< Genesis 14 >
1 And in the dayes of Amraphel King of Shinar, Arioch King of Ellasar, Chedor-laomer King of Elam, and Tidal king of the nations:
Azɔ la, aʋa dzɔ le anyigba la dzi. Amrafel, Sinar fia, Ariok, Elasar fia, Kedolaoma, Elam fia kple Tidal, Goyim fia,
2 These men made warre with Bera King of Sodom, and with Birsha King of Gomorah, Shinab King of Admah, and Shemeber King of Zeboiim, and the King of Bela, which is Zoar.
ho aʋa ɖe Bera, Sodom fia, Birsa, Gomora fia, Sinab, Adma fia, Semeber, Zeboyim fia kple Bela fia (si woyɔna be Zoar la) ŋu.
3 All these ioyned together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt Sea.
Fia siwo tso Sodom, Gomora, Adma, Seboyim kple Bela la na woƒe aʋakɔwo ƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Sidom balime si nye (Dzeƒu la ƒe balime.)
4 Twelue yeere were they subiect to Chedor-laomer, but in the thirteenth yeere they rebelled.
Wonye Fia Kedolaoma teviwo ƒe wuieve sɔŋ, ke wotso ɖe fia sia ŋu le ƒe wuietɔ̃lia me.
5 And in the fourteenth yeere came Chedor-laomer, and the Kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaueh Kiriathaim,
Le ƒe wuienelia me la, Kedolaoma kple fia siwo kpe ɖe eŋu la yi ɖasi Refaimtɔwo le Asterot, Karnaimtɔwo kple Zuzitɔwo le Ham, Emitɔwo le Save Kiriataim
6 And the Horites in their mount Seir, vnto the plaine of Paran, which is by the wildernesse.
kple Horitɔwo le Seir ƒe tonyigba dzi heyi keke El Paran, afi si te ɖe gbegbe la ŋu.
7 And they returned and came to En-mishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the countrey of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites that dwelled in Hazezon-tamar.
Wotrɔ azɔ yi En Misfat (afi si woyɔna egbegbe be Kades la), eye woɖu Amalekitɔwo kple Amoritɔwo, ame siwo nɔ Hazazon Tamar la dzi.
8 Then went out the King of Sodom, and the King of Gomorah, and the King of Admah, and the King of Zeboiim, and the King of Bela, which is Zoar: and they ioyned battell with them in the vale of Siddim:
Tete fia siwo tso Sodom, Gomora, Adma, Zeboyim kple Bela (si nye Zoar) la yi ɖaƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Sidim Balime,
9 To wit, with Chedor-laomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar: foure Kings against fiue.
ɖe Kedolaoma, Elam fia, Tidal, Goyim fia, Amrafel, Sinar fia kple Ariok, Elasar fia ŋu. Fia ene kpe aʋa kple fia atɔ̃.
10 Now the vale of Siddim was full of slime pits, and the Kings of Sodom and Gomorah fled and fell there: and ye residue fled to the mountaine.
Ke aŋɔʋe geɖewo nɔ teƒe ma, eye esi Sodom kple Gomora fiawo si yina la, wo dometɔ aɖewo ge dze aŋɔʋeawo me. Ame mamlɛawo si yi toawo dzi.
11 Then they tooke all the substance of Sodom and Gomorah, and al their vitailes and went their way.
Dziɖulawo ha Sodom kple Gomora ƒe kesinɔnuwo kple nuɖuɖuwo katã heɖo ta aƒe kpli wo.
12 They tooke Lot also Abrams brothers sonne and his substance (for he dwelt at Sodom) and departed.
Wolé Lot, ame si nye Abram ƒe tɔgãyɔvi si nɔ Sodom la, eye wokplɔe dzoe kple eƒe kesinɔnuwo katã.
13 Then came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Ebrew, which dwelt in the plaine of Mamre ye Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner, which were confederat with Abram.
Ame siwo si la dometɔ ɖeka va ka nya la ta na Abram, Hebritɔ la, esime wònɔ asaɖa me le Mamre si nye Amoritɔ la ƒe ati gãwo te. Mamre nye Eskol kple Aner, ame siwo nɔ Abram dzi la nɔvi.
14 When Abram heard that his brother was taken, he brought forth of them that were borne and brought vp in his house, three hundreth and eighteene, and pursued them vnto Dan.
Esi Abram se be woɖe aboyo Lot la, eƒo ƒu ame alafa etɔ̃ kple wuienyi siwo nye aʋawɔlawo la tso eƒe aƒe me, eye wòkplɔ aʋakɔ la ɖo va se ɖe Dan.
15 Then he, and his seruants deuided them selues against them by night, and smote them and pursued them vnto Hobah, which is on the left side of Damascus,
Wodze aʋakɔ la dzi le zã ma me, eye wonya wo va se ɖe Hoba le Damasko ƒe anyiehe lɔƒo.
16 And he recouered all the substance, and also brought againe his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also and the people.
Abram xɔ futɔwo ƒe kesinɔnuwo, Lot kple eƒe kesinɔnuwo hekpe ɖe Lot ƒe nyɔnuwo kple ame bubu siwo katã wolé le aʋa la me la ŋu le futɔwo si.
17 After that he returned from the slaughter of Chedor-laomer, and of the Kings that were with him, came the King of Sodom foorth to meete him in the valley of Shaueh, which is the Kings dale.
Esi Abram trɔ gbɔna tso aʋa si wòho ɖe Kedolaoma kple fia bubuawo ŋu le Save balime (si wogayɔna be Fia ƒe Balime) la, Sodom fia va kpee,
18 And Melchi-zedek King of Shalem brought foorth bread and wine: and he was a Priest of the most high God.
eye Salem fia Melkizedek, ame si nye Mawu, Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ƒe nunɔla la tsɔ abolo kple wain vɛ nɛ,
19 Therefore he blessed him, saying, Blessed art thou, Abram, of God most high possessour of heauen and earth,
eye wòyra Abram gblɔ be, “Mawu Dziƒoʋĩtɔ, dziƒo kple anyigba wɔla nayra Abram,
20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath deliuered thine enemies into thine hand. And Abram gaue him tythe of all.
eye woakafu Mawu Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la, ame si tsɔ wò futɔwo de asi na wò la.” Tete Abraham tsɔ nuawo katã ƒe ewolia nɛ.
21 Then the King of Sodom saide to Abram, Giue me the persons, and take the goodes to thy selfe.
Sodom fia gblɔ na Abram be, “Ɖe asi le nye ame siwo nèlé la ko ŋu nam, eye nàtsɔ kesinɔnu siwo nèha tso nye du me la faa.”
22 And Abram said to the King of Sodom, I haue lift vp mine hand vnto the Lord the most hie God possessor of heauen and earth,
Abram ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Mele adzɔgbe ɖem na Yehowa, Mawu Dziƒoʋĩtɔ, ame si wɔ dziƒo kple anyigba la
23 That I will not take of all that is thine, so much as a threde or shoolatchet, lest thou shouldest say, I haue made Abram riche,
be nyemaxɔ ɖetika ɖeka gɔ̃ hã le asiwò o, ne menye nenema o la, àva gblɔ be, ‘Abram zu kesinɔtɔ le nu si menae la ta.’
24 Saue onely that, which the yong men haue eaten, and the partes of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre: let them take their partes.
Nu si maxɔ koe anye nu si ɖekakpui siawo ɖu. Ke tsɔ kesinɔnuawo ƒe akpa aɖe na Aner, Eskol kple Mamre, ame siwo kpe ɖe ŋunye le aʋa la wɔwɔ me.”
