< Genesis 14 >

1 And it cometh to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goyim,
當時シナルの王アムラペル、エラサルの王アリオク、エラムの王ケダラオメルおよびゴイムの王テダル等
2 they have made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboim, and the king of Bela, which [is] Zoar.
ソドムの王ベラ、ゴモルの王ビルシア、アデマの王シナブ、ゼボイムの王セメベルおよびベラ(即ち今のゾアル)の王と戰ひをなせり
3 All these have been joined together unto the valley of Siddim, which [is] the Salt Sea;
是等の五人の王皆結合てシデムの谷に至れり其處は今の鹽海なり
4 twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and the thirteenth year they rebelled.
彼等は十二年ケダラオメルに事へ第十三年に叛けり
5 And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings who [are] with him, and they smite the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
第十四年にケダラオメルおよび彼と偕なる王等來りてアシタロテカルナイムのレパイム人、ハムのズジ人、シヤベキリアタイムのエミ人
6 and the Horites in their mount Seir, unto El-Paran, which [is] by the wilderness;
およびセイル山のホリ人を撃て曠野の傍なるエルパランに至り
7 and they turn back and come in unto En-Mishpat, which [is] Kadesh, and smite the whole field of the Amalekite, and also the Amorite who is dwelling in Hazezon-Tamar.
彼等歸りてエンミシパテ(即ち今のカデシ)に至りアマレク人の國を盡く撃又ハザゾンタマルに住るアモリ人を撃り
8 And the king of Sodom goeth out, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboim, and the king of Bela, which [is] Zoar; and they set the battle in array with them in the valley of Siddim,
爰にソドムの王ゴモラの王アデマの王ゼボイムの王およびベラ(即ち今のゾアル)の王出てシデムの谷にて彼等と戰ひを接たり
9 with Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goyim, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with the five.
即ち彼五人の王等エラムの王ケダラオメル、ゴイムの王テダル、シナルの王アムラペル、エラサルの王アリオクの四人と戰へり
10 And the valley of Siddim [is] full of bitumen-pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah flee, and fall there, and those left have fled to the mountain.
シデムの谷には地瀝靑の坑多かりしがソドムとゴモラの王等遁て其處に陷りぬ其餘の者は山に遁逃たり
11 And they take the whole substance of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the whole of their food, and go away;
是に於て彼等ソドムとゴモラの諸の物と其諸の食料を取て去れり
12 and they take Lot, Abram's brother's son (seeing he is dwelling in Sodom), and his substance, and go away.
彼等アブラムの姪ロトと其物を取て去り其は彼ソドムに住たればなり
13 And one who is escaping cometh and declareth to Abram the Hebrew, and he is dwelling among the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner, and they [are] Abram's allies.
茲に遁逃者來りてヘブル人アブラムに之を告たり時にアブラムはアモリ人マムレの橡林に住りマムレはエシコルの兄弟又アネルの兄弟なり是等はアブラムと契約を結べる者なりき
14 And Abram heareth that his brother hath been taken captive, and he draweth out his trained domestics, three hundred and eighteen, and pursueth unto Dan.
アブラム其兄弟の擄にせられしを聞しかば其熟練したる家の子三百十八人を率ゐてダンまで追いたり
15 And he divideth himself against them by night, he and his servants, and smiteth them, and pursueth them unto Hobah, which [is] at the left of Damascus;
其家臣を分ちて夜に乗じて彼等を攻め彼等を撃破りてダマスコの左なるホバまで彼等を追ゆけり
16 and he bringeth back the whole of the substance, and also Lot his brother and his substance hath he brought back, and also the women and the people.
アブラム斯諸の物を奪回し亦其兄弟ロトと其物および婦人と人民を取回せり
17 And the king of Sodom goeth out to meet him (after his turning back from the smiting of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings who [are] with him), unto the valley of Shaveh, which [is] the king's valley.
アブラム、ケダラオメルおよび彼と偕なる王等を撃破りて歸れる時ソドムの王シヤベの谷(即ち今の王の谷)にて彼を迎へたり
18 And Melchizedek king of Salem hath brought out bread and wine, and he [is] priest of God Most High;
時にサレムの王メルキゼデク、パンと酒を携出せり彼は至高き神の祭司なりき
19 and he blesseth him, and saith, 'Blessed [is] Abram to God Most High, possessing heaven and earth;
彼アブラムを祝して言けるは願くは天地の主なる至高神アブラムを祝福みたまへ
20 and blessed [is] God Most High, who hath delivered thine adversaries into thy hand;' and he giveth to him a tenth of all.
願くは汝の敵を汝の手に付したまひし至高神に稱譽あれとアブラム乃ち彼に其諸の物の什分の一を饋れり
21 And the king of Sodom saith unto Abram, 'Give to me the persons, and the substance take to thyself,'
茲にソドムの王アブラムに言けるは人を我に與へ物を汝に取れと
22 and Abram saith unto the king of Sodom, 'I have lifted up my hand unto Jehovah, God Most High, possessing heaven and earth —
アブラム、ソドムの王に言けるは我天地の主なる至高き神ヱホバを指て言ふ
23 from a thread even unto a shoe-latchet I take not of anything which thou hast, that thou say not, I — I have made Abram rich;
一本の絲にても鞋帶にても凡て汝の所屬は我取ざるべし恐くは汝我アブラムを富しめたりと言ん
24 save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who have gone with me — Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre — they take their portion.'
但少者の旣に食ひたる物および我と偕に行し人アネル、エシコルおよびマムレの分を除くべし彼等には彼等の分を取しめよ
