavens and earth.
Na ka manaaki ia i a ia, ka mea, Kia manaakitia a Aperama e te Atua, e te Runga Rawa, nona nei te rangi me te whenua:
20 And blessed be the Most High God, who has delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him the tenth of all.
Kia manaakitia ano te Atua, te Runga Rawa, nana nei i tuku mai ou hoariri ki tou ringa. A ka hoatu e ia ki a ia nga whakatekau o nga mea katoa.
21 And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the souls, and take the property for thyself.
Na ka mea te kingi o Horoma ki a Aperama, Homai nga tangata ki ahau, ko nga taonga ia tangohia mou.
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,
Ano ra ko Aperama ki te kingi o Horoma, Kua totoro atu toku ringa ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua, ki te Runga Rawa, nona nei te rangi me te whenua;
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;
E kore ahau e tango ahakoa he miro, ahakoa he here no te hu, i tetahi mea ranei au, kei mea koe, naku a Aperama i whai taonga ai:
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.
Kati ano i a nga taitama i kai ai, me te wahi a nga tangata i haere tahi nei matou, a Anera, ratou ko Ehekora, ko Mamere; ma ratou e tango te wahi i a ratou.
