And it chaunsed within a while that Amraphel kynge of Synear Arioch kynge of Ellasar Kedorlaomer kynge of Elam and Thydeall kynge of the nations:

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.

made warre wyth Bera kynge of Sodoh and with Birsa kynge of Gomorra. And wythe Sineab kynge of Adama and with Semeaber kynge of Zeboim and wyth the kynge of Bela Which Bela is called Zoar.

3 All these have been joined together to the Valley of Siddim, which [is] the Salt Sea;

All these came together vnto the vale of siddim which is now the salt see

4 [for] twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and the thirteenth year they rebelled.

Twelve yere were they subiecte to kinge kedorlaomer and in the. xiij. yere rebelled.

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,

Therfore in the. xiiij. yere came kedorlaomer and the kynges that were wyth hym and smote the Raphayms in Astarath Karnaim and the Susims in Hain ad the Emyms in Sabe Kariathaim

6 and the Horites in their Mount Seir, to El-Paran, which [is] by the wilderness;

and the Hozyms in their awne mounte Seir vnto the playne of Pharan which bordreth vpon the wyldernesse.

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.

And then turned they and came to the well of iugmente which is Cades and smote all the contre of the Amalechites and also the amorytes that dwell in Hazezon Thamar.

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,

Than went out the kynge of Sodome and the kynge of Gomorra and the kinge of Adama and the kynge of Zeboijm and the kynge of Bela now called Zoar. And sette their men in aray to fyghte wyth them in the vale of siddim that is to say

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.

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.

And that vale of siddim was full of slyme pyttes. And the kynges of Sodome and Gomorra fled and fell there. And the resydue fled to the mountaynes.

11 And they take the whole substance of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the whole of their food, and go away;

And they toke all the goodes of Sodome and Gomorra and all their vitalles ad went their waye.

12 and they take Lot, Abram’s brother’s son (seeing he is dwelling in Sodom), and his substance, and go away.

And they toke Lot also Abrams brothers sonne and his good (for he dwelled at Sodome) and departed:

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.

Than came one that had escaped and tolde Abram the hebrue which dwelled in the okegrove of Mamre the Amoryte brother of Eschol and Aner: which were confederate wyth Abram.

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.

When Abram herde that his brother was taken he harnessed his seruantes borne in his owne house. iij. hundred and. xviij. ad folowed tyll they came at Dan.

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;

And sette hymselfe ad his seruantes in aray and fell vpon them by nyght and smote them and chased them awaye vnto Hoba: which lyeth on the lefte hande of Damascos

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.

and broughte agayne all the goodes and also his brother Lot ad his goodes the weme also and the people.

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.

And as he retourned agayne from the slaughter of kedorlaomer and of the kynges that were with hym than came the kynge of Sodome agaynst hym vnto the vale of Saue which now is called kynges dale.

18 And Melchizedek king of Salem has brought out bread and wine, and he [is] priest of God Most High;

Than Melchisedech kinge of Salem brought forth breed and wyne. And he beynge the prest of the most hyghest God

19 and he blesses him and says, “Blessed [is] Abram to God Most High, possessing the heavens and earth;

blessed hym saynge. Blessed be Abram vnto the most hyghest God possessor of heauen and erth.

20 and blessed [is] God Most High, who has delivered your adversaries into your hand”; and he gives to him a tenth of all.

And blessed be God the most hyghest which hath delyvered thyne enimies in to thy handes. And Abra gaue hym tythes of all.

21 And the king of Sodom says to Abram, “Give to me the persons, and take the substance to yourself,”

Than sayd the kynge of Sodome vnto Abram: gyue me the soulles and take the goodes to thy selfe.

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—

And Abram answered the kynge of Sodome: I lyfte vpp my hande vnto the LORde God most hygh possessor of heaven ad erth

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;

that I will not take of all yt is thyne so moch as a thred or a shoulacher lest thou shuldest saye I haue made Abra ryche.

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.”

Saue only that which the yonge men haue eaten ad the partes of the men which went wyth me. Aner Escholl and Mamre. Let them take their partes.
