Genesis 14
1 It came about in the days of Amraphel, king of Shinar, Arioch, king of Ellasar, Kedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of Goiim,
當暗拉非作示拿王，亞略作以拉撒王，基大老瑪作以攔王，提達作戈印王的時候，
2 that they made war against Bera, king of Sodom, Birsha, king of Gomorrah, Shinab, king of Admah, Shemeber, king of Zeboyim, and the king of Bela (also called Zoar).
他們都攻打所多瑪王比拉、蛾摩拉王比沙、押瑪王示納、洗扁王善以別，和比拉王；比拉就是瑣珥。
3 These latter five kings joined together in the Valley of Siddim (also called the Salt Sea).
這五王都在西訂谷會合；西訂谷就是鹽海。
4 Twelve years they had served Kedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
他們已經事奉基大老瑪十二年，到十三年就背叛了。
5 Then in the fourteenth year, Kedorlaomer and the kings who were with him came and attacked the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, the Zuzites in Ham, the Emites in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
十四年，基大老瑪和同盟的王都來在亞特律‧加寧，殺敗了利乏音人，在哈麥殺敗了蘇西人，在沙微‧基列亭殺敗了以米人，
6 and the Horites in their hill country of Seir, as far as El Paran, which is near the desert.
在何利人的西珥山殺敗了何利人，一直殺到靠近曠野的伊勒‧巴蘭。
7 Then they turned and came to En Mishpat (also called Kadesh), and defeated all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites who lived in Hazezon Tamar.
他們回到安‧密巴，就是加低斯，殺敗了亞瑪力全地的人，以及住在哈洗遜‧他瑪的亞摩利人。
8 Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboyim, and the king of Bela (also called Zoar) went out and prepared for battle in the Valley of Siddim
於是所多瑪王、蛾摩拉王、押瑪王、洗扁王，和比拉王（比拉就是瑣珥）都出來，在西訂谷擺陣，與他們交戰，
9 against Kedorlaomer, king of Elam, Tidal, king of Goiim, Amraphel, king of Shinar, Arioch, king of Ellasar; four kings against the five.
就是與以攔王基大老瑪、戈印王提達、示拿王暗拉非、以拉撒王亞略交戰；乃是四王與五王交戰。
10 Now the Valley of Siddim was full of tar pits, and as the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, they fell in there. Those who were left fled to the mountains.
西訂谷有許多石漆坑。所多瑪王和蛾摩拉王逃跑，有掉在坑裏的，其餘的人都往山上逃跑。
11 So the kings took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their provisions, and went their way.
四王就把所多瑪和蛾摩拉所有的財物，並一切的糧食都擄掠去了；
12 When they went, they also took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who was living in Sodom, along with all his possessions.
又把亞伯蘭的姪兒羅得和羅得的財物擄掠去了。當時羅得正住在所多瑪。
13 One who had escaped came and told Abram the Hebrew. He was living by the oaks that belonged to Mamre, the Amorite, who was the brother of Eshkol and Aner, who were all allies of Abram.
有一個逃出來的人告訴希伯來人亞伯蘭；亞伯蘭正住在亞摩利人幔利的橡樹那裏。幔利和以實各並亞乃都是弟兄，曾與亞伯蘭聯盟。
14 Now when Abram heard that enemies had captured his relative, he led out his 318 trained men who had been born in his house, and he pursued them as far as Dan.
亞伯蘭聽見他姪兒被擄去，就率領他家裏生養的精練壯丁三百一十八人，直追到但，
15 He divided his men against them at night and attacked them, and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is north of Damascus.
便在夜間，自己同僕人分隊殺敗敵人，又追到大馬士革左邊的何把，
16 Then he brought back all the possessions, and also brought back his relative Lot and his goods, as well as the women and the other people.
將被擄掠的一切財物奪回來，連他姪兒羅得和他的財物，以及婦女、人民也都奪回來。
17 After Abram returned from defeating Kedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (also called the King's Valley).
亞伯蘭殺敗基大老瑪和與他同盟的王回來的時候，所多瑪王出來，在沙微谷迎接他；沙微谷就是王谷。
18 Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High.
又有撒冷王麥基洗德帶着餅和酒出來迎接；他是至高上帝的祭司。
19 He blessed him saying, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth.
他為亞伯蘭祝福，說：「願天地的主、至高的上帝賜福與亞伯蘭！
20 Blessed be God Most High, who has given your enemies into your hand.” Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.
至高的上帝把敵人交在你手裏，是應當稱頌的！」亞伯蘭就把所得的拿出十分之一來，給麥基洗德。
21 The king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people, and take the goods for yourself.”
所多瑪王對亞伯蘭說：「你把人口給我，財物你自己拿去吧！」
22 Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have lifted up my hand to Yahweh, God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth,
亞伯蘭對所多瑪王說：「我已經向天地的主－至高的上帝耶和華起誓：
23 that I will not take a thread, a sandal strap, or anything that is yours, so that you can never say, 'I have made Abram rich.'
凡是你的東西，就是一根線、一根鞋帶，我都不拿，免得你說：『我使亞伯蘭富足！』
24 I will take nothing except what the young men have eaten and the share of the men that went with me. Let Aner, Eshkol, and Mamre take their portion.”
只有僕人所吃的，並與我同行的亞乃、以實各、幔利所應得的分，可以任憑他們拿去。」
