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,
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; Birsha, king of Gomorrah; Shinab, king of Admah; Shemeber, king of Zeboiim; 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).
All these 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.
They served Chedorlaomer for twelve years, 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.
In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him came and struck the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, the Zuzim in Ham, 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 Mount Seir, to El Paran, 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.
They returned, and came to En Mishpat (also called Kadesh), and struck all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that lived 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,
The king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (also called Zoar) went out; and they set the battle in array against them 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, Tidal king of Goiim, 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 tar pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and some fell there. Those who remained fled to the hills.
11 Yo te pran tout byen Sodome avèk Gomorrhe yo avèk tout manje yo te genyen, e yo te pati.
They took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their food, 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.
They took Lot, Abram’s brother’s son, who lived 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.
One who had escaped came and told Abram, the Hebrew. At that time, he lived by the oaks of Mamre, the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and brother of Aner. They were 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.
When Abram heard that his relative was taken captive, he led out his three hundred and eighteen trained men, born in his house, and pursued 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 himself against them by night, he and his servants, and struck 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.
He brought back all the goods, and also brought back his relative Lot and his goods, and the women also, 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).
The king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, at 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.
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, and said, “Blessed be Abram of God Most High, 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.
Blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand.” Abram gave him a tenth of all.
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 the LORD, God Most High, 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 a thread nor a sandal strap nor anything 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.”
I will accept nothing from you except that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. Let them take their portion.”
