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,
Na ɛbaa sɛ Babiloniahene Amrafel, Elasarhene Ariok, Elamhene Kedorlaomer, Goiimhene Tideal berɛ so,
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).
na saa ahemfo yi ne Sodomhene Birsa, Gomorahene Birsa, Admahene Sinab, Seboimhene Semeber ne Belahene a na wɔfrɛ no Soar no dii ako.
3 These latter five kings joined together in the Valley of Siddim (also called the Salt Sea).
Saa ahemfo yi a ɛyɛ Sodomhene, Gomorahene, Admahene, Seboimhene ne Belahene boaboaa wɔn akodɔm ano wɔ Sidim subɔnhwa a ɛno ne Nkyene Ɛpo no mu.
4 Twelve years they had served Kedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
Wɔsomm Kedorlaomer mfeɛ dumienu, na afe a ɛtɔ so dumiɛnsa mu no, wɔtee atua.
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,
Afe akyiri no, Kedorlaomer ne ahemfo a wɔbɛkaa ne ho no tuu ɔsa. Na wɔko dii saa nnipa yi so nkonim: Refaimfoɔ, a wɔwɔ Asterot-Karnaim ne Susifoɔ a wɔwɔ Ham ne Emifoɔ a wɔwɔ Kiriataim
6 and the Horites in their hill country of Seir, as far as El Paran, which is near the desert.
ne Horifoɔ a wɔwɔ bepɔ Seir so de kɔsi El-Paran a ɛda ɛserɛ ano no.
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.
Afei, wɔsane wɔn akyiri baa En-Mispat a, akyire no, wɔfrɛɛ no Kades bɛkunkumm Amalekfoɔ ne Amorifoɔ nso a na wɔte Hasason-Tamar, sɛee wɔn ɔman no nyinaa.
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
Afei, saa ahemfo baanum yi a wɔn ne Sodomhene, Gomorahene, Admahene, Seboimhene ne Belahene a akyire yi, wɔfrɛ no Soar no kɔɔ
9 against Kedorlaomer, king of Elam, Tidal, king of Goiim, Amraphel, king of Shinar, Arioch, king of Ellasar; four kings against the five.
saa ahemfo baanan yi a wɔn ne Elamhene Kedorlaomer, Goiimhene Tideal, Sinearhene Amrafel ne Elasarhene Ariok nkyɛn. Wɔkɔhyiaa wɔ Sidim subɔnhwa mu.
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.
Na nkomena pii wɔ Sidim Bɔnhwa no mu a wɔatu ama wɔ hɔ pɛn. Enti, ɛbaa sɛ Sodomhene ne Gomorahene akodɔm no redwane no, wɔn mu bi kɔtotɔɔ nkomena no mu, na nkaeɛ no nso dwane kɔɔ mmepɔ a na ɛwɔ hɔ no so.
11 So the kings took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their provisions, and went their way.
Ahemfo baanan a wɔdii nkonim no fom Sodom ne Gomorafoɔ ahodeɛ ne wɔn nnuane nyinaa de kɔeɛ.
12 When they went, they also took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who was living in Sodom, along with all his possessions.
Esiane sɛ na Abram nuabarima ba Lot te Sodom asase so no enti, nkonimdifoɔ no faa ɔno ne nʼagyapadeɛ nyinaa kɔeɛ.
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.
Na Sodom ne Gomora adwanefoɔ no mu baako bɛbɔɔ Hebrini Abram ɔko no mu amaneɛ. Saa ɛberɛ no, na Abram abɔ ne ho atenaseɛ wɔ odum kwaeɛ bi a ɛyɛ Amorini Mamrɛ dea no ase. Mamrɛ yi nso, na ne nuanom ne Eskol ne Aner a na wɔyɛ Abram aboafoɔ no.
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.
Ɛberɛ a Abram tee sɛ wɔafa ne busuani Lot dommum no, ɔboaboaa ne fiefoɔ nnipa ahasa ne dunwɔtwe a wɔatete wɔn sɛ akofoɔ ano, ma wɔtii atamfoɔ no, kɔsii kuro bi a wɔfrɛ no Dan mu.
15 He divided his men against them at night and attacked them, and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is north of Damascus.
Ɛda no anadwo, Abram kyekyɛɛ nʼakodɔm no mu, ma wɔto hyɛɛ atamfoɔ no so, kunkumm wɔn, taa wɔn kɔduruu kuro bi a wɔfrɛ no Hoba a ɛwɔ Damasko atifi fam no mu.
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.
Abram gyee ɔko mu nneɛma a wɔfaeɛ no nyinaa faa ne busuani Lot ne nʼagyapadeɛ ne mmaa ne nnipa foforɔ a wɔkyekyee wɔn no nyinaa sane baeɛ.
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).
Abram kɔdii Kedorlaomer ne ahemfo a na wɔka ne ho no so nkonim akyiri no, Sodomhene bɛhyiaa no wɔ Sawe bɔnhwa a ɛno ara na wɔfrɛ no Ɔhene Bɔnhwa no mu.
18 Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High.
Na Salemhene Melkisedek a na ɔyɛ Ɔsorosoro Awurade Onyankopɔn ɔsɔfoɔ no de burodo ne nsã brɛɛ no.
19 He blessed him saying, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth.
Afei, Melkisedek hyiraa Abram sɛ: “Ɔsorosoro Onyankopɔn a ɔbɔɔ soro ne asase, nhyira nka wo, Abram.
20 Blessed be God Most High, who has given your enemies into your hand.” Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.
Na nhyira nka Ɔsorosoro Onyankopɔn, a ɔde wʼatamfoɔ ahyɛ wo nsam no.” Na Abram maa Melkisedek nneɛma a ne nsa kaeɛ no nyinaa mu biara nkyekyɛmu edu mu baako.
21 The king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people, and take the goods for yourself.”
Afei, Sodomhene ka kyerɛɛ Abram sɛ, “Fa me nnipa a wofaa wɔn no ma me kɛkɛ, na wo nso, fa nneɛma a aka no nyinaa.”
22 Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have lifted up my hand to Yahweh, God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth,
Nanso, Abram ka kyerɛɛ Sodomhene sɛ, “Madi nse aka ntam akyerɛ Ɔsorosoro Onyankopɔn, ɔsoro ne asase yɛfoɔ sɛ,
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.'
Merennye biribiara, sɛ ɛyɛ asaawa ahoma baako anaa mpaboa so ahoma mpo, mfiri wo nkyɛn, na woanka da sɛ, ‘Me na memaa Abram nyaa ne ho.’
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.”
Merennye hwee mfiri wo nkyɛn, gye deɛ me mmarima yi adi nko. Me nkurɔfoɔ Aner, Eskol ne Mamrɛ deɛ, ma wɔn wɔn kyɛfa.”
