< 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,
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 nations;
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.
That these 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 were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.
4 Pandan douz ane yo te sèvi Kedorlaomer, men nan trèzyèm ane a, yo te revòlte.
Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
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 came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emins 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 mount Seir, to Elparan, which is by the wilderness.
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.
And they returned, and came to Enmishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelled in Hazezontamar.
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 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 joined battle with them in the vale 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.
With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with 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.
And the vale of Siddim was full of slime pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain.
11 Yo te pran tout byen Sodome avèk Gomorrhe yo avèk tout manje yo te genyen, e yo te pati.
And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went 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 they took Lot, Abram’s brother’s son, who dwelled in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
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 there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelled in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with 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 when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them to 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 he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them to Hobah, which is on the left hand 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 brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, 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 the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king’s dale.
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 brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.
19 Li te beni li, e te di: “Beni, se Abram a Bondye Pi Wo a, Mèt Syèl la ak tè a.
And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:
20 Beniswa Bondye Pi Wo a, ki te lage lènmi yo nan men ou.” Abram te bay li yon dim de tout bagay.
And blessed be the most high God, which has delivered your enemies into your hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
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 persons, and take the goods to 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,
And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up my hand to the LORD, the most high God, the possessor 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 from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is yours, lest you should say, I have made Abram rich:
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.”
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.
