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.
Nos dias de Amraphel, rei de Shinar; Arioch, rei de Ellasar; Chedorlaomer, rei de Elam; e Tidal, rei de Goiim,
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.
fizeram guerra com Bera, rei de Sodoma; Birsha, rei de Gomorra; Shinab, rei de Admah; Shemeber, rei de Zeboiim; e o rei de Bela (também chamado 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].
Todos estes unidos no vale de Siddim (também chamado de Mar Salgado).
4 For twelve years he ruled them. But during the thirteenth year they rebelled [and refused to keep giving him tribute money].
Serviram Chedorlaomer por doze anos, e no décimo terceiro ano se rebelaram.
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.
No décimo quarto ano Chedorlaomer e os reis que estavam com ele vieram e atingiram o Rephaim em Ashteroth Karnaim, o Zuzim em Presunto, o Emim em Shaveh Kiriathaim,
6 They also defeated the Hor people-group in the hilly area of Seir as far as El-Paran near the desert.
e os Horites em seu Monte Seir, a El Paran, que fica no deserto.
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].
Eles voltaram, e vieram para En Mishpat (também chamada Kadesh), e atingiram todo o país dos amalequitas, e também os amoritas, que viviam em 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.
O rei de Sodoma, e o rei de Gomorra, o rei de Admah, o rei de Zeboiim, e o rei de Bela (também chamado Zoar) saíram; e ordenaram a batalha contra eles no vale de Siddim
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.
contra Chedorlaomer, rei de Elam, rei de Goiim, Amraphel, rei de Shinar, e Arioch, rei de Ellasar; quatro reis contra os cinco.
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.
Agora o vale de Siddim estava cheio de poços de alcatrão; e os reis de Sodoma e Gomorra fugiram, e alguns caíram ali. Os que ficaram fugiram para as colinas.
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.
Levaram todos os bens de Sodoma e Gomorra, e toda sua comida, e seguiram seu caminho.
12 They also captured Abram’s nephew Lot and his possessions, since he was living in Sodom at that time.
Levaram Ló, o filho do irmão de Abrão, que vivia em Sodoma, e seus bens, e partiram.
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].
Um que tinha escapado veio e disse a Abram, o hebreu. Naquela época, ele vivia junto aos carvalhos de Mamre, o amorreu, irmão de Eshcol e irmão de Aner. Eles eram aliados de 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].
Quando Abram soube que seu parente tinha sido levado cativo, levou seus trezentos e dezoito homens treinados, nascidos em sua casa, e perseguidos até 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].
Ele se dividiu contra eles à noite, ele e seus servos, e os atingiu, e os perseguiu até Hobah, que está à esquerda de Damasco.
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.
Ele trouxe de volta todos os bens, e também trouxe de volta seu Lote relativo e seus bens, e as mulheres também, e as outras pessoas.
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.
O rei de Sodoma saiu ao seu encontro após seu retorno da matança de Chedorlaomer e dos reis que estavam com ele, no vale de Shaveh (isto é, o Vale do Rei).
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.
Melquisedeque, rei de Salém, trouxe pão e vinho. Ele era sacerdote do Altíssimo de Deus.
19 Then he blessed Abram, saying “I ask the Supreme God, the one who created heaven and earth, to bless you.
Ele o abençoou e disse: “Bendito seja Abrão de Deus Altíssimo, possuidor do céu e da terra”.
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.
Bendito seja o Deus Altíssimo, que entregou seus inimigos em suas mãos”. Abram lhe deu um décimo de tudo.
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.”
O rei de Sodoma disse a Abrão: “Dê-me o povo e leve a mercadoria para si”.
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,
Abram disse ao rei de Sodoma: “Levantei minha mão para Javé, Deus Altíssimo, possuidor do céu e da terra,
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.’
que não pegarei nem um fio, nem uma correia de sandália, nem nada que seja teu, para que não digas: 'Eu fiz Abram rico'.
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].
nada aceitarei de você, exceto aquilo que os jovens comeram, e a porção dos homens que foram comigo: Aner, Eshcol, e Mamre. Deixe-os levar a porção deles”.
