< 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.
१त्यानंतर शिनाराचा राजा अम्राफेल, एल्लासाराचा राजा अर्योक, एलामाचा राजा कदार्लागोमर आणि गोयिमाचा राजा तिदाल यांच्या दिवसात असे झाले की,
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.
२त्यांनी सदोमाचा राजा बेरा, गमोराचा राजा बिर्शा, अदमाचा राजा शिनाब, सबोयिमाचा राजा शमेबर आणि बेला ज्याला सोअर म्हणतात त्याच्या राजांशी युद्ध केले.
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].
३नंतर हे पाच राजे सिद्दीम खोऱ्यात एकत्र जमले. या खोऱ्याला क्षार समुद्र असेही म्हणतात.
4 For twelve years he ruled them. But during the thirteenth year they rebelled [and refused to keep giving him tribute money].
४त्यांनी बारा वर्षे कदार्लागोमरची सेवा केली होती, परंतु तेराव्या वर्षी त्यांनी त्याच्या विरूद्ध बंड केले.
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.
५त्यानंतर चौदाव्या वर्षी कदार्लागोमर व त्याच्या बरोबरचे राजे आले आणि त्यांनी अष्टरोथ-कर्णईम येथे रेफाईम लोकांस, हाम येथे जूजीम लोकांस, शावेह किर्याथाईम येथे एमीम या लोकांस मारले.
6 They also defeated the Hor people-group in the hilly area of Seir as far as El-Paran near the desert.
६आणि होरी यांना त्यांच्या सेईर डोंगराळ प्रदेशात जे एल पारान रान आहे तेथपर्यंत त्यांनी जाऊन मारले.
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].
७नंतर ते मागे फिरून एन-मिशपात म्हणजे कादेश येथे आले. आणि त्यांनी सर्व अमालेकी देशाचा आणि तसेच हससोन-तामार येथे राहणाऱ्या अमोरी लोकांचाही पराभव केला.
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.
८नंतर सदोमाचा राजा, गमोराचा राजा, अदमाचा राजा, सबोयिमाचा राजा आणि बेला म्हणजे सोअराचा राजा ह्यांनी लढाईची तयारी केली.
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.
९एलामाचा राजा कदार्लागोमर, गोयिमाचा राजा तिदाल, शिनाराचा राजा अम्राफेल आणि एल्लासाराचा राजा अर्योक यांच्या विरूद्ध ते लढले. हे चार राजे पाच राजांविरूद्ध लढले.
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.
१०सिद्दीम खोऱ्यात पूर्ण डांबराने भरलेले खड्डे होते आणि सदोम व गमोराचे राजे पळून जाताना त्यामध्ये पडले, जे राहिले ते डोंगराकडे पळून गेले.
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.
११अशा रीतीने शत्रूंनी सदोम व गमोरा नगराच्या सर्व वस्तू आणि त्यांचा सर्व अन्नसाठा लुटून घेऊन माघारी गेले.
12 They also captured Abram’s nephew Lot and his possessions, since he was living in Sodom at that time.
१२ते गेले तेव्हा त्यांनी अब्रामाच्या भावाचा मुलगा लोट जो सदोमात राहत होता, त्यालासुद्धा त्याच्या सर्व मालमत्तेसह नेले.
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].
१३तेथून पळून आलेल्या एकाने अब्राम इब्रीला हे सांगितले. तो तर अष्कोल व आनेर ह्यांचा भाऊ मम्रे अमोरी याच्या एलोन झाडांजवळ राहत होता आणि ते सर्व अब्रामाचे सहकारी होते.
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].
१४जेव्हा अब्रामाने ऐकले की, त्याच्या नातेवाइकांना शत्रूंनी पकडून नेले आहे तेव्हा त्याने आपल्या घरी जन्मलेली, लढाईचे शिक्षण घेतलेली तीनशे अठरा माणसे घेऊन सरळ दान नगरापर्यंत शत्रूंचा पाठलाग केला.
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].
१५त्याने रात्री त्याचे लोक त्यांच्याविरुद्ध विभागले आणि त्यांच्यावर हल्ला केला आणि दिमिष्काच्या डावीकडे होबापर्यंत त्यांचा पाठलाग केला.
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.
१६अब्रामाने सगळी मालमत्ता आणि त्याचा नातेवाइक लोट आणि त्याच्या वस्तू, त्याचप्रमाणे स्त्रिया आणि इतर लोक यांना परत आणले.
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.
१७मग कदार्लागोमर व त्याच्याबरोबरचे राजे यांचा पराभव केल्यावर अब्राम परत आला तेव्हा सदोमाचा राजा शावेच्या खोऱ्यात त्यास भेटायला बाहेर आला. या खोऱ्याला राजाचे खोरे असे म्हणतात.
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.
१८देवाचा याजक असलेला शालेमाचा राजा मलकीसदेक भाकर व द्राक्षरस घेऊन अब्रामाला भेटण्यास आला. हा परात्पर देवाचा याजक होता.
19 Then he blessed Abram, saying “I ask the Supreme God, the one who created heaven and earth, to bless you.
१९त्याने अब्रामाला आशीर्वाद देऊन म्हटले, “अब्रामा, आकाश व पृथ्वी यांचा उत्पन्नकर्ता परात्पर देव तुला आशीर्वाद देवो.
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.
२०परात्पर देव ज्याने तुझे शत्रू तुझ्या हाती दिले तो धन्यवादित असो.” तेव्हा अब्रामाने त्यास सर्वाचा दहावा भाग दिला.
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.”
२१सदोमाचा राजा अब्रामास म्हणाला, “मला फक्त माझे लोक द्या आणि तुमच्यासाठी वस्तू घ्या.”
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,
२२अब्राम सदोमाच्या राजाला म्हणाला, “आकाश व पृथ्वीचा उत्पन्नकर्ता परमेश्वर परात्पर देव याच्यासमोर आपला हात उंचावून मी वचन देतो की,
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.’
२३तुझा दोरा, चपलेचा बंध, किंवा जे तुझे आहे त्यातून मी काहीच घेणार नाही, नाहीतर तू म्हणशील, ‘अब्रामाला मी धनवान केले.’
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].
२४माझ्या या तरुणांनी जे अन्न खाल्ले आहे तेवढे पुरे. आनेर, अष्कोल व मम्रे हे जे पुरुष माझ्याबरोबर गेले त्यांना आपापला वाटा घेऊ द्या.”
