< 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.
Oo waxaa dhacday waagii Amraafel boqorka u ahaa Shincaar, Aryoogna boqorka u ahaa Ellaasaar, Kedorlaacomerna boqorka u ahaa Ceelaam, Tidcaalna boqorka u ahaa Goyiim,
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.
inay la dirireen Berac oo boqor u ahaa Sodom, iyo Birshac oo boqor u ahaa Gomora, iyo Shinaab oo boqor u ahaa Admah, iyo Shemeeber oo boqor u ahaa Seboyim, iyo boqorkii Belac (oo iyana ahayd Socar).
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].
Kuwanu waxay kulligood isugu yimaadeen Dooxo Siddiim (oo iyana ahayd Baddii Cusbada).
4 For twelve years he ruled them. But during the thirteenth year they rebelled [and refused to keep giving him tribute money].
Laba iyo toban sannadood bay Kedorlaacomer u adeegeen, markaasay sannaddii saddex iyo tobnaad ku caasiyoobeen.
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.
Sannaddii afar iyo tobnaadna waxaa yimid Kedorlaacomer, iyo boqorradii la jiray, oo waxay reer Refaa'iim ku dileen Cashterod Qarnayim, oo reer Suusiimna waxay ku dileen Haam, oo reer Eymiimna waxay ku dileen Shaweh Qiryaatayim,
6 They also defeated the Hor people-group in the hilly area of Seir as far as El-Paran near the desert.
reer Xorna waxay ku dileen buurtoodii Seciir, iyo ilaa Aylfaaraan oo u dhowayd cidlada.
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].
Oo way soo noqdeen, oo waxay yimaadeen Ceyn Mishfaad (oo iyana ahayd Qaadeesh), oo waxay dileen dadkii dalkii reer Camaaleq oo dhan, waxaa kale oo ay dileen reer Amor oo degganaa Hasason 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.
Oo waxaa soo baxay boqorkii Sodom, iyo boqorkii Gomora, iyo boqorkii Admah, iyo boqorkii Seboyim, iyo boqorkii Belac (oo iyana ahayd Socar); oo waxay Dooxo Siddiim ugu diyaargaroobeen inay la dagaallamaan
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.
Kedorlaacomer oo ahaa boqorkii Ceelaam, iyo Tidcaal oo ahaa boqorkii Goyiim, iyo Amraafel oo ahaa boqorkii Shincaar, iyo Aryoog oo ahaa boqorkii Ellaasaar. Waxay ahaayeen afar boqor oo shantii boqor ka gees ah.
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.
Haddaba Dooxo Siddiim waxaa ka buuxay boholo waaweyn oo dhoobo ah; oo boqorradii Gomora iyo Sodom way carareen, oo halkaasay ku dhaceen, intii kalena waxay u carareen xagga buurta.
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.
Oo waxay qaateen alaabtii Sodom iyo Gomora oo dhan, iyo cuntadoodii oo dhan, wayna iska tageen.
12 They also captured Abram’s nephew Lot and his possessions, since he was living in Sodom at that time.
Oo waxaa kaloo ay la tageen Luud, oo ahaa wiilkii Aabraam walaalkiis, oo Sodom degganaa, iyo alaabtiisii oo dhan, wayna iska tageen.
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].
Oo waxaa yimid mid soo baxsaday, oo wuxuu u warramay Aabraam kii ahaa Cibraaniga isagoo ag deggan dhirtii Mamre kii ahaa reer Amor, oo Eshkol iyo Caaneer walaalkood ahaa. Kuwaasu Aabraam bay gaashaanbuur la ahaayeen.
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].
Oo Aabraam markuu maqlay in walaalkiis maxbuus ahaan loola tegey ayuu soo kaxaystay raggiisii la tababbaray oo gurigiisa ku dhashay, iyagoo ah saddex boqol iyo siddeed iyo toban nin, oo wuxuu raacdo ku jiray ilaa Daan.
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].
Oo habeennimo ayuu raggiisii u kala qaybiyey, isaga iyo addoommadiisiiba, oo waxay laayeen colkii, oo ay raacdaysteen ilaa Xoobah, oo Dimishaq xagga bidixda ka ah.
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.
Oo alaabtii oo dhan buu soo celiyey, oo waxaa kale oo uu soo celiyey walaalkiis Luud, iyo alaabtiisii, iyo naagihii, iyo dadkiiba.
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.
Markuu ka soo noqday layntii Kedorlaacomer iyo boqorradii la jiray ka dib ayaa boqorkii Sodom Aabraam kaga hor tegey Dooxo Shaweh oo ahayd Dooxadii Boqorka.
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.
Oo Malkisadaq oo ahaa boqorkii Saalem baa keenay cunto iyo khamri: wuxuuna ahaa wadaadkii Ilaaha ugu sarreeya.
19 Then he blessed Abram, saying “I ask the Supreme God, the one who created heaven and earth, to bless you.
Oo Aabraam buu u duceeyay, oo yidhi, Ilaaha ugu sarreeya, ee leh samada iyo dhulkaba ha barakeeyo Aabraam.
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.
Ammaan waxaa leh Ilaaha ugu sarreeya, oo cadaawayaashaadii gacantaada geliyey. Markaasaa Aabraam wuxuu isagii wax kasta ka siiyey toban meelood oo meel.
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.”
Boqorkii Sodom wuxuu Aabraam ku yidhi, Dadka uun i sii, alaabtana adigu iska qaado.
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,
Laakiin Aabraam wuxuu boqorkii Sodom ku yidhi, Gacantaydaan kor u taagay oo waxaan ku dhaartay Rabbiga, kan ah Ilaaha ugu sarreeya, ee leh samada iyo dhulka,
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.’
inaanan qaadanin miiq ama kab yeelmeheed ama wax adigu aad leedahay, waayo, waaba intaasoo aad tidhaahdaa, Anaa Aabraam hodan ka dhigaye.
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].
Waxba qaadan maayo wixii ay ragga dhallinyarada ahu cuneen mooyaane, iyo qaybtii raggii i raacay. Caaneer iyo Eshkol, iyo Mamre ha qaateen qaybtooda.
