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 ɛbaa sɛ Babiloniahene Amrafel, Elasarhene Ariok, Elamhene Kedorlaomer, Goiimhene Tideal berɛ so,
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.
na saa ahemfo yi ne Sodomhene Birsa, Gomorahene Birsa, Admahene Sinab, Seboimhene Semeber ne Belahene a na wɔfrɛ no Soar no dii ako.
3 All these ioyned together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt Sea.
Saa ahemfo yi a ɛyɛ Sodomhene, Gomorahene, Admahene, Seboimhene ne Belahene boaboaa wɔn akodɔm ano wɔ Sidim subɔnhwa a ɛno ne Nkyene Ɛpo no mu.
4 Twelue yeere were they subiect to Chedor-laomer, but in the thirteenth yeere they rebelled.
Wɔsomm Kedorlaomer mfeɛ dumienu, na afe a ɛtɔ so dumiɛnsa mu no, wɔtee atua.
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,
Afe akyiri no, Kedorlaomer ne ahemfo a wɔbɛkaa ne ho no tuu ɔsa. Na wɔko dii saa nnipa yi so nkonim: Refaimfoɔ, a wɔwɔ Asterot-Karnaim ne Susifoɔ a wɔwɔ Ham ne Emifoɔ a wɔwɔ Kiriataim
6 And the Horites in their mount Seir, vnto the plaine of Paran, which is by the wildernesse.
ne Horifoɔ a wɔwɔ bepɔ Seir so de kɔsi El-Paran a ɛda ɛserɛ ano no.
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.
Afei, wɔsane wɔn akyiri baa En-Mispat a, akyire no, wɔfrɛɛ no Kades bɛkunkumm Amalekfoɔ ne Amorifoɔ nso a na wɔte Hasason-Tamar, sɛee wɔn ɔman no nyinaa.
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:
Afei, saa ahemfo baanum yi a wɔn ne Sodomhene, Gomorahene, Admahene, Seboimhene ne Belahene a akyire yi, wɔfrɛ no Soar no kɔɔ
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.
saa ahemfo baanan yi a wɔn ne Elamhene Kedorlaomer, Goiimhene Tideal, Sinearhene Amrafel ne Elasarhene Ariok nkyɛn. Wɔkɔhyiaa wɔ Sidim subɔnhwa mu.
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 nkomena pii wɔ Sidim Bɔnhwa no mu a wɔatu ama wɔ hɔ pɛn. Enti, ɛbaa sɛ Sodomhene ne Gomorahene akodɔm no redwane no, wɔn mu bi kɔtotɔɔ nkomena no mu, na nkaeɛ no nso dwane kɔɔ mmepɔ a na ɛwɔ hɔ no so.
11 Then they tooke all the substance of Sodom and Gomorah, and al their vitailes and went their way.
Ahemfo baanan a wɔdii nkonim no fom Sodom ne Gomorafoɔ ahodeɛ ne wɔn nnuane nyinaa de kɔeɛ.
12 They tooke Lot also Abrams brothers sonne and his substance (for he dwelt at Sodom) and departed.
Esiane sɛ na Abram nuabarima ba Lot te Sodom asase so no enti, nkonimdifoɔ no faa ɔno ne nʼagyapadeɛ nyinaa kɔeɛ.
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 Sodom ne Gomora adwanefoɔ no mu baako bɛbɔɔ Hebrini Abram ɔko no mu amaneɛ. Saa ɛberɛ no, na Abram abɔ ne ho atenaseɛ wɔ odum kwaeɛ bi a ɛyɛ Amorini Mamrɛ dea no ase. Mamrɛ yi nso, na ne nuanom ne Eskol ne Aner a na wɔyɛ Abram aboafoɔ no.
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.
Ɛberɛ a Abram tee sɛ wɔafa ne busuani Lot dommum no, ɔboaboaa ne fiefoɔ nnipa ahasa ne dunwɔtwe a wɔatete wɔn sɛ akofoɔ ano, ma wɔtii atamfoɔ no, kɔsii kuro bi a wɔfrɛ no Dan mu.
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,
Ɛda no anadwo, Abram kyekyɛɛ nʼakodɔm no mu, ma wɔto hyɛɛ atamfoɔ no so, kunkumm wɔn, taa wɔn kɔduruu kuro bi a wɔfrɛ no Hoba a ɛwɔ Damasko atifi fam no mu.
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 gyee ɔko mu nneɛma a wɔfaeɛ no nyinaa faa ne busuani Lot ne nʼagyapadeɛ ne mmaa ne nnipa foforɔ a wɔkyekyee wɔn no nyinaa sane baeɛ.
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.
Abram kɔdii Kedorlaomer ne ahemfo a na wɔka ne ho no so nkonim akyiri no, Sodomhene bɛhyiaa no wɔ Sawe bɔnhwa a ɛno ara na wɔfrɛ no Ɔhene Bɔnhwa no mu.
18 And Melchi-zedek King of Shalem brought foorth bread and wine: and he was a Priest of the most high God.
Na Salemhene Melkisedek a na ɔyɛ Ɔsorosoro Awurade Onyankopɔn ɔsɔfoɔ no de burodo ne nsã brɛɛ no.
19 Therefore he blessed him, saying, Blessed art thou, Abram, of God most high possessour of heauen and earth,
Afei, Melkisedek hyiraa Abram sɛ: “Ɔsorosoro Onyankopɔn a ɔbɔɔ soro ne asase, nhyira nka wo, Abram.
20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath deliuered thine enemies into thine hand. And Abram gaue him tythe of all.
Na nhyira nka Ɔsorosoro Onyankopɔn, a ɔde wʼatamfoɔ ahyɛ wo nsam no.” Na Abram maa Melkisedek nneɛma a ne nsa kaeɛ no nyinaa mu biara nkyekyɛmu edu mu baako.
21 Then the King of Sodom saide to Abram, Giue me the persons, and take the goodes to thy selfe.
Afei, Sodomhene ka kyerɛɛ Abram sɛ, “Fa me nnipa a wofaa wɔn no ma me kɛkɛ, na wo nso, fa nneɛma a aka no nyinaa.”
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,
Nanso, Abram ka kyerɛɛ Sodomhene sɛ, “Madi nse aka ntam akyerɛ Ɔsorosoro Onyankopɔn, ɔsoro ne asase yɛfoɔ sɛ,
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,
Merennye biribiara, sɛ ɛyɛ asaawa ahoma baako anaa mpaboa so ahoma mpo, mfiri wo nkyɛn, na woanka da sɛ, ‘Me na memaa Abram nyaa ne ho.’
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.
Merennye hwee mfiri wo nkyɛn, gye deɛ me mmarima yi adi nko. Me nkurɔfoɔ Aner, Eskol ne Mamrɛ deɛ, ma wɔn wɔn kyɛfa.”
