< 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.
Tañ’andro’i Amrafele, mpanjaka’ i Sinare, naho i Arioke mpanjaka’ i Elasare, naho i Kedorelaomere mpanjaka’ i Elame, vaho i Tidale mpanjaka’ o Goio;
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).
t’ie nifañotake amy Bera mpanjaka’ i Sedome iereo naho amy Birsà mpanjaka’ i Amorà naho amy Sinabe mpanjaka’ i Admà naho amy Sem’­evere mpanjaka’ o nte-Tsebio vaho amy mpanjaka’ i Bela (toe Tsoare).
3 All these in the second group joined forces in the Valley of Siddim (the Dead Sea valley).
Fonga nifanontoñe am-bavatane’ i Sidime (i Oñe-Siray) ao i mpanjaka rey.
4 They had been under the rule of Chedorlaomer for twelve years, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled against him.
Ie fa nitoroñe i Kedorelaomere folo taoñe ro’amby, le niola amy taom-paha-folo-telo ambiy.
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,
Ie tan-taom-paha folo‑efats’ ambi’ i Kedorelaomere, ie reketse i mpanjaka mitraok’ ama’e rey ro namo­tsake o nte-Rafào e Asterote-karnaime ao naho o nte-Zòzeo e Hame ao, naho o nte‑Emeo e Save-kiriataime ao
6 and the Horites in their hill country of Seir, all the way to El-paran, near the desert.
naho o nte-Khoreo am-bohibohi’ i Seire pak’ Eilparane añ’ olo’ i fatrambeiy ao,
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.
vaho nibalike nandoake e Ein-mispàte, (i Kadese izay) le fonga linafa’ iareo ty tane’ o nte-Amalekeo naho ty a o nte-Emore nimoneñe e Khatsatsone-tamareo.
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.
Nionjoñe mb’eo amy zao ty mpanjaka’ i Sedome, naho ty mpanjaka’ i Amorà, naho ty mpanjaka’ i Admà, naho ty mpanjaka’ i Tseboime, naho ty mpanjaka’ i Belà (toe i Tsoare), nilahatse hihotakotake am-bavatane’ i Sidime ao
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.
amy Kedoreaomere mpanjaka’ i Elame naho amy Tidale mpanjaka’ o Goio naho amy Amrafele mpanjaka’ i Sinare vaho amy Ariokhe mpanjaka’ i Elsara, ty mpanjaka efatse miatreke lime.
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.
Ie amy zao nitsitsike kadahan-tsolike mainte ty vava-tane’ i Sidime; aa naho nitrimban-day ty mpanjaka’ i Sedome naho i Amorà le nikorovok’ ao vaho nivongaritse mb’am-bohibohitse mb’eo o nisisao.
11 The invaders took from Sodom and Gomorrah all their possessions and food and left.
Aa le fonga finao’ o naha-reketseo ze vara’ i Sedome naho i Amorà naho ty mahakama’ iareo vaho nienga;
12 They also captured Lot, Abram's nephew, and his possessions, because he was living in Sodom.
aa ie niavotse le tinava’ iareo ka t’i Lote, ana-drahalahi’ i Avrame, nimoneñe e Sedome ao, naho o vara’eo.
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.
Teo ty niponiotse mb’ amy Avrame nte-Evre mb’eo nitalily; ie nimoneñe amo hatae ra’elahi’ i Mamrè nte-Amore, rahalahi’ i Eskole naho rahalahi’ i Anereo. Ie songa mpirimboñe amy Av­rame.
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.
Aa naho jinanji’ i Avrame te tsinepake i rahalahi’ey le kinoi’e o ajalahi’e 318 voa-oke, sinamake añ’akiba’eo vaho hinorìda’e pake Dane añe.
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.
Zinara’ i Avrame amy haleñey ondati’eo le zinevo’e vaho hinorìda’e pak’e Khobà an-kavia’ i Damesèk’ añe,
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.
naho nahere’e iaby i varay le nendese’e moly t’i Lote longo’e naho o vara’eo, naho o rakembao vaho ondatio.
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).
Ie nimpoly amy fanjamana’e i Kedoreaomere naho o mpanjaka mpiama’eoy t’i Avrame, le niakatse hifanalaka ama’e am-bava­tane’ i Save, toe Vavatanem-Panjaka, ty mpanjaka’ i Sedome.
18 Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought out bread and wine. He was a priest of the Most High God.
Le nañakatse mofo naho divay t’i Melkitsedeke, mpanjaka’ i Salème, Mpisoron’ Añahare Andin­di­mo­neñey,
19 He blessed Abram, telling him, “May Abram be blessed by the Most High God, Creator of heaven and earth.
le nitat’ aze ami’ty hoe: Ho tahien’ Añahare Abo-Tia, Andrianamboatse o likerañeo naho ty tane toy t’i Avrame.
20 May the Most High God be praised, who handed your enemies over to you.” Then Abram gave Melchizedek one tenth of everything.
Andriañeñe t’i Andrianañahare Mitiotiotse nanjotso o rafelahi’oo am-pità’oy. Le natolo’ i Avrame aze ty fahafolo’ ze he’e.
21 The king of Sodom told Abram, “Let me have the people back, and you can keep everything else for yourself.”
Nanao ty hoe amy zao ty mpanjaka’ i Sedome, Atoloro ahiko ondatio, le tano ho azo o varao.
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,
Fa hoe t’i Avrame amy mpanjaka’ i Sedomey, fa nonjoneko am-panta am’ Iehovà, Andrianañahare Andindimoneñey ty sirako,
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!’
t’ie tsy handrambe ndra fole ndra talin-kana ndra inoñ’ inoñ’ amo azoo, tsy mone hanoa’o ty hoe: Izaho ty naha-mpañarivo i Avrame,
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.”
naho tsy ze nikama’ o lahilahikoo naho ty anjara’ ondaty nindre lia amakoo—i Anere, naho i Eskole, naho i Mamrè; apoho sindre hangalake ty anjara’e irezay.
