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.
Pripetilo se je v dneh šinárskega kralja Amraféla, elasárskega kralja Arjóha, elámskega kralja Kedorlaómerja in tidálskega kralja narodov,
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.
da so se ti vojskovali s sódomskim kraljem Berom in gomórskim kraljem Biršájem, admaškim kraljem Šinábom, cebojímskim kraljem Šeméberjem in kraljem Bele, kar je Coar.
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].
Vsi ti so se skupaj srečali v Sidímski dolini, kar je slano morje.
4 For twelve years he ruled them. But during the thirteenth year they rebelled [and refused to keep giving him tribute money].
Dvanajst let so služili Kedorlaómerju, v trinajstem letu pa so se uprli.
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.
V štirinajstem letu je prišel Kedorlaómer ter kralji, ki so bili z njim in udarili Rafájevce pri Ašterót Karnájimu in Zuzéjce pri Hamu in Emejce v Šavé Kirjatájimu
6 They also defeated the Hor people-group in the hilly area of Seir as far as El-Paran near the desert.
in Horéjce na njihovem gorovju Seír, do El Párana, ki je poleg divjine.
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].
In vrnili so se ter prišli do En Mišpáta, kar je Kadeš in udarili vso deželo Amalečanov in tudi Amoréjce, ki so prebivali v Hacecón Tamáru.
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.
In odšli so sódomski kralj, gomórski kralj, admaški kralj, cebojímski kralj in belaški kralj (isti je coarski) in se združili v bitki z njimi v Sidímski dolini
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.
z elámskim kraljem Kedorlaómerjem, s Tidálom, kraljem narodov, šinárskim kraljem Amrafélom in elasárskim kraljem Arjóhom: štirje kralji proti petim.
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.
Sidímska dolina pa je bila polna blatnih jam in sódomski kralj in gomórski kralj sta pobegnila in padla tja. Tisti, ki so preostali, pa so pobegnili h goram.
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.
Pobrali so vse dobrine Sódome in Gomóre in ves njihov živež ter odšli svojo pot.
12 They also captured Abram’s nephew Lot and his possessions, since he was living in Sodom at that time.
Vzeli so Lota, sina Abramovega brata, ki je prebival v Sódomi in njegove dobrine ter odrinili.
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].
Prišel pa je nekdo, ki je pobegnil in povedal Hebrejcu Abramu, kajti ta je prebival na ravnini Amoréjca Mamreja, Eškólovega in Anêrjevega brata; in ti so bili zavezniki z Abramom.
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].
Ko je Abram slišal, da je njegov brat ujet, je oborožil tristo osemnajst svojih izurjenih služabnikov, rojenih v njegovi lastni hiši in jih zasledoval 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].
Ponoči se je razdelil zoper njih, on in njegovi služabniki in jih udaril in jih zasledoval do Hobe, ki je na levi roki 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.
Vse dobrine je privedel nazaj in prav tako je privedel nazaj svojega brata Lota in njegove dobrine in tudi žene in ljudstvo.
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.
Sódomski kralj pa je odšel ven, da ga sreča po njegovi vrnitvi iz pokola Kedorlaómerja in kraljev, ki so bili z njim pri dolini Šavé, ki je kraljeva dolina.
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.
Melkízedek, kralj v Salemu, je prinesel kruh in vino in ta je bil duhovnik najvišjega Boga.
19 Then he blessed Abram, saying “I ask the Supreme God, the one who created heaven and earth, to bless you.
Blagoslovil ga je ter rekel: »Blagoslovljen bodi Abram od najvišjega Boga, lastnika neba in zemlje
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.
in blagoslovljen bodi najvišji Bog, ki je tvoje sovražnike izročil v tvojo roko.« In on mu je dal desetine od vsega.
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.”
Sódomski kralj pa je rekel Abramu: »Daj mi osebe, dobrine pa vzemi zase.«
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 je rekel sódomskemu kralju: »Svojo roko sem dvignil h Gospodu, najvišjemu Bogu, lastniku neba in zemlje,
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.’
da ne bom vzel ne od nitke niti ne do vezalke in da ne bom vzel nobene stvari, ki je tvoja, da ne bi ti rekel: ›Jaz sem Abrama naredil bogatega.‹
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].
Samó tisto, kar so mladeniči pojedli in delež ljudi, ki so šli z menoj, Anêr, Eškól in Mamre; naj si vzamejo svoj delež.«
