Jenèz 14

1 Li te rive nan jou Amraphel yo, wa Schinear a, ke Arjoc, wa Ellasar a, Kedorlaomer, wa Élam nan, avèk Tideal, wa Gojim nan,

Now in the days of Amraphel, king of Shinar, Arioch, king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of Goiim,

2 ke yo te vin fè lagè avèk Béra, wa Sodome nan, e avèk Birscha, wa Gomorrhe a, Schineab, wa Adma a, ak Schémbeébern wa Tseboïm nan, avèk wa a Béla a, ki se Tsoar.

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 (which is Zoar).

3 Tout sila yo te vini nan yon alyans nan vale Siddim nan (sa vle di Lanmè Sèl la).

All these came together in the valley of Siddim (which is the Salt Sea).

4 Pandan douz ane yo te sèvi Kedorlaomer, men nan trèzyèm ane a, yo te revòlte.

For twelve years they were under the rule of Chedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year they put off his control.

5 Nan katòzyèm ane a, Kedorlaomer ak wa ki te avè l yo, te vin bat Rephaïm nan Ashterothkarnaim, Zuzim lan nan Ham, avèk Émim nan Schavé-Kirjathaïm.

And in the fourteenth year, Chedorlaomer and the kings who were on his side, overcame the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh-kiriathaim,

6 Avèk Oryen yo nan mòn pa yo nan Séir jiska distans rive nan Al-Paran, ki touprè dezè a.

And the Horites in their mountain Seir, driving them as far as El-paran, which is near the waste land.

7 Epi yo vin retounen rive nan En-Mischpath, (ki se Kadès), e yo te bat Amalesit yo nan tout peyi yo, e osi Amoreyen ki te rete Hatsatson-Thamar yo.

Then they came back to En-mishpat (which is Kadesh), making waste all the country of the Amalekites and of the Amorites living in Hazazon-tamar.

8 Epi wa Sodome nan avèk wa Gomorrhe a avèk wa Adma ak wa Tseboïm nan, e wa Béla a, (ki se Tsoar); te vin parèt. Yo ranje yo pou fè batay kont yo nan vale Siddim nan,

And the king of Sodom with the king of Gomorrah and the king of Admah and the king of Zeboiim and the king of Bela (that is Zoar), went out, and put their forces in position in the valley of Siddim,

9 kont Kedorlaomer wa Élam nan, Tideal, wa Gojim nan, Amraphel, wa Schinear nan, ak Arjoc, wa Ellasar a; kat wa kont senk.

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 Alò, vale Siddim nan te ranpli avèk fon azfòt yo, epi wa Sodome avèk Gomorrhe yo te sove ale, e kèk tonbe la. Men sila ki te chape yo te sove ale, rive nan tèt mòn yo.

Now the valley of Siddim was full of holes of sticky earth; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah were put to flight and came to their end there, but the rest got away to the mountain.

11 Yo te pran tout byen Sodome avèk Gomorrhe yo avèk tout manje yo te genyen, e yo te pati.

And the four kings took all the goods and food from Sodom and Gomorrah and went on their way.

12 Anplis, yo te pran Lot, neve a Abram nan avèk tout byen li, e yo te pati, paske li t ap viv Sodome.

And in addition they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who was living in Sodom, and all his goods.

13 Alò, yon moun ki te sove ale te vin di Abram, Ebre a, tout sa. Alò, li t ap viv bò kote chenn Mamré yo, Amoreyen sila a, frè Eschcol e frè Aner, ki te fè yon alyans avèk Abram.

And one who had got away from the fight came and gave word of it to Abram the Hebrew, who was living by the holy tree of Mamre, the Amorite, the brother of Eshcol and Aner, who were friends of Abram.

14 Lè Abram te tande ke moun fanmi li te pran an kaptivite, li te Mennen dèzòm ki te enstwi, twa-san-diz-uit òm ki te elve nan kay li pou te pouswiv yo jis rive nan Dan.

And Abram, hearing that his brother's son had been made a prisoner, took a band of his trained men, three hundred and eighteen of them, sons of his house, and went after them as far as Dan.

15 Li te divize ekip li yo kont yo nan lannwit. Epi li avèk sèvitè li yo te bat yo, e yo te kouri dèyè yo jis rive Choba, ki nan nò Damas la.

And separating his forces by night, he overcame them, putting them to flight and going after them as far as Hobah, which is on the north side of Damascus.

16 Li te mennen fè retounen tout byen yo. Anplis, li te mennen tounen moun fanmi li an, Lot, avèk byen pa l, fanm, avèk lòt moun yo.

And he got back all the goods, and Lot, his brother's son, with his goods and the women and the people.

17 Apre Abram te sòti nan masak Kédorlaomer ak wa ki te avè l yo, wa Sodome nan te sòti pou rankontre l nan vale Schavé a, (sa vle di Vale a Wa a).

And when he was coming back after putting to flight Chedorlaomer and the other kings, he had a meeting with the king of Sodom in the valley of Shaveh, that is, the King's Valley.

18 Konsa, Melchisédek, wa Salèm nan te mennen pote pen avèk diven. Alò li menm se te yon prèt a Bondye Pi Wo a.

And Melchizedek, king of Salem, the priest of the Most High God, took bread and wine,

19 Li te beni li, e te di: “Beni, se Abram a Bondye Pi Wo a, Mèt Syèl la ak tè a.

And blessing him, said, May the blessing of the Most High God, maker of heaven and earth, be on Abram:

20 Beniswa Bondye Pi Wo a, ki te lage lènmi yo nan men ou.” Abram te bay li yon dim de tout bagay.

And let the Most High God be praised, who has given into your hands those who were against you. Then Abram gave him a tenth of all the goods he had taken.

21 Wa Sodome nan te di Abram: “Ban mwen moun yo, e ou mèt pran byen yo pou ou menm.”

And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the prisoners and take the goods for yourself.

22 Abram te di a Wa Sodome nan: “Mwen te sèmante a Senyè Bondye Pi Wo a, Mèt sou syèl la avèk tè a,

But Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have taken an oath to the Lord, the Most High God, maker of heaven and earth,

23 ke mwen p ap pran menm yon fisèl oswa yon sandal, ni yon las, ni anyen ki pou ou, akoz laperèz ke ou ta di ‘se ou ki fè Abram vin rich’.

That I will not take so much as a thread or the cord of a shoe of yours; so that you may not say, I have given wealth to Abram:

24 Mwen p ap pran anyen sof ke sa ke jennonm yo te manje, ak pòsyon pou mesye ki te ale avè m yo, Aner, Eschcol, avèk Mamré; kite yo pran pòsyon pa yo.”

Give me nothing but the food which the fighting-men who went with me have had; but let Aner and Eshcol and Mamre have their part of the goods.
