Jenèz 14

1 Lè sa a, Anmrafèl te wa Chenea, Ajòk te wa Elaza, Kedòlaòmè te wa Elam, Tideal te wa lòt nasyon yo.

Now it happened in that time that Amraphel, king of Shinar, and Arioch, king of Pontus, and Chedorlaomer, king of the Elamites, and Tidal, king of the Nations,

2 Yo kat yo leve, y al fè lagè ak senk lòt wa. Bera ki te wa Sodòm, Bicha ki te wa Gomò, Cheneab ki te wa Adma, Chemebè ki te wa zeboyim yo, ak wa peyi Bela a. Peyi sa a te rele Zoa tou.

went to war against Bera, king of Sodom, and against Birsha, king of Gomorrah, and against Shinab, king of Admah, and against Shemeber, king of Zeboiim, and against the king of Bela, that is Zoar.

3 Senk wa sa yo mete tèt yo ansanm, yo reyini nan Fon Sidim lan kote lanmè Sèl la ye a.

All these came together in the wooded valley, which is now the Sea of Salt.

4 Pandan douzan, senk wa sa yo te soumèt devan Kedòlaòmè. Lanne ki fè yo trèzan an, yo revòlte.

For they had served Chedorlaomer for twelve years, and in the thirteenth year they withdrew from him.

5 Lanne apre sa, ki pou ta fè yo katòzan nan pozisyon sa a, Kedòlaòmè ansanm ak twa wa ki te mete tèt ansanm ak li yo vin rive. Yo bat refayim yo nan lavil Astawòt-Kanayim, yo bat zouzim yo nan lavil Am, yo bat emim yo nan laplenn Chave-Kiryatayim.

Therefore, in the fourteenth year, Chedorlaomer arrived, and the kings who were with him. And they struck the Rephaim at Ashteroth of the two horns, and the Zuzim with them, and the Emim at Shaveh-Kiriathaim.

6 Yo bat orit yo sou mòn Seyi, jouk bò kote pye bwadchenn Paran an, ki toupre dezè a.

and the Chorreans in the mountains of Seir, even to the plains of Paran, which is in the wilderness.

7 Apre sa, yo kase tèt tounen, yo rive bò Sous jijman an, yo bat tout chèf moun Amelèk yo, yo pran tout bèt yo. Yo bat moun Amori yo tout ki rete Azazon-Tama, yo bat yo byen bat.

And they returned and arrived at the fountain of Mishpat, which is Kadesh. And they struck the entire region of the Amalekites, and the Amorites who dwelt in Hazazontamar.

8 Lè sa a, wa Sodòm, wa Gomò, wa Adma, wa zeboyim ansanm ak wa Bela a, yo soti, yo pran pozisyon nan Fon Sidim lan pou yo goumen

And the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and indeed the king of Bela, which is Zoar, went forth. And they directed their point against them in the wooded valley,

9 kont Kedòlaòmè, wa Elam, Tideal, wa lòt nasyon yo, Anmrafèl, wa Chenea ak Ajòch, wa Elaza. Sa te fè kat wa kont senk wa.

namely, against Chedorlaomer, king of the Elamites, and Tidal, king of the Nations, and Amraphel, king of Shinar, and Arioch, king of Pontus: four kings against five.

10 Nan Fon Sidim lan te gen anpil twou byen fon ki te plen asfat. Pandan batay la, wa Sodòm ak wa Gomò yo pran kouri pou lènmi yo, yo te vle wete kò yo nan batay la, yo tonbe nan twou asfat yo. Lòt wa yo menm kouri al kache nan mòn.

Now the wooded valley had many pits of bitumen. And so the king of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah turned back and they fell there. And those who remained, fled to the mountain.

11 Kat wa yo pran tout sa yo jwenn nan Sodòm ak Gomò, ata pwovizyon manje, epi y al fè wout yo.

Then they took all the substance of the Sodomites and the Gomorrhites, and all that pertained to food, and they went away,

12 Yo pase men yo yo pran Lòt, pitit frè Abram lan, ansanm ak tout byen l' yo, paske se Sodòm Lòt te rete.

along with both Lot, the son of Abram’s brother, who lived in Sodom, and his substance.

13 Men, yonn nan mesye ki te chape nan batay la vin di Abram sa. Lè sa a, Abram te rete toupre pye bwadchenn Manmre a. Manmre sa a, se te yon moun Amori. Se te frè Echkòl ak Ane. tout de mesye sa yo te pase kontra avèk Abram.

And behold, one who had escaped reported it to Abram the Hebrew, who lived in the steep valley of Mamre the Amorite, who was the brother of Eshcol, and the brother of Aner. For these had formed an agreement with Abram.

14 Lè Abram vin konnen yo te fè neve l' la prizonye, li sanble tout domestik ki te fèt lakay li yo epi ki te konn goumen. Li pran twasandizwit (318) antou. Epi li file dèyè wa yo jouk lavil Dann.

When Abram had heard this, namely, that his brother Lot had been taken captive, he numbered three hundred and eighteen of his own armed men and he went in pursuit all the way to Dan.

15 La, yon jou lannwit, li separe mesye li yo, li fè yo fè de gwoup, epi li atake lènmi yo. Li bat yo byen bat, li kouri dèyè yo jouk yo rive Oba, ki sou bò nò lavil Damas.

And dividing his company, he rushed upon them in the night. And he struck them and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.

16 Li reprann tout byen yo te pran yo, li mennen Lòt, neve li a, tounen lakay li ansanm ak tout byen l' yo, tout medam yo ak tout pèp la.

And he brought back all the substance, and Lot his brother, with his substance, likewise the women and the people.

17 Apre Abram te fin kraze Kedòlaòmè ansanm ak tout lòt wa ki te fè tèt ansanm ak Kedòlaòmè yo, li t'ap tounen lakay li. Wa Sodòm lan vin rankontre l' nan Fon Chave a ki rele Fon Wa a tou.

Then the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after he returned from the slaughter at Chedorlaomer, and the kings who were with him at the valley of Shaveh, which is the valley of the king.

18 Mèlkisedèk menm ki te wa peyi Salèm fè pote pen ak diven vini. Se yon prèt ki t'ap sèvi Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la li te ye.

Then in truth, Melchizedek, the king of Salem, brought forth bread and wine, for he was a priest of the Most High God;

19 Li beni Abram, li di. Se pou Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la, li menm ki fè syèl la ak latè a, beni Abram.

he blessed him, and he said: “Blessed be Abram by the Most High God, who created heaven and earth.

20 Lwanj pou Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la. Se li menm ki te lage lènmi ou yo nan men ou. Apre sa, Abram ba li yon dizyèm nan tout sa li te pran.

And blessed be the Most High God, through whose protection the enemies are in your hands.” And he gave him tithes from everything.

21 Lèfini, wa Sodòm lan di Abram. Ou mèt gade tout byen yo pou ou. Men ban mwen moun yo sèlman.

Then the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me these souls, and take the rest for yourself.”

22 Abram reponn wa Sodòm lan, li di l'. Mwen fè sèman devan Seyè a, Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la, li menm ki fè syèl la ak latè a,

And he responded to him: “I lift up my hand to the Lord God, the Most High, the Possessor of heaven and earth,

23 mwen p'ap pran anyen nan sa ki pou ou, li te mèt yon ti moso fil, yon kòd sapat. Konsa, ou p'ap janm ka di se ou menm ki fè Abram rich.

that from one thread within a blanket, even to a single shoelace, I will not take anything from that which is yours, lest you say, ‘I have enriched Abram,’

24 Mwen pa bezwen anyen pou tèt pa m'. Men, m'ap asepte sa moun mwen yo te manje, ansanm ak pòsyon ki pou moun ki te mache avè m' yo. Wi, se pou Ane, Echkòl ak Manmre pran sa ki vin pou yo a.

except that which the young men have eaten, and the shares for the men who came with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. These will take their shares.”
