Genesis 14
1 And it comes to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations,
Pa nthawi imeneyi Amarafeli mfumu ya Sinara, Arioki mfumu ya Elasara, Kedorilaomere mfumu ya Elamu ndi Tidala mfumu ya Goimu
2 they have made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboim, and the king of Bela, which [is] Zoar.
anathira nkhondo Bera mfumu ya ku Sodomu, Birisa mfumu ya Gomora, Sinabi mfumu ya Adima, Semeberi mfumu ya Ziboimu ndi mfumu ya Bela (kumeneko ndi ku Zowari).
3 All these have been joined together to the Valley of Siddim, which [is] the Salt Sea;
Mafumu onse anathiridwa nkhondowa anagwirizana pamodzi kupita ku Chigwa cha Sidimu (Nyanja ya Mchere).
4 [for] twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and the thirteenth year they rebelled.
Kwa zaka khumi ndi ziwiri anali pansi pa ulamuliro wa Kedorilaomere, koma mʼchaka cha khumi ndi chitatu anamuwukira.
5 And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings who [are] with him, and they strike the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
Mʼchaka cha khumi ndi chinayi, Kedorilaomere mogwirizana ndi mafumu ena aja anapita kukagonjetsa Arefaiwa ku Asiteroti-karanaimu, Zuzimu wa ku Hamu, Aemi wa ku Savekiriataimu
6 and the Horites in their Mount Seir, to El-Paran, which [is] by the wilderness;
amene ankakhala ku Ahori, ku dziko la mapiri la Seiri mpaka ku Eli Parani kufupi ndi chipululu.
7 and they turn back and come to En-Mishpat, which [is] Kadesh, and strike the whole field of the Amalekite, and also the Amorite who is dwelling in Hazezon-Tamar.
Kenaka anabwerera napita ku Eni-Misipati (ku Kadesi), ndipo anagonjetsa dera lonse la Aamaleki, kuphatikizanso Aamori amene ankakhala ku Hazazoni Tamara.
8 And the king of Sodom goes out, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboim, and the king of Bela, which [is] Zoar; and they set in array [for] battle with them in the Valley of Siddim,
Tsono mafumu a ku Sodomu, Gomora, Adima, Zeboimu ndi ku Bela (ku Zowari) anapita ku Chigwa cha Sidimu kukakonzekera kuthira nkhondo
9 with Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with the five.
Kedorilaomere mfumu ya Elamu, Tidala mfumu ya Goimu, Amarafeli mfumu ya Sinara ndi Arioki mfumu ya Elasara. Mafumu anayi analimbana ndi mafumu asanu.
10 And the Valley of Siddim [is] full of bitumen-pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah flee, and fall there, and those left have fled to the mountain.
Koma Chigwa cha Sidimu chinali chodzaza ndi maenje aphula. Choncho pamene mafumu a ku Sodomu ndi Gomora amathawa, ankhondo ena anagweramo ndipo ena anathawira ku mapiri.
11 And they take the whole substance of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the whole of their food, and go away;
Mafumu anayi aja anatenga katundu yense ndi chakudya chonse cha ku Sodomu ndi Gomora napita nazo.
12 and they take Lot, Abram’s brother’s son (seeing he is dwelling in Sodom), and his substance, and go away.
Anatenganso Loti, mwana wa mʼbale wake wa Abramu pamodzi ndi katundu wake popeza ankakhala mu Sodomu.
13 And one who is escaping comes and declares to Abram the Hebrew, and he is dwelling among the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner, and they [are] Abram’s allies.
Koma munthu wina amene anathawa, anabwera kudzamufotokozera Abramu Mhebri. Tsono Abramu ankakhala pafupi ndi mitengo ikuluikulu ya thundu ya Mamre wa fuko la Aamori, mʼbale wake wa Esikolo ndi Aneri. Onsewa anali pa mgwirizano ndi Abramu.
14 And Abram hears that his brother has been taken captive, and he draws out his trained servants, three hundred and eighteen, and pursues to Dan.
Abramu atamva kuti Loti wagwidwa pa nkhondo, anasonkhanitsa asilikali 318 obadwira mʼbanja lake lomwelo nalondola mpaka ku Dani.
15 And he divides himself against them by night, he and his servants, and strikes them, and pursues them to Hobah, which [is] at the left of Damascus;
Pa nthawi ya usiku Abramu anawagawa asilikali ake kuti athire nkhondo mafumu aja, ndipo anawakantha nawapirikitsa mpaka ku Hoba, cha kumpoto kwa Damasiko.
16 and he brings back the whole of the substance, and he has also brought back his brother Lot and his substance, and also the women and the people.
Ndipo anawalanda katundu wawo yense nabwera naye Loti, katundu wake yense, pamodzi ndi akazi ndi anthu ena.
17 And the king of Sodom goes out to meet him (after his turning back from the striking of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings who [are] with him), to the Valley of Shaveh, which [is] the king’s valley.
Abramu atabwerera kuchokera kogonjetsa Kedorilaomere ndi mafumu amene anali nawo pa mgwirizano, mfumu ya ku Sodomu inabwera kudzakumana naye ku Chigwa cha Save (chimenechi ndicho Chigwa cha Mfumu).
18 And Melchizedek king of Salem has brought out bread and wine, and he [is] priest of God Most High;
Ndipo Melikizedeki mfumu ya ku Salemu anabweretsa buledi ndi vinyo. Iyeyu anali wansembe wa Mulungu Wammwambamwamba,
19 and he blesses him and says, “Blessed [is] Abram to God Most High, possessing the heavens and earth;
ndipo anadalitsa Abramu nati, “Mulungu Wammwambamwamba, wolenga kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi, akudalitse iwe Abramu.
20 and blessed [is] God Most High, who has delivered your adversaries into your hand”; and he gives to him a tenth of all.
Ndipo adalitsike Mulungu Wammwambamwamba amene anapereka adani ako mʼdzanja lako.” Ndipo Abramu anamupatsa iye chakhumi cha zonse anali nazo.
21 And the king of Sodom says to Abram, “Give to me the persons, and take the substance to yourself,”
Mfumu ya Sodomu inati kwa Abramu, “Ine undipatse anthu okhawo, koma katundu akhale wako.”
22 and Abram says to the king of Sodom, “I have lifted up my hand to YHWH, God Most High, possessing the heavens and earth—
Koma Abramu anawuza mfumu ya Sodomu kuti, “Ndakweza manja anga kwa Yehova, Mulungu Wammwambamwamba, Mlengi wakumwamba ndi dziko lapansi, kulumbira
23 from a thread even to a shoe-strap I do not take of anything which you have, that you do not say, I have made Abram rich;
kuti sindidzalandira kanthu kalikonse kako, ngakhale utakhala ulusi chabe kapena chingwe cha nsapato, kuopa kuti ungamanene kuti, ‘Ndamulemeretsa Abramu.’
24 save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who have gone with me—Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre—they take their portion.”
Sindidzalandira kanthu kalikonse kupatula zokhazo zimene anthu anga adya ndi gawo la katundu la anthu amene ndinapita nawo monga Aneri, Esikolo ndi Mamre. Iwowa atenge gawo lawo.”
