Genesis 14
1 At that time Amraphel was king of Shinar, and he allied himself with Arioch, king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of Goiim.
当暗拉非作示拿王，亚略作以拉撒王，基大老玛作以拦王，提达作戈印王的时候，
2 They attacked Bera, king of Sodom, Birsha, king of Gomorrah, Shinab, king of Admah, Shemeber, king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (otherwise known as Zoar).
他们都攻打所多玛王比拉、蛾摩拉王比沙、押玛王示纳、洗扁王善以别，和比拉王；比拉就是琐珥。
3 All these in the second group joined forces in the Valley of Siddim (the Dead Sea valley).
这五王都在西订谷会合；西订谷就是盐海。
4 They had been under the rule of Chedorlaomer for twelve years, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled against him.
他们已经事奉基大老玛十二年，到十三年就背叛了。
5 In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer invaded, along with the kings in his alliance. They defeated the Rephaites in Ashteroth-karnaim, the Zuzites in Ham, the Emites in Shaveh-kiriathaim,
十四年，基大老玛和同盟的王都来在亚特律·加宁，杀败了利乏音人，在哈麦杀败了苏西人，在沙微·基列亭杀败了以米人，
6 and the Horites in their hill country of Seir, all the way to El-paran, near the desert.
在何利人的西珥山杀败了何利人，一直杀到靠近旷野的伊勒·巴兰。
7 Then they swung back through and attacked En-mishpat (otherwise known as Kadesh) and conquered the whole country belonging to the Amalekites, as well as the Amorites who lived in Hazazon-tamar.
他们回到安·密巴，就是加低斯，杀败了亚玛力全地的人，以及住在哈洗逊·他玛的亚摩利人。
8 Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (otherwise known as Zoar) marched out and prepared for battle in the Valley of Siddim.
于是所多玛王、蛾摩拉王、押玛王、洗扁王，和比拉王（比拉就是琐珥）都出来，在西订谷摆阵，与他们交战，
9 They fought Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, Tidal, king of Goiim, Amraphel, king of Shinar, and Arioch, king of Ellasar—four kings on one side against five on the other.
就是与以拦王基大老玛、戈印王提达、示拿王暗拉非、以拉撒王亚略交战；乃是四王与五王交战。
10 There were many tar pits in the Valley of Siddim, and as the defeated kings of Sodom and Gomorrah ran away, some of their men fell into them while the rest ran to the hills.
西订谷有许多石漆坑。所多玛王和蛾摩拉王逃跑，有掉在坑里的，其余的人都往山上逃跑。
11 The invaders took from Sodom and Gomorrah all their possessions and food and left.
四王就把所多玛和蛾摩拉所有的财物，并一切的粮食都掳掠去了；
12 They also captured Lot, Abram's nephew, and his possessions, because he was living in Sodom.
又把亚伯兰的侄儿罗得和罗得的财物掳掠去了。当时罗得正住在所多玛。
13 But one of those captured escaped and went and told Abram the Hebrew what had happened. Abram was living by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, whose brothers were Eshcol and Aner. All of them were Abram's allies.
有一个逃出来的人告诉希伯来人亚伯兰；亚伯兰正住在亚摩利人幔利的橡树那里。幔利和以实各并亚乃都是弟兄，曾与亚伯兰联盟。
14 When Abram found out that his nephew had been captured, he called together 318 fighting men who had been born in his household and chased after them all the way to Dan.
亚伯兰听见他侄儿被掳去，就率领他家里生养的精练壮丁三百一十八人，直追到但，
15 There he divided his men into groups and attacked at night, defeating the enemy and chasing them as far as Hobah, north of Damascus.
便在夜间，自己同仆人分队杀败敌人，又追到大马士革左边的何把，
16 Abram recovered all that had been taken, including Lot and his possessions, and also brought back the women and others who had been captured.
将被掳掠的一切财物夺回来，连他侄儿罗得和他的财物，以及妇女、人民也都夺回来。
17 When Abram returned after defeating Chedorlaomer and his allies, the king of Sodom came out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (or Valley of the King).
亚伯兰杀败基大老玛和与他同盟的王回来的时候，所多玛王出来，在沙微谷迎接他；沙微谷就是王谷。
18 Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought out bread and wine. He was a priest of the Most High God.
又有撒冷王麦基洗德带着饼和酒出来迎接；他是至高 神的祭司。
19 He blessed Abram, telling him, “May Abram be blessed by the Most High God, Creator of heaven and earth.
他为亚伯兰祝福，说：“愿天地的主、至高的 神赐福与亚伯兰！
20 May the Most High God be praised, who handed your enemies over to you.” Then Abram gave Melchizedek one tenth of everything.
至高的 神把敌人交在你手里，是应当称颂的！”亚伯兰就把所得的拿出十分之一来，给麦基洗德。
21 The king of Sodom told Abram, “Let me have the people back, and you can keep everything else for yourself.”
所多玛王对亚伯兰说：“你把人口给我，财物你自己拿去吧！”
22 But Abram replied to the king of Sodom, “I raise my hand, making a solemn promise to the Lord, the Most High God, Creator of heaven and earth,
亚伯兰对所多玛王说：“我已经向天地的主—至高的 神耶和华起誓：
23 that I refuse to take anything belonging to you, not a single thread or a sandal strap. Otherwise you might claim, ‘It was me who made Abram rich!’
凡是你的东西，就是一根线、一根鞋带，我都不拿，免得你说：‘我使亚伯兰富足！’
24 I won't take anything except what my men have eaten, and the share for those who accompanied me—Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. Let them have their share.”
只有仆人所吃的，并与我同行的亚乃、以实各、幔利所应得的分，可以任凭他们拿去。”
