Genesis 14
1 In a region to the east, there were four kings [who were friends/allies]. They were King Amraphel of Babylonia, King Arioch of Ellasar, King Chedorlaomer of Elam, and King Tidal of Goiim.
Hiche phat laitah chun gal kinah kiboui na ana um'in, hiche a ana ki boui ho chu ahile Amraphel Babylon lengpa Ellasar Arioch lengpa, Elam Kedorlaomer lengpa, chule Tidal Goiim lengpa ahiuve.
2 In an area to the west, there were five other kings. They were King Bera of Sodom, King Birsha of Gomorrah, King Shinab of Admah, King Shemeber of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, the city that is now called Zoar.
Chule akidou piu ho chu Sodom gam lengpa Bera, Birsha Gomorrah lengpa, Shinab Admah lengpa, Shemeber Zeboiim lengpa, chule Bela lengpa (Zoar) kitipa ahiuve.
3 Those five kings and their armies gathered together in Siddim Valley, which is also called the Dead Sea [Valley], to fight against the four kings and their armies. King Chedorlaomer and his army [conquered the armies of those five kings, and demanded that those kings pay him tribute money each year].
Hichea anunung'a leng ho hi Siddim phaicham twithi kol phaicham a apang un ahi.
4 For twelve years he ruled them. But during the thirteenth year they rebelled [and refused to keep giving him tribute money].
Kumsom le kumni sung'a ama ho hi Kedorlaomer lengpa noiya ana kun jing'u ahin, amavang kum som le kum thum lhin kum'in adouvin ahung pang tauve.
5 The next year, King Chedorlaomer and the other kings that were his allies took their armies and defeated the Repha people-group in Ashteroth-Karnaim and the Zuz people-group in Ham, and the Emi people-group in Shaveh-Kiriathaim.
Kum khat jou chun Kedorlaomer lengpa le ama pankhompi lengho chu ahung kon uvin, Rephaim mite chu Ashteroth-Karnaim achun ajou un, Zuzites mite chu Ham achun ajou un, Emim mite chu Shaveh-Kiriathaim achun anajou un,
6 They also defeated the Hor people-group in the hilly area of Seir as far as El-Paran near the desert.
Chule Horite mite chu amolsangu Seir apat gamthip lang gamgi Ei-Paran chan geiyin aga joupeh uvin ahi.
7 Then they turned back and went to Mishpat [city], which is now called Kadesh. They conquered all the land belonging to the Amalek people-group and the Amor people-group who were living in Hazazon-Tamar [town].
Hichun amaho hikoma kon chun akinungle kit uvin Kadesh kiti, tuhin En-misphat achun Hazazontamar a cheng Amorites mite leh Amalekites mite chu agam sung pum pin ajou tauve.
8 Then the armies of the kings of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim and Bela marched out to fight the armies of the other four kings in Siddim Valley. That valley is close to the Salt/Dead Sea.
Hichun leng phalou akiphin ho sese chu Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim, chule Bela (Zoar kitipa) galkon din akigong un twipi-thi phaicham achun gal asat uvin,
9 They fought against the armies of Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, Tidal the king of Goiim, Amraphel the king of Shinar, and Arioch the king of Ellasar. The armies of four kings were fighting against the armies of five kings.
Elam gam lengpa Chedorlaomer le Goiim lengpa Tidal toh, Shinar lengpa Amraphel toh chule Ellasar lengpa Arioch chutoh akisat uvin, hicheng leng li ho chun leng nga ho chu anadou un ahi.
10 The Siddim Valley was full of tar pits. So when the armies of the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah tried to run away, many of the men fell into the tar pits. The others escaped and ran away to the hills.
Amaho se gal akisat jou uchun Twipi-thi kol phaicham achun thih e meichang adim jengin ahi. Hichun Sodom lengpa le Gomorrah lengpa sepoi ho chu ajamdoh un, ama ho loi khat chu kotong sunga alut un, amaho lah a loikhat chu thing lhang lama ajam cheh tauve.
11 As [the armies of the five kings] fled, [the armies of the four kings] seized all of the valuable things in Sodom and Gomorrah, including all the food.
Gal hangsan mihat ho chun Sodom le Gomorrah alokhum un galman chah ho jouse chule neh le chah ho jouse akichom khomun ache tauve.
12 They also captured Abram’s nephew Lot and his possessions, since he was living in Sodom at that time.
Amaho chun Lot, Abram sopipa jong chu amanu vin Sodom a chengpa chu anei thil le agou jouse jong alah peh tauve.
13 Abram was living near the big trees near Mamre, who belonged to the Amor people-group. Abram had made an agreement with Mamre and his two brothers, Eshcol and Aner, [that they would help each other if there was a war].
Hinlah Lot insung mite khat ana sohcha in, amapa chun Abram Hebrew mipa aga seipeh tai, hiche lai chun Abram chu Eshcol le Aner sopipa, Amorites mi Mamre gangpi thing phung vel dunga chun ana cheng nalaiye, amaho jong chu Abram toh ana pangkhom ahiuve.
14 One of the men who escaped from the battle told Abram what had happened and that his nephew Lot had been captured and taken away. So Abram summoned 318 men who were his servants, men who had been with Abram since they were born. They all went together and pursued their enemies as far north as Dan [city].
Hichun Abram in asopipa Lot kimat ajahdoh phat chun aman natoh tohgon ahin neitan, mihem ja thumle som le get phatah a galbol kithem chuhsa ama insunga peng cheh ahin lhengdoh in ama tah in alamkai yin amaho chu Kedarlaomer sepai ho chu Dan geiyin aga nungdel peh'in ahi.
15 During the night, Abram divided the men into several groups, and they attacked their enemies from various directions and defeated them. They pursued them as far as Hobah, which was north of Damascus [city].
Hichun Abram in amaho chu ahom khenin jankim laitah in abulu'un Kedarlaomer sepai ho chu ajam cheh tauve, Abram in amaho sepai ho chu gamla tah anojam'in Damascus khopi sah lang Hobah chan geiyin agadel peh-uvin ahi.
16 Abram’s men recovered all of the goods that had been taken. They also rescued Lot and all his possessions and also the women and others who had been captured by their enemies.
Hiti chun Abram injong asopipa Lot jong, athilkeo chengse toh, numeiho ahiuvin mipi ahiuvin abonchan ahin nungpui soh tai.
17 As Abram was returning home after he and his men had defeated the armies of King Chedorlaomer and the other kings who had fought alongside him, the king of Sodom went north to meet him in Shaveh Valley, which people call the King’s Valley.
Abram chun Kedarlaomer chuleh apankhom pi leng ho aga jo a ahung kinungle lam chun Sodom lengpan Shaveh phaicham (Shaveh tichu lengpa phaicham tina ahi), achun alamto ding in ahunge.
18 The king of Salem [city], whose name was Melchizedek, was also a priest who offered sacrifices to the Supreme God. He brought some bread and wine to Abram.
Hichun Melchizedek Salem lengpa chule Pathen thempu chung-nung pen a pang pan Abram chu lengpitwi chuleh chang-lhah ahin poh peh e.
19 Then he blessed Abram, saying “I ask the Supreme God, the one who created heaven and earth, to bless you.
Melchizedek in Abram chu hiti hin phatthei aboh in hitin aseiye, “Van le leiset hin phutdoh a Pathen chungnung pen kom'a, Abram phattheiboh chang hen,
20 The Supreme God has enabled you to defeat [MTY] your enemies, so we should praise/thank him.” Then Abram gave to Melchizedek a tenth part of all the things he had captured.
Chule na galte nangma khut lum'a lousah a, chungnung pen Pathen chu loupi hen,” ati. Chuin Abram in Melchizedek chu thil jousea kon in hopsom a hopkhat khat apesoh keiye.
21 The king of Sodom said to Abram, “You can keep all the goods you recovered. Just let me take back the people from my city whom you rescued.”
Sodom lengpan Abram jah'a hitin aseiye, “Kanam mite na hentup ho chu nei nungpeh tan, amavang thilkeo ho chengse nang in na mat dohho vang chu nangma adin na kikoi theiye,” atile,
22 But Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have solemnly promised [MTY] to Yahweh, the Supreme God, the one who created heaven and earth,
Abram in Sodom lengpa hitin adonbut in, “Van le leiset hin phutdoh Pakai Pathen chungnung pen koma kaki hahsel ahi tai,
23 that I will not accept even one thread or a thong of a sandal from anything that belongs to you. As a result, you will never be able to say, ‘I caused Abram to become rich.’
Keiman patse jang khat cha hihen lang, kengchot khao jeng cha hijong leh nang thil kiti poupou khatcha kalah louhel ding ahi, nangman Abrham ka hao doh sah tai,” tia nasei thei louna ding in;
24 The only thing I will accept is the food that my men have eaten. But Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre went with me and fought alongside me, so let them also have a share of the goods we brought back.” [So the king of Sodom agreed to what he said].
Ahin keiman ka lah ding chu gollhang hon aneh doh ule mihon ana nehchai hobou chu ahi, chule keiman ka dei lhen pentah chu ahile achen ding uva kilom thil le gouho chu kaloi ka mite Aner, Eshcol chule Mamre amaho petan.
