< 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,
当暗拉非作示拿王,亚略作以拉撒王,基大老玛作以拦王,提达作戈印王的时候,
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).
他们都攻打所多玛王比拉、蛾摩拉王比沙、押玛王示纳、洗扁王善以别,和比拉王;比拉就是琐珥。
3 All these joined together in the Valley of Siddim (that is, the Salt Sea).
这五王都在西订谷会合;西订谷就是盐海。
4 Twelve years they served Kedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year, they rebelled.
他们已经事奉基大老玛十二年,到十三年就背叛了。
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,
十四年,基大老玛和同盟的王都来在亚特律·加宁,杀败了利乏音人,在哈麦杀败了苏西人,在沙微·基列亭杀败了以米人,
6 and the Horite, in the hills of Seir, to El Paran, which is near the desert.
在何利人的西珥山杀败了何利人,一直杀到靠近旷野的伊勒·巴兰。
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.
他们回到安·密巴,就是加低斯,杀败了亚玛力全地的人,以及住在哈洗逊·他玛的亚摩利人。
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
于是所多玛王、蛾摩拉王、押玛王、洗扁王,和比拉王(比拉就是琐珥)都出来,在西订谷摆阵,与他们交战,
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.
就是与以拦王基大老玛、戈印王提达、示拿王暗拉非、以拉撒王亚略交战;乃是四王与五王交战。
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.
西订谷有许多石漆坑。所多玛王和蛾摩拉王逃跑,有掉在坑里的,其余的人都往山上逃跑。
11 They took all the possessions of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their food, and left.
四王就把所多玛和蛾摩拉所有的财物,并一切的粮食都掳掠去了;
12 They also took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who lived in Sodom, and his possessions, and departed.
又把亚伯兰的侄儿罗得和罗得的财物掳掠去了。当时罗得正住在所多玛。
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.
有一个逃出来的人告诉希伯来人亚伯兰;亚伯兰正住在亚摩利人幔利的橡树那里。幔利和以实各并亚乃都是弟兄,曾与亚伯兰联盟。
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.
亚伯兰听见他侄儿被掳去,就率领他家里生养的精练壮丁三百一十八人,直追到但,
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.
便在夜间,自己同仆人分队杀败敌人,又追到大马士革左边的何把,
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.
将被掳掠的一切财物夺回来,连他侄儿罗得和他的财物,以及妇女、人民也都夺回来。
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).
亚伯兰杀败基大老玛和与他同盟的王回来的时候,所多玛王出来,在沙微谷迎接他;沙微谷就是王谷。
18 Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; now he was priest of God Most High.
又有撒冷王麦基洗德带着饼和酒出来迎接;他是至高 神的祭司。
19 He blessed him, and said, "Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Maker of heaven and earth:
他为亚伯兰祝福,说:“愿天地的主、至高的 神赐福与亚伯兰!
20 and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand." And he gave him a tenth of everything.
至高的 神把敌人交在你手里,是应当称颂的!”亚伯兰就把所得的拿出十分之一来,给麦基洗德。
21 Now the king of Sodom said to Abram, "Give me the people, and take the possessions for yourself."
所多玛王对亚伯兰说:“你把人口给我,财物你自己拿去吧!”
22 Abram said to the king of Sodom, "I have lifted up my hand to God Most High, Maker of heaven and earth,
亚伯兰对所多玛王说:“我已经向天地的主—至高的 神耶和华起誓:
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.'
凡是你的东西,就是一根线、一根鞋带,我都不拿,免得你说:‘我使亚伯兰富足!’
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."
只有仆人所吃的,并与我同行的亚乃、以实各、幔利所应得的分,可以任凭他们拿去。”
