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.
Ary tamin’ ny andron’ i Amrafela, mpanjakan’ i Sinara, sy Arioka, mpanjakan’ i Elasara, sy Kedorlaomera mpanjakan’ i Elama, ary Tidala, mpanjakan’ ny Goïma,
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.
dia nandeha izy ireo ka nanafika an’ i Bera, mpanjakan’ i Sodoma, sy Birsa, mpanjakan’ i Gomora, sy Sinaba, mpanjakan’ i Adma, sy Semebera, mpanjakan’ i Zeboïma, ary ny mpanjakan’ i Bela (dia Zoara izany).
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].
Ary ireo rehetra ireo dia nanao fotoana ka nivory tao an-dohasahan’ i Sidima (dia ny Ranomasin-tsira izany).
4 For twelve years he ruled them. But during the thirteenth year they rebelled [and refused to keep giving him tribute money].
Fa efa nanompo an’ i Kedorlaomera roa ambin’ ny folo taona ireo, fa tamin’ ny taona fahatelo ambin’ ny folo kosa dia niodina izy.
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.
Ary tamin’ ny taona fahefatra ambin’ ny folo dia tonga Kedorlaomera sy ireo mpanjaka nomba azy ka namely ny Refaïta tany Astarta-karnaima sy ny Zozima tany Hama ary ny Emima tany Save-kiriataima
6 They also defeated the Hor people-group in the hilly area of Seir as far as El-Paran near the desert.
ary ny Horita tany an-tendrombohitra Seïra hatrany El-parana, izay eo anilan’ ny efitra.
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].
Dia niverina indray izy ireo ka nankany Ena-mispata (dia Kadesy izany) ka namely ny tany rehetra an’ ny Amalekita sy ny Amorita koa, izay nonina tany Hazazon-tamara.
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.
Dia nivoaka ny mpanjakan’ i Sodoma sy ny mpanjakan’ i Gomora sy ny mpanjakan’ i Adma sy ny mpanjakan’ i Zeboïma ary ny mpanjakan’ i Bela (dia Zoara izany) ka nilahatra hiady amin’ ireo teo an-dohasahan’ i Sidima,
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.
dia tamin’ Kedorlaomera, mpanjakan’ i Elama, sy Tidala, mpanjakan’ ny Goïma sy Amrafela, mpanjakan’ i Sinara ary Arioka, mpanjakan’ i Elasara; dia mpanjaka efatra no niady tamin’ ny mpanjaka dimy.
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.
Ary ny lohasahan’ i Sidima, dia be lavak’ asfalta, ary nandositra ny mpanjakan’ i Sodoma sy ny mpanjakan’ i Gomora ka latsaka tao; ary ny sisa nandositra tany an-tendrombohitra.
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.
Ary izy ireo namabo ny fananana rehetra tao Sodoma sy Gomora ary ny hanina rehetra, dia lasa nandeha.
12 They also captured Abram’s nephew Lot and his possessions, since he was living in Sodom at that time.
Ary namabo ny zana-drahalahin’ i Abrama koa izy, dia Lota, mbamin’ ny fananany, dia lasa nandeha; fa nonina tao Sodoma koa Lota.
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].
Ary tonga ny anankiray izay efa nandositra ka nanambara tamin’ i Abrama Hebreo izay nonina teo an-kazo terebintan’ i Mamre Amorita, rahalahin’ i Eskola sy Anera; fa ireo dia olona efa vita fanekena tamin’ i Abrama.
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].
Ary raha nahare Abrama fa lasan-ko babo ny rahalahiny dia nitondra ny ompikeliny valo ambin’ ny folo amby telon-jato izy, izay efa nahay niady, ka nanenjika hatrany Dana.
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].
Dia nitokotoko hamely azy nony alina izy sy ny andevolahiny; dia namely azy izy ka nanenjika azy hatrany Hoba, izay ao avaratr’ i Damaskosy.
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.
Ary nampody ny fananana rehetra izy, ary Lota rahalahiny sy ny fananany dia nampodiny koa mbamin’ ny vehivavy sy ny vahoaka.
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.
Dia nivoaka ny mpanjakan’ i Sodoma hitsena an’ i Abrama teo an-dohasaha Save (Lohasahan’ ny mpanjaka izany), rehefa niverina izy avy nandresy an’ i Kedorlaomera sy ireo mpanjaka nomba azy.
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.
Ary Melkizedeka, mpanjakan’ i Salema, nivoaka nitondra mofo sy divay; ary izy dia mpisoron’ Andriamanitra Avo Indrindra.
19 Then he blessed Abram, saying “I ask the Supreme God, the one who created heaven and earth, to bless you.
Dia nitso-drano azy Izy ka nanao hoe: Hotahin’ Andriamanitra Avo indrindra anie Abrama, dia Andriamanitra Izay nahary ny lanitra sy ny tany;
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.
Ary isaorana anie Andriamanitra Avo Indrindra, Izay efa nanolotra ny fahavalonao teo an-tananao. Dia nomen’ i Abrama azy ny ampahafolon’ ny zavatra rehetra.
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.”
Ary hoy ny mpanjakan’ i Sodoma tamin’ i Abrama: Omeo ahy ny olona, fa ny fananana ento ihany ho anao.
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,
Fa hoy Abrama tamin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Sodoma: Izaho efa nanangan-tanana tamin’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitra Avo Indrindra, Izay nahary ny lanitra sy ny tany,
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.’
fa tsy handray na taretra na fehin-kapa aza amin’ izay rehetra mety ho anao andrao hataonao hoe: Izaho no nampanan-karena an’ i 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].
afa-tsy izay efa nohanin’ ny zatovo sy ny anjaran’ ny olona izay niaraka tamiko, dia Anera sy Eskola ary Mamre; aoka horaisin’ ireo ny anjarany.
