< 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:
Na, i nga ra o Amarapera, Kingi o Hinara, o Arioka, kingi o Eratara, o Keroraoma, kingi o Erama, o Tirara hoki, kingi o Korimi;
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.
Ka whawhai enei ki a Pera, kingi o Horoma, ratou ko Pireta, kingi o Komora, ko Hinapa, kingi o Arema, ko Hemepera, kingi o Tepoimi, ko te kingi hoki o Pera, ara o Toara.
3 All these ioyned together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt Sea.
I huihui katoa enei ki te raorao i Hirimi, ara ki te Moana Tote.
4 Twelue yeere were they subiect to Chedor-laomer, but in the thirteenth yeere they rebelled.
Kotahi tekau ma rua nga tau i mahi ai ratou ki a Keroraoma, a i te kotahi tekau ma toru o nga tau ka whakakeke ratou.
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,
Na i te tekau ma wha o nga tau ka haere mai a Keroraoma, ratou ko nga kingi i whakauru ki a ia, a patua iho e ratou nga Repaima i Ahateroto Karanaima, ratou ko nga Tutimi i Hama me nga Emime i Hawe Kiriataima,
6 And the Horites in their mount Seir, vnto the plaine of Paran, which is by the wildernesse.
Me nga Hori i to ratou maunga, i Heira, a tae noa ki Ereparana, ki te taha o te koraha.
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.
Na ka hoki ratou, a ka tae ki Enimihipata, ara ki Karehe, a patua katoatia ana e ratou te whenua o nga Amareki, ratou ko nga Amori i noho ra i Hatetonatamara.
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:
Na ka puta atu te kingi o Horoma, ratou ko te kingi o Komora, ko te kingi o Arema, ko te kingi o Tepoimi, me te kingi o Pera, ara o Toara; a ka turia e ratou he pakanga ki a ratou ki te raorao i Hirimi;
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.
Ki a Keroraoma, kingi o Erama, ki a Tirara, kingi o Koimi, ki a Amarapera, kingi o Hinara, ratou ko Arioka, kingi o Eratara, tokowha enei kingi, tokorima hoki era.
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.
Na, ki tonu te raorao i Hirimi i te poka uku; na ka whati nga kingi o Horoma raua ko Komora, a ka hinga ki reira; a rere ana nga morehu ki te maunga.
11 Then they tooke all the substance of Sodom and Gomorah, and al their vitailes and went their way.
Na murua ana e ratou nga taonga katoa o Horoma, o Komora, me a ratou kai katoa, a haere ana.
12 They tooke Lot also Abrams brothers sonne and his substance (for he dwelt at Sodom) and departed.
I mauria ano e ratou a Rota, te tama a te teina o Aperama, me ona taonga, a haere ana; i Horoma hoki ia e noho ana.
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.
Na ka tae he morehu, ka korero ki a Aperama Hiperu; i te noho hoki ia i nga oki o Mamere Amori, teina o Ehekora, he teina ia no Anera: kotahi ano to ratou whakaaro ko Aperama.
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.
A, i te rongonga o Aperama, kua hereherea atu tona iramutu, takiritia ana e ia ana tangata mohio, nga mea i whanau ki tona whare, e toru rau kotahi tekau ma waru, a whaia ana ratou ki Rana.
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,
Na wahia ana ratou ko ana tangata kia rua nga matua, hei whakaeke mo ratou i te po, a patua ana ratou e ia, whaia ana, a tae noa ki Hopaha, ki te taha ki maui o Ramahiku.
16 And he recouered all the substance, and also brought againe his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also and the people.
A whakahokia mai ana e ia nga taonga katoa, whakahokia mai ana ano hoki tona iramutu, a Rota, me ona taonga, me nga wahine ano hoki, me nga tangata.
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.
Na ka puta mai te kingi o Horoma ki te whakatau i a ia i tona hokinga mai i te patu i a Keroraoma ratou ko ona hoa, ko nga kingi ki te raorao o Hawe, ara ki te Raorao o te Kingi.
18 And Melchi-zedek King of Shalem brought foorth bread and wine: and he was a Priest of the most high God.
A i maua mai e Merekihereke, e te kingi o Harema, he taro, he waina: he tohunga ano hoki ia no te Atua, no te Runga Rawa.
19 Therefore he blessed him, saying, Blessed art thou, Abram, of God most high possessour of heauen and earth,
Na ka manaaki ia i a ia, ka mea, Kia manaakitia a Aperama e te Atua, e te Runga Rawa, nona nei te rangi me te whenua:
20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath deliuered thine enemies into thine hand. And Abram gaue him tythe of all.
Kia manaakitia ano te Atua, te Runga Rawa, nana nei i tuku mai ou hoariri ki tou ringa. A ka hoatu e ia ki a ia nga whakatekau o nga mea katoa.
21 Then the King of Sodom saide to Abram, Giue me the persons, and take the goodes to thy selfe.
Na ka mea te kingi o Horoma ki a Aperama, Homai nga tangata ki ahau, ko nga taonga ia tangohia mou.
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,
Ano ra ko Aperama ki te kingi o Horoma, Kua totoro atu toku ringa ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua, ki te Runga Rawa, nona nei te rangi me te whenua;
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,
E kore ahau e tango ahakoa he miro, ahakoa he here no te hu, i tetahi mea ranei au, kei mea koe, naku a Aperama i whai taonga ai:
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.
Kati ano i a nga taitama i kai ai, me te wahi a nga tangata i haere tahi nei matou, a Anera, ratou ko Ehekora, ko Mamere; ma ratou e tango te wahi i a ratou.
