< 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,
Mu biro bya Amulafeeri kabaka wa Sinaali, ne Aliyooki kabaka wa Erasali, ne Kedolawomeeri kabaka wa Eramu ne Tidali kabaka wa Goyiyimu,
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.
bakabaka bano ne balumba ne balwana ne Bbeera kabaka wa Sodomu, ne Bbiruusa kabaka wa Ggomola, ne Sinaabu kabaka wa Aduma, ne Semebeeri kabaka wa Zeboyiyimu ne kabaka wa Bera, ye Zowaali.
3 All these came as allies unto the vale of Siddim — the same is the Salt Sea.
Bano bonna abooluvannyuma ne beegatta wamu mu kiwonvu kya Sidimu (y’Ennyanja ey’Omunnyo).
4 Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
Baamala emyaka kkumi n’ebiri nga baweereza Kedolawomeeri kabaka we Eramu, naye mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’esatu ne bamujeemera.
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,
Mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’ena Kedolawomeeri ne bakabaka abaali naye ne balumba Abaleefa mu Asuterosikalumayimu ne babawangula, n’Abazuuzi mu Kaamu, n’Abemi mu Savekiriyasayimu,
6 and the Horites in their mount Seir, unto El-paran, which is by the wilderness.
n’Abakooli mu nsi ey’ensozi eya Seyiri n’okutuukira ddala Erupalaani okumpi n’eddungu.
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.
Ate ne bakyuka ne bajja e Nuumisupaati, ye Kadesi ne bawangula ensi yonna ey’Abamaleki n’Abamoli abaabeeranga mu Kazazonutamali.
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;
Awo kabaka wa Sodomu ne kabaka wa Ggomola, ne kabaka wa Aduma, ne kabaka wa Zeboyiyimu ne kabaka wa Bera, ye Zowaali ne beegatta mu lutalo mu kiwonvu ky’e Sidimu
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.
okulwanyisa Kedolawomeeri kabaka wa Eramu, ne Tidali kabaka wa Goyiyimu ne Amulafeeri kabaka wa Sinaali awamu ne Aliyooki kabaka wa Erasali, bakabaka bana nga balwanyisa bakabaka bataano.
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.
Ekiwonvu ky’e Sidimu kyali kijjudde ebinnya ebirimu kolaasi; bakabaka b’e Sodomu ne Ggomola bwe baddukanga ng’abamu babigwamu, n’abalala ne baddukira ku nsozi.
11 And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.
Awo bakabaka abana ne batwala ebintu byonna ebyali mu Sodomu ne Ggomola, n’emmere yaabwe yonna gye baalina ne bagenda.
12 And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
Era ne batwala ne Lutti, mutabani wa muganda wa Ibulaamu eyali mu Sodomu, n’ebintu bye ne bagenda nabyo kubanga naye yali abeera mu Sodomu.
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.
Awo Omwamoli omu eyali abadduseeko n’ajja n’ategeeza Ibulaamu Omwebbulaniya, eyali abeera okumpi n’emivule gya Mamule, muganda wa Esukoli ne Aneri abaalina endagaano ne Ibulaamu.
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.
Ibulaamu bwe yawulira nti muganda we atwalibbwa nga munyage, n’akulembera basajja be abatendeke, abazaalirwa mu nnyumba ye, ebikumi bisatu mu kkumi na munaana, ne bawondera abaatwala Lutti okutuuka e Ddaani.
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.
Mu kiro n’ayawulamu eggye lye, n’abalumba, ye n’abaddu be ne bagoberera abantu bali okutuuka e Kkoba, ku luuyi olw’obukiikakkono obwa Damasiko.
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.
Awo n’akomyawo ebintu byonna, era n’akomyawo ne muganda we Lutti n’ebintu bye n’abakazi n’abantu bonna.
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.
Ibulaamu bwe yakomawo ng’amaze okuwangula Kedolawomeeri ne bakabaka abaali naye, kabaka wa Sodomu n’afuluma okumusisinkana mu kiwonvu ky’e Save (kye kiwonvu kya kabaka).
18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine; and he was priest of God the Most High.
Ne Merukizeddeeki kabaka wa Ssaalemi eyali kabona wa Katonda Ali Waggulu Ennyo n’aleeta omugaati n’envinnyo.
19 And he blessed him, and said: 'Blessed be Abram of God Most High, Maker of heaven and earth;
N’asabira Ibulaamu omukisa ng’agamba nti, “Katonda Ali Waggulu Ennyo Omutonzi w’eggulu n’ensi awe Ibulaamu omukisa.
20 and blessed be God the Most High, who hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand.' And he gave him a tenth of all.
Era Katonda Ali Waggulu Ennyo agulumizibwe agabudde abalabe bo mu mikono gyo.” Awo Ibulaamu n’amuwa ekitundu eky’ekkumi ekya buli kimu.
21 And the king of Sodom said unto Abram: 'Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.'
Ne kabaka wa Sodomu n’agamba Ibulaamu nti, “Mpa abantu, gwe otwale ebintu.”
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,
Naye Ibulaamu n’addamu kabaka wa Sodomu nti, “Ndayira Mukama Katonda Ali Waggulu Ennyo, Omutonzi w’eggulu n’ensi,
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;
sijja kutwala wadde akawuzi oba akakoba akasiba engatto, oba ekintu kyonna ekikyo, oleme okugamba nti, ‘Ngaggawazza Ibulaamu.’
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.'
Sijja kubaako kye ntwala; okuggyako ebyo abavubuka bye balidde, n’omugabo gw’abasajja abaagenda nange; leka Aneri ne Esukoli ne Mamule bo batwale omugabo gwabwe.”
