< 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.
Stalo se pak ve dnech těch, že Amrafel král Sinearský, Arioch král Elasarský, Chedorlaomer král Elamitský, a Thádal král Goimský,
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.
Vyzdvihli válku proti Bérovi králi Sodomskému, a proti Bersovi králi Gomorskému, a Senábovi králi Adamatskému, a Semeberovi králi Seboimskému, a králi Bélamskému, to jest Ségorskému.
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].
Všickni tito sjeli se do údolí Siddim, to jest již moře solné.
4 For twelve years he ruled them. But during the thirteenth year they rebelled [and refused to keep giving him tribute money].
Dvanácte let sloužili Chedorlaomerovi, třináctého pak léta zprotivili se.
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.
Protož léta čtrnáctého přitáhl Chedorlaomer a králové, kteříž byli s ním, a pobili Refaimské v Astarotu Karnaimských, a Zuzimské v Cham, a Eminské na rovinách Kariataimských,
6 They also defeated the Hor people-group in the hilly area of Seir as far as El-Paran near the desert.
A Horejské na hoře jich Seir, až k rovině Fáran, kteráž leží nad pouští.
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].
A vracejíce se, přitáhli k En Misfat, kteráž již jest Kádes, a pohubili všecku krajinu Amalechitského, také i Amorejského, bydlícího v Hasesontamar.
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.
Protož vytáhl král Sodomský, a král Gomorský, a král Adamatský, a král Seboimský, a král Bélamský, to jest Ségorský, a sšikovali se proti nim k bitvě v údolí Siddim,
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.
Proti Chedorlaomerovi králi Elamitskému, a Thádalovi králi Goimskému, a Amrafelovi králi Sinearskému, i Ariochovi králi Elasarskému, čtyři králové proti pěti.
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.
(V údolí pak Siddim bylo mnoho studnic klejovatých.) I utíkajíce král Sodomský a Gomorský, padli tam; a kteří pozůstali, utekli na hory.
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.
A pobravše všecko zboží Sodomských a Gomorských, a všecky potravy jich, odtáhli.
12 They also captured Abram’s nephew Lot and his possessions, since he was living in Sodom at that time.
Vzali také Lota, a zboží jeho, syna bratra Abramova, a odjeli; nebo on bydlil v Sodomě.
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].
Přišel pak jeden, kterýž byl utekl, a zvěstoval Abramovi Hebrejskému, kterýž tehdáž bydlil v rovinách Mamre Amorejského, bratra Eškolova a bratra Anerova; nebo ti měli smlouvu s Abramem.
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].
Uslyšev tedy Abram, že by zajat byl bratr jeho, vypravil způsobných k boji a v domě svém zrozených služebníků tři sta a osmnácte, a honil je až k Dan.
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].
A odděliv se, připadl na ně v noci, on i služebníci jeho, a porazil je; a stihal je až k Chobah, kteréž leží na levo Damašku.
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.
I odjal zase všecko zboží; také i Lota bratra svého s statkem jeho zase přivedl, ano i ženy a lid.
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.
Tedy vyšel král Sodomský proti němu, když se navracoval od pobití Chedorlaomera a králů, kteříž byli s ním, k údolí Sáveh, kteréž jest údolí královské.
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.
Melchisedech také král Sálem, vynesl chléb a víno; a ten byl kněz Boha silného nejvyššího.
19 Then he blessed Abram, saying “I ask the Supreme God, the one who created heaven and earth, to bless you.
I požehnal mu a řekl: Požehnaný Abram Bohu silnému nejvyššímu, kterýž vládne nebem a zemí;
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.
A požehnaný Bůh silný nejvyšší, kterýž dal nepřátely tvé v ruce tvé. I dal mu Abram desátky ze všech věcí.
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.”
Král pak Sodomský řekl Abramovi: Dej mi lid, a zboží vezmi sobě.
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,
I řekl Abram králi Sodomskému: Pozdvihl jsem ruky své k Hospodinu, Bohu silnému nejvyššímu, kterýž vládne nebem i zemí,
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.’
Že nevezmu od niti až do řeménka obuvi ze všech věcí, kteréž jsou tvé, abys neřekl: Já jsem obohatil Abrama,
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].
Kromě toliko toho, což snědli bojovníci, a dílu mužů, kteříž se mnou šli, totiž Aner, Eškol a Mamre; oni nechať vezmou díl svůj.
