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,
Factum est autem in illo tempore, ut Amraphel rex Sennaar, et Arioch rex Ponti, et Chodorlahomor rex Elamitarum, et Thadal rex gentium
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).
inirent bellum contra Bara regem Sodomorum, et contra Bersa regem Gomorrhæ, et contra Sennaab regem Adamæ, et contra Semeber regem Seboim, contraque regem Balæ, ipsa est Segor.
3 All these joined together in the Valley of Siddim (that is, the Salt Sea).
Omnes hi convenerunt in vallem Silvestrem, quæ nunc est mare salis.
4 Twelve years they served Kedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year, they rebelled.
Duodecim enim annis servierunt Chodorlahomor, et tertiodecimo anno recesserunt ab eo.
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,
Igitur quartodecimo anno venit Chodorlahomor, et reges qui erant cum eo: percusseruntque Raphaim in Astarothcarnaim, et Zuzim cum eis, et Emim in Save Cariathaim,
6 and the Horite, in the hills of Seir, to El Paran, which is near the desert.
et Chorræos in montibus Seir, usque ad Campestria Pharan, quæ est in solitudine.
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.
Reversique sunt, et venerunt ad fontem Misphat, ipsa est Cades: et percusserunt omnem regionem Amalecitarum, et Amorrhæum, qui habitabat in Asasonthamar.
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
Et egressi sunt rex Sodomorum, et rex Gomorrhæ, rexque Adamæ, et rex Seboim, necnon et rex Balæ, quæ est Segor: et direxerunt aciem contra eos in valle Silvestri:
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.
scilicet adversus Chodorlahomor regem Elamitarum, et Thadal regem Gentium, et Amraphel regem Sennaar, et Arioch regem Ponti: quatuor reges adversus quinque.
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.
Vallis autem Silvestris habebat puteos multos bituminis. Itaque rex Sodomorum, et Gomorrhæ, terga verterunt, cecideruntque ibi: et qui remanserant, fugerunt ad montem.
11 They took all the possessions of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their food, and left.
Tulerunt autem omnem substantiam Sodomorum et Gomorrhæ, et universa quæ ad cibum pertinent, et abierunt:
12 They also took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who lived in Sodom, and his possessions, and departed.
necnon et Lot, et substantiam ejus, filium fratris Abram, qui habitabat in Sodomis.
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.
Et ecce unus, qui evaserat, nuntiavit Abram Hebræo, qui habitabat in convalle Mambre Amorrhæi, fratris Escol, et fratris Aner: hi enim pepigerant fœdus cum 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.
Quod cum audisset Abram, captum videlicet Lot fratrem suum, numeravit expeditos vernaculos suos trecentos decem et octo: et persecutus est usque Dan.
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.
Et divisis sociis, irruit super eos nocte: percussitque eos, et persecutus est eos usque Hoba, quæ est ad lævam Damasci.
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.
Reduxitque omnem substantiam, et Lot fratrem suum cum substantia illius, mulieres quoque et populum.
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).
Egressus est autem rex Sodomorum in occursum ejus postquam reversus est a cæde Chodorlahomor, et regum qui cum eo erant in valle Save, quæ est vallis regis.
18 Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; now he was priest of God Most High.
At vero Melchisedech rex Salem, proferens panem et vinum, erat enim sacerdos Dei altissimi,
19 He blessed him, and said, "Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Maker of heaven and earth:
benedixit ei, et ait: Benedictus Abram Deo excelso, qui creavit cælum et terram:
20 and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand." And he gave him a tenth of everything.
et benedictus Deus excelsus, quo protegente, hostes in manibus tuis sunt. Et dedit ei decimas ex omnibus.
21 Now the king of Sodom said to Abram, "Give me the people, and take the possessions for yourself."
Dixit autem rex Sodomorum ad Abram: Da mihi animas, cetera tolle tibi.
22 Abram said to the king of Sodom, "I have lifted up my hand to God Most High, Maker of heaven and earth,
Qui respondit ei: Levo manum meam ad Dominum Deum excelsum possessorem cæli et terræ,
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.'
quod a filo subtegminis usque ad corigiam caligæ, non accipiam ex omnibus quæ tua sunt, ne dicas: Ego ditavi Abram:
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."
exceptis his, quæ comederunt juvenes, et partibus virorum, qui venerunt mecum, Aner, Escol et Mambre: isti accipient partes suas.
