< 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 nations;
Pea naʻe hoko ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻAmilafeli ko e tuʻi ʻo Saina, mo ʻAlioke ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIlasa, mo Kitaleoma. Ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIlami, mo Titale ko e tuʻi ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga;
2 That these 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, which is Zoar.
Naʻa nau tau mo Pila ko e tuʻi ʻo Sotoma, mo Pilisa ko e tuʻi ʻo Komola, mo Sinape ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAtima, mo Semipa ko e tuʻi ʻo Sepoimi, mo e tuʻi ʻo Pila ʻaia ʻoku ui ko Soa.
3 All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.
Naʻe kātoa fakataha ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Sitimi, ʻaia ko e tahi māsima.
4 Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
Naʻa nau tauhi kia Kitaleoma ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma ua, pea nau angatuʻu ʻi hono hongofulu ma tolu ʻoe taʻu.
5 And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emins in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Kitaleoma ʻi hono hongofulu ma fā ʻoe taʻu, mo e ngaahi tuʻi naʻe ʻiate ia, pea taaʻi ʻae kakai Lifeime ʻi ʻAsitelote Kaneime, mo e kakai Susi ʻi Hami, mo e kakai Imime ʻi Seva Kiliateimi,
6 And the Horites in their mount Seir, to Elparan, which is by the wilderness.
Mo e kau Hoa ʻi honau moʻunga ko Seia, ʻo aʻu ki ʻEli-Pelani, ʻaia ʻoku ofi ki he toafa.
7 And they returned, and came to Enmishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelled in Hazezontamar.
Pea naʻa nau liu mai, ʻo hoko ki ʻEni-Misipate, ʻaia ko Ketesi, ʻo nau taaʻi ʻae fonua kotoa pē ʻoe kakai ʻAmaleki, mo e kakai ʻAmoli foki, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Hesisone Tamali.
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 joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim;
Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae tuʻi ʻo Sotoma, mo e tuʻi ʻo Komola, mo e tuʻi ʻo ʻAtima, mo e tuʻi ʻo Sepoime, mo e tuʻi ʻo Pila (ʻa ia ko Soa; ) pea nau tali tau kiate kinautolu ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Sitimi;
9 With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with five.
Kia Kitaleoma ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIlami, mo Titale ko e tuʻi ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga, mo ʻAmilafeli ko e tuʻi ʻo Saina, mo ʻAlioke ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIlasa; ko e tuʻi ʻe toko fā ki he toko nima.
10 And the vale of Siddim was full of slime pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain.
Pea naʻe fonu ʻae teleʻa ʻo Sitimi ʻi he ngaahi luo kelepulu: pea naʻe hola ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Sotoma mo Komola pea hinga ʻi ai; pea ko kinautolu naʻe toe naʻa nau hola ki he moʻunga.
11 And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.
Pea naʻa nau veteki ʻae koloa kotoa pē ʻo Sotoma mo Komola, mo e meʻakai kotoa pē ʻi ai, pea nau ʻalu.
12 And they took Lot, Abram’s brother’s son, who dwelled in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
Pea naʻa nau ʻave ʻa Lote, ko e foha ʻoe tokoua ʻo ʻEpalame, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Sotoma, mo ʻene ngaahi meʻa, pea nau ʻalu.
13 And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelled in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae tokotaha naʻe hao ʻo fakahā kia ʻEpalame ko e Hepelū; he naʻe nofo ia ʻi he potu tokalelei ʻo Mamili, ko e tangata ʻAmoli, ko e tokoua ʻo ʻEsikoli, mo e tokoua ʻo ʻAneli; pea naʻa nau kau taha pe mo ʻEpalame.
14 And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them to Dan.
Pea kuo fanongo ʻa ʻEpalame kuo ʻave pōpula ʻa hono kāinga, pea ne tuku ʻae mahafutau ki hono kau nofoʻanga naʻe tupu ʻi hono fale, ko e toko tolungeau mo e toko hongofulu ma toko valu, pea ne tuli ʻakinautolu ki Tani.
15 And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them to Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.
Pea ne vahevahe ʻakinautolu, ʻaia mo hono kau nofoʻanga ʻi he poʻuli, pea ne teʻia ʻakinautolu, ʻo ne tuli ʻakinautolu ki Hopa, ʻaia ʻoku tuʻu ki he toʻohema ʻo Tamasikusi.
16 And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.
Pea naʻa ne toe maʻu ʻae koloa kotoa pē, pea ne toe ʻomi ʻa hono kāinga ko Lote, mo ʻene ngaahi meʻa mo e kau fefine mo e kakai.
17 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king’s dale.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae tuʻi ʻo Sotoma ke fakafetaulaki kia ʻEpalame ʻi heʻene liu mai mei he taaʻi ʻa Kitaleoma mo e ngaahi tuʻi, naʻe ʻiate ia ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Seve, ʻaia ko e teleʻa ʻoe tuʻi.
18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.
Pea ʻomi ʻe Melekiseteki ko e tuʻi ʻo Selemi ʻae mā mo e uaine: pea ko e taulaʻeiki ia ʻoe ʻOtua fungani māʻolunga.
19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:
Pea naʻa ne tāpuaki ia ʻo pehē, “ʻOku monūʻia ʻa ʻEpalame, ʻi he ʻOtua fungani māʻolunga ʻaia ʻoku ʻoʻona ʻae langi mo māmani.
20 And blessed be the most high God, which has delivered your enemies into your hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
Pea ke monūʻia mo e ʻOtua fungani māʻolunga, ʻaia kuo ne tuku ho ngaahi fili ki ho nima. Pea naʻa ne tukuhau kiate ia, ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē.”
21 And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to yourself.
Pea pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Sotoma kia ʻEpalame, “Tuku mai kiate au ʻae kakai, pea ke toʻo maʻau ʻae ngaahi meʻa.”
22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up my hand to the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth,
Pea talaange ʻe ʻEpalame ki he tuʻi ʻo Sotoma, “Naʻaku hiki hoku nima kia Sihova, ko e ʻOtua fungani māʻolunga, ʻoku ʻoʻona ʻae langi, mo māmani,
23 That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is yours, lest you should say, I have made Abram rich:
Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te u toʻo ha foʻi lou filo pe ha nonoʻo ʻoe topuvaʻe, pea ʻe ʻikai te u toʻo ha meʻa ʻe taha meiate koe, telia naʻa pehē ʻe koe, ‘Kuo u fakakoloaʻia ʻa ʻEpalame.’
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.
Ka ko e meʻa kuo kai ʻe he kau talavou, pea mo e ʻinasi ki he kau tangata naʻa mau o mo au, ko ʻAneli, mo ʻEsikoli, mo Mamili; tuku ke nau toʻo honau ʻinasi.”
