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 accept even one thread or a thong of a sandal from anything that belongs to you. As a result, you will never be able to say, ‘I caused Abram to become rich.’
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.”
The only thing I will accept is the food that my men have eaten. But Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre went with me and fought alongside me, so let them also have a share of the goods we brought back.” [So the king of Sodom agreed to what he said].
