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

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 Sarkin Sodom ya ce wa Abram, “Ka ba ni mutanena da ka ƙwace daga hannun sarakunan nan kawai, ka riƙe kayayyakin don kanka.”
And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the prisoners and take the goods for yourself.
22 Amma Abram ya ce, wa sarkin Sodom, “Na ɗaga hannu ga Ubangiji Allah Mafi Ɗaukaka, Mahaliccin sama da ƙasa, na riga na rantse
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 cewa ba zan karɓi kome da yake naka ba, ko zare ko maɗaurin takalma, don kada ka ce, ‘Na azurta Abram.’
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 Ba zan karɓi kome ba, sai dai abin da mutanena suka ci da kuma rabon mutanen da suka tafi tare da ni, ga Aner, Eshkol, da Mamre. Bari su ɗauki rabonsu.”
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.
