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.
E kindeno Amrafel ruodh Shinar, Ariok ruodh Elasar, Kedorlaomer ruodh Elam kod Tidal ruodh Goyim
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.
nodhi kedo gi Bera ruodh Sodom, Birsha ruodh Gomora, Shinab ruodh Adma, Shemeber ruodh Zeboim kod ruodh Bela (ma tiende ni Zoar).
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].
Ruodhi abichgi duto noriwo jolwenjgi ne kedo e Holo mar Sidim (miluongo ni Nam chumbi).
4 For twelve years he ruled them. But during the thirteenth year they rebelled [and refused to keep giving him tribute money].
Kuom higni apar gariyo negisebedo e bwo loch Kedorlaomer, to e higa mar apar gadek ne gingʼanyo.
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.
E higa mar apar gangʼwen, Kedorlaomer kod ruodhi mane oriwore kode nodhi omonjo kendo oloyo jo-Refai man Ashteroth Karnaim, jo-Zuzim e Ham gi jo-Emi man Shave Kiriathaim,
6 They also defeated the Hor people-group in the hilly area of Seir as far as El-Paran near the desert.
kendo jo-Hori manie gode mag Seir, mane ochwe nyaka El-Paran machiegni gi piny motimo ongoro.
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].
Eka negidwogo chien kendo gidhi nyaka En Mishpat (ma tiende ni Kadesh), kendo negikawo piny jo-Amalek duto gi piny jo-Amor manodak Hazazon Tamar.
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.
Eka ruodh Sodom, ruodh Gomora, ruodh Adma, ruodh Zeboim kod ruodh Bela (ma tiende ni Zoar) nowuok kendo oikore kedo moriedo jolwenjgi e Holo mar Sidim,
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.
mondo oked gi Kedorlaomer ruodh Elam, Tidal ruodh Goyim, Amrafel ruodh Shinar kod Ariok ruodh Elasar mi ruodhi angʼwen-go nokedo gi ruodhi abich.
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.
Holo mar Sidim nopongʼ gi buche mag chwodho, kendo kane ruodhi mag Sodom kod Gomora ringo, moko nopodho e buchego to moko noringo otony e gode.
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.
Ruodhi angʼwen-go noyako gik moko duto mag Sodom kod Gomora kod chiembgi duto mi gidhi.
12 They also captured Abram’s nephew Lot and his possessions, since he was living in Sodom at that time.
Bende negikawo Lut, wuod owadgi Abram kod mwandune duto nikech noyudo odak Sodom.
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].
Ngʼat achiel mane oyudo otony nobiro kendo onyiso Abram ja-Hibrania wachni. E ndalogo Abram nodak e tiend yiende madongo mag Mamre ja-Amor mane omin Eshkol kod Aner, osiepe Abram.
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].
Kane Abram owinjo ni watne oseter e twech, noluongo jotichge machwo motiegore mia adek gapar gaboro kendo olawogi nyaka 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].
Gotieno Abram nopogo jotichnego e migepe mondo omonj ruodhigo kendo negiriembogi mi gilawogi nyaka Hoba, ma yo nyandwat mar Damaski.
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.
Abram nodhi moomo gik moko duto mane joka odhigo kendo noreso Lut wuod owadgi kod mwandune duto kaachiel gi mon kod ji mamoko.
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.
Bangʼ ka Abram noduogo koseloyo Kedorlaomer kod ruodhi mane oriwore kode, ruodh Sodom nobiro mondo orom kode ei Holo mar Shave (ma tiende ni Holo mar Ruoth).
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.
Eka Melkizedek ruodh Salem nokelo makati gi divai. Ne en jadolo mar Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo,
19 Then he blessed Abram, saying “I ask the Supreme God, the one who created heaven and earth, to bless you.
kendo nogwedho Abram kowacho niya, “Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo, Jachwech polo kod piny ogwedhi, in Abram.
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.
Kendo ogwedh Nying Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo mane oketo wasiki e lweti.” Eka Abram nomiye achiel kuom apar mar gik moko duto.
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.”
Ruodh Sodom nowacho ne Abram niya, “Miya ji to idongʼ gi gik moko duto.”
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,
To Abram nowacho ne ruodh Sodom, “Asetingʼo lweta ne Jehova Nyasaye, ma en Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo, Jachwech polo gi piny kendo asekwongʼora
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.’
ni ok nakaw giri moro, kata mana tol kata pat kira, mondo kik chiengʼ moro iwachi ni, ‘An ema ne amiyo Abram obedo jamoko.’
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].
Ok abi kawo gimoro to mana ma joga osechamo kod pok ma joga kaka Aner, Eshkol kod Mamre onego oyudi. Onego giyud pokgi.”
