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,

١ وَحَدَثَ فِي زَمَانِ أَمْرَافَلَ مَلِكِ شِنْعَارَ وَأَرْيُوكَ مَلِكِ أَلاسَارَ وَكَدَرْلَعَوْمَرَ مَلِكِ عِيلامَ وَتِدْعَالَ مَلِكِ جُويِيمَ،

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).

٢ أَنَّ حَرْباً نَشَبَتْ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ بَارَعَ مَلِكِ سَدُومَ وَبِرْشَاعَ مَلِكِ عَمُورَةَ وَشِنْآبَ مَلِكِ أَدْمَةَ وَشِمْئِيبَرَ مَلِكِ صَبُويِيمَ، وَمَلِكِ بَالَعَ الْمَعْرُوفَةِ بِصُوغَرَ.

3 All these joined together in the Valley of Siddim (that is, the Salt Sea).

٣ هَؤُلاءِ جَمِيعُهُمُ احْتَشَدُوا فِي وَادِي السِّدِّيمِ (وَهُوَ بَحْرُ الْمِلْحِ؛ الْبَحْرُ الْمَيِّتُ)

4 Twelve years they served Kedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year, they rebelled.

٤ وَكَانَ كَدَرْلَعَوْمَرُ قَدِ اسْتَعْبَدَهُمْ طَوَالَ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، وَفِي السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةَ عَشْرَةَ تَمَرَّدُوا عَلَيْهِ.

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,

٥ وَفِي السَّنَةِ الرَّابِعَةَ عَشْرَةَ اجْتَمَعَ كَدَرْلَعَوْمَرُ وَحُلَفَاؤُهُ الْمُلُوكُ وَقَهَرُوا الرَّفَائِيِّينَ فِي عَشْتَارُوثَ قَرْنَايِمَ، وَالزُّوزِيِّينَ فِي هَامَ، وَالإِيمِيِّينَ فِي سَهْلِ قَرْيَتَايِمَ،

6 and the Horite, in the hills of Seir, to El Paran, which is near the desert.

٦ وَالْحُورِيِّينَ فِي جَبَلِهِمْ سَعِيرَ حَتَّى بُطْمَةِ فَارَانَ عَلَى حُدُودِ الصَّحْرَاءِ.

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.

٧ ثُمَّ اسْتَدَارُوا حَتَّى أَقْبَلُوا عَلَى عَيْنِ مِشْفَاطَ، الَّتِي هِيَ قَادِشُ، فَهَزَمُوا بِلادَ الْعَمَالِقَةِ كُلَّهَا وَالأَمُورِيِّينَ السَّاكِنِينَ فِي حَصُّونَ تَامَارَ.

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

٨ فَخَرجَ مَلِكُ سَدُومَ وَمَلِكُ عَمُورَةَ وَمَلِكُ أَدْمَةَ وَمَلِكُ صَبُويِيمَ وَمَلِكُ بَالَعَ، الَّتِي هِيَ صُوغَرُ، فِي عُمْقِ السِّدِّيمِ وَخَاضُوا حَرْباً

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.

٩ مَعْ كَدَرْلَعَوْمَرَ مَلِكِ عِيلامَ وَتِدْعَالَ مَلِكِ جُويِيمَ وَأَمْرَافَلَ مَلِكِ شِنْعَارَ وَأَرْيُوكَ مَلِكِ أَلاسَارَ، فَكَانُوا أَرْبَعَةَ مُلوكٍ ضِدَّ خَمْسَةٍ.

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.

١٠ وَكَانَ وَادِي السِّدِّيمِ مَلِيئاً بِآبَارِ الزِّفْتِ، فَانْدَحَرَ مَلِكَا سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ وَسَقَطَا بَيْنَهَا، أَمَّا الْبَاقُونَ فَهَرَبُوا إِلَى الْجِبَالِ.

11 They took all the possessions of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their food, and left.

١١ فَغَنِمَ الْمُنْتَصِرُونَ جَمِيعَ مَا فِي سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ مِنْ مُمْتَلَكَاتٍ وَمُؤَنٍ وَمَضَوْا.

12 They also took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who lived in Sodom, and his possessions, and departed.

١٢ وَأَسَرُوا لُوطاً ابْنَ أَخِي أَبْرَامَ الْمُقِيمَ فِي سَدُومَ، وَنَهَبُوا أَمْلاكَهُ ثُمَّ ذَهَبُوا.

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.

١٣ وَجَاءَ أَحَدُ النَّاجِينَ إِلَى أَبْرَامَ الْعِبْرَانِيِّ، الَّذِي كَانَ مُقِيماً حَتَّى ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ عِنْدَ بَلُّوطَاتِ مَمْرَا أَخِي أَشْكُولَ وَعَانِرَ حُلَفَاءِ أَبْرَامَ، وَأَبْلَغَهُ بِمَا جَرَى.

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.

١٤ فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ أَبْرَامُ أَنَّ ابْنَ أَخِيهِ قَدْ أُسِرَ، جَرَّدَ ثَلاثَ مِئَةٍ وَثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ مِنْ غِلْمَانِهِ الْمُدَرَّبِينَ الْمَوْلُودِينَ فِي بَيْتِهِ وَتَعَقَّبَهُمْ حَتَّى بَلَغَ دَانَ

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.

١٥ وَفِي أَثْنَاءِ اللَّيْلِ قَسَّمَ رِجَالَهُ، وَهَاجَمَهُمْ وَقَهَرَهُمْ، ثُمَّ طَارَدَهُمْ حَتَّى حُوبَةَ شَمَالِيَّ دِمَشْقَ.

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.

١٦ وَاسْتَرَدَّ كُلَّ الْغَنَائِمِ، وَاسْتَرْجَعَ ابْنَ أَخِيهِ لُوطاً وَأَمْلاكَهُ، وَالنِّسَاءَ أَيْضاً وَسِوَاهُمْ مِنَ الأَسْرَى.

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).

١٧ وَجَاءَ مَلِكُ سَدُومَ لِلِقَاءِ أَبْرَامَ فِي وَادِي شَوَى الْمَعْرُوفِ بِوَادِي الْمَلِكِ، بَعْدَ عَوْدَتِهِ مِنْ كَسْرَةِ كَدَرْلَعَوْمَرَ وَالْمُلُوكِ حُلَفَائِهِ.

18 Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; now he was priest of God Most High.

١٨ وَكَذَلِكَ حَمَلَ إِلَيْهِ مَلْكِي صَادِقُ مَلِكُ شَالِيمَ، الَّذِي كَانَ كَاهِناً لِلهِ الْعَلِيِّ، خُبْزاً وَخَمْراً،

19 He blessed him, and said, "Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Maker of heaven and earth:

١٩ وَبَارَكَهُ قَائِلاً: «لِتَكُنْ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبْرَامُ بَرَكَةُ اللهِ الْعَلِيِّ، مَالِكِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ.

20 and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand." And he gave him a tenth of everything.

٢٠ وَتَبَارَكَ اللهُ الْعَلِيُّ الَّذِي دَفَعَ أَعْدَاءَكَ إِلَى يَدَيْكَ». فَأَعْطَاهُ أَبْرَامُ عُشْرَ الْغَنَائِمِ كُلِّهَا.

21 Now the king of Sodom said to Abram, "Give me the people, and take the possessions for yourself."

٢١ وَقَالَ مَلِكُ سَدُومَ لأَبْرَامَ: «أَعْطِنِي الأَسْرَى الْمَعْتُوقِينَ أَمَّا الْغَنَائِمُ فَاحْتَفِظْ بِها لِنَفْسِكَ».

22 Abram said to the king of Sodom, "I have lifted up my hand to God Most High, Maker of heaven and earth,

٢٢ فَأَجَابَهُ أَبْرَامُ: «لَقَدْ أَقْسَمْتُ بِالرَّبِّ الإِلَهِ الْعَلِيِّ، مَالِكِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ،

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.'

٢٣ وَعَاهَدْتُهُ أَلّا آخُذَ شَيْئاً مِمَّا هُوَ لَكَ، وَلَوْ كَانَ خَيْطاً أَوْ شَرِيطَ حِذَاءٍ، لِئَلّا تَقُولَ: أَنَا أَغْنَيْتُ أَبْرَامَ

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."

٢٤ لَنْ آخُذَ غَيْرَ مَا أَكَلَهُ الْغِلْمَانُ. أَمَّا نَصِيبُ الرِّجَالِ الَّذِينَ ذَهَبُوا مَعِي: عَانِرَ وَأَشْكُولَ وَمَمْرَا، فَإِنَّهُمْ يَأْخُذُونَهُ».
