Genesis 14
1 In the days of Amraphel, king of Shinar; Arioch, king of Ellasar; Chedorlaomer, king of Elam; and Tidal, king of Goiim,
Pada zaman Amrafel, raja Sinear, Ariokh, raja Elasar, Kedorlaomer, raja Elam, dan Tideal, raja Goyim, terjadilah,
2 they made war with Bera, king of Sodom; Birsha, king of Gomorrah; Shinab, king of Admah; Shemeber, king of Zeboiim; and the king of Bela (also called Zoar).
bahwa raja-raja ini berperang melawan Bera, raja Sodom, Birsya, raja Gomora, Syinab, raja Adma, Syemeber, raja Zeboim dan raja negeri Bela, yakni negeri Zoar.
3 All these joined together in the valley of Siddim (also called the Salt Sea).
Raja-raja yang disebut terakhir ini semuanya bersekutu dan datang ke lembah Sidim, yakni Laut Asin.
4 They served Chedorlaomer for twelve years, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
Dua belas tahun lamanya mereka takluk kepada Kedorlaomer, tetapi dalam tahun yang ketiga belas mereka memberontak.
5 In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him came and struck the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, the Zuzim in Ham, the Emim in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
Dalam tahun yang keempat belas datanglah Kedorlaomer serta raja-raja yang bersama-sama dengan dia, lalu mereka mengalahkan orang Refaim di Asyterot-Karnaim, orang Zuzim di Ham, orang Emim di Syawe-Kiryataim
6 and the Horites in their Mount Seir, to El Paran, which is by the wilderness.
dan orang Hori di pegunungan mereka yang bernama Seir, sampai ke El-Paran di tepi padang gurun.
7 They returned, and came to En Mishpat (also called Kadesh), and struck all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that lived in Hazazon Tamar.
Sesudah itu baliklah mereka dan sampai ke En-Mispat, yakni Kadesh, dan mengalahkan seluruh daerah orang Amalek, dan juga orang Amori, yang diam di Hazezon-Tamar.
8 The king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (also called Zoar) went out; and they set the battle in array against them in the valley of Siddim
Lalu keluarlah raja negeri Sodom, raja negeri Gomora, raja negeri Adma, raja negeri Zeboim dan raja negeri Bela, yakni negeri Zoar, dan mengatur barisan perangnya melawan mereka di lembah Sidim,
9 against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, Tidal king of Goiim, Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings against the five.
melawan Kedorlaomer, raja Elam, Tideal, raja Goyim, Amrafel, raja Sinear, dan Ariokh, raja Elasar, empat raja lawan lima.
10 Now the valley of Siddim was full of tar pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and some fell there. Those who remained fled to the hills.
Di lembah Sidim itu di mana-mana ada sumur aspal. Ketika raja Sodom dan raja Gomora melarikan diri, jatuhlah mereka ke dalamnya, dan orang-orang yang masih tinggal hidup melarikan diri ke pegunungan.
11 They took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their food, and went their way.
Segala harta benda Sodom dan Gomora beserta segala bahan makanan dirampas musuh, lalu mereka pergi.
12 They took Lot, Abram’s brother’s son, who lived in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
Juga Lot, anak saudara Abram, beserta harta bendanya, dibawa musuh, lalu mereka pergi--sebab Lot itu diam di Sodom.
13 One who had escaped came and told Abram, the Hebrew. At that time, he lived by the oaks of Mamre, the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and brother of Aner. They were allies of Abram.
Kemudian datanglah seorang pelarian dan menceritakan hal ini kepada Abram, orang Ibrani itu, yang tinggal dekat pohon-pohon tarbantin kepunyaan Mamre, orang Amori itu, saudara Eskol dan Aner, yakni teman-teman sekutu Abram.
14 When Abram heard that his relative was taken captive, he led out his three hundred eighteen trained men, born in his house, and pursued as far as Dan.
Ketika Abram mendengar, bahwa anak saudaranya tertawan, maka dikerahkannyalah orang-orangnya yang terlatih, yakni mereka yang lahir di rumahnya, tiga ratus delapan belas orang banyaknya, lalu mengejar musuh sampai ke Dan.
15 He divided himself against them by night, he and his servants, and struck them, and pursued them to Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.
Dan pada waktu malam berbagilah mereka, ia dan hamba-hambanya itu, untuk melawan musuh; mereka mengalahkan dan mengejar musuh sampai ke Hoba di sebelah utara Damsyik.
16 He brought back all the goods, and also brought back his relative Lot and his goods, and the women also, and the other people.
Dibawanyalah kembali segala harta benda itu; juga Lot, anak saudaranya itu, serta harta bendanya dibawanya kembali, demikian juga perempuan-perempuan dan orang-orangnya.
17 The king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, at the valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley).
Setelah Abram kembali dari mengalahkan Kedorlaomer dan para raja yang bersama-sama dengan dia, maka keluarlah raja Sodom menyongsong dia ke lembah Syawe, yakni Lembah Raja.
18 Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High.
Melkisedek, raja Salem, membawa roti dan anggur; ia seorang imam Allah Yang Mahatinggi.
19 He blessed him, and said, “Blessed be Abram of God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth.
Lalu ia memberkati Abram, katanya: "Diberkatilah kiranya Abram oleh Allah Yang Mahatinggi, Pencipta langit dan bumi,
20 Blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand.” Abram gave him a tenth of all.
dan terpujilah Allah Yang Mahatinggi, yang telah menyerahkan musuhmu ke tanganmu." Lalu Abram memberikan kepadanya sepersepuluh dari semuanya.
21 The king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people, and take the goods for yourself.”
Berkatalah raja Sodom itu kepada Abram: "Berikanlah kepadaku orang-orang itu, dan ambillah untukmu harta benda itu."
22 Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have lifted up my hand to Yahweh, God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth,
Tetapi kata Abram kepada raja negeri Sodom itu: "Aku bersumpah demi TUHAN, Allah Yang Mahatinggi, Pencipta langit dan bumi:
23 that I will not take a thread nor a sandal strap nor anything that is yours, lest you should say, ‘I have made Abram rich.’
Aku tidak akan mengambil apa-apa dari kepunyaanmu itu, sepotong benang atau tali kasutpun tidak, supaya engkau jangan dapat berkata: Aku telah membuat Abram menjadi kaya.
24 I will accept nothing from you except that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. Let them take their portion.”
Kalau aku, jangan sekali-kali! Hanya apa yang telah dimakan oleh bujang-bujang ini dan juga bagian orang-orang yang pergi bersama-sama dengan aku, yakni Aner, Eskol dan Mamre, biarlah mereka itu mengambil bagiannya masing-masing."
