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.
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 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).
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 in the second group joined forces in the Valley of Siddim (the Dead Sea valley).
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 They had been under the rule of Chedorlaomer for twelve years, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled against 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 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,
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 Horites in their hill country of Seir, all the way to El-paran, near the desert.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
シデムの谷には地瀝青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 The invaders took from Sodom and Gomorrah all their possessions and food and left.
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 They also captured Lot, Abram's nephew, and his possessions, because he was living in Sodom.
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 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.
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 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.
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 There he divided his men into groups and attacked at night, defeating the enemy and chasing them as far as Hobah, north 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 Abram recovered all that had been taken, including Lot and his possessions, and also brought back the women and others who had been captured.
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 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).
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 Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought out bread and wine. He was a 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 He blessed Abram, telling him, “May Abram be blessed by the Most High God, Creator of 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 May the Most High God be praised, who handed your enemies over to you.” Then Abram gave Melchizedek one tenth of everything.
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餽れり
21 The king of Sodom told Abram, “Let me have the people back, and you can keep everything else for yourself.”
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 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,
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 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!’
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 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.”
但少者の既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
