And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim,
2 nĩmathiire ita kũrũa na Bera mũthamaki wa Sodomu, na Birisha mũthamaki wa Gomora, na Shinabu mũthamaki wa Adima, na Shemeberi mũthamaki wa Zeboimu na mũthamaki wa Bela (na nokuo Zoari).
that they made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar).
3 Athamaki acio othe a gĩkundi gĩa keerĩ nĩmacookanĩrĩire hamwe Gĩtuamba-inĩ gĩa Sidimu (na nokuo Iria rĩa Cumbĩ).
All these joined together in the vale of Siddim (the same is the Salt Sea).
4 Ihinda rĩa mĩaka ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ maatũire matungatagĩra Mũthamaki Kedorilaomeri, no mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na ĩtatũ makĩregana na watho wake.
Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
5 Mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na ĩna-rĩ, Mũthamaki Kedorilaomeri na athamaki arĩa maarĩ hamwe nake magĩthiĩ makĩhoota Arefai kũu Ashiterothu-Karinaimu, na Azuzi kũu Hamu, na Aemi kũu Shave-Kiriathaimu,
And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh-kiriathaim,
6 nao Ahori makĩmahootera bũrũri-inĩ wa irĩma wa Seiru, o nginya Eli-Parani gũkuhĩ na werũ.
and the Horites in their mount Seir, unto El-paran, which is by the wilderness.
7 Ningĩ athamaki acio makĩgarũrũka, magĩthiĩ Eni-Mishipatu (na nokuo Kadeshi), magĩtooria rũgongo ruothe rwa Amaleki, o hamwe na Aamori arĩa maatũũraga kũu Hazazoni-Tamaru.
And they returned, and came to En-mishpat (the same is Kadesh), and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in Hazazon-tamar.
8 Ningĩ mũthamaki wa Sodomu, na mũthamaki wa Gomora, na mũthamaki wa Adima, na mũthamaki wa Zeboimu, na mũthamaki wa Bela (na nokuo Zoari) magĩthiĩ makĩhaarĩria ita rĩao rĩa mbaara o kũu Gĩtuamba-inĩ gĩa Sidimu,
And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar); and they set the battle in array against them in the vale of Siddim;
9 mahũũrane na Kedorilaomeri mũthamaki wa Elamu, na Tidali mũthamaki wa Goimu, na Amurafeli mũthamaki wa Shinaru, na Arioku mũthamaki wa Elasaru, athamaki acio ana mahũũrane na athamaki acio angĩ atano.
against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings against the five.
10 Na rĩrĩ, Gĩtuamba kĩu gĩa Sidimu kĩaiyũrĩte marima ma rami, na rĩrĩa athamaki a Sodomu na Gomora mooraga-rĩ, andũ amwe ao makĩgũa kuo nao arĩa angĩ makĩũrĩra irĩma-inĩ.
Now the vale of Siddim was full of slime pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and they fell there, and they that remained fled to the mountain.
11 Athamaki acio ana magĩtunyana indo ciothe cia Sodomu na Gomora o na irio ciakuo ciothe; magĩcooka magĩĩthiĩra.
And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.
12 Ningĩ magĩtaha Loti, mũriũ wa mũrũ wa nyina na Aburamu, na indo ciake, tondũ aatũũraga kũu Sodomu.
And they took Lot, Abram’s brother’s son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
13 Na rĩrĩ, mũndũ ũmwe wahonokete gũtahwo-rĩ, agĩũka na akĩĩra Aburamu ũrĩa Mũhibirania ũhoro ũcio. Na rĩrĩ, Aburamu aatũũraga hakuhĩ na mĩtĩ ĩrĩa mĩnene ya mĩgandi ya Mamure ũrĩa Mũamori, mũrũ wa nyina na Eshikoli na Aneri, na othe maarĩ rũmwe na Aburamu.
And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew: now he dwelt by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner; and these were confederate with Abram.
14 Rĩrĩa Aburamu aiguire atĩ mũndũ ũcio wao nĩanyiitĩtwo agatahwo-rĩ, agĩĩta andũ magana matatũ na ikũmi na anana arĩa maarutĩtwo kũrũa mbaara na maaciarĩirwo gwake mũciĩ, makĩingatithia thũ icio o nginya Dani.
And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he led forth his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued as far as Dan.
15 Ũtukũ-rĩ, Aburamu akĩgayania andũ ake mamatharĩkĩre, nake akĩmahoota na akĩmaingatithia nginya Hoba, itũũra rĩrĩ gathigathini wa Dameski.
And he divided himself against them by night, he and his servants, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.
16 Aburamu agĩcookithia indo ciothe iria ciatahĩtwo, na Loti mũndũ ũcio wao, na indo ciake ciothe, hamwe na andũ-a-nja na andũ arĩa angĩ.
And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.
17 Aburamu acooka kuuma kũhoota Kedorilaomeri na athamaki arĩa maarĩ rũmwe nake-rĩ, mũthamaki wa Sodomu agĩthiĩ kũmũtũnga Gĩtuamba-inĩ gĩa Shave (na no kĩo gĩĩtagwo Gĩtuamba-kĩa-Mũthamaki).
And the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him, at the vale of Shaveh (the same is the King’s Vale).
18 Nake Melikisedeki mũthamaki wa Salemu akĩrehe mĩgate na ndibei. We aarĩ mũthĩnjĩri wa Mũrungu Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno.
And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was priest of God Most High.
19 Na akĩrathima Aburamu, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Aburamu arorathimwo nĩ Mũrungu Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno, o we Mũmbi wa igũrũ na thĩ.
And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth:
20 Ningĩ Mũrungu Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno arogaathwo, o ũcio ũraneanire thũ ciaku moko-inĩ maku.” Nake Aburamu akĩhe Melikisedeki gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi kĩa indo ciothe iria aatunyĩte athamaki arĩa ana.
and blessed be God Most High, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him a tenth of all.
21 Nake mũthamaki wa Sodomu akĩĩra Aburamu atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nengera o andũ tu, ũrigie na indo ituĩke ciaku.”
And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.
22 No Aburamu akĩĩra mũthamaki ũcio wa Sodomu atĩrĩ, “Nĩnyambararĩtie guoko gwakwa na igũrũ na ngehĩta na mwĩhĩtwa kũrĩ Jehova Mũrungu Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno, Mũmbi wa igũrũ na thĩ,
And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth,
23 atĩ ndingĩĩtĩkĩra kuoya kĩndũ o na kĩmwe gĩaku, o na karũrigi kana kamũkwa ga kĩraatũ, nĩgeetha ndũkanoige atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ niĩ ndatongirie Aburamu.’
that I will not take a thread nor a shoelatchet nor aught that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:
24 Ndingĩĩtĩkĩra kuoya kĩndũ, o tiga kĩrĩa kĩrĩĩtwo nĩ andũ akwa, na igai rĩa andũ arĩa tũrathiĩte nao, na nĩo Aneri, na Eshikoli, na Mamure. Acio nĩmooe rũgai rwao.”
save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men which went with me; Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre, let them take their portion.
