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.
At nangyari sa mga kaarawan ni Amraphel, hari sa Sinar, ni Ariok hari sa Elasar, ni Chedorlaomer hari sa Elam, at ni Tidal na hari ng mga 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.
Na ang mga ito ay nakipagbaka laban kay Bera hari sa Sodoma, at laban kay Birsha hari sa Gomorra, kay Shinab hari sa Adma, at kay Shemeber, hari sa Zeboim, at sa hari sa Bela (na si 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].
Lahat ng ito'y nagkatipon sa libis ng Siddim (na siyang Dagat na Alat).
4 For twelve years he ruled them. But during the thirteenth year they rebelled [and refused to keep giving him tribute money].
Labingdalawang taong nagsipaglingkod kay Chedorlaomer, at sa ikalabingtatlong taon ay nagsipaghimagsik.
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.
At sa ikalabingapat na taon ay dumating si Chedorlaomer at ang mga haring kasama niya, at sinaktan ang mga Refaim sa Ashteroth-Carnaim, at ang mga Zuzita sa Ham, at ang mga Emita sa Shave-ciriataim.
6 They also defeated the Hor people-group in the hilly area of Seir as far as El-Paran near the desert.
At ang mga Horeo sa kanilang kabundukan ng Seir, hanggang Elparan na nasa tabi ng ilang.
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].
At sila'y nangagbalik at nagsiparoon sa Enmispat (na siyang Cades), at kanilang sinaktan ang buong lupain ng mga Amalecita at pati ng mga Amorrheo na nagsisitahan sa Hazezon-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.
At nagsilabas ang hari sa Sodoma, at ang hari sa Gomorra, at ang hari sa Adma, at ang hari sa Zeboim, at ang hari sa Bela (na dili iba't si Zoar); at sila'y humanay ng pakikipagbaka laban sa kanila sa libis ng 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.
Laban kay Chedorlaomer, hari sa Elam, at kay Tidal na hari ng mga Goiim at kay Amraphel, hari sa Shinar, at kay Arioch, hari sa Elasar; apat na hari laban sa lima.
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.
At ang libis ng Siddim ay puno ng hukay ng betun; at nagsitakas ang mga hari sa Sodoma at sa Gomorra, at nangahulog doon, at ang natira ay nagsitakas sa kabundukan.
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.
At kanilang sinamsam ang lahat ng pag-aari ng Sodoma at Gomorra, at ang lahat nilang pagkain, at nagsiyaon.
12 They also captured Abram’s nephew Lot and his possessions, since he was living in Sodom at that time.
At dinala nila si Lot, na anak ng kapatid ni Abram, na nananahan sa Sodoma at ang kaniyang mga pag-aari at sila'y nagsiyaon.
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].
At dumating ang isang nakatanan, at ibinalita kay Abram na Hebreo; na tumatahan nga sa mga puno ng encina ni Mamre na Amorrheo, kapatid ni Eschol, at kapatid ni Aner; at ang mga ito ay kakampi ni 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].
At pagkarinig ni Abram, na nabihag ang kaniyang kapatid ay ipinagsama ang kaniyang mga subok na lalake, na mga ipinanganak sa kaniyang bahay, na tatlong daan at labing walo, at kanilang hinabol sila hanggang sa 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].
At sila'y nangagpangkatpangkat sa kinagabihan, laban sa kaaway, siya at ang kaniyang mga alipin, at kanilang sinaktan sila, at hinabol nila sila hanggang sa Hobah, na nasa kaliwa ng 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.
At iniuwi niya ang lahat ng pag-aari; at iniuwi rin niya si Lot na kaniyang kapatid, at ang kaniyang mga pag-aari, at gayon din ang mga babae at ang bayan.
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.
At nilabas na sinalubong siya ng hari sa Sodoma pagkatapos na siya'y magbalik na mula sa pagpatay kay Chedorlaomer, at sa mga haring kasama niya sa libis ng Shave (na siyang libis ng hari).
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.
At si Melquisedec, na hari sa Salem, ay naglabas ng tinapay at alak; at siya'y saserdote ng Kataastaasang Dios.
19 Then he blessed Abram, saying “I ask the Supreme God, the one who created heaven and earth, to bless you.
At binasbasan niya siya na sinabi, Pagpalain si Abram ng Kataastaasang Dios, na may-ari ng langit at ng lupa:
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.
At purihin ang Kataastaasang Dios, na nagbigay ng iyong mga kaaway sa iyong kamay. At binigyan siya ni Abram ng ikasangpung bahagi ng buong samsam.
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.”
At sinabi ng hari sa Sodoma kay Abram, Ibigay mo sa akin ang mga tao at kunin mo sa ganang iyo ang mga pag-aari.
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,
At sinabi ni Abram sa hari sa Sodoma, Itinaas ko ang aking kamay sa Panginoong Dios na Kataastaasan, na may ari ng langit at ng lupa.
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.’
Isinumpa kong hindi ako kukuha maging isang sinulid, o maging isang panali ng pangyapak, o ng anomang nauukol sa iyo, baka iyong sabihin, Pinayaman ko si Abram:
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].
Liban na lamang ang kinain ng mga binata at ang bahagi ng mga lalaking kinasama ko; si Aner, si Eschol, at si Mamre, ay pakunin mo ng kanilang bahagi.
