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,

It came about in the days of Amraphel, king of Shinar, Arioch, king of Ellasar, Kedorlaomer, 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.

that they made war against Bera, king of Sodom, Birsha, king of Gomorrah, Shinab, king of Admah, Shemeber, king of Zeboyim, and the king of Bela (also called Zoar).

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

These latter five kings joined together in the Valley of Siddim (also called the Salt Sea).

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

Twelve years they had served Kedorlaomer, but 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.

Then in the fourteenth year, Kedorlaomer and the kings who were with him came and attacked the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, the Zuzites in Ham, the Emites 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 hill country of Seir, as far as El Paran, which is near the desert.

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 turned and came to En Mishpat (also called Kadesh), and defeated all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites who lived in Hazezon 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,

Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboyim, and the king of Bela (also called Zoar) went out and prepared for battle 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 Kedorlaomer, king of Elam, Tidal, king of Goiim, Amraphel, king of Shinar, 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 tar pits, and as the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, they fell in there. Those who were left fled to the mountains.

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

So the kings took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their provisions, 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.

When they went, they also took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who was living in Sodom, along with all his possessions.

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.

One who had escaped came and told Abram the Hebrew. He was living by the oaks that belonged to Mamre, the Amorite, who was the brother of Eshkol and Aner, who were all allies 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.

Now when Abram heard that enemies had captured his relative, he led out his 318 trained men who had been born in his house, and he pursued 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.

He divided his men against them at night and attacked them, and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is north 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.

Then he brought back all the possessions, and also brought back his relative Lot and his goods, as well as the women and the other 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).

After Abram returned from defeating Kedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (also called 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.

Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High.

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

He blessed him saying, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator 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.

Blessed be God Most High, who has given your enemies into your hand.” Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.

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

The king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people, 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,

Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have lifted up my hand to Yahweh, God Most High, Creator 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 a thread, a sandal strap, or anything that is yours, so that you can never 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.”

I will take nothing except what the young men have eaten and the share of the men that went with me. Let Aner, Eshkol, and Mamre take their portion.”
