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.
Y aconteció en aquellos días, que Amrafel rey de Sennaar, Arioc rey de Elasar, Codor-laomor rey de Elam, y Tadal rey de las gentes,
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).
Hicieron guerra contra Bara rey de Sodoma, y contra Bersa rey de Gomorra, y contra Senaab rey de Adama, y contra Semeber rey de Seboim, y contra el rey de Bala, la cual es Segor.
3 All these in the second group joined forces in the Valley of Siddim (the Dead Sea valley).
Todos estos se juntaron en el valle de Siddim, que es el mar de sal.
4 They had been under the rule of Chedorlaomer for twelve years, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled against him.
Doce años habían servido a Codor-laomor, y a los trece años se levantaron.
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,
Y a los catorce años vino Codor-laomor, y los reyes que estaban con él, e hirieron a Rafaim en Astarot-carnaím, y a Zuzim en Ham y a Emim en Save-cariataim.
6 and the Horites in their hill country of Seir, all the way to El-paran, near the desert.
Y a los Horeos en el monte de Seir, hasta la llanura de Farán, que está junto al desierto.
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.
Y volvieron, y vinieron a En-mispat, que es Cádes, e hirieron todas las labranzas de los Amalecitas, y también al Amorreo, que habitaba en Hasasón-tamar.
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.
Y salió el rey de Sodoma, y el rey de Gomorra, y el rey de Adama, y el rey de Seboim, y el rey de Bala, que es Segor, y ordenaron contra ellos batalla en el valle de Siddim:
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.
Es a saber, contra Codor-laomor rey de Elam, y Tadal rey de las gentes, y Amrafel rey de Sennaar, y Arioc rey de Elasar, cuatro reyes contra cinco.
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.
Y el valle de Siddim era lleno de pozos de betún: y huyeron el rey de Sodoma, y el de Gomorra, y cayeron allí: y los demás huyeron al monte.
11 The invaders took from Sodom and Gomorrah all their possessions and food and left.
Y tomaron toda la hacienda de Sodoma y de Gomorra, y todas sus vituallas, y fuéronse.
12 They also captured Lot, Abram's nephew, and his possessions, because he was living in Sodom.
Tomaron también a Lot, hijo del hermano de Abram, y a su hacienda, y fuéronse; porque él moraba en Sodoma.
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.
Y vino uno que escapó, y denunciólo a Abram Hebreo, que habitaba en el alcornocal de Mamré Amorreo, hermano de Escol, y hermano de Aner, los cuales estaban confederados con Abram.
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.
Y oyó Abram, que su hermano era cautivo, y armó sus criados, los criados de su casa, trescientos y diez y ocho, y siguióles hasta Dan.
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.
Y derramóse sobre ellos de noche él y sus siervos, e hirióles, y siguióles hasta Hoba, que está a la mano izquierda de Damasco.
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.
Y volvió toda la hacienda, y también a Lot su hermano, y su hacienda volvió a traer, y también las mujeres y el pueblo.
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).
Y salió el rey de Sodoma a recibirle, volviendo él de herir a Codor-laomor y a los reyes que estaban con él, al valle de Save, que es el valle del rey.
18 Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought out bread and wine. He was a priest of the Most High God.
Entonces Melquisedec, rey de Salem, sacó pan y vino, él cual era sacerdote del Dios altísimo.
19 He blessed Abram, telling him, “May Abram be blessed by the Most High God, Creator of heaven and earth.
Y bendíjole, y dijo: Bendito sea Abram del Dios altísimo, poseedor de los cielos y de la tierra.
20 May the Most High God be praised, who handed your enemies over to you.” Then Abram gave Melchizedek one tenth of everything.
Y bendito sea el Dios altísimo, que entregó tus enemigos en tu mano. Y él le dio los diezmos de todo.
21 The king of Sodom told Abram, “Let me have the people back, and you can keep everything else for yourself.”
Entonces el rey de Sodoma dijo a Abram: Dáme las personas, y toma para ti la hacienda.
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,
Y respondió Abram al rey de Sodoma: Mi mano he alzado a Jehová Dios altísimo, poseedor de los cielos y de la tierra,
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!’
Que desde un hilo hasta la correa de un zapato, nada tomaré de todo lo que es tuyo, porque no digas: Yo enriquecí a Abram:
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.”
Sacando solamente lo que comieron los mancebos, y la parte de los varones que fueron conmigo Aner, Escol, y Mamré: los cuales tomarán su parte.
