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.
A kad bješe Amarfal car Senarski, Arioh car Elasarski, Hodologomor car Elamski i Targal car Gojimski,
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.
Zavojštiše na Valu cara Sodomskoga, i na Varsu cara Gomorskoga, i na Senara cara Adamskoga, i na Simovora cara Sevojimskoga i na cara od Valake, koja je sada Sigor.
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].
Svi se ovi skupiše u dolini Sidimskoj, koja je sada slano more.
4 For twelve years he ruled them. But during the thirteenth year they rebelled [and refused to keep giving him tribute money].
Dvanaest godina bjehu služili Hodologomoru, pa trinaeste godine odmetnuše se.
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 èetrnaeste godine doðe Hodologomor i carevi koji bijahu s njim, i pobiše Rafaje u Astarotu Karnajimskom i Zuzeje u Amu i Omeje u polju Kirijatajskom,
6 They also defeated the Hor people-group in the hilly area of Seir as far as El-Paran near the desert.
I Horeje u planini njihovoj Siru do ravnice Faranske pokraj pustinje.
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].
Otuda vrativši se doðoše u En-Mispat, koji je sada Kadis, i isjekoše sve koji življahu u zemlji Amalièkoj, i Amoreje koji življahu u Asason-Tamaru.
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.
Tada izide car Sodomski i car Gomorski i car Adamski i car Sevojimski i car od Valake, koja je sada Sigor, izidoše na njih u dolinu Sidimsku,
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.
Na Hodologomora cara Elamskoga, i na Targala cara Gojimskoga, i na Amarfala cara Senarskoga, i na Arioha cara Elasarskoga, èetiri cara na pet.
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 u dolini Sidimskoj bijaše mnogo rupa iz kojih se vadila smola; i pobježe car Sodomski i car Gomorski, i ondje padoše, a što osta pobježe u planinu.
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.
I uzeše sve blago u Sodomu i Gomoru i svu hranu njihovu, i otidoše.
12 They also captured Abram’s nephew Lot and his possessions, since he was living in Sodom at that time.
Uzeše i Lota, sinovca Avramova, i blago njegovo, i otidoše, jer življaše u Sodomu.
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].
A doðe jedan koji bješe utekao, te javi Avramu Jevrejinu, koji življaše u ravni Mamrija Amorejina, brata Esholu i brata Avnanu, koji bjehu u vjeri s Avramom.
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].
A kad Avram èu da mu se zarobio sinovac, naoruža sluge svoje, trista osamnaest, koji se rodiše u njegovoj kuæi, i poðe u potjeru do 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].
Ondje razredivši svoje udari na njih noæu sa slugama svojim, i razbi ih, i otjera ih do Hovala, koji je na lijevo od Damaska,
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.
I povrati sve blago; povrati i Lota sinovca svojega s blagom njegovijem, i žene i ljude.
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.
A car Sodomski izide mu na susret kad se vrati razbivši Hodologomora i careve što bijahu s njim, u dolinu Savinu, koje je sada dolina careva.
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.
A Melhisedek car Salimski iznese hljeb i vino; a on bijaše sveštenik Boga višnjega.
19 Then he blessed Abram, saying “I ask the Supreme God, the one who created heaven and earth, to bless you.
I blagoslovi ga govoreæi: blagosloven da je Avram Bogu višnjemu, èije je nebo i zemlja!
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.
I blagosloven da je Bog višnji, koji predade neprijatelje tvoje u ruke tvoje! I dade mu Avram desetak od svega.
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.”
A car Sodomski reèe Avramu: daj meni ljude, a blago uzmi sebi.
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,
A Avram reèe caru Sodomskom: dižem ruku svoju ka Gospodu Bogu višnjemu, èije je nebo i zemlja, zaklinjuæi se:
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.’
Ni konca ni remena od obuæe neæu uzeti od svega što je tvoje, da ne reèeš: ja sam obogatio Avrama;
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].
Osim što su pojeli momci, i osim dijela ljudima koji su išli sa mnom, Esholu, Avnanu i Mamriju, oni neka uzmu svoj dio.
