< 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,
To naah Shinar siangpahrang Amraphel, Ellasar siangpahrang Ariok, Elam siangpahrang Kedorlaomer hoi Goiim siangpahrang Tidal cae loe,
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).
caeh o moe, Sodom siangpahrang Bera, Gomorrah siangpahrang Birsha, Admah siangpahrang Shinah, Zeboiim siangpahrang Shemeber hoi Bela (to loe Zoar ni) siangpahrang to tuk o.
3 All these joined together in the Valley of Siddim (that is, the Salt Sea).
To siangpahrangnawk boih loe Siddim paloi tuili azawn ah atai o.
4 Twelve years they served Kedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year, they rebelled.
Nihcae loe saning hatlai hnetto thung Kedorlaomer ban thungah oh o, toe saning hatlai thumto naah loe, misa angthawk o.
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,
Saning hatlai palito naah, Kedorlaomer siangpahrang loe anih angdoe haih siangpahrangnawk hoi nawnto angzoh o moe, Ashteroth Karnaim ah kaom Rephaim kaminawk, Ham ah kaom Zuzim kaminawk, Shaveh Kiriathaim ah kaom Emim kaminawk,
6 and the Horite, in the hills of Seir, to El Paran, which is near the desert.
Seir mae ah kaom Hor kaminawk to tuk o moe, praezaek taengah kaom El-Paran vangpui khoek to patom o.
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.
To pacoengah amlaem o moe, En-Mishpat (Kadesh) ah caeh o; Amalek prae pum hoi Hazezon-Tamar prae ah kaom, Amor kaminawk doeh tuk pazawk o.
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
To naah Sodom siangpahrang, Gomorrah siangpahrang, Admah siangpahrang, Zeboiim siangpahrang hoi Bela (Zoar) siangpahrang mah misatuk hanah Siddim azawn ah caeh haih moe,
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.
Elam siangpahrang Kedorlaomer, Goiim siangpahrang Tidal, Shinar siangpahrang Amraphel hoi Ellasar siangpahrang Ariok, siangpahrang palito hoiah siangpahrang pangatonawk misa angtuk o.
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.
Siddim azawn loe tangnong cing ah oh; Sodom hoi Gomorrah ih siangpahrang hnik loe cawnh hoi ving, toe to ih tangnong thungah krak hoi hmaek; kanghmat kaminawk loe mae nuiah cawnh o.
11 They took all the possessions of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their food, and left.
Misatuk pazawk siangpahrangnawk mah Sodom hoi Gomorrah vangpui ih hmuennawk hoi caaknaeknawk to lak pae o boih pacoengah caeh o taak.
12 They also took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who lived in Sodom, and his possessions, and departed.
Sodom vangpui ah kaom Abram amya ih capa, Lot hoi anih ih hmuennawk doeh lak pae o boih.
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.
Misa angtukhaih thung hoi loih kami maeto mah to kawng to Hebru kami, Abram khaeah thuih pae; to naah Abram loe Eshkol hoi Aner amnawk, Amor kami Mamre ih azawn taengah oh; to ah kaom kaminawk loe Abram hoi ampui ah oh o.
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.
Misanawk mah amya ih caanawk naeh o boih boeh, tiah Abram mah thaih naah, angmah im ah tapen kami, angmah patuk ih kami cumvai thum, hatlai tazetto hoiah nihcae to Dan vangpui karoek to patom o.
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.
Angmah ih kaminawk to tapraek moe, to kaminawk to khoving ah tuksak pacoengah, Damaska vangpui aluek bangah kaom Hobah vangpui khoek to patom o.
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.
Hmuennawk to lomh pae o let moe, amya capa, Lot hoi anih ih hmuennawk, nongpatanawk hoi kaminawk to hoih pae o boih let.
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).
Abram loe Kedolaomer siangpahrang hoi anih ih ampui siangpahrangnawk to pazawk boih pacoengah amlaem let, to naah Sodom siangpahrang mah anih to Shaveh azawn (to loe siangpahrang ih azawn ah oh) karoek to dawt.
18 Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; now he was cohen of God Most High.
To naah Salem siangpahrang Melkhizedik mah takaw hoi misurtui to sinh; anih loe Sang koek Sithaw ih qaima ah oh.
19 He blessed him, and said, "Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Maker of heaven and earth:
Anih mah Abram tahamhoihaih paek moe, Sang koek Sithaw, van hoi long sahkung mah, Abram tahamhoihaih paek nasoe.
20 and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand." And he gave him a tenth of everything.
Na misanawk na ban ah paekkung, Sang koek Sithaw loe, tahamhoihaih om nasoe, tiah a naa. To naah Abram mah a tawnh ih hmuen boih thung hoiah hato thungah maeto anih khaeah paek.
21 Now the king of Sodom said to Abram, "Give me the people, and take the possessions for yourself."
Sodom siangpahrang mah Abram khaeah, Kaminawk to kai han na paek ah, hmuennawk loe nangmah hanah la ah, tiah a naa.
22 Abram said to the king of Sodom, "I have lifted up my hand to God Most High, Maker of heaven and earth,
Toe Abram mah Sodom siangpahrang khaeah, Sang koek Sithaw, van hoi long sahkung, Angraeng khaeah ban payangh moe, lokkamhaih ka sak boeh pongah,
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.'
nang ih hmuen tih ta doeh ka la mak ai, khopanai bum aqui hoi tlangqui tetta mataeng doeh ka la mak ai; to tih ai nahaeloe Abram loe kaimah ni kang raengsak, tiah na thui moeng tih;
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."
kai ih kaminawk mah patoh o moe, a caak o ih hmuen khue to ka lak han; kai bomkung Aner, Eshkol hoi Mamre cae loe angmacae hnuk han koi taham to la o nasoe, tiah a naa.
