< 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,
Nʼoge ahụ kwa, Amrafel, eze Shaịna, na Ariok, eze ndị Elasa, na Kedoloma eze Elam, na Tidal eze Goiim,
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).
buru agha megide Bera eze Sọdọm, na Biasha eze Gọmọra, na Shịnab, eze Adma, na Shemeba eze Zeboiim, na eze obodo Bela (ya bụ Zoa).
3 All these joined together in the Valley of Siddim (that is, the Salt Sea).
Ndị eze obodo ndị a: Sọdọm, Gọmọra, Adma, Zeboiim na Bela, jikọtara ndị agha ha ọnụ na Ndagwurugwu Sidim (ya bụ, ndagwurugwu osimiri nnu ahụ).
4 Twelve years they served Kedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year, they rebelled.
Ha fere ofufe nʼokpuru ọchịchị eze Kedoloma afọ iri na abụọ, ma nʼafọ nke iri na atọ, ha nupuru isi.
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,
Nʼafọ nke iri na anọ, eze Kedoloma na ndị eze ya na ha jikọrọ ọnụ buru agha megide ma merie ndị Refaim bi nʼAshterọt Kenaim na ndị Zuzim bi na Ham na ndị Emim bi Kiriatem na Shave,
6 and the Horite, in the hills of Seir, to El Paran, which is near the desert.
na ndị Hor nʼobodo ugwu Sia, ruo obodo El Paran, nke dị nʼakụkụ ọzara.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, ha chigharịrị azụ gaa En Mishpat (ya bụ Kadesh). Ha meriri ala niile nke ndị Amalek nakwa ndị Amọrait bi na Hazezọn Tama.
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
Mgbe ahụ kwa, ndị agha ndị eze obodo Sọdọm na eze Gọmọra, na eze Adma, na eze Zeboiim, na eze Bela (ya bụ Zoa) pụrụ doo onwe ha nʼusoro ibu agha na Ndagwurugwu Sidim,
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.
imegide Kedoloma eze Elam, Tidal eze Goiim, Amrafel eze Shaịna na Ariok eze Elasa. Ya bụ eze ise buru agha megide eze anọ.
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.
Ma Ndagwurugwu Sidim jupụtara nʼolulu apịtị. Mgbe ndị agha eze Sọdọm na Gọmọra bidoro ịgba ọsọ. Ụfọdụ nʼime ha dabanyere nʼime olulu ndị a, ma ndị fọdụrụ gbapụrụ ọsọ gbaga nʼugwu.
11 They took all the possessions of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their food, and left.
Ma eze anọ ndị a banyere nʼime obodo Sọdọm na Gọmọra bukọrọ akụ ha, na ihe oriri ha niile laa.
12 They also took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who lived in Sodom, and his possessions, and departed.
Ha buuru Lọt, nwa nwanne Ebram, onye bi na Sọdọm na ihe niile o nwere, buru ha na-ala ebe ha si bịa.
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.
Ma otu onye gbara ọsọ ndụ site nʼebe ahụ gara kọọrọ Ebram onye Hibru ihe mere. Nʼoge a, Ebram bi nʼebe dị nso nʼosisi ukwu nke Mamre, onye Amọrị, nwanne Eshkọl na Anea, ndị ha na Ebram gbara ndụ.
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.
Mgbe Ebram nụrụ na adọrọla Lọt nwa nwanne ya nʼagha, ọ kpọkọtara ndị ikom a zụrụ azụ na-ejere ya ozi, ndị a mụrụ nʼụlọ ya. Ọnụọgụgụ ha dị narị ndị ikom atọ na iri na asatọ, ha chụrụ ndị agha ahụ ọsọ tutu ha erute 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.
Nʼabalị, Ebram kere ndị agha ya ibuso ndị ahụ agha. O meriri ha, chụọ ha ọsọ, chụruo ha Hoba, nke dị nʼakụkụ ugwu Damaskọs.
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.
Ebram nwetaghachiri ihe niile ahụ ha dọtara nʼagha, dulata nwanne ya Lọt, na ihe onwunwe ya niile, tinyere ndị inyom, na ndị ọzọ niile a dọtara nʼagha.
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).
Mgbe Ebram si na mmeri ahụ o meriri Kedoloma na eze ndị ọzọ ahụ na-alọta, eze Sọdọm bịara zute ya na Ndagwurugwu Shave (nke a na-akpọ Ndagwurugwu Eze).
18 Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; now he was priest of God Most High.
Melkizedek, eze Salem, onye nchụaja Chineke nke kachasị ihe niile elu, wepụtara achịcha na mmanya,
19 He blessed him, and said, "Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Maker of heaven and earth:
ọ gọziri Ebram sị ya, “Ngọzị dịrị Ebram site nʼaka Chineke nke kachasị ihe niile elu, Onye kere eluigwe na ụwa.
20 and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand." And he gave him a tenth of everything.
Ngọzị dịkwara Chineke nke kachasị ihe niile elu, onye weere ndị iro gị nyefee gị nʼaka.” Mgbe ahụ, Ebram nyere ya otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ iri nke ihe niile.
21 Now the king of Sodom said to Abram, "Give me the people, and take the possessions for yourself."
Eze Sọdọm gwara Ebram sị, “Nyeghachi m naanị ndị mmadụ, ma debere onwe gị ihe ndị ọzọ.”
22 Abram said to the king of Sodom, "I have lifted up my hand to God Most High, Maker of heaven and earth,
Ma Ebram zara eze Sọdọm sị, “Eweliri m aka m elu ṅụọ iyi nye Onyenwe anyị Chineke nke kachasị ihe niile elu, Onye kere eluigwe na ụwa, sị
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.'
na agaghị m esi nʼaka gị were ihe ọbụla bụ nke gị, ọ bụladị eriri maọbụ eriri akpụkpọụkwụ. Ka ị ghara ị sị, ‘Ọ bụ m mere ka Ebram baa ọgaranya.’
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."
Naanị ihe m ga-anara bụ ihe ụmụ okorobịa m ndị a riri, ya na oke ruuru Anea, na Eshkọl, na Mamre so m gaa. Nye ha oke ruuru ha.”
