< Genesis 14 >

1 It happened in the days of Amraphel, king of Shinar, Arioch, king of Ellasar, Kedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of Goiim,
Lè sa a, Anmrafèl te wa Chenea, Ajòk te wa Elaza, Kedòlaòmè te wa Elam, Tideal te wa lòt nasyon yo.
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 (that is, Zoar).
Yo kat yo leve, y al fè lagè ak senk lòt wa. Bera ki te wa Sodòm, Bicha ki te wa Gomò, Cheneab ki te wa Adma, Chemebè ki te wa zeboyim yo, ak wa peyi Bela a. Peyi sa a te rele Zoa tou.
3 All these joined together in the Valley of Siddim (that is, the Salt Sea).
Senk wa sa yo mete tèt yo ansanm, yo reyini nan Fon Sidim lan kote lanmè Sèl la ye a.
4 Twelve years they served Kedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year, they rebelled.
Pandan douzan, senk wa sa yo te soumèt devan Kedòlaòmè. Lanne ki fè yo trèzan an, yo revòlte.
5 In the fourteenth year, Kedorlaomer and the kings allied with him came and attacked the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
Lanne apre sa, ki pou ta fè yo katòzan nan pozisyon sa a, Kedòlaòmè ansanm ak twa wa ki te mete tèt ansanm ak li yo vin rive. Yo bat refayim yo nan lavil Astawòt-Kanayim, yo bat zouzim yo nan lavil Am, yo bat emim yo nan laplenn Chave-Kiryatayim.
6 and the Horite, in the hills of Seir, to El Paran, which is near the desert.
Yo bat orit yo sou mòn Seyi, jouk bò kote pye bwadchenn Paran an, ki toupre dezè a.
7 They returned, and came to En Mishpat (that is, Kadesh), and attacked all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that lived in Hazazon Tamar.
Apre sa, yo kase tèt tounen, yo rive bò Sous jijman an, yo bat tout chèf moun Amelèk yo, yo pran tout bèt yo. Yo bat moun Amori yo tout ki rete Azazon-Tama, yo bat yo byen bat.
8 The king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar) came out; and they took up battle positions in the Valley of Siddim
Lè sa a, wa Sodòm, wa Gomò, wa Adma, wa zeboyim ansanm ak wa Bela a, yo soti, yo pran pozisyon nan Fon Sidim lan pou yo goumen
9 against Kedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings against the five.
kont Kedòlaòmè, wa Elam, Tideal, wa lòt nasyon yo, Anmrafèl, wa Chenea ak Ajòch, wa Elaza. Sa te fè kat wa kont senk wa.
10 Now the Valley of Siddim was full of tar pits; and the king of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah fled, and they fell there, and those who remained fled to the hills.
Nan Fon Sidim lan te gen anpil twou byen fon ki te plen asfat. Pandan batay la, wa Sodòm ak wa Gomò yo pran kouri pou lènmi yo, yo te vle wete kò yo nan batay la, yo tonbe nan twou asfat yo. Lòt wa yo menm kouri al kache nan mòn.
11 They took all the possessions of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their food, and left.
Kat wa yo pran tout sa yo jwenn nan Sodòm ak Gomò, ata pwovizyon manje, epi y al fè wout yo.
12 They also took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who lived in Sodom, and his possessions, and departed.
Yo pase men yo yo pran Lòt, pitit frè Abram lan, ansanm ak tout byen l' yo, paske se Sodòm Lòt te rete.
13 One who had escaped came and told Abram, the Hebrew. Now he lived by the oaks of Mamre, the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner; and these were allies of Abram.
Men, yonn nan mesye ki te chape nan batay la vin di Abram sa. Lè sa a, Abram te rete toupre pye bwadchenn Manmre a. Manmre sa a, se te yon moun Amori. Se te frè Echkòl ak Ane. tout de mesye sa yo te pase kontra avèk Abram.
14 When Abram heard that his relative was taken captive, he mobilized his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued as far as Dan.
Lè Abram vin konnen yo te fè neve l' la prizonye, li sanble tout domestik ki te fèt lakay li yo epi ki te konn goumen. Li pran twasandizwit (318) antou. Epi li file dèyè wa yo jouk lavil Dann.
15 He divided his forces against them at night, he and his servants, and attacked them, and pursued them to Hobah, which is north of Damascus.
La, yon jou lannwit, li separe mesye li yo, li fè yo fè de gwoup, epi li atake lènmi yo. Li bat yo byen bat, li kouri dèyè yo jouk yo rive Oba, ki sou bò nò lavil Damas.
16 He brought back all the possessions, and also brought back his relative, Lot, and his possessions, as well as the women and the other people.
Li reprann tout byen yo te pran yo, li mennen Lòt, neve li a, tounen lakay li ansanm ak tout byen l' yo, tout medam yo ak tout pèp la.
17 The king of Sodom went out to meet him, after his return from the defeat of Kedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, at the valley of Shaveh (that is, the King's Valley).
Apre Abram te fin kraze Kedòlaòmè ansanm ak tout lòt wa ki te fè tèt ansanm ak Kedòlaòmè yo, li t'ap tounen lakay li. Wa Sodòm lan vin rankontre l' nan Fon Chave a ki rele Fon Wa a tou.
18 Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; now he was priest of God Most High.
Mèlkisedèk menm ki te wa peyi Salèm fè pote pen ak diven vini. Se yon prèt ki t'ap sèvi Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la li te ye.
19 He blessed him, and said, "Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Maker of heaven and earth:
Li beni Abram, li di. Se pou Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la, li menm ki fè syèl la ak latè a, beni Abram.
20 and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand." And he gave him a tenth of everything.
Lwanj pou Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la. Se li menm ki te lage lènmi ou yo nan men ou. Apre sa, Abram ba li yon dizyèm nan tout sa li te pran.
21 Now the king of Sodom said to Abram, "Give me the people, and take the possessions for yourself."
Lèfini, wa Sodòm lan di Abram. Ou mèt gade tout byen yo pou ou. Men ban mwen moun yo sèlman.
22 Abram said to the king of Sodom, "I have lifted up my hand to God Most High, Maker of heaven and earth,
Abram reponn wa Sodòm lan, li di l'. Mwen fè sèman devan Seyè a, Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la, li menm ki fè syèl la ak latè a,
23 that I will not take a thread nor a sandal strap nor anything that is yours, lest you should say, 'I have made Abram rich.'
mwen p'ap pran anyen nan sa ki pou ou, li te mèt yon ti moso fil, yon kòd sapat. Konsa, ou p'ap janm ka di se ou menm ki fè Abram rich.
24 I will accept nothing from you except that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. Let them take their portion."
Mwen pa bezwen anyen pou tèt pa m'. Men, m'ap asepte sa moun mwen yo te manje, ansanm ak pòsyon ki pou moun ki te mache avè m' yo. Wi, se pou Ane, Echkòl ak Manmre pran sa ki vin pou yo a.
