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.
És történt Ámrofelnek, Sineor királyának, Árjóchnak, Elloszor királyának, Kedorloómernek, Élom királyának és Szideolnak, Gójim királyának napjaiban,
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.
háborút viseltek Bera, Szodoma királya, Birsó, Goromorrha királya, Síneov, Ádmo királya, Seméver, Cevójim királya és Bela – az Cóar – királya ellen.
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].
Mindezek egyesültek Sziddim völgyében, az a Sóstenger.
4 For twelve years he ruled them. But during the thirteenth year they rebelled [and refused to keep giving him tribute money].
Tizenkét évig szolgálták Kedorloómert, de a tizenharmadik évben föllázadtak.
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.
A tizennegyedik évben pedig eljött Kedorloómer, meg a királyok, akik vele voltak és megverték Refóimot Ásterósz-Kárnájimban és a Zuzimot Homban, és az Émimet Sóvé-Kirjoszojimban,
6 They also defeated the Hor people-group in the hilly area of Seir as far as El-Paran near the desert.
és a Chórit az ő hegységükön, Széiren, Él-Póronig, mely a puszta mellett van.
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].
És visszatérvén elérkeztek Én-Mispothoz, az Kodés és leverték az Amáléki egész földjét és az Emórit is, aki Chácecón-Tomorban lakott.
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.
Ekkor kivonult Szodoma királya, Gomorrha királya; Ádmo királya, Cevójim királya és Béla – az Cóár – királya és sorakoztak ellenük csatára a Sziddim völgyében;
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.
Kedorloómer, Élom királya, Szideol, Gójim királya, Ámrófel, Sineor királya és Árjóch, Eloszor királya ellen: négy király öt ellen.
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.
A Sziddim völgye pedig csupa gyantagödör volt; és menekülte Szodoma meg Gomorrha királyai és beleestek oda, a megmaradottak pedig a hegységbe menekültek.
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.
Elvitték minden vagyonát Szodomának és Gomorrhának, minden eleségüket és elmentek.
12 They also captured Abram’s nephew Lot and his possessions, since he was living in Sodom at that time.
Elvitték Lótot – Ávrom testvérfiát – és vagyonát és elmentek; ő ugyanis Szodomában lakott.
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].
És jött egy menekülő és tudtára adta Ávromnak, az ivrinek; ő pedig lakott Mámré tölgyeinél, az emóriénél, aki Eskól és Ónér fivére volt, és ők Ávrom szövetségesei voltak.
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].
Midőn meghallotta Ávrom, hogy fogságba esett az ő atyafia, fölfegyverezte begyakorlott szolgáit, háza szülötteit, háromszáztizennyolcat és üldözte őket Donig.
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].
És megoszolván rájuk támadt éjszaka, ő és az ő szolgái, megverte őket és üldözte őket Chóvóig, mely Damaszkusztól balra van.
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.
És visszavitte mind a vagyont; és Lótot, az ő atyafiát is, meg annak vagyonát visszavitte, meg az asszonyokat és a népet is.
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.
És kijött ő elébe Szodoma királya, miután ő visszatért megvervén Kedorloómert és a királyokat, akik vele voltak, Sové völgyében, az a király völgye.
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.
És Málki-Cedek, Solém királya kenyeret és bort vitt ki; ő ugyanis papja volt a fölséges Istennek.
19 Then he blessed Abram, saying “I ask the Supreme God, the one who created heaven and earth, to bless you.
És megáldotta őt és mondta: Áldott legyen Ávrom a fölséges Istentől, aki teremtője égnek és földnek.
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.
És áldott legyen a fölséges Isten, ki átszolgáltatta elleneidet kezedbe! És adott neki (Ávrom) tizedet mindenből.
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.”
És mondta Szodoma királya Ávromnak: Add nekem: személyeket, a vagyont pedig vedd magadnak.
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,
És mondta Ávrom Szodoma királyának: Fölemeltem kezemet az Örökkévalóhoz, a fölséges Istenhez, aki teremtője égnek és földnek,
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.’
hogy egy szál fonáltól a sarukötőig, hogy semmit el nem veszek mindabból, ami a tiéd, hogy ne mondjad: Én tettem gazdaggá Ávromot.
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].
Nekem semmit! Csak amit megettek a legények és ama férfiak részét, akik velem mentek: Ónér, Eskól és Mámré, ők vegyék el az ő részüket.
