Genesis 14
1 And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim,
Azɔ la, aʋa dzɔ le anyigba la dzi. Amrafel, Sinar fia, Ariok, Elasar fia, Kedolaoma, Elam fia kple Tidal, Goyim fia,
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 (the same is Zoar).
ho aʋa ɖe Bera, Sodom fia, Birsa, Gomora fia, Sinab, Adma fia, Semeber, Zeboyim fia kple Bela fia (si woyɔna be Zoar la) ŋu.
3 All these joined together in the vale of Siddim (the same is the Salt Sea).
Fia siwo tso Sodom, Gomora, Adma, Seboyim kple Bela la na woƒe aʋakɔwo ƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Sidom balime si nye (Dzeƒu la ƒe balime.)
4 Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
Wonye Fia Kedolaoma teviwo ƒe wuieve sɔŋ, ke wotso ɖe fia sia ŋu le ƒe wuietɔ̃lia me.
5 And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh-kiriathaim,
Le ƒe wuienelia me la, Kedolaoma kple fia siwo kpe ɖe eŋu la yi ɖasi Refaimtɔwo le Asterot, Karnaimtɔwo kple Zuzitɔwo le Ham, Emitɔwo le Save Kiriataim
6 and the Horites in their mount Seir, unto El-paran, which is by the wilderness.
kple Horitɔwo le Seir ƒe tonyigba dzi heyi keke El Paran, afi si te ɖe gbegbe la ŋu.
7 And they returned, and came to En-mishpat (the same is Kadesh), and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in Hazazon-tamar.
Wotrɔ azɔ yi En Misfat (afi si woyɔna egbegbe be Kades la), eye woɖu Amalekitɔwo kple Amoritɔwo, ame siwo nɔ Hazazon Tamar la dzi.
8 And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar); and they set the battle in array against them in the vale of Siddim;
Tete fia siwo tso Sodom, Gomora, Adma, Zeboyim kple Bela (si nye Zoar) la yi ɖaƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Sidim Balime,
9 against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings against the five.
ɖe Kedolaoma, Elam fia, Tidal, Goyim fia, Amrafel, Sinar fia kple Ariok, Elasar fia ŋu. Fia ene kpe aʋa kple fia atɔ̃.
10 Now the vale of Siddim was full of slime pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and they fell there, and they that remained fled to the mountain.
Ke aŋɔʋe geɖewo nɔ teƒe ma, eye esi Sodom kple Gomora fiawo si yina la, wo dometɔ aɖewo ge dze aŋɔʋeawo me. Ame mamlɛawo si yi toawo dzi.
11 And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.
Dziɖulawo ha Sodom kple Gomora ƒe kesinɔnuwo kple nuɖuɖuwo katã heɖo ta aƒe kpli wo.
12 And they took Lot, Abram’s brother’s son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
Wolé Lot, ame si nye Abram ƒe tɔgãyɔvi si nɔ Sodom la, eye wokplɔe dzoe kple eƒe kesinɔnuwo katã.
13 And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew: now he dwelt by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner; and these were confederate with Abram.
Ame siwo si la dometɔ ɖeka va ka nya la ta na Abram, Hebritɔ la, esime wònɔ asaɖa me le Mamre si nye Amoritɔ la ƒe ati gãwo te. Mamre nye Eskol kple Aner, ame siwo nɔ Abram dzi la nɔvi.
14 And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he led forth his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued as far as Dan.
Esi Abram se be woɖe aboyo Lot la, eƒo ƒu ame alafa etɔ̃ kple wuienyi siwo nye aʋawɔlawo la tso eƒe aƒe me, eye wòkplɔ aʋakɔ la ɖo va se ɖe Dan.
15 And he divided himself against them by night, he and his servants, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.
Wodze aʋakɔ la dzi le zã ma me, eye wonya wo va se ɖe Hoba le Damasko ƒe anyiehe lɔƒo.
16 And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.
Abram xɔ futɔwo ƒe kesinɔnuwo, Lot kple eƒe kesinɔnuwo hekpe ɖe Lot ƒe nyɔnuwo kple ame bubu siwo katã wolé le aʋa la me la ŋu le futɔwo si.
17 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him, at the vale of Shaveh (the same is the King’s Vale).
Esi Abram trɔ gbɔna tso aʋa si wòho ɖe Kedolaoma kple fia bubuawo ŋu le Save balime (si wogayɔna be Fia ƒe Balime) la, Sodom fia va kpee,
18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was priest of God Most High.
eye Salem fia Melkizedek, ame si nye Mawu, Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ƒe nunɔla la tsɔ abolo kple wain vɛ nɛ,
19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth:
eye wòyra Abram gblɔ be, “Mawu Dziƒoʋĩtɔ, dziƒo kple anyigba wɔla nayra Abram,
20 and blessed be God Most High, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him a tenth of all.
eye woakafu Mawu Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la, ame si tsɔ wò futɔwo de asi na wò la.” Tete Abraham tsɔ nuawo katã ƒe ewolia nɛ.
21 And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.
Sodom fia gblɔ na Abram be, “Ɖe asi le nye ame siwo nèlé la ko ŋu nam, eye nàtsɔ kesinɔnu siwo nèha tso nye du me la faa.”
22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth,
Abram ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Mele adzɔgbe ɖem na Yehowa, Mawu Dziƒoʋĩtɔ, ame si wɔ dziƒo kple anyigba la
23 that I will not take a thread nor a shoelatchet nor aught that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:
be nyemaxɔ ɖetika ɖeka gɔ̃ hã le asiwò o, ne menye nenema o la, àva gblɔ be, ‘Abram zu kesinɔtɔ le nu si menae la ta.’
24 save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men which went with me; Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre, let them take their portion.
Nu si maxɔ koe anye nu si ɖekakpui siawo ɖu. Ke tsɔ kesinɔnuawo ƒe akpa aɖe na Aner, Eskol kple Mamre, ame siwo kpe ɖe ŋunye le aʋa la wɔwɔ me.”
