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.
| در آن زمان امرافل پادشاه بابِل، اریوک پادشاه الاسار، کَدُرلاعُمَر پادشاه عیلام و تدعال پادشاه قوئیم، |
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.
| با پادشاهان زیر وارد جنگ شدند: بارع پادشاه سدوم، برشاع پادشاه عموره، شنعاب پادشاه ادمه، شم‌ئیبر پادشاه صبوئیم، و پادشاه بالع (بالع همان صوغر است). |
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].
| پس پادشاهان سدوم، عموره، ادمه، صبوئیم و بالع با هم متحد شده، لشکرهای خود را در درۀ سدّیم که همان درۀ دریای مرده است، بسیج نمودند. |
4 For twelve years he ruled them. But during the thirteenth year they rebelled [and refused to keep giving him tribute money].
| ایشان دوازده سال زیر سلطهٔ کدرلاعمر بودند. اما در سال سیزدهم شورش نمودند و از فرمان وی سرپیچی کردند. |
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.
| در سال چهاردهم، کدرلاعمر با پادشاهان هم‌پیمانش به این قبایل حمله برده، آنها را شکست داد: رفائی‌ها در زمین عشتروت قرنین، زوزی‌ها در هام، ایمی‌ها در دشت قریتین، |
6 They also defeated the Hor people-group in the hilly area of Seir as far as El-Paran near the desert.
| حوری‌ها در کوه سعیر تا ایل فاران واقع در حاشیهٔ صحرا. |
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].
| سپس به عین مشفاط (که بعداً قادش نامیده شد) رفتند و عمالیقی‌ها و همچنین اموری‌ها را که در حَصّون تامار ساکن بودند، شکست دادند. |
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.
| آنگاه لشکریان پادشاهان سدوم، عموره، ادمه، صبوئیم و بالع (صوغر) بیرون آمده، در وادی سِدّیم صف‌آرایی کردند. |
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.
| آنها با کدرلاعمر پادشاه عیلام، تدعال پادشاه گوییم، امرافل پادشاه بابِل، و اریوک پادشاه الاسار وارد جنگ شدند؛ چهار پادشاه علیه پنج پادشاه. |
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.
| درهٔ سدّیم پُر از چاههای قیر طبیعی بود. وقتی پادشاهان سدوم و عموره می‌گریختند، به داخل چاههای قیر افتادند، اما سه پادشاه دیگر به کوهستان فرار کردند. |
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.
| پس پادشاهان فاتح، شهرهای سدوم و عموره را غارت کردند و همهٔ اموال و مواد غذایی آنها را بردند. |
12 They also captured Abram’s nephew Lot and his possessions, since he was living in Sodom at that time.
| آنها لوط، برادرزادهٔ ابرام را نیز که در سدوم ساکن بود، با تمام اموالش با خود بردند. |
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].
| یکی از مردانی که از چنگ دشمن گریخته بود، این خبر را به ابرامِ عبرانی رساند. در این موقع ابرام در بلوطستانِ ممری اموری زندگی می‌کرد. (ممری اموری برادر اشکول و عانر بود که با ابرام همپیمان بودند.) |
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].
| چون ابرام از اسیری برادرزاده‌اش لوط آگاهی یافت، ۳۱۸ نفر از افراد کارآزمودهٔ خود را آماده کرد و سپاه دشمن را تا دان تعقیب نمود. |
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].
| شبانگاه ابرام همراهان خود را به چند گروه تقسیم کرده، بر دشمن حمله برد و ایشان را تار و مار کرد و تا حوبَه که در شمالِ دمشق واقع شده است، تعقیب نمود. |
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.
| ابرام، برادرزاده‌اش لوط و زنان و مردانی را که اسیر شده بودند، با همهٔ اموالِ غارت شده پس گرفت. |
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.
| هنگامی که ابرام کدرلاعمر و پادشاهان همپیمان او را شکست داده، مراجعت می‌نمود، پادشاه سدوم تا درهٔ شاوه (که بعدها درهٔ پادشاه نامیده شد) به استقبال ابرام آمد. |
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.
| همچنین مِلکیصِدِق، پادشاه سالیم که کاهن خدای متعال هم بود، برای ابرام نان و شراب آورد. |
19 Then he blessed Abram, saying “I ask the Supreme God, the one who created heaven and earth, to bless you.
| آنگاه مِلکیصِدِق، ابرام را برکت داد و چنین گفت: «مبارک باد اَبرام از جانب خدای متعال، خالق آسمان و زمین. |
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.
| و متبارک باد خدای متعال، که دشمنانت را به دستت تسلیم کرد.» سپس ابرام از غنائم جنگی، به مِلکیصِدِق ده‌یک داد. |
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.”
| پادشاه سدوم به ابرام گفت: «مردمِ مرا به من واگذار، ولی اموال را برای خود نگاه دار.» |
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,
| ابرام در جواب گفت: «قسم به یهوه خدا، خدای متعال، خالق آسمان و زمین، |
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.’
| که حتی یک سر سوزن از اموال تو را برنمی‌دارم، مبادا بگویی من ابرام را ثروتمند ساختم. |
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].
| تنها چیزی که می‌پذیرم، خوراکی است که افراد من خورده‌اند؛ اما سهم عانر و اشکول و ممری را که همراه من با دشمن جنگیدند، به ایشان بده.» |
