1 A zamanin Amrafel sarkin Shinar, shi da Ariyok sarkin Ellasar, Kedorlayomer sarkin Elam, da kuma Tidal sarkin Goyim
And it came to pass at that time, that Amraphel king of Sennaar, and Arioch king of Pontus, and Chodorlahomor king of the Elamites, and Thadal king of nations,
2 suka tafi don su yaƙi Bera sarkin Sodom, Birsha sarkin Gomorra, Shinab sarkin Adma, Shemeber sarkin Zeboyim, da kuma sarkin Bela (wato, Zowar).
Made war against Bara king of Sodom, and against Bersa king of Gomorrha, and against Sennaab king of Adama, and against Semeber king of Seboim, and against the king of Bala, which is Segor.
3 Dukan waɗannan sarakuna na bayan nan suka haɗa kai a Kwarin Siddim (Teku Gishiri).
All these came together into the woodland vale, which now is the salt sea.
4 Shekara goma sha biyu suna bauta wa Kedorlayomer, amma a shekara ta sha uku sai suka yi tawaye.
For they had served Chodorlahomor twelve years, and in the thirteenth year they revolted from him.
5 A shekara ta goma sha huɗu, Kedorlayomer da sarakunan da suka haɗa kai da shi suka tafi suka cinye Refahiyawa a Ashterot Karnayim, Zuziyawa a Ham, Emawa a Shabe Kiriyatayim,
And in the fourteenth year came Chodorlahomor, and the kings that were with him: and they smote the Raphaim in Astarothcarnaim, and the Zuzim with them, and the Emim in Save of Cariathaim.
6 da Horiyawa a ƙasar tudun Seyir har zuwa El Faran kusa da hamada.
And the Chorreans in the mountains of Seir, even to the plains of Pharan, which is in the wilderness.
7 Sa’an nan suka juya suka tafi En Mishfat (wato, Kadesh), suka cinye dukan ƙasar Amalekawa, da kuma Amoriyawa waɗanda suke zaune a Hazazon Tamar.
And they returned, and came to the fountain of Misphat, the same is Cades: and they smote all the country of the Amalecites, and the Amorrhean that dwelt in Asasonthamar.
8 Sai sarkin Sodom, sarkin Gomorra, sarkin Adma, sarkin Zeboyim da sarkin Bela (wato, Zowar), suka fita suka ja dāgā a Kwarin Siddim
And the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrha, and the king of Adama, and the king of Seboim, and the king of Bala, which is Segor, went out: and they set themselves against them in battle array in the woodland vale:
9 gāba da Kedorlayomer sarkin Elam, Tidal sarkin Goyim, Amrafel sarkin Shinar da Ariyok sarkin Ellasar; sarakuna huɗu gāba da biyar.
To wit, against Chodorlahomor king of the Elamites, and Thadal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Sennaar, and Arioch king of Pontus: four kings against five.
10 Kwarin Siddim kuwa ya cika da ramummukan kwalta, sa’ad da sarakunan Sodom da Gomorra suka gudu kuwa, waɗansu mutane suka fāɗa cikin ramummukan kwaltan, sauran kuwa suka gudu zuwa tuddai.
Now the woodland vale had many pits of slime. And the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrha turned their backs and were overthrown there: and they that remained fled to the mountain.
11 Sarakunan nan huɗu suka washe dukan kayayyakin Sodom da Gomorra, da kuma dukan abincinsu, sa’an nan suka tafi.
And they took all the substance of the Sodomites, and Gomorrhites, and all their victuals, and went their way:
12 Suka kuma kama Lot ɗan ɗan’uwan Abram, wanda yake zaune a Sodom, da kayayyakinsa, suka yi tafiyarsu.
And Lot also, the son of Abram’s brother, who dwelt in Sodom, and his substance.
13 Sai wani wanda ya tsira, ya zo ya faɗa wa Abram mutumin Ibraniyawa. Abram kuwa yana zama kusa da manyan itatuwan Mamre, Mamre mutumin Amoriyawa ne ɗan’uwan Eshkol da Aner, su kuwa abokan Abram ne.
And behold one that had escaped told Abram the Hebrew, who dwelt in the vale of Mambre the Amorrhite, the brother of Escol, and the brother of Aner: for these had made league with Abram.
14 Da Abram ya ji cewa an kama danginsa, sai ya tara horarrun mutane 318, da aka haifa a gidansa, ya bi sawun sarakunan da suka tafi da Lot, har Dan.
Which when Abram had heard, to wit, that his brother Lot was taken, he numbered of the servants born in his house, three hundred and eighteen well appointed: and pursued them to Dan.
15 Da dad dare, Abram ya rarraba mutanensa don su fāɗa wa sarakunan nan, ya ɗibge su, ya kore su har zuwa Hoba, arewa da Damaskus.
And dividing his company, he rushed upon them in the night: and defeated them, and pursued them as far as Hoba, which is on the left hand of Damascus.
16 Ya washe su da kuma dukan kayayyakinsu, ya kuma dawo da Lot danginsa da mallakarsa, tare da mata da sauran mutane.
And he brought back all the substance, and Lot his brother, with his substance, the women also and the people.
17 Bayan Abram ya dawo daga cin Kedorlayomer da sarakunan da suka haɗa kai da shi a yaƙi, sai sarkin Sodom ya fito don yă tarye Abram a Kwarin Shabe (wato, Kwarin Sarki).
And the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after he returned from the slaughter of Chodorlahomor, and of the kings that were with him in the vale of Save, which is the king’s vale.
18 Sai Melkizedek sarkin Salem ya kawo burodi da ruwan inabi. Shi firist ne na Allah Mafi Ɗaukaka,
But Melchisedech the king of Salem, bringing forth bread and wine, for he was the priest of the most high God,
19 ya albarkaci Abram yana cewa, “Allah Mafi Ɗaukaka Mahaliccin sama da ƙasa yă albarkace Abram.
Blessed him, and said: Blessed be Abram by the most high God, who created heaven and earth.
20 Kuma albarka ta tabbata ga Allah Mafi Ɗaukaka wanda ya ba da maƙiyanka a hannunka.” Sa’an nan Abram ya ba shi kashi ɗaya bisa goma na kome.
And blessed be the most high God, by whose protection the enemies are in thy hands. And he gave him the tithes of all.
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 persons, and the rest take to thyself.
22 Amma Abram ya ce, wa sarkin Sodom, “Na ɗaga hannu ga Ubangiji Allah Mafi Ɗaukaka, Mahaliccin sama da ƙasa, na riga na rantse
And he answered him: I lift up my hand to the Lord God the most high, the possessor 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 from the very woof thread unto the shoe latchet, I will not take of any things that are thine, lest thou say I have enriched 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.”
Except such things as the young men have eaten, and the shares of the men that came with me, Aner, Escol, and Mambre: these shall take their shares.
