< Genesis 14 >
1 And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim,
Te vaeng tue kah aka om Shinar manghai Amraphel, Ellasar manghai Aryawk, Elam manghai Kedorlaomer neh Goiim manghai Tidal loh;
2 that they made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela — the same is Zoar.
Sodom manghai Bera, Gomorrah manghai Birsha, Admah manghai Shinab, Zeboim manghai Shemeber neh Zoar manghai Bela taengah caemtloeknah a saii uh.
3 All these came as allies unto the vale of Siddim — the same is the Salt Sea.
Te rhoek boeih te Lungkaeh tuitunli kah Siddim kol ah cingcui uh.
4 Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
Kedorlaomer taengah kum hlai nit thotat uh dae kum a hlai thum vaengah a tloelh uh coeng.
5 And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh-kiriathaim,
Kum hlai li vaengah Kedorlaomer khaw amah taengkah manghai rhoek neh cet tih Ashterothkarnaim kah Rephaim neh Ham kah Zuzim khaw, Shaveh Kiriathaim kah Emim khaw,
6 and the Horites in their mount Seir, unto El-paran, which is by the wilderness.
Seir tlang kah Khori neh khosoek taengkah Elparan duela a tloek.
7 And they turned back, and came to En-mishpat — the same is Kadesh — and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in Hazazon-tamar.
Te phoeiah bal uh tih Kadesh kah Enmishpat te a paan uh vaengah Amalek khohmuen boeih neh Hazezontamar ah kho aka sa Amori te khaw a tloek uh.
8 And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela — the same is Zoar; and they set the battle in array against them in the vale of Siddim;
Te phoeiah Sodom manghai khaw, Gomorrah manghai khaw, Admah manghai khaw, Zeboiim kah manghai Zeboim khaw, Zoar manghai Bela khaw, amih neh aka thoo hmaih Siddim kol kah caemtloeknah te khaw,
9 against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings against the five.
Elam manghai Kedorlaomer khaw, Goiim manghai Tidal khaw, Shinar manghai Amraphel khaw, Ellasar manghai Aryawk khaw manghai rhoek pali panga te a muk.
10 Now the vale of Siddim was full of slime pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and they fell there, and they that remained fled to the mountain.
Te vaengah Sodom neh Gomorrah manghai te rhaelrham uh dae Siddim kol kah aka om tuito, lungpaat tuito ah cungku rhoi tih aka sueng rhoek te tlang la rhaelrham uh.
11 And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.
Te dongah Sodom neh Gomorrah kah khuehtawn boeih khaw, cakok boeih khaw, a loh uh tih cet uh.
12 And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
Te vaengah Abram maya capa Lot khaw Sodom ah kho a sak van dongah amah neh a khuehtawn te rhen a khuen uh tih a caeh puei uh.
13 And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew — now he dwelt by the terebinths of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner; and these were confederate with Abram.
Te vaengah hlangyong te Mamre thingnu rhoek taengah kho aka sa Amori hoel Eshkol neh Aner kah a manuca tah halo tih Hebrew hoel Abram taengah puen. Amih te Abram kah a tai kung ni.
14 And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he led forth his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued as far as Dan.
A manuca a sol pah te Abram loh a yaak van neh amah kah a hlangphaep neh a im kah a cahlah ya thum neh hlai rhet te a hui tih Dan duela a hloem.
15 And he divided himself against them by night, he and his servants, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.
Tedae khoyin ah amah loh a sal rhoek te hloephloep a tael tih caem a tloek. Te phoeiah amih te Damasku kah banvoei ben Hobah duela a hloem.
16 And he brought back all the goods, and also brought back his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.
Te dongah khuehtawn boeih neh a manuca Lot khaw a lat tih anih kah khuehtawn khaw huta rhoek khaw pilnam khaw ham bal puei bal.
17 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him, at the vale of Shaveh — the same is the King's Vale.
Te vaengah Kedorlaomer neh anih taengkah manghai rhoek te a tloek phoei lamkah Abram a bal vaengah anih aka doe ham Sodom manghai loh Shaveh kol [manghai tuikol] la cet.
18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine; and he was priest of God the Most High.
Te vaengah Khohni Pathen taengkah khosoih, Salem manghai Melkhizedek loh vaidam neh misurtui a khuen.
19 And he blessed him, and said: 'Blessed be Abram of God Most High, Maker of heaven and earth;
Te phoeiah Abram te yoethen a paek tih, “Vaan neh diklai aka men Khohni Pathen loh Abram yoe a then sak.
20 and blessed be God the Most High, who hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand.' And he gave him a tenth of all.
Na rhal rhoek te nang kut ah aka tloeng Khohni Pathen khaw a yoethen pai,” a ti nah. Te dongah Abram loh a cungkuem khui lamkah parha pakhat te anih taengla a paek.
21 And the king of Sodom said unto Abram: 'Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.'
Tedae Sodom manghai long tah Abram taengah, “Hinglu te kai ham khueh lamtah khuehtawn te namah ham khuen,” a ti nah.
22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom: 'I have lifted up my hand unto the LORD, God Most High, Maker of heaven and earth,
Te dongah Abram loh Sodom manghai taengah, “Vaan neh diklai aka men Khohni Pathen YAHWEH taengah ka kut ka phuel coeng.
23 that I will not take a thread nor a shoe-latchet nor aught that is thine, lest thou shouldest say: I have made Abram rich;
Nang taengkah boeih tah rhuihet neh khokhom rhui pataeng ka doe mahpawh. Te daengah ni, ‘Kai loh Abram ka boei sak,’ na ti pawt eh.
24 save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre, let them take their portion.'
Kai te rhaemaih. Tedae camoe rhoek kah a caak neh Aner Eshkol neh Mamre ah kamah taengla aka lo hlang rhoek kah hamsum te tah amamih kah hamsum la lo uh saeh,” a ti nah.
