< Genesis 14 >

1 And it came to pass at that time, that Amraphel king of Sennaar, and Arioch king of Pontus, and Chodorlahomor king of the Elamites, and Thadal king of nations,
當時シナルの王アムラペル、エラサルの王アリオク、エラムの王ケダラオメルおよびゴイムの王テダル等
2 Made war against Bara king of Sodom, and against Bersa king of Gomorrha, and against Sennaab king of Adama, and against Semeber king of Seboim, and against the king of Bala, which is Segor.
ソドムの王ベラ、ゴモルの王ビルシア、アデマの王シナブ、ゼボイムの王セメベルおよびベラ(即ち今のゾアル)の王と戰ひをなせり
3 All these came together into the woodland vale, which now is the salt sea.
是等の五人の王皆結合てシデムの谷に至れり其處は今の鹽海なり
4 For they had served Chodorlahomor twelve years, and in the thirteenth year they revolted from him.
彼等は十二年ケダラオメルに事へ第十三年に叛けり
5 And in the fourteenth year came Chodorlahomor, and the kings that were with him: and they smote the Raphaim in Astarothcarnaim, and the Zuzim with them, and the Emim in Save of Cariathaim.
第十四年にケダラオメルおよび彼と偕なる王等來りてアシタロテカルナイムのレパイム人、ハムのズジ人、シヤベキリアタイムのエミ人
6 And the Chorreans in the mountains of Seir, even to the plains of Pharan, which is in the wilderness.
およびセイル山のホリ人を撃て曠野の傍なるエルパランに至り
7 And they returned, and came to the fountain of Misphat, the same is Cades: and they smote all the country of the Amalecites, and the Amorrhean that dwelt in Asasonthamar.
彼等歸りてエンミシパテ(即ち今のカデシ)に至りアマレク人の國を盡く撃又ハザゾンタマルに住るアモリ人を撃り
8 And the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrha, and the king of Adama, and the king of Seboim, and the king of Bala, which is Segor, went out: and they set themselves against them in battle array in the woodland vale:
爰にソドムの王ゴモラの王アデマの王ゼボイムの王およびベラ(即ち今のゾアル)の王出てシデムの谷にて彼等と戰ひを接たり
9 To wit, against Chodorlahomor king of the Elamites, and Thadal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Sennaar, and Arioch king of Pontus: four kings against five.
即ち彼五人の王等エラムの王ケダラオメル、ゴイムの王テダル、シナルの王アムラペル、エラサルの王アリオクの四人と戰へり
10 Now the woodland vale had many pits of slime. And the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrha turned their backs and were overthrown there: and they that remained fled to the mountain.
シデムの谷には地瀝靑の坑多かりしがソドムとゴモラの王等遁て其處に陷りぬ其餘の者は山に遁逃たり
11 And they took all the substance of the Sodomites, and Gomorrhites, and all their victuals, and went their way:
是に於て彼等ソドムとゴモラの諸の物と其諸の食料を取て去れり
12 And Lot also, the son of Abram’s brother, who dwelt in Sodom, and his substance.
彼等アブラムの姪ロトと其物を取て去り其は彼ソドムに住たればなり
13 And behold one that had escaped told Abram the Hebrew, who dwelt in the vale of Mambre the Amorrhite, the brother of Escol, and the brother of Aner: for these had made league with Abram.
茲に遁逃者來りてヘブル人アブラムに之を告たり時にアブラムはアモリ人マムレの橡林に住りマムレはエシコルの兄弟又アネルの兄弟なり是等はアブラムと契約を結べる者なりき
14 Which when Abram had heard, to wit, that his brother Lot was taken, he numbered of the servants born in his house, three hundred and eighteen well appointed: and pursued them to Dan.
アブラム其兄弟の擄にせられしを聞しかば其熟練したる家の子三百十八人を率ゐてダンまで追いたり
15 And dividing his company, he rushed upon them in the night: and defeated them, and pursued them as far as Hoba, which is on the left hand of Damascus.
其家臣を分ちて夜に乗じて彼等を攻め彼等を撃破りてダマスコの左なるホバまで彼等を追ゆけり
16 And he brought back all the substance, and Lot his brother, with his substance, the women also and the people.
アブラム斯諸の物を奪回し亦其兄弟ロトと其物および婦人と人民を取回せり
17 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after he returned from the slaughter of Chodorlahomor, and of the kings that were with him in the vale of Save, which is the king’s vale.
アブラム、ケダラオメルおよび彼と偕なる王等を撃破りて歸れる時ソドムの王シヤベの谷(即ち今の王の谷)にて彼を迎へたり
18 But Melchisedech the king of Salem, bringing forth bread and wine, for he was the priest of the most high God,
時にサレムの王メルキゼデク、パンと酒を携出せり彼は至高き神の祭司なりき
19 Blessed him, and said: Blessed be Abram by the most high God, who created heaven and earth.
彼アブラムを祝して言けるは願くは天地の主なる至高神アブラムを祝福みたまへ
20 And blessed be the most high God, by whose protection the enemies are in thy hands. And he gave him the tithes of all.
願くは汝の敵を汝の手に付したまひし至高神に稱譽あれとアブラム乃ち彼に其諸の物の什分の一を饋れり
21 And the king of Sodom said to Abram: Give me the persons, and the rest take to thyself.
茲にソドムの王アブラムに言けるは人を我に與へ物を汝に取れと
22 And he answered him: I lift up my hand to the Lord God the most high, the possessor of heaven and earth,
アブラム、ソドムの王に言けるは我天地の主なる至高き神ヱホバを指て言ふ
23 That from the very woof thread unto the shoe latchet, I will not take of any things that are thine, lest thou say I have enriched Abram:
一本の絲にても鞋帶にても凡て汝の所屬は我取ざるべし恐くは汝我アブラムを富しめたりと言ん
24 Except such things as the young men have eaten, and the shares of the men that came with me, Aner, Escol, and Mambre: these shall take their shares.
但少者の旣に食ひたる物および我と偕に行し人アネル、エシコルおよびマムレの分を除くべし彼等には彼等の分を取しめよ
