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,

Pea naʻe hoko ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻAmilafeli ko e tuʻi ʻo Saina, mo ʻAlioke ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIlasa, mo Kitaleoma. Ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIlami, mo Titale ko e tuʻi ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga;

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.

Naʻa nau tau mo Pila ko e tuʻi ʻo Sotoma, mo Pilisa ko e tuʻi ʻo Komola, mo Sinape ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAtima, mo Semipa ko e tuʻi ʻo Sepoimi, mo e tuʻi ʻo Pila ʻaia ʻoku ui ko Soa.

3 All these were joined in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.

Naʻe kātoa fakataha ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Sitimi, ʻaia ko e tahi māsima.

4 Twelve years had they served Chedorlaomer; and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.

Naʻa nau tauhi kia Kitaleoma ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma ua, pea nau angatuʻu ʻi hono hongofulu ma tolu ʻoe taʻu.

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,

Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Kitaleoma ʻi hono hongofulu ma fā ʻoe taʻu, mo e ngaahi tuʻi naʻe ʻiate ia, pea taaʻi ʻae kakai Lifeime ʻi ʻAsitelote Kaneime, mo e kakai Susi ʻi Hami, mo e kakai Imime ʻi Seva Kiliateimi,

6 and the Horites on their mount Seir, to El-Paran, which is by the wilderness.

Mo e kau Hoa ʻi honau moʻunga ko Seia, ʻo aʻu ki ʻEli-Pelani, ʻaia ʻoku ofi ki he toafa.

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.

Pea naʻa nau liu mai, ʻo hoko ki ʻEni-Misipate, ʻaia ko Ketesi, ʻo nau taaʻi ʻae fonua kotoa pē ʻoe kakai ʻAmaleki, mo e kakai ʻAmoli foki, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Hesisone Tamali.

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,

Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae tuʻi ʻo Sotoma, mo e tuʻi ʻo Komola, mo e tuʻi ʻo ʻAtima, mo e tuʻi ʻo Sepoime, mo e tuʻi ʻo Pila (ʻa ia ko Soa; ) pea nau tali tau kiate kinautolu ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Sitimi;

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.

Kia Kitaleoma ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIlami, mo Titale ko e tuʻi ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga, mo ʻAmilafeli ko e tuʻi ʻo Saina, mo ʻAlioke ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIlasa; ko e tuʻi ʻe toko fā ki he toko nima.

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.

Pea naʻe fonu ʻae teleʻa ʻo Sitimi ʻi he ngaahi luo kelepulu: pea naʻe hola ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Sotoma mo Komola pea hinga ʻi ai; pea ko kinautolu naʻe toe naʻa nau hola ki he moʻunga.

11 And they took all the property of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and departed.

Pea naʻa nau veteki ʻae koloa kotoa pē ʻo Sotoma mo Komola, mo e meʻakai kotoa pē ʻi ai, pea nau ʻalu.

12 And they took Lot and his property, Abram's brother's son, and departed. For he dwelt in Sodom.

Pea naʻa nau ʻave ʻa Lote, ko e foha ʻoe tokoua ʻo ʻEpalame, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Sotoma, mo ʻene ngaahi meʻa, pea nau ʻalu.

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.

Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae tokotaha naʻe hao ʻo fakahā kia ʻEpalame ko e Hepelū; he naʻe nofo ia ʻi he potu tokalelei ʻo Mamili, ko e tangata ʻAmoli, ko e tokoua ʻo ʻEsikoli, mo e tokoua ʻo ʻAneli; pea naʻa nau kau taha pe mo ʻEpalame.

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.

Pea kuo fanongo ʻa ʻEpalame kuo ʻave pōpula ʻa hono kāinga, pea ne tuku ʻae mahafutau ki hono kau nofoʻanga naʻe tupu ʻi hono fale, ko e toko tolungeau mo e toko hongofulu ma toko valu, pea ne tuli ʻakinautolu ki Tani.

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.

Pea ne vahevahe ʻakinautolu, ʻaia mo hono kau nofoʻanga ʻi he poʻuli, pea ne teʻia ʻakinautolu, ʻo ne tuli ʻakinautolu ki Hopa, ʻaia ʻoku tuʻu ki he toʻohema ʻo Tamasikusi.

16 And he brought back all the property, and brought again his brother Lot and his property, and the women also, and the people.

Pea naʻa ne toe maʻu ʻae koloa kotoa pē, pea ne toe ʻomi ʻa hono kāinga ko Lote, mo ʻene ngaahi meʻa mo e kau fefine mo e kakai.

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.

Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae tuʻi ʻo Sotoma ke fakafetaulaki kia ʻEpalame ʻi heʻene liu mai mei he taaʻi ʻa Kitaleoma mo e ngaahi tuʻi, naʻe ʻiate ia ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Seve, ʻaia ko e teleʻa ʻoe tuʻi.

18 And Melchisedec king of Salem brought out bread and wine. And he was priest of the Most High God.

Pea ʻomi ʻe Melekiseteki ko e tuʻi ʻo Selemi ʻae mā mo e uaine: pea ko e taulaʻeiki ia ʻoe ʻOtua fungani māʻolunga.

19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the Most High God, possessor of heavens and earth.

Pea naʻa ne tāpuaki ia ʻo pehē, “ʻOku monūʻia ʻa ʻEpalame, ʻi he ʻOtua fungani māʻolunga ʻaia ʻoku ʻoʻona ʻae langi mo māmani.

20 And blessed be the Most High God, who has delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him the tenth of all.

Pea ke monūʻia mo e ʻOtua fungani māʻolunga, ʻaia kuo ne tuku ho ngaahi fili ki ho nima. Pea naʻa ne tukuhau kiate ia, ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē.”

21 And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the souls, and take the property for thyself.

Pea pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Sotoma kia ʻEpalame, “Tuku mai kiate au ʻae kakai, pea ke toʻo maʻau ʻae ngaahi meʻa.”

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,

Pea talaange ʻe ʻEpalame ki he tuʻi ʻo Sotoma, “Naʻaku hiki hoku nima kia Sihova, ko e ʻOtua fungani māʻolunga, ʻoku ʻoʻona ʻae langi, mo māmani,

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;

Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te u toʻo ha foʻi lou filo pe ha nonoʻo ʻoe topuvaʻe, pea ʻe ʻikai te u toʻo ha meʻa ʻe taha meiate koe, telia naʻa pehē ʻe koe, ‘Kuo u fakakoloaʻia ʻa ʻEpalame.’

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.

Ka ko e meʻa kuo kai ʻe he kau talavou, pea mo e ʻinasi ki he kau tangata naʻa mau o mo au, ko ʻAneli, mo ʻEsikoli, mo Mamili; tuku ke nau toʻo honau ʻinasi.”
